I am not saying it was threatening...I was "annoyed" it started out that they had "seen it for sale"...That was my only thing that really bothered me. I can't stand something starting out as a lie. Had it not mentioned it had been for sale. I may not have though anything other than it a compliment. That said...it did annoy me that I received an email from someone here stating my tree was for sale. If ones find that it wrong that it annoyed me the emailer started with a lie...then, I guess I may have had to strong of morals from truths and lies. But...it did offend me. I didn't name the emailer...in this thread. So I am not really pointing fingers at an individual. Just wanting ones to know...be honest. Don't start out saying untruths. The untruths are annoying.

I think the lady who sent you plants is Seiko, who lives in Texas. She also sent me some. You can put her name in the search window on the member's page. Darlene

Vernake, huh? The one that rhymes with "snake"? Oh, no - that's the ones that were in the part of the big banks that assembled those stinky mortgages to pawn off on various unsuspecting investment agencies and people. Should have been forced to return their bonuses, at least, maybe 3/4 or their salary ... or no bail-out. As for that kind of mail ... I've had scores of similar type. Including from some widows claiming to be on their deathbeds with lousy in-laws who want to waylay their inheritance ... ... that they want to send me, to promise that I'll give most of it to charities, widows, orphans, etc. I haven't yet replied to suggest that they just give the money to a reputable charitable agency in their own land. One artist guy the other day wanted me to collect money from his customers here, as it was difficult to have them send it to him, then forward it to him. I wrote to offer the sugestion that he open a Canadian bank account and just have his cutomers transfer the money, then they can send it to him. He wrote right back, saying that he couldn't open a Canadian bank account ... and could I collect for him? I think that I'll write him to suggest that I want no part of money laundering. I did get an email the other day from a guy with a pipeline to the Ghadaffi system in Libya, asking that I receive some money from them, that I can use for five years or something like that, then return it. I've been thinking of writing to the Syrian embassy in Ottawa, asking the recipient if they aren't proud to be associated with the government of Syria, at this juncture? Our government just declared their Embassy closed, froze their bank accounts and gave their staff five days to get out of the country. After which one of their members asked to be accepted as a refugee. ole joyful

Getting Emails Sent To You...3-step Process There are three things you have to do to get emails sent to you when someone posts to a thread you started: Be sure you have a valid/current email address in your profile Again in your profile, be sure you have the "Allow other users to send you email via forms at our site." box checked (at the bottom of the profile page) Be sure to check the box labeled "Check here if you would like copies of follow-ups to your message emailed to you" when you submit your post. (Below the "Message" box) Hmmm...maybe a 4th step...don't forget to "Save Your Member Profile" when you make changes! (button at bottom of profile page) If you do all 3 (or 4!) things, you should get an email when someone posts to your message. Note: Some members have said they still have problems getting emails. I seem to always get emails, but I have noticed that occasionally there will be a several hour delay and once there was a several day delay...I don't know why. Also, check your Junk Mail, sometimes the emails end up there. Add "gardenweb_user@gardenweb.com" to your "safe senders" list as well. If you still don't get emails, check with your internet service provider and be sure emails from GW are not being filtered out as junk before they get to you.
