Hello Milkweed folks, I will be posting the availability of the Asclepias variegata seed from ctnchpr later today on the new MILKWEED FORUM. I wanted to give folks on this thread a little advance notice before I post on the other forum. I have 24 packets of 25+ seeds each to distribute. These seed will be offered on a first-come-first-served basis. The viability looks like it will be low-hence the large number of seed in each packet. Please respond to my private email and NOT on this thread. Those that do use this thread will slip to the bottom of the list. My email address is : wildflowerman_2000@yahoo.com . Please put "Redring Milkweed" in the subject line. Those emails arriving with no subject line will be automatically deleted for security reasons. Happy Sowing!! Regards, Mark (wildflowerman_2000)

ginny12 By 9 a.m. today we have already had thunder, lightening, snow, ice, hail and its still raining--I am not going anywhere, so I decided to play awhile. If I understand right, you want the people to appear in alphabetical order on your email even though it is sent BCC. I tried several ways before I got what you want. Here is how I did it. I opened my Address Book and clicked on the Group Folder on the left Then in the right-hand column, I clicked that little arrow until the names were alphabetically descending (with "Z" at the top). Then still in the Address Book, I went to the File menu and left clicked on "Edit" >> "Select All" (highlighting all the names/addresses) of the "group" on the right. then still in the Address Book, I went back to the File Menu and left clicked on "Tools" >> Action">> Send Mail" and an email will open with the names/addies all in the "To:" line in ascending order. Click into the "To:" line Then I once more went to "Edit">> "Select All". Then back up to "Edit>>and "Cut" Then click into the BCC line and "Edit">> "Paste" They then paste in alphabetical order. I had made up a group and sent it this way to my friends and when I checked the properties in the sent folder, all of the name/addies were in ascending alphabetically order. Hope this works for you.

Thanks, I see how using the bcc addressing would work. As it turns out the "list" I created did keep secrete the content of the list. I figured it didn't because Thunderbird just calls it a "list". Further, the copy my "send" left for me showed all the addresses. I sent a follow up to one of the addressees and he said all he sees is his address, he does not see the others on the list. So, the Thunderbird address "list" is an Undisclosed list. I could have sent a copy to myself to test, but didn't think of it a the time.

My anti-virus software hates Pinterest. When I click on one of the many links as Annie describes it keeps giving me, "Are you sure you want to go there?", messages. Much of the stuff I see on the Food and Drink page uses cans of this and packages of that we don't use. There's so many duplicates on that page it irritates me. I just can't handle all the crockpot chicken things. It was interesting for the first couple weeks but the novelty has worn off and I've not looked at Pinterest in weeks. If I was 25 and had a very young family - maybe. But I'm not. I'm an experienced cook and we are empty nesters. I'm not trying to push a blog so there doesn't seem to be any reason to add the frustration to my life. I've got enough of that already. /tricia
