It came about when I saw that the Sr.Ctr. was giving lessons and they showed a photo of the participants and they looked like they had fun and that they were about our age (70+). It looked like fun. I'm not redy to join a class yet, but I did order a DVD and that should arrive in a few days. In the meanwhile, I've downloaded a video and I'm having fun learning how to dance.Glad to say that it seems that my brain and feet still work together.

Hi; Thanks for the suggestions. Pete, I agree. I've been considering moving up to a third bin. Equinox, let me answer them in order. I'm familiar with the Bokashi process and responded to that question here today. I'm waiting for answers, either from the original poster or from others, on the feasibility of using fresh Bokashi in a worm bin; after all, I don't want to pickle my squirm. I have nowhere to set up a compost bin. If the Bokashi requires secondary composting before being fit to feed to the worms, then it's not for me. I have never seen BSFL in Israel. That doesn't mean they don't exist, I just have never encountered any; and not having a use for or any way to dispose of the byproduct (that is - the larva), I'm not going looking for them either. If I was in a living situation like in the early 1980's where I had ducks and neighbors with poultry, that would be different. Now, it's just not feasible. Can the scraps be sun dried? maybe, but how would that work with rehydrating them for worm food? A season of less worm-food availability? Not really. One of the things about living in a Mediterranean climate is that most worm-friendly foods are available almost year-round. Soup stock...but not for me. If I need to be cooking up veg peelings with rotten or funny-tasting fruits to feed my worms, then I might just as well order them in - Home Catering. Pet chicken: usually ends up as dinner. So I'm probably going to opt for another bin with the possibility of adding the Bokashi process. Worst case scenario: my town has a city-wide organic waste recycling program and I can always throw the excess there, but not only is that an insult to my hoarding tendencies, it just feels plain wrong.

So glad you brought this to our attention although this is exactly why my niece has a pic of herself from the back only as her pic and why I monitor my dd's postings on myspace. One of her friends changed her pic to a shot of her in her bra and panties in front of bath mirror asking "do I look fat?". Boy that caused a chat. Guess her parents don't monitor her. It looks like a bathing suit but to a preditor they KNOW it is bra and panties. Sick, just sick. I really hope your friend works with the authorities and they catch at least this one sicko.

there is so much 'hype' here in UK. It is supposed to be a national holiday (day off work) but my lovely boss (being sarcastic here) decided we should keep the garden center open and have a big screen tv in the coffee shop so people (shoppers NOT employees) can watch it. We've sold t towels, mugs, coloring books, sticker books, paper doll books etc. I hope the couple can enjoy their day even with the millions watching/reporting on their every move. Diane
