no, I haven't used it for that, and it doesn't work for me for that, but it probably depends on what's causing the gas. Those are good buggies to have in your gut, in fact, without them, you'd be a sorry puppy, but you may need to find out the cause of your gas... if it's foods like broccoli and beans and such, they are gas causing plants, if it's something like irritable bowel syndrome, again, I don't think that they would help. But like I said, they are good to have in your gut! :)

It sounds like relations with your brother aren't so great, either, or else he has a bad conscience about his wife's behavior. For the sake of family peace, I'd be tactful, but I'd be clear and firm: express a willingness to share cuttings and explain how to get them to root, but make it clear that your sister-in-law is not to take cuttings without your permission, so that she doesn't damage rare and vulnerable plants. It might help if you explain that these roses didn't come for the nearest big box store, as lagomorphmom said. If you can work in an implication that she'll have a better garden in the long run if she has you as a friend and gardening ally rather than as an enemy, so much the better, but unfortunately a lot of people don't understand this line of reasoning. Good luck!! Melissa

Thank you everyone. It helps so much to be able to write it all out here. I said before, you are all like my online diary. :) I know I have to let go of things with my dad and I'm really trying to. Hopefully he's up in heaven knowing my babies are on the way (wishful thinking at least). If I am pregnant this round, the baby/ies would be due right around his birthday so it's a little eerie when I think about it! I've had a very lazy week so far but mostly because my medications make me so tired (and hungry!). Your messages mean so much to me. Thank you. And you all will be one of the first to know if it's positive!
