lainy, I keep making indoor bouquets too--they don't last as long as outdoors but at least I can enjoy the fragrance. Only the strongest have any scent outdoors when it is cold. Wonder if it would be worth learning how to dry the buds and blooms--my aunt does some gorgeous stuff with hers but I've never tried. Ken, mine have yet to see a freeze of any kind. It is doing the usual midwestern wackiness here--60 yesterday, highs in the 30s today, thunderstorms projected all week but no freezing temps yet or snow, very springlike. Both in going dormant and deciding when to emerge mine frequently have to deal with wild weather swings and mixed signals to say the least. During vicious springs when they freeze back (sometimes more than once) after leafing out I have to convince myself that anything meant to grow here will take the climate craziness. And they don't ever die, just lose more cane some years than others...

Thanks, everybody! So far it is a beautiful and snowy birthday here in Arkansas. Twinkie offered to take me out for lunch. I counter offered with a late breakfast. (He took the bait! LOL He knows I'm getting addicted to these flannel pajamas all day.) So far 60 feels just like 59 did. Fancy that??! LOL Happy Birthday, Pattico, my birthday twin!

@nucleartumbleweed... Congrats on the new Electrolux's (I have the older 70 WaveTouch series) you should enjoy your machines very much. What I do when I'm done using mine is wipe down the door glass, boot (the rubber seal between the door and the drum), take out the detergent drawer and shake it dry. Leave the door open and the detergent drawer open or leave it out (on top of the machine) to dry out until next use or for 24/48 hours. Use hot for your whites and you can do a Sanitize wash every once in a while to help kill bacteria not only in your clothes but in the machine also (use Sanitary for whites). Warm is now the new Cold. Temps in today efficient machines have been turned (dumbed) down. Warm is now in the 70-80 degree range (not in the 90/100's like they used to be). Use cold infrequently for dark specialty items that are super delicate...but most of today's colorfast times can withstand warm. Do the Clean Cycle when the machine promps you (Electrolux is every 50 washes), with a cup of bleach. Remember scented bleach or splashless bleach is not a disinfectant. Only traditional good old bleach is labeled to kill 99.9% of household germs. You can use "pods" but DO NOT put them in the detergent drawer. They go directly into the drum with the clothes. The same with scent beads, pods or scent crystals. Most of us separate our whites from our colors. If you want dazzling whites, wash them together with no color items. You don't need all the stuff we post here in pictures or talk about. We just get carried away here and simply must have our stash of new and improved or just discussed items. Ask if have more questions, there are a bunch of great people here that would be happy to assist you.

Nope - didn't get it. But, if you other peeps will bear with us, I'll tell ya what I sent. Noticed that you had done work reuniting WWII vets. I've tried to locate a servicewoman who served on Leyte and have had no luck, whatsoever. Haven't found her name on any service roster, etc. I have an item that I would love to return to her or to her family.

Think it's something you could help me with, or maybe give me some additional info to help me?

TIA

Unfortunately, I can't think of a way I could help. Back in 1995, veterans were gathering to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the end of the war. When I volunteered to help, I was contacted by vets looking for buddies they hadn't heard from in decades. I found hundreds of them. It was a wonderful experience. I simply used software that had phone directories for the U.S. It was state-of-the-art at the time, but very ho-hum 12 years later.

If I think of anything, I'll let you know. Don't you wish GardenWeb email worked better?

Yes, I sure do! (Wonder if they're listening!? LOL)

Thanks for all the work that you did for the veterans. My dad was in the infantry and WWII vets hold a special place in my heart.

Sorry you didn't have any answers for me, however. I'm gonna keep looking!

Des,

I have a subscription to an online locater service. As long as the phone number isn't an unlisted number, I should be able to get it... and even when the phone number is unlisted, it often still gives a street address, town, and zip code. You should be able to e-mail me through my page, if you'd like for me to try...

Lindsey, what I've always run into is the fact that it is a servicewoman's name. I figure she later married and changed names, etc. We could try, I guess, thanks. I'll e-mail you through this site.

(At this point I don't care if everybody in the US (and Canada!) e-mail me!!! LOL)
