Im saddened to say I cannot attend. My 3.5 year old girl got the gastrointestinal virus last night. So Ive had the pleasure of cleaning up puke all night. I cant very well leave her in this condition with a sitter today. So, my plants are all dug up and potted and my canna lily tubers are cleaned and dried. Im not sure where any of you swapppers live but I live in shrewsbury. If anybody lives near shrewsbury and has room to bring more plants, please respond. Or if anyone lives near shrewsbury and wants some plants during the next few weeks, let me know. Im sorry and bumbed. But, alas, I guess when it comes to health, families are allowed to take precedence over hobbies. Hope you all have fun....greg

Moni, If I'm making something for someone else, or taking an online course, it's easy to keep busy with crafts, etc. Otherwise, have to push myself to find something to do. Was physically active all my life -- then this ol' bod decided to do an internal Dorial Gray. Ha (And one of those important life questions comes to mind: Why is gray sometimes spelled grey??) Was swimming 3 times a week when my first 'attack' of vertigo occurred. Couldn't lift my head to even reach the phone a few inches away. Scary. Unfortunately with Agoraphobia, once you get frightened, you tend to avoid that thing that you figure was the offending trigger. So, mixing a deteriorating body with straight-from-h___ mental processing really puts a crimp in 'living the good life.' Being able to once again drive will help considerably. It's good that you have a passion and that you're able to bike. And I'd dearly love seeing your 'jungle' in person, but the pics will have to suffice. Thanks for sharing. Kat Granlan, Amarillo! Shades of Air Force Tech School and cold winds hitting my legs like needles and a handsome boyfriend from NY and a beloved aunt and uncle from Trent, TX! Thank you for the nice memories. Are you old enough to remember the Pike Amusement Park in Long Beach? Fun memories from there, too. Kat

Thank you for posting this site. It brings back so many memories. Necci in Florida with Lisa Leann was special. She is my daughter and we spent a lot of time at Ft. Christmas and the Space Center.

I've been a member for years. I mostly just read. I'm a mom of three, work part time, and I'm a musician on the side for fun. I'm quiet in a large crowd, fairly anxious in general, my friends call me chop chop, and I have a very healthy sense of humor. I'm also quite opinionated. I like coming here because sometimes I just want my own personal water cooler - I'm quite entertained at times here! :P
