Lilo, please tell us if you come home with a smashing new outfit. The evening sounds like fun and is for a good cause -- even if their vocabulary is faulty. :)

I've actually never seen more than a few episodes of SM. Maybe I should finally get around to watching it. It's hard for me to finish anime series these days b/c I'm never sitting still watching the screen when the TV is on. Okay, idk if anyone has any interest in this topic, but here are my NOIDs as promised. This one looks like balansae to me. I assume a pottsii This one I know is from Epiphytica, not that that narrows it down much. ;) And this is the only one that I created all by my silly self. I stuck a cutting from a plant I was trying to save in my hydro group pot and then didn't tag it because I didn't really think it was going to survive. Well... it did... lol I could probably narrow it down if I looked at the plants that went into my graveyard around 05/2012, but I've been too busy to play detective so far. See? Very pretty little NOIDs, aren't they? I bet yours are just as pretty! And to make up for my un-enthusiastically received topic, I'll slip in some cute pictures of my chickens all semi-grown up. I'm taking them back to the farm this weekend, so these are the last photos I'll be able to take of them for a while. :( I'm going to miss them so much!!! As you can see, Riku is starting to grow the "feather beard" that gives Belgian Bearded d' Anvers their name.

Stanofh right there with ya! I would take the cocos and pamper it to the max. I, being a minnesotan, have seen plenty of malnourished majesties inside churches and other places. I saw 10 palms in a church in a outlying suburb that were dry as a desert, with 1 to 3 plants in a pot, they looked like they havent been watered in weeks. On the verge of death i guess, but hey theyre cheap inexpensive sh*tty palms that dont last a month or 2 in a average household. I have 2 and im already up to my neck in ferting them every damn 2 weeks OR LESS, just to keep them clumsy palms green. Watering is no problem for me, its the growers and the big box stores fault for letting R.rivularis dominate the "indoor plants" market when they shouldve been left to there own in Madagascar. I hate the palms that have fronds that point towards the Moon, that shows that the plant was grown in a dark greenhouse too quickly and is very weak and WILL DIE after about a month and a half or less if given water once a month or week and NO fert. When im a senior in a nursing home,i bet that nursing home will have a majesty or 3!but majesties will still be in big box stores i bet ya when i am 66 years of age. (if im still here on this rapidly warming earth). To answer your question, i HAVE NEVER seen a trunking majesty in MN. People snap these up like hot cakes at HD and Lowes which is sad because all they are buying is a buncha problems. I have never seen a majesty in the trash, though thats were the palms that people bought will soon be :).

I had a frozen chicken pot pie. We had a lot of running to do today and was going to go to our favorite barbecue place, but they had a tour bus there and the line was almost out the door. So we went to Chili's. Jody had chicken fried steak and I just had one of the appetizer plates...where you pick three out of about six choices. I have put off buying groceries for several days and Jody said he was not going to go to bed so early tonight, so when we finished feeding the animals, we went back to town and did the grocery shopping. I still need to buy meat, but I get that at Krogers, so I will do that tomorrow. Anyway, came home and put everything away....then decided to have a chicken pot pie. Marie Callenders. It was okay...not as good as home made, but I didn't have to cook it.
