Hey, maybe if we just do a new thread in both places, as "Spring Plant Trade 2013". Copy everything absultely pertinent to the event and go from there. I read some were unclear about it if they were not following it from the winter. GGG- I am told I am doing better than 99% of people who have this surgery, I am 'younger than most', healthy and active enough, the Ptherapist said he could they would have to put a bit in my mouth to hold me back. Almost, it is hard to keep me down, and I may be pushing it a bit. Mine is called a long segment fusion, illeac fixation, then from sacrum to T10. I also have a C5, 6 , 7 fusion that is over 15 years old. This surgery was a long time coming, the objective was a complete reconstuctive correction because of scoliosis, the spina bifida had caused a lot of my problems for 35 years, but the spine was collapsing, causing all the stenosis and nerve compression. Many problems, symptoms, affecting my whole lower body from armpits down. It was a tough pill to swallow, but it was not hard to decide to do it, the other options meant not walking, etc, eventually losing all function of my lower body. I was going to email you, but didn't see the option, hope your back doing better, maybe it would be best for just a smaller group. I would still be in, and have a friend who loves to trade, etc. she is just not active here. It is up to you entirely. I have been here about everyday, I'll keep checking in. :-)

Hi Pat, You don't have private messaging enabled on GardenWeb, so I can't PM you. Send me your email address to SkybirdDEN@gmail.com, and I'll send you the information in the morning. I'm going to bed now! You're not on the mailing list already, are you? Does your last name start with E? That's the only Pat I have down so far. I'll check for your email in the morning, Skybird

Don't turn your back on those of us who have been doing this awhile. We WILL stick plants under your table, in your wagon or in your car if given a chance. Heck, we even pawn, I mean, donate them to people walking through the park. Tally HO!

I bet some people would have no problem telling GW to "stick it". I almost feel like I am ok with a welcome sticky that periodically sinks. We have a board sticky now that has stayed very close to the very top for 18 days. That is king of the hill to me. I think we already own the high ground without GW sanction. If we were NYC police we would not be arresting anybody or writing any tickets. It feels more: of the people. I'm happy with it. If it, our flag, ever sinks, you or anybody can repost the exact same or same with updates. I guess we can tell if it is working by people's first posts showing they have a working knowledge of vermicomposting or at least know, I don't know, anything about the subject, thus getting a better first question so we can actually help them a lot quicker and more effectively. A GW sanctioned sticky is now starting to feel like GW is from New Jersey and a sanctioned sticky (only one allowed!?!?) is starting to feel like cement overshoes.
