A and B. You are correct. C. I agree that it's a holly. Burfordii has one sticker on the tip, could be another kind of holly too. The straight burfordii (will get really big) bears berries on the outside ends of stems. The dwarf one (tops out at about 6 feet or so) bears them on the inner stems. D. Looks like azalea to me. Could be suffering from not enough water, too much light or some kind of disease or insect - or could be okay. Keep it watered, keep an eye on it, and don't prune it at all until right after it blooms. (Then you have one month to do so without losing blooms.) Welcome to the south! You really ought to get a Southern Living Garden Book. It will give you basic info on all these plants and thousands more. Once you get over the shock of what you cannot have here, you're going to be very excited about all the gorgeous things you can grow here! I transplanted to the deep south from Indiana more than 20 years ago. You'll love it here, especially WINTER.

SE - I will definitely enjoy the garage and now I can enjoy the basement too, since we will store all our crap in the garage. coldnose - our home is 2025 sqft + about another 800 in walk-out basement. My experience with the panelized package is both good and only OK. Good - lumber was awesome awesome quality. Got the package from farwesthomes, who own their own mill. I have some large beams and posts. Walls went up fast and were square. We had a gable wall (31' peek) with picture windows that went up in a day, my carpenters said it would have taken them over a week to stick build. Lots of left over lumber from packaging (and miscommunication about walkout basement). Price was with-in 10K of other lumber yard quotes (Meeks, 84, Moss Lumber). Able to make custom plans, change their stock plans, use stock plans. The only OK - Still have to stick build floors. not huge deal. Had two miss cuts in posts where beams were to slide in. We fixed it fairly simple, but it took a few hours of head scratching. Had to get engineering separately and then have farwest build plans. Some miss communication between engineer and farwest. It would have been nice if they had an in-house engineer. I was/am not happy with my engineer. Roof rafters suck. Took a month to stick frame the roof. Mislead on difficulty of the whole thing. We were told it would be about 6 weeks to get the whole thing shelled-in. Perhaps with a crew of 10, it took us over double that with a crew of 3-4. No room for play. The walls come square, if your foundation is a little off, you cannot "fudge" the walls. Lay-out (16" on center) gets screwed up do to how the panels fit together. Not a huge deal, but slows you down during siding. All in all, i am happy with it. If I ever do this again, I may or may not use it again. Definitely not pissed or stoked about the whole thing. I am about due for more pictures. We just had a framing pre-inspection today (we were not ready with elect or fire sprinklers). She could not find one thing wrong and was really impressed. We are wrapping up elect on friday and sprinklers go in over the weekend. We will get framing, plumbing, elect inspection on monday. Insulation next week and then sheetrock end of next week and weekend. 12 hour days are getting old. I start summer school on monday. that should be fun.

My DH and I are seniors also and we got our wii fit plus for Christmas. We really love it! I think you can actually try it at places like Walmart and Best Buy. At first I thought I wouldn't like the 'cartoon' like mii people, but it sort of makes it more fun. There is yoga, strength, aerobics, balance, and some really silly but fun things to do. You can flap your arms like a chicken and land on different posts until you land on a ship. Yes, it's silly but you are moving your arms. Another game is step aerobics with a line of other mii people. The Hoola Hoop is fun and works your waist. There is jogging through the little mii town. A punching bag game to work your arms. There is a bicycle exercise (you step as if you are on a bicycle).My favorite game is the Obstacle Course that has you running, jumping and dodging objects. And oh so much more. You can do a mix of whatever you feel like doing. I do about 30 minutes nearly every day. You will need wii fit plus, the console to play it, and a balance board. It is a fixed price of about $300, but if you shop around you may find a store offering a bonus of a gift card or something extra. It is definately a good investment. And if you have children or grandkids over, they can do the exercises also because they are so much fun. You can go to nintendo wii online and see real people including us 'more mature people' doing the exercises. Go for it! Linda Leaf

Everyone buys new component cables for the wii because the ones it comes with are not suitable for the newer TV's. They are not HDMI. the graphics will be VERY poor if you do not get cables. I also believe that there is little difference in 5 dollar and 30 dollar cables. The largest difference is the brand name posted on it. As far as your picture looking good on the TV, I am not sure. The wii isn't made to have stunning graphics it is just for fun (and it sure is fun! We have had one for 2 yrs now) I would not let that deter you from getting one. We have a 42 inch screen and it doesn't bother me. Actually your tv would be GREAT for multi-player games where you split up the screen into 4. -rj
