Norma: That's ok. Bunnygirl: Lol, that is my knee. Yes, I did notice the leaves are growing really tight too. They must love the light, and not the snow of course. Josh: Of course you know I am cheating, right? Come in about a month or two, yours should start doing a heck of lot better in the color department! Look forward to that. Thanks;-) Linda: Hello Linda? Are you getting buried anytime soon again? We had our turn last night! Some places here had Hurricane force winds which peaked at 90 miles per hour with 3 inches of snow falling an hour all night..Oh, what a miserably cold winter so far:-( The colors do certainly pick you us which leads to, Marquest: I am happy that I could do that for you. I hope all is ok. It has been a while since I have seen you around! We will always be here to lift you up with everyone's amazing plants all times of the year. Have you seen Tom's thread about flowers this time of year? Very nice! YW Marquest. Cheers everyone. i hope yours start coloring up soon. If Pug wasn't so busy, I bet she would post a few of her beauties..

I'm busy from 3 a.m. until 9 p.m. Even though I'm retired, my whole day is filled with what I laughingly call "make work programs" which contribute to our healthy food sources (sprouting, growing wheatgrass, micro-greens, fermenting, a WindowFarm and an AeroGarden - for off-season indoor gardening), and I spend time researching food and food science on-line and working on lesson plans for classes I teach at different venues (Food Bank, Extension Office, Senior Center, 4-H Clubs, Women's Shelter). I make time each day to knit or crochet and for reading. I participate in two message boards on-line, and that's enough for me. I do bulk food preparation - cook once for many meals - so meals don't take much time to prepare, and our home food storage takes some time each day to make sure I track rotation, use, and inventory. I like to try three new recipes each week and like to try new foods and ingredients. The great outdoors takes a big chunk of time during garden season. At least an hour of exercise 5 mornings a week from 4-5 a.m. - in our basement and/or outdoors. I've finally cut back on my volunteering so I can spend more time at home doing things I enjoy. jemdandy - My last PC was a reconditioned business model and I got it inexpensively through hubby works. NO GAMES!!!! If I want to play solitaire I have to find a deck of cards now..... No more time-sucking "free cell" (LOL), but I did love it so.....

I am missing the last pack from that set and want to give it to my daughter who is in culinary arts now.

Is faxing even possible over the 'bundled or ISP provided VOIP' landlines? On the rare occasion that I have to support fax or modem related issues, the VOIP connection is not what is used, it a line on POTS (plain old telephone service) consisting of twisted pair connections which are compatible with the modem in most fax machines. Chisue, during the insane days preceding our son's wedding, I dropped and broke my cell phone leaving the tux shop. My phone was insured and I had an identical replacement that I only needed to slip my sim card into in 22 hours. I have great service with my cell phone when I am on the phone at home anyway. I have noticed that certain areas have a weaker signal and inside Wal-Mart, I have no signal at all. No idea on security or whether calls can be made during the eclipse. When someone calls and wants to discuss a private matter, I have no issues with stating that I am out in public and will call back when I'm free to talk. Usually, when I am out, I only answer when it's my husband calling or if there is something going on with the kids. Everyone has the option to leave a voice mail.
