The EarthTainer 3 Guide is being written at the moment, and I plan to publish it by Feb. 1. Regarding the cage system, here is the Link to the correct Pea Fence at Gurney's. http://gurneys.com/pea-fence/p/12826/ It is actually 6 sections, each 14 inches long (their description is wrong - 7 ft. not 8 ft.) but the 6 panels form a nice rectangular fit along the outer edge of the EarthTainer rim. I use Wire Rope Clips to secure the ends of the cage together: The cage system folds up for storage at the end of the Season: Raybo Here is a link that might be useful: Gurney's Pea Fence

Interesting site, Ruthie. Doesn't appear to be a lot of coupons there at the moment I would use for my regular weekly shopping, and I didn't read the fine print anyway to see if they are valid in Canada. A few things of interest I did notice: Coupon for Truvia on pg 6 for those of you that have been wanting to try Stevia as a Sweetener. Couple of coupons for $1 and $2 off Aleve. The prescription coupon Ruthie refers to is on pg 7. Some cute things for Valentine's or any day gifts on pg 16 - Red Envelope dot com - really sweet frog prince chocolates and other items... Definitely want to go back and look closer at that site when I have more time. Thanks, Ruthie! Suzan J

I had a message on here (or was it "Household Finance" a while ago about why I don't like earning interest. The size of the pot doesn't increase. If I buy quality stocks, I expect there to be a good possibility that the price on most of them may rise, given time, and I don't need the money right away. Something over 35 years ago I bought stocks at $4.00+ (possibly $2.00+) per share and I can sell them now for $75.00 more or less, depending on the day or week. I don't need to answer to the Canada Revenue Agency till I either sell them (or die) - neither of which I plan to do this week or next. Since the $10,000. I might have loaned to the bank 15 years ago on a 5-year certificate that I later renewed twice will only pay me $10,000. when I redeem it, I have a problem. That $10,000. would have bought me a decent car, 15 years ago - not now. In 1947 my Dad bought a new Ford Monarch for $1,600. So I need to add part of my current interest earnings to the pot in order to maintain its purchasing power. Usually, the amount that dollar-denominated money earns doesn't change much, either - interest rates have stayed fairly stable. But the dividends that the bank paid on their stock that I bought was about 6 cents or a dime, 37 years ago - but a few years ago advanced from 80 cents to 90 cents, then $1.00, later $1.24, $1.48, $1.64 - and now are $2.40 per share. In Canada, I've paid a lower tax rate on that type of income for many years - and the government just anounced that they're going to make the tax rate lower. Plus - I have to pay top rate of tax on interest income. Also, the only return that I can expect on dollar-denominated asset is earned now - and taxed now, in addition to being taxed at the top rate. I prefer to let that increase in value develop in solid stocks, and not pay tax on it till I sell it. And then at a lower rate. Have a great week, everyone. ole joyful
