You betcha Pam. I just wanted to give it a year or so to get situated before I started hacking at it lol. Hopefully I'll bring some to share next spring and you'll be first on the list. I also had a lovely dark and light blue bearded Iris called Congratulations that I moved 1 or 2 years ago and have managed to lose track of it. It hasn't bloomed since the move and I'd love to know which clump it is. It was gorgeous and I remember someone from here saw a pic and said they wanted some. This is from a couple of years ago: I'm like you, I also like pointing out to people what I got in trades too as well as clearance plants. Most are very surprised this kind of plant trading goes on and want to know more about it. Danielle

I HIGHLY recommend swapping. For the cost of a pre-paid box (or send Priority, which is generally cheaper), you can get a bunch of Hosta you've had on your wish-list, and a few you wouldn't have thought of. I figure, if someone has a hosta that they have available to swap, it's probably a good grower, and has obviously not died, so it should be a good one to try! lol Like my scientific reasoning? ;)

Well I called Bellsouth and boy am I fuming over this! First a technical note: when you upload pics to a website, that uses bandwidth. When you upload a LOT of pics to a website, and then download others off the website to make room, so you don't exceed your 10 megs of free space, that uses a LOT of bandwidth. They told me that, bascially, I moved too much information around last night so I'm being penalized. They have blocked my site for 24 hrs. and there is NOTHING I can do about it. So, tonight, at 4am, if I want to I can move pics around again and you should be able to see my site from that point forward. The things that make me angriest are: 1) There is no way for me to tell how much storage space I have used up. (I get only 10 megs - who knows how much I have used?) 2) NO WHERE on the Bellsouth personal web pages site can I find ANY reference to this ridiculous "bandwidth" policy! And neither could the Customer Service Rep! If I had known they had a policy about moving large quantities of data, I would have made sure to "dribble" it up there over a few days' time! ARRGGH! So tune in tomorrow and perhaps my pics will show then. -Regina

oh diana, i'm so glad you got a camera. i certainly learned for next time to always take pictures. barnomom...more than three? the cruets are one piece, the pitcher and glasses a REAL set and the napkins are the third item. the mag certainly does not count as a swap item. funny that you mention "more than three" is to this swap box and not a comment to some of the others. i must be missing something. diana, enjoy it all. i absolutely loved each item i sent to you and certainly hope you will for quite some time to come. maryanne p.s. michelle, nice dog outfit. you are obsessed with those skeletons LOLOL
