Thanks for trying to educate us about this. I know first hand what can happen. I have been growing water plants for several years. But I also have a lake on my property. It has been invaded with 4 leafed clover that was brought in (we assume) on the feet of the Canadian Geese or Prairie Geese that are EVERYWHERE these days. It has completely covered all banks of our lake. No one seems to know how to rid us of it. The Extension Service is at a loss. We want to maintain our large mouth bass, but we may have to sacrifice them to stop the spread. You don't have to go dump it in a river. The geese and Fishermen( who go from state to state for tournaments and bring plants on their boats and motors)and other water birds can bring it right to your DOOR !!!! Thanks again.

Heck yea, you can come. It's easy to find. Jolana's coming too. I'll give you some plants to trade if you want some. Gardening books are great to trade too. I also have lots of plants you can take home. Our plant swap is the best one around.

I've been battleing joint pain, fatigue and extreme vaginal dryness for some time now and I stumbled across a site for women that sounded interesting. I passed it along to one of my daughters who was beginning to complain of the same things and she's only 44. Turns out she had seen the Dr. who started this clinic on TV some time back and had been very impressed with all she had to say, so she decided to try their program. Well, she felt so much better in just a couple of weeks that I decided to investigate it for my self. Now, I'm 70 so menopause for me started 20 years ago, so I didn't expect so see much improvement, but have been pleasantly surprised after just 4 weeks on the program. Basically it is a supplement program along with encouragement for proper diet and exercise. I still have some stiffness but the degree of pain is much less, I seem to have more energy and drive. Haven't lost any weight but hopefully I will lose a few pounds eventually. Anyway, here's the web site if any of you gals would like to check it out. I don't consider it cheap but if it continues to work for me, I'll figure it is worth it. I don't usually pass stuff along after only this short a time of trying it, but it does seem to be working for me and they offer a refund after 90 days if you're not satisfied. At my age I don't really expect to feel like 20 again, but will happily take all the help that works. Here is a link that might be useful: Women to Women

That is a sweet thing you did for your daughter. It must be hard to give up (for you, I mean). I hope you have a picture of the two of you in it! Now I'm going to have the Thinking Chair song in my head all evening. :)
