the thing about pc's is that you can't read the person's face, and i'm bad about wording!!! REALLY BAD!! and i TRY to put things nicely, but i always feel like i botch it up, i try to be nice and sweet, that's my nature, but on here, there's no, smile, hug, or if you put emphasis on a particular part of a word. and that sucks!! cuz you can totally misconstru up a thing by one word!! and also, sometimes, people are so something or another that they don't take into consideration that at that moment when another person may be biting your head off and being a real yu know what about a trade and you want to say something mean, then they tell you all whats going on, you feel really bad!! that did happen to me!! but i was gone, so i didn't ner say the bad thing i wanted to. but we all have to remeber that other people do have problems too. some just cover it up good!! but of course there are the nasty ones!! errr!! ;')) its just something to consider when we trade. especially this time of the year.

Kevin are you ok? Any one of us would have taken them and probably paid you for them. Don't take your grouchiness out on the orchids. Easy! You are scaring us! All orchids are pretty much mass produced . We know you are the resident phal hater. ;-) The rehabs ranged from Phals to paphs to intergens. Phals are not space hogs. I have really grow to like them. A 17 bulb Deppi or a yard+ of Stanhopea popping growths from every side, that's a hog and pendulant bottom blooms are tough to juggle in an indoor set up. That isn't really my main complaint, space. Like Paul says, over time you develope a taste for specific forms and don't need everything. If I am not enjoying Sharry Baby, why light it? Let someone else enjoy it. I don't think asco's are really fun to grow in z-5. Love them but that's when I lived in z-10. The service is killing me. I feel like I can't leave for a week. Only Carolyn's curvofoilium is easy for me. The bigger ones are too time demanding to keep on track. I am going to begin to get it together. I think I am going to do as Carolyn says, 2 rounds. immediate release and then a 2nd release. Some will make me sad. They have been my buddies. But it's time. Thanks for all the input. Clara

It's a Robin, but it's got the shortest tail I've ever seen!

I have been feeling that way off and on for the last few years and it's getting progressively worse. As a matter of fact when I fell and broke my arm I actually passed out. I saw my doctor yesterday and I started the day with nausea and I was a little light headed when I was in the patient room. She took my blood pressure and said I was in the stroke zone it was so high. I knew my BP problem was an on and off thing, but it had never been this high before. I'm very glad the episode was the day I went in. She gave me two prescriptions which I have fought for years. I have also been seeing big jagged holes when I have these spells. I hope the treatment takes care of the problem.
