Thank you Melati, BK and Steve for your help with this. I feel much relief. Steve, I see what you mean (I went back to look at your examples again) and I see the difference between the veins...and the difference in NHL's example as well...the red colour of the "stripes" on the leaves of my plant alarmed me. Sun damage I can deal with....sort of like LiLo's freckles, lol. NHL...so sorry about your RAinforest Sunrise...hopefully your planned treatment will check those nasty nematodes! And preserve your hosta. Jo

George Lopez the comedian has a talk show. He was slamming Kate and he actually started a website "keepkate dot com" He wants people to vote for her JUST because she is so horrible and to keep humiliating her on tv. She is horrible. Even she has to see how bad she is. I read that everyone gets paid a fixed amount, no matter how long they last on the show, so she shouldn't be getting richer the longer she stays. Neicy is very funny!

I, for one, liked the way that Maks was "touchy feely" with Kirstie. Why? Because when a woman is that age and overweight, especially when the woman is famous and used to be stunningly beautiful with a stunningly fabulous body, she would naturally have some issues with feeling a bit out of place or frumpy next to the professional female dancers and the young, thin, and cute celebrity dancers. Kirstie was doing better and better each and every week, and she was also losing weight and inches each and every week. To me, watching Maks be so "loving" towards her, it was like his confirmation to her that she should be proud of herself and her accomplishments and not feel inferior to anyone. It was an affirmation that she is still beautiful and sexy.

i have but will not be going again because of health concerns issued recently on inhaling DHA. Most spray tans only last about a week so if it doesn't look right you have plenty of time to do something else. I use Bare Escentuals self tanner, it comes w a brush applicator, look great w my normally darker skin tone and is easy to use. St Tropez tan is what is used on DWTS and is avail retail, it is supposed to be very good also. ~ liz
