No Zucchini seeds requested here Signet. I am waiting for the Choke Cherry bushes to flower... set seed ..... so I can send them to you...:):) Faye in N.S.

it was the most mighty gremlin of them all who deemed the thread off topic for this forum :-) You all were so nice that I came back this morning to look around and found this discussion. I fly out next month. I saved your good information in my email. I grew up in Wyoming, so the Paul Bunyan reference is a mystery that I will certainly check out. thanks again jc ~laughing~ if this one disappears too, the original poster will get an email from spkie explaining "why"

boop--a fellow Dr. Who fan! Who knew? ;) I'm glad my post found an understanding soul :) Hm, the new Dr. is a topic of much discussion at our house. We love David Tennant inordinately -- did you see his Hamlet? At least twice or three times an episode we find ourselves screaming at Matt Smith, "lift your head up!" I can understand why they cast him physically--he's the complete opposite facially of the birdlike Mr. Tennant--his features are broad and soft...but the hair, man. It's a big problem. And the head down thing just bugs us so much. The writing is by a different person this season, too. The Doctor makes mistakes, loses his cool; actually, his companion (Amy Pond, whom I like but not everyone does) ends up coming up with the solution to the problem more often than not. He's fallible!! I remember back in some of the very first Dr. Who episodes we watched online, the Doctor was tetchy and short tempered--a different character altogether from David T. This Doctor seems to fit into that kind of lineage--he's much more isolated and sad, IMO -- less of the ecstatic 'be magnificent' inspirational talk that David T. used to do, iykwim - it comes up every so often, but not the same way. And the way Matt talks even bugs me -- it's like he talks with the front of his lips and you hear every little 'p' or 'b' he makes. yuck. Do you know what I mean? What do you think of him? All that said, I have to admit that he did a superb job on the VanGogh episode, possibly better than DT could have, because of that tendency toward introspection. I'd love to know what you think of this episode. Some folks thought it was saccharine; I didn't. I thought it earned all its bittersweetness honestly. I haven't been able to bring myself to watch Torchwood yet at all. Definitely not w/DD, from what I've read of it. Yes?

Lukki, you don't want to be notified when someone messages you? What, are you anti-social? :P Yes, Cindy, I noticed that about the conversational emails. When I reply, I never know if the recipient got it or just didn't reply. I really don't want a thread letting people know they've been messaged. I want them to fix it, so I'll contact Houzz, but they need to look at it system-wide. That's why I wanted to see how many were affected.
