Thanks again, all you "holics"!! I'm just going to have to toss a coin when I get to the sale, I guess! I think I will really try to get the "Titanic" for sure, because my large barrel of "Sum of All" is just pathetic after the "fake-out" Spring we had. I didn't lose it or count it in my losses but it sure looks bad. I'm thinking to replace SOA with "Titanic", since it is thought to be the best of the sports of S&S! Of course, I will divide it to be sure I have some of it if we have another premature Spring in the next few years. I do have a spot in a raised bed around our deck that will accomodate it, since removing one of my "Francee" and putting "Gunsmoke" in another location! Thank you all, for your great advice! It's hopeless isn't it--there will never be many hosta we will be able to pass up if we have the wherewithal to acquire them!!! janice

Great pictures, Jim. Many thanks. Tomorrow or the day after, your Salvia 'Imelda' will have its first flowers........cannot wait! I am now the proud possessor of S. 'Wendy's Wish'...many buds already, am getting very excited about this! (Best not to ask how I obtained it!!!) Robin.

Thanks Sylvia and Sally, This is a large organization that I know does do a lot of good. Apparently, they do more in the area they accustomed to working in. I can understand if they don't have members in our area and the volunteers are reluctant (or whiney) about the drive. We won't be requesting a refund or publicizing this because we don't want to harm the good they are doing elsewhere. The lady (Judy, a volunteer from the organization) who came when we rounded up the kittens a month or so ago came today and picked up Cookies. He will be tested for leukemia and feline aids then vaccinated and, a little later, neutered. During this time he will be living with a foster mom. Then he will go with the rest of the kittens to a PetSmart in Richardson. Adopters must agree that the cats will be indoor cats and that if for some reason, at any time things are not working out, the cat must be returned to the organization and not just given away or "thrown" out. I understand that the adoption fee at PS is around 125.00. Hopefully if someone is going to pay that much for a cat, they will give it a wonderful home (considering the number of free kitten ads they could have chosen from). I told myself I wouldn't do it, but I cried. Just couldn't help it and can't help it now. Barb, Candy and I discussed this morning with Judy the possibilities of us doing it all on our own. She volunteered her help and traps and we will be contacting the organization to get their approval which we will need in order to work with the local veterinarian (free spaying and neutering) and our local PetSmart who won't accept animals from individuals. Anyhow, thanks all for your advice and help. I know Cookies will be fine and find a great home, but I need a tissue right now. Take care, Kristi

My question is, is this new formula like the older ColorGuard formula (which I really liked), or is it different? Does anyone know??? Until I find out for sure, I'll stick to buying Tide TotalCare HE for our nice office/church clothes and fine washables. It actually does a better job on such laundry than any other detergent I've used, even Woolite.
