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

Randy, Yes, they're all in shorts, too. We're on a little less than an acre, but I have a whole hillside (667 m tall or so) of public land that I live out do my Druidic tendencies, but the coyotes generally drown out my howls. Of course, with a black bear (who is very caramel in fur hue) also making walking a little interesting, I've cut that bit back. I do walk with the smaller of my two digging bars. Discretion from an Adenium grower? I'd heard that that existed... And I thank my country for the opportunity to have served. However, I was never shot at, so that might colour my thinking. I wouldn't say enjoying swimming is a fetish, would you? Now enjoying swimming in Jello might get one marked as a bit of a perv. What sort of Cyphostemmas do you grow? I've found the additions of large amounts of manure to the potting soil to be most efficacious. What say you? It's overcast here today - a good day to not be writing wind farm operations reports but acceptable nonetheless. Brg, jh

Linda, here is some of my initial research, which I hope helps. You remember I am the dumb one that uses Mexican vanilla and can't paste a link....lol Email me or call me if you need the statutes this applies. Karen, Annie, Jessica, May, AnnT all have my phone info. Go get 'em!!!!! " Minnesota Used Car Warranty Law Minnesota has one of the strongest Used Car Warranty Laws in the country. The Minnesota Used Car Warranty Law requires that Minnesota used car dealers provide basic warranty coverage for most used cars and small trucks sold in Minnesota. Automobiles Covered To be covered, a car or small truck must be purchased primarily for personal or household use. The terms and length of the warranty depend on the car's mileage when purchased. For cars with fewer than 36,000 miles, the warranty applies for 60 days or 2500 miles, whichever comes first. Parts covered under the warranty for these cars include: * Engine * Transmission * Drive axle * Brakes * Steering * Water pump * Externally-mounted mechanical fuel pump * Radiator * Alternator, generator, and starter For cars with between 36,000 and 75,000 miles, the warranty applies for 30 days or 1000 miles, whichever comes first. For cars in this category all of the parts listed above are covered except: * Steering rack * Radiator * Alternator, generator, and starter Automobiles Excluded The following vehicles are excluded from coverage: * Cars with 75,000 miles or more * Cars sold for less than $3000 * Custom-built or custom-modified cars * Cars eight years of age or older * Cars purchased primarily for use in a business or farm * Vehicles with gross vehicle weight above 9000 pounds * Vehicles manufactured in very small quantities * Vehicles not meeting federal emission standards * Diesel engine cars Warranty If a part covered by the used car warranty malfunctions during the warranty period, the dealer must repair or replace the part at no charge to the buyer. The buyer must promptly notify the dealer and arrange for the automobile to be taken to the dealer for inspection and repair. The dealer has the choice to correct the defective part or to refund the purchase price of the vehicle minus a reasonable deduction for use of the vehicle. The buyer does not have the right to demand a refund. If a part is repaired under the warranty, the warranty for that part is extended for an additional warranty period. The warranty does not cover any problems if: * Problem is the result of normal wear and tear. * Problems result from collision, abuse, negligence, or lack of adequate maintenance. * Part is covered by an original factory warranty. * Manufacturer agrees to repair the part at no charge. If the dealer refuses to fix a problem covered by the warranty, the buyer can bring a lawsuit against the dealer within one year after the warranty expires. The consumer may bring this action in Conciliation Court, where procedures are relatively informal and the consumer need not be represented by an attorney. A consumer can waive the warranty for a specific part if the dealer discloses in writing that the part has a defect, malfunction, or repair problem and the buyer circles the statement and signs next to it. Warranty Providers The warranty described above applies only if the consumer buys from a used car dealer. Anyone in the business of selling used cars who sells more than five used cars a year is considered a dealer and is required to get a license from the state. If someone sells more than five used cars a year but does not get a license from the state, they are still considered a dealer even though unlicensed. The warranty does not apply if the consumer buys a used car from: * His or her employer * A bank or other financial institution * A company that previously leased the car to the consumer * Any branch of the state, a county, or a city in Minnesota * An auctioneer selling the car in connection with the sale of other property or land "

LOL I haven't done that one. But I practically always will turn on a light switch when the power is off. Once I was at my mothers and her uncle and aunt were coming. We had a power outage, he had health problems, and I wanted the house to be nice and warm for them. So....I lined the back of the fireplace with aluminum foil to reflect the heat. It took me quite a while to do the job, got done and then took us a while to find the fan (to blow the heat out into the room) and then went to plug the fan in when it hit.....DUH....there IS no power. We about laughed ourselves silly. I probably spent 30 minutes on that project. LOL
