If you have scale you have ants. Ants farm the scale. They bring it to the plant and eat the secretions. Systemic poison like orthene helps. Work on getting rid of the ants.

Hi Raven! I've missed you on the computer help forum and decided to do a "search" for you! :) Here you are taking a break and enjoying the beach. How absolutely wonderful! Congratulations on your birthday and anniversary. Each day is a gift from God...

Mom is healing well where they did the hip replacement and doing well in her therapy, walking better every day with the rolling walker. She is very upset that she will not be able to go back home, she gets really angry and takes it out on my sisters and the nurses, we are hoping that she will settle in and start to like the place and the people there. They are all very very nice and it is an excellent facility. She just really thought she would be going back home and so did we! If her memory and mental aspects would start to improve she would be able to, the doctor is just afraid she can not remember the do's and don'ts and to take her meds. She does not cook so there is no worry there but of course she could fall again. She had planned on coming here to my house at Christmas to spend some time here, she was already packed, it is very sad that she is not able to do that now. At 89 I think she is making very good progress. And once she makes friends hopefully she will begin to like it there. thanks everyone!

Thanks for the information, Raven. I access at the library, and when the library address shows up, I just click on it and type in "www.yahoo.com" and it takes me to "Yahoo", then I click on the email symbol. The one address is the username that I chose, and ".com", as I got it a long time ago, but the more recent one has my chosen username, then ".ca", as I'm in Canada. I set up a gmail address a long time ago, at my son's suggestion ... but not long after that forgot my password (being rather forgetful, even back then), so it's been sitting unused for years. ole joyful
