Chris, NICE job!!! Can you take a pic of the whole tree? Anirbn, My mom fell and hurt herself badly after she got out from a week in the hospital, so I totally forgot too. My bad. It started getting lighter in coloring..It was loosing it's vivid green look because the temps have gotten so cold. But I stuck it in the house and it seems to be coloring up again/. I will take a pic tomorrow..) I have been trying to grow it Bonsai style since I don't need it to be big and take up room. So it's pretty small..

Zowie, Patti, it does sound like you have yourself a pretty full plate of emotional overload at this point. It's too bad we humans don't come equipped with some kind of emotional circuit breaker, so, like your house electrical system, when we get overloaded, it just trips and suddenly all those powerful feelings just wash away. When we're ready to face it again, say after a good night's rest, we just grit our teeth and flip the switch back to ON. Maybe you could just imagine one? Probably wouldn't help much though, huh? I'm so glad to hear from you again. Hang in there, kiddo. ThinMan

Message: Sandi, Thrill of the Hunt is on the same street that the mall is on(not Mayfair mall), but you take a left, instead of a right~it's on the left hand side, about two blocks down. I know exactly where Leland is! Isn't that where the new Walmart is being built along with several other retail businesses, and where most of the new housing is? The fudge is at the big antique store, the one on the corner~Burgaw Antiques? The lady who owns the store makes the fudge, and it's the best i've *ever* had! You can see the counter as soon as you walk in the store~~it would be over to the left side. Get some for Valentine's Day! LOL I met another gal on a forum who runs a business downtownn~actually it's 4 people who have a 'workspace' together. She does the upholstering, and sews home decor items(pillows, tablecloths, etc.). A man who does trim work/carpentry, a faux finisher, and a cabinet maker, are the other workers. The 'workspace'(not retail shop), is called Abracadabra. I hope to look Judi up when i'm there next time, and see the workmanship that goes on there. I'n finding the internet to be an interesting place. ;o) I'm thinking the street you take to the fabric store is Wilshire, but it's not on Wilshire. patty_cakes

Glenda, Glad to hear that you had a great day. What no dressing- Carol must NOT be from around here. LOL Believe it or not - yesterday AM at 9:30 or so when we came down 65 up above Gardendale there were 20 or so people all ready waiting in line at the new Best Buy there. Someone had even put up a little pop-up tent on the sidewalk. On the way home last night the line looked to be twice as long. Don't know if they all got what they were waiting for, but I hope it was worth it. Sure wouldn't have been to me. I honked real LOUD! LOL
