I bought a Roomba 535 model through Home Shopping Network's website. The delivery was FREE, and their price is $249. And they have a 30-day no hassle return policy if you don't like it. Since I was a first time buyer at HSN, I used a coupon that I found on the internet. The coupon code is C56574 - and it's valid for 15% off your entire purchase if you are a first time shopper at HSN.com. I enterd the code at the checkout, and sure enough it worked. HSN also offers a two year warranty BEYOND the manufacturer's warranty (making 3 years of coverage) for about $30. So it's possible to get a new model Roomba for $211 delivered, or under $250 with a 3-year warranty.

We are buying a leather couch too. I did a search on GardenWeb and found a great discussion, including brands, retailers, types of leather, and price.

The posts are from 2006, but there is some good information in there. Good luck!

Why is it blooming to it's death? It looks healthy to me. All the flowers will die but the plant shouldn't! I have two cacti and one almost died so how much water do you give a cacti? Your flowers are beautiful though! You most be a really good plant owner to have the plant looking so healthy. Do you have any tips for care with cacti because I'm a little clueless.

I I might also leave them with Matt to care for until you can pick them up. They will continue to grow in his greenhouse and develop bigger roots. I generally grow his up in pots anyway. Although I know you are nearby another option might be for him to mail them at the time you want them. They are small and light and I know it wasn't that expensive for me to have six of them shipped last year.
