Fire ants make mounds and not holes. The mounds start out small and become larger as the colony population increases. These mounds look rather innocent until you disturb them, and ALL of the ants boil out of the mound all at once. Again, there is never a discernible hole. I never worry about ants in my yard and garden, other than fire ants. Fire ants can be a problem for humans, pets, bird nests, beneficial insect eggs and larvae, and such.

One of my good friends is on Twitter, I guess her kids do it a lot, and she got me to join. Now I can't remember my password, so that was that. The problem I have with all those social networking sites is you have to have time to post on them, and you have to have something to say. Well, I sometimes don't have time to eat and sleep, so you can forget Tweeting. Plus I don't have much interesting to say these days. Sometimes I have interesting experiences, but I'm usually to exhausted to write about them. Someday, if my life ever slows down, I would like to blog or do Facebook or something like that, but who knows when that day will come. I spent a lot of time messing around with MySpace and then finally decided it was a big "so what." I don't want to blast or "pimp" my site and I don't want to keep it up, so it is a little oasis in cyberspace that no one visits. I'm not even sure how to add friends on it. I did it once but I just can't remember these things from day to day. I am so privacy oriented, I'm really wary of these things. I can keep up good enough with folks via e-mail. Frankly I'd rather be with people ACTUALLY so much more than virtually. Even the folks I am separated from by distance, I'd just as soon call or e-mail them.

Nope Lyndsey but only because I do not nor have I ever twittered.....:) AH HA! There IS a twitter scam! I tried to access this Twitter account but of course, did not remember my password. Sounds like it's a good thing I did not access my account..not that there is anything in it... Lori Here is a link that might be useful: Twitter Scam

Getting Emails Sent To You...3-step Process There are three things you have to do to get emails sent to you when someone posts to a thread you started: Be sure you have a valid/current email address in your profile Again in your profile, be sure you have the "Allow other users to send you email via forms at our site." box checked (at the bottom of the profile page) Be sure to check the box labeled "Check here if you would like copies of follow-ups to your message emailed to you" when you submit your post. (Below the "Message" box) Hmmm...maybe a 4th step...don't forget to "Save Your Member Profile" when you make changes! (button at bottom of profile page) If you do all 3 (or 4!) things, you should get an email when someone posts to your message. Note: Some members have said they still have problems getting emails. I seem to always get emails, but I have noticed that occasionally there will be a several hour delay and once there was a several day delay...I don't know why. Also, check your Junk Mail, sometimes the emails end up there. Add "gardenweb_user@gardenweb.com" to your "safe senders" list as well. If you still don't get emails, check with your internet service provider and be sure emails from GW are not being filtered out as junk before they get to you.
