Gwen don't feel bad. Katheria you shouldn't either. I wasn't familiar with the rules when I first came here. I was so worried about what I included in my first trade and felt terrible when the person I traded with sent me at least twice the amount that I sent them. lol I just think that many of us that used to post a lot of offers have cut back because of things that have happened such as what Poisondartfrog mentioned. I should have clarified when I said that I was annoyed by those who responded to all offers. I don't understand why someone, not a newbie, would reply to everything that was offered regardless what it was. For a newbie it's a way of building up a stash to use for trade and is understandable but not a member that's been here for long time. The most annoying to me are the people that respond but don't follow thru and it's been happening more and more lately. If you change your mind about an offer just let the person know that you changed your mind and no longer want it. That's no big deal and is just common courtesy. Karen I take the emailing cold as someone asking for plants or seeds that I haven't offered but just talked about in a post. I have no problem if someone asks me where I got something or if I'd be interested in trading. I've occasionally contacted someone regarding a plant they've posted about just because I thought it was interesting. Another thing that bothers me are the people that come here, respond to a bunch of offers then just disappear after they've gotten what they wanted. I see this mainly on plant specific forums. When I post an offer on the brug forum I open it only to people that regularly post. As for trade lists I don't have any posted because there's too many items and it changes too often but I do try to remember to let that be known when I post or respond to an offer. I just reread what I've written. I sound like a bi*ch. lol Really, I'm not : )

I'm getting pretty sick of the flying/crawling creatures. Had a black ant colony inside the wall of the house. Exterminators took care of that, I hope. Had a hornet's nest in a bush, which I have to blindly mower around/under. Sprayed that. Just took down a pair of vinyl shutters to try to seal the bats out, as their droppings were all over the deck below. That had a yellow jacket nest behind it. Sprayed that. My cousin was standing in his lawn yesterday talking, while holding the watering hose, about 10-15 yellow jackets came out of the ground and got him. This time of year, every time I enter an out-building, where I haven't been for a few days, I check for bee activity. I've heard theories on the honey bees, one being, that cell phones and towers are at fault. ?? I have heard, that if you move a bee hive, after they have left, they won't be able find the hive, when they return, if only 10 feet away.

I try not to look at it because everytime I do I think about Kate Batts. I still have little minor flashback freak-outs now and then from the stories my Grandparents told me about the Bell Witch when I was six! Grandad farmed the old Bell place back in the 40's & 50's. I've always had an interest in the stories but sometimes a visual throws me back to pre-pubescence. So...... I HATE THAT STUPID PICTURE!!! Yes, we did have a thread about her last year of the year before. It's offical, nobody likes it! I think I even emailed Spike about her. Every other Forum has nice pictures and we get stuck with evil creepy chick. I never got a reply.

Interesting question. I've been debating whether to get rid of mine or keep it. I like it because you can really see yourself in a big area. I dislike it because it's not very stylish, IMO. That said, I would like to introduce you all to a young lady who obviously loves hers. In this short little video, she demonstrates for us exactly how those mirrors should be used. My favorite comment someone made -- the comment that made me laugh out loud, is "No wonder she's so happy. She has a pink bathtub!" What do you think? Here is a link that might be useful: Jessica's
