Nice new finds! I'm a fresh addict too. The only advice I would give is to make sure the ones that are grouped together have similar living habits (sun, water, temperature), because that was the cause of the death of your pleiospilos nelii. Other than that, enjoy your new babies! Here is a link that might be useful: My windowsill plants

Ya know they got doctors that can help with obsessions - fortunately this one is a healthy one. Nah - it ain't too awful bad freezing cold up here right now. About 35 or so at night and we have seen a couple of 70 degree days already. Spinach is looking good. Cabbage too. No carrots up yet - but since I just finished up last season's crop, I ain't too anxious about them - yet. Kind of hard to try and keep track of everything at this time of the year. Got the mulch pulled back so the ground will warm up. Steadily planting the cool weather crops and killing off the cool weather weeds. Tomato stakes are driven and ready to go. Cucumber trellis is ready. Blackberries are all pruned, tied up, and ready for the demon child from next door to raid. Already have two dump-truck loads of horse manure/straw ready to compost and go into my last bed (as soon as I double dig it that is). I should have had it ready last fall - but since I already grow more than I can possibly eat, I am in no rush. Might have to join one of those dating sites to find me a nice hungry female so I don't have to wander up and down the streets trying to give away free vegetables. And I STILL have to get all the canning equipment ready to go! Unfortunately it is in the shed. And the shed is buried under the elm tree that I STILL haven't cleaned up from the ice storm. *Chuckles to self* It just occurred to me - I am a real hellion full of all kinds of interesting qualities that ANY female in the world would be proud to snatch up. I can just see how it would go on THAT dating site: Q) What are your hobbies? A) Digging big rocks out of my garden. Q) What do you do in your spare time? A) Think about ways to get that big rock out of the garden, and look for sources of compost and mulch. Q) What qualities do you look for in a woman. A) She has to be strong - cuz she's gonna help me dig that big rock out of the garden. Oh yeah, I'm a real catch.

Thanks for posting Kath. I don't think anything will happen at my end. It's way more that vertigo problems. Spending to much time in the bathroom.... the big D problem. Moni

I read that it is legal to download as long as I am not selling it, playing the song at any place where you would normally pay someone to play a song- such as a wedding, big party... It is confusing... Nope - your not getting legal downloads. If a song has a copyright (and nearly all do) you cannot download, even for personal use. Tally- I DID buy Limewire- $35 for a year. You paid $35 for the LimeWire Pro SOFTWARE - that does not make any music downloads legal - it is confusing - but you actually got ripped off if you think you are safe from prosecution by downloading from them. Their own site states that - although you really have to search for it. When you sign up with LimeWire - one of the things you agree too (if you actually read EVERYTHING - is that you will not download copyright material. This is from Limewire: "LimeWire Users The program distributed by Lime Wire, "LimeWire BASIC and LimeWire PRO", is legal software, but like many legal things, it is possible to use it in illegal ways. Specifically, it is illegal for you to use LimeWire to share, distribute or download (all of which we call sharing) copyrighted files without permission, or to share unlawful pornographic materials.

If you recorded your own original song - and wanted to share it with others, so that they could download it - that is legal. Downloading of copywritten material - not legal. I also bought a couple iTunes, but now can't download them to the mp3- even the computer tech can't- so maybe iTunes isn't the place to buy songs from?? iTunes works with iPods - Apples to Apples if you have a different type of MP3 player - you need to use somewhere else for your downloads. WalMart.com has lots, and there are many other legal sites. If you choose to use an illegal d/l site - that is your choice, but you should be correctly informed going into it. Don't fool yourself into thinking LimeWire, KaZaa or others like that are legal. Read EVERYTHING when you are getting music from a site. It is a $$ fine when you get caught - several thousand dollars.
