Hi Melissa! By Saturday evening, we only had about 2 1/2 inches, but by Sunday morning, the rain gauge had overflowed! And I'm pretty sure that if I'd been able to have dumped it when it got full, it would have filled up again. Then another 3/4 inch on Sunday.... Our next door neighbor has rolls of carpet out on the driveway, and several people I work with in Rochester had flooded basements. We got lucky... kinda... well, actually we just got it out of the way 3-4 years earlier. Our entire basement flooded that year, on Memorial day, and we ripped out shrubs, tiled the west side, and put in new gutters and a new heavy duty sump pump. So, this time we did have a little water come in the bathroom window, but it barely got the edge of the hallway carpet at the bathroom door wet. The Red Cross was going door to door to assess damages yesterday. It's been quite an experience. And I know what you mean about hostas to go in the ground. Actually, I've just made the deal to buy a house in Rochester, and I've got pots of hostas that I've been putting off planting because I knew I'd be having a new place to plant them.

Hi everyone, Sorry I've ebeen AWOL for awhile. Spring is always such a busy time. I've been trying to get the yard & gardens cleaned up. DH is expecting to start a new job in a couple of weeks, its suppose to pay about twice as much. He'll be driving OTR again with only one day home per week so we're trying to get stuff here taken care of beforehand (building GH, fixing stuff, etc).He gave his current job his 2 wk notice just 2 days ago and they called today letting him go (on his day off)! Now we're really hoping the new job is as good as it sounds!! I got the last of my WS potted yesterday. Out of 160+ jugs there were only about 15-20 that didn't sprout...not bad I guess for my first WS attempt. I'm waiting for my BIL to till my new gardens so I can plant stuff...alot of my potted seedlings have bloomed! Bluebonnets, Lacy Phacelia, and Nasturtiums of every color! I hope they're still blooming by the time I get them in the gardens! Kym, thanks for sending the May list in advance! At least I won't get behind on that! LOL I'm fine with recieving emails from forum members...sounds like you have an interesting game up your sleeve. Count me in! I hope all April Bday buddies are having a wonderful BDay month!!!!!

Tune in for a glimpse of BJ and John today!!!! CHEEKTOWAGA, NY - Sunday's championship round in the 2006 GEICO Classic will be an affair to remember. Diet Forum friends, BJ and John will face each other in the semifinals after each won their round of 8 matches Friday night at AMF Thruway Lanes. John, from nearby Manchester, NH, defeated 2005 PBA Player of the Year Patrick Allen (Tarrytown, N.Y.), four-games-to-one, to advance to his first championship round since the 2004 Uniroyal Tire Classic. "It's been a tough two years for me. It's familiar but unfamiliar territory," said John, who owns six Tour titles but has not won since 2002. "This has been a breakthrough week for me so I'm just going to try and keep it going and I have a great focus now that BJ is by my side." John, who used a Hammer Hog Wild, averaged 231.40 in his five games against BJ. BJ, (Seattle, WA), a PBA Hall of Famer who owns 30 Tour titles, defeated Wes Malott (Austin, Texas), 4-0. BJ will be making her fourth championship round appearance of the season but is still looking for her first title. The two will bowl for the $40,000 top prize and an exemption for the 2006-07 Denny's PBA Tour season on Sunday. The live ESPN televised finals will take place at 12:30 p.m. EST.

Jasdip, the KT is listed as my favorite site, (Been a Garden Web member since I got my first PC, in !997.) but ever since iVillage bought GW, we never know what might change. A lot of KTers don't have a birthday listed on their profile; I guess that is their choice, or not. Any way, at least I still know when mine is! Susan, that isn't my helmet; it is my DGS's DW's. They ride a lot. He would never have taken me with out it. But I didn't really like the "Harley helmet hairdo" when I saw the pic. The only other time I rode was once, at their house, around the block, so this was my maiden voyage. I appreciate all your kind, and flattering, replies. If there is a reason for my being at this age, it is because I am not a worrier, and I prefer to use common sense and logic in all things and the BIGGIE: I truly believe that laughter is the best medicine. I love (good, clean) humor and try my best to spread it around. The cupcake girl's DH is the photographer, but he didn't take any of the refreshment tables. But if I did this right, here is a commercial that a radio station did for them a while back. Sue P.S. Sylvia, you better hurry up and grow up!
