Did you do the Easter Newt hunt?

If not, you still have time.

You need to watch your pond for 10 mins duing the day and 10 mins at night.

I have!! just posted it, and off to go look at the researchers newts this evening. It is a very active pond it seems....and the newts are not shy.

this spam is a nuisance, damp, what does 'bump' mean?

I must also say, that in my message I put in a word quite innocently, and it has been hijacked and highlighted in green and made into an advert.

it is all very sad.

I was trying to move up proper messages above the spam ones. Bumping up the message.

I too have tried to email the moderators. Presumably there are none! I wish there was a "report" button on messages like on some message boards.

I bet I got my tags switched! This must be W. Easter Sunrise. I should have double checked Tinkers before I posted :) I went to check my tag, & I definitely have this labeled Easter Egg Hunt, but it is just like me to switch 'em. Sorry about that, & thanks for helping me correct it! I have 4 Westbournes, am really liking them all so far, but they are all pretty new. First year bloom on all or them, I believe. I'm looking forward to seeing them next year when they have settled better & see how they multiply.

Easter Egg Hunt in California

I loved all the pastel colors. They also hide 1 gold egg. Everyone pitches in $5.00 if they want to hunt for the egg. It is hidden in a harder to find place. Mom and I donated $20.00 but didn't hunt. DGD found it, and won the $80.00 that was collected. It was hidden in the tub of iced down beer/pop. That had to have been cold. She didn't follow through on the agreement she made with her brother on the way over there though. They told each other if they found the gold egg, that the other would get 20% of the money. She didn't share.

thyrkas, it was lucky you posted a copy of your telegram here as they are no longer used by the Royal Mail in the UK and Dido would have been shocked to find a barrel of small, very hungry dragons on her doorstep. FEDEX doesn't cross the Atlantic. In fact over here I think dragons might be an endangered species which will give them a higher priority over mere humans. I just read of a TRUE case in the local paper concerning the first cousin to the dragon, the Great Crested Newt. A family (human) had been flooded out of their home during the bad weather of last summer. Months of delays by builders followed and then the area flooded again, this time from a blocked stream. It has been discovered that among the detritus of the 'blockage' is a family of Great Crested Newts which cannot be disturbed because of their protected status. 'English Nature' also noted several birds nesting in the area. So the unfortunate family must stay in temporary accommodation until the birds have flown and the GC Newts have decided to move on "contra bonos mores" as the poet might have said.

For Easter Do You Buy Gifts?
Q

Not now. We've gotten away from the gift giving in standard ways anyway. Among those close to me we give gifts when we feel like giving a gift. Why wait for a birthday, holiday, retirement, death or otherwise to give something when you want to give it to them? Plus this way there isn't the obligation to give something you can't afford and they can't use. Most gifts are something the person wants and either the other person has it and doesn't want, need or use it anymore or can afford to give it. Limits the holiday shopping and the inflated prices plus it relieves stress. And cuts down on the clutter we all have too much of anyway. And when something is on sale, clearance or otherwise, it benefits that much more. Not foolproof but advantageous and works quite well. Now if I had grandchildren, all rules might go out the window...

Hi Dampflippers,

Are you still out there?

I couldn't do this last year because I didn't know what type of newts I have, but I've found out this year that they're smooth newts. Not sure whether your old link will work or not in 2013, but I'm going to try after leaving this message.

Chip, if you're out there, I agree with you over the old problems we had re spam but I think the green highlighted words are infinitely better than those awful adverts that used to cover over parts of the page at one time. You had a job getting out of them to read the forum! The site has to be paid for somehow and I'm quite happy with things as they are at present.

Come back everyone. I miss you all !!
