Hello and Good Morning, I'm home but have to return to work Monday for a meeting but then will be off again until next Friday. I've been struggling with this cold/virus since last Friday and it has really knocked me down. I'm on my 2nd round of antibiotics for it. Tony, yes like Susie mentioned, with the economy being like it is, and with the many, many nice swaps there are. We just threw it out to get some ideas on what everyone thought about it, and if we would have enough participants for new swap. Carol, thank you for the input. Yes, to be honest I've not traded for much for hosta due to the hosta virus. I should have mentioned we can trade hosta as long as we are sure they are virus free. Sue G, we would love to have you! Susie, I hope to catch you on line this morning. I will be back later; I smell coffee, LIFE IS GOOD, Annie

Hi PETAL PUSHERS!!! Hope everyone had good weather this week! A big thanks to Ms. Patches for pulling my name! Congrats to Maryanne too! I'm so excited to win something! Yes, I'm doin' the HAPPY DANCE!! Weather has been much better this week. I was able to get out and put a dump truck full of mulch down....Oh my achin' back....ummm, legs, feet, arms....I even think my eyelashes hurt! LOL!! Deni, I really want to participate in the FIRST swap but not much is up in the yard to do so, so I will have to sit the first one out to my dismay. Are we going to number each 100 posts? Will send list to you....be patient tho' I been busy with the homeless shelter, the yard, the grands. Mariann, nice pics. Sassy, you are way too funny...."don't have lots to trade but girl I got a credit card!!!!!!!!!" Hi Anita! Now I don't feel so bad to know that I am computer illiterate, too. Waaay too much to learn and I guess like most I just don't have the patience or the time to invest in learning all that EXTRA stuff....(smile). I have way too much fun in the gardens to be still that long! Well off to wind down.... Good night all,

Carol, I am sorry but you are taking this too far. Please just move past the bitterness and lets all have fun, after all this is a social swap. Look up the meaning of social. We are all just here to enjoy each others fellowship and friendship. This has put a damper on everything concerning this group. Please just move on and enjoy this wonderful group like we are all doing. There are two GREAT swaps going on so lets just all do like Sue and put things past where they belong... in the past. Susie this swap is awesome, I love reading about all the awesome baskets!!! I wish I could be a fly on the wall when everyone receives their picnics, that would be sooo much fun!!! Pixie

I am here tonight for a favor. I am in need of quick prayers for my 24 year old daughter. She went to the emergency room yesterday because she first started having stabbing pains in her chest then her left side began tingling and she was dizzy and had difficulty concentrating. She was tested for stroke and bloodclot and when they could not find anything, sent her home. Her pain went away but not the tingling. I took her to the chiropractor and she didn't do any work on her because just simply looking at her and her reactions to certain tests made the chiro ask me to take her back to the er. I took her to a different hospital and they have admitted her. I know someone asked if MS was in the family and I do have a cousin. They are doing an MRI tomorrow and after reading the symptoms tonight, realize that Elizabeth has several of them and they even mentioned some patients had pains described as stabbing which is how this started. I am scared for my daughter and pray that MS is not the problem. Please keep her in your prayers and I will keep you posted. Thanks Margo
