hmmm...no, did not know that....but is doing a search I found this from the link below. The gladiolus is easily raised from seeds, which should be sown in March or April in pots of rich soil placed in slight heat, the pots being kept near the glass after they begin to grow, and the plants being gradually hardened to permit their being placed out-of-doors in a sheltered spot for the summer. Modern growers often grow the seeds in the open in April on a nicely prepared bed in drills about 6 in. apart and 2 in. deep, covering them with finely sifted gritty mould. yada, yada, yada. If there are any in bloom yet, you might get a pic, to post when you go to trade them...hint, hint. Sue Here is a link that might be useful: Gladiolus

To deal with postmenopause symptoms you can look into Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy, the treatment focuses on replacing your bodies natural hormones to prevent disease or illness, it can also help with symptoms. However if you are still experiencing symptoms it would be related to 1) your health 2) your body weight 3) your activity/ lifestyle. I have seen so many women in postmenopausal who are experiencing symptoms still, overcome them through simple diet/ activity and lifestyle adjustment. Here is a great facebook group I came across that focuses on helping women going through menopause (pre, peri, full and post) lose weight and overcome other symptoms. https://www.facebook.com/groups/638415073016681/

My Electrolux range top died on me after about 4 1/2 years. The oven worked fine, but there was nothing happening on my cook top. After researching the error code we were getting, it seemed that the cost of the repair would be around $1,500 - $1,800, plus tax. We ended up going to a Sears Warehouse Outlet and purchased another induction range ... this one was a Kenmore Elite. We got it for $1,300, plus tax. I loved that Electrolux, and much preferred it to the Kenmore Elite, but I would never by another Electrolux today. My issue is well documented online by others, I found. I hate to say it, but I am not sure it would really be worth it to repair the induction top. Unfortunately, Sears has closed down all their outlet warehouses in Ontario now.

Glad to hear everyone's stories. Its been tough for us since we've had no kitchen during all of this. This week there has been no one working at our house and its really the days or weeks that no one is here that kills my spirit. Its not raining- the contractors should be here working. But I get a text saying they will be here Saturday when its a 95% chance rain. So we can all guess what's going to happen. I'm wondering at what point can I go - nothing is happening, we are getting concerned this is going from a 10 week remodel to one in which ya'll won't give me an end date. And yes, I do think that the crews went to work other jobs bc yesterday's excuse was rain and today its sunny and yet no contractors here. Frustrating.
