That's cute. My husband also suggested the snake one. I thought of this: Beautiful to look at, Delightful to smell, If you pick these flowers, You'll go to HELL.

Sorry, I didn't mean to do a post and run. I've had a crazy weekend. My name is Deb, and I've actually been on GW off and on since 1999. I post mostly over on Florida Gardening, Brugmansias, and sometimes on Cactus and Succulents. I write articles...lots and lots of articles. I also have a few blogs that are sadly neglected, so I'm trying to get them back up and running, especially my gardening blog. I'm in my late 50's, have lupus, and of course, love to garden. I live in SW Florida and am soon moving to Gainesville, a whole zone north of me, where I will not have a yard at first. I'm going to try to get into a community garden there, so I can at least grow my veggies and some of my plants. Moving at my age is hard, and I thought I'd never leave here, but circumstances forced me to make a choice, so I'm leaving. This yard is too much for me to take care of anymore. I need a break from all this physical labor, but I know I could not live without gardening, so I'm thinking my African Violets will be my new indoor project. I have two sons, 25 and 37, and they both live in Chicago. No, we aren't from Chicago, the older one was there and the younger one was in Seattle and decided he wanted to be with his brother, so there they are. So far, they are both doing well, just going through the normal trials of life, which they moan to me about just like I moaned to my mother when she was living. I am estranged from my family by choice, so my sons are my only family. I'm happier that way. I'm a Pantheist, which is not Christian, but I do believe in God. I just define him differently. To me, God is nature...all of nature, including humans. I searched for many years to find a spiritual path I could follow, and tried everything but Satanism in the process (but I did read about it and it is very scary...totally based on 'self' and making yourself happy, no matter what the consequence). I settled on Pantheism because it makes sense to me. There is no one and nothing to blame if things go wrong or bad things happen. It is all just part of the cycle of life, and that is hard to accept sometimes, but it makes more sense to me than angels and demons. I do pray, so I will be asking for and giving out many prayers. Enough for now. I'm sure you will learn more about me as we go along. Thanks again for the welcome! Here, have some chocolate. I just happen to have extra. Here is a link that might be useful: My Gardening Blog, in case you're interested

My first thought was that perhaps someone (you or a hacker) had tried unsuccessfully to login your account "n" times and your account was temporarily disabled. But... "There was a process to follow if you wanted a review for a reinstatement ... " That makes me think that they (Facebook) thinks you may have violated their terms of usage. Of course, if your account was hacked, it could have been the person that hacked your account that violated the terms. Unfortunately, I think Mary is right. Nothing to do but file for a review and wait. Maybe the review process is just slower than usual, rather than non-existent.

"NSF certified food safe counters are important in a kitchen." They are important to you in a kitchen. I really don't care. One in fifty granite countertops emits concerning levels of radon gas. I don't care about that either. Let's be honest, bacteria is a serious problem in food prep, leaching of countertop materials much less so. Aside from bacteria the largest entry point of harmful contaminates to food is your water source. Leaching of chemicals from Quartz to food will pale in comparison to cooking your pasta in tap water.
