Any commercials make you boycott rather than buy?
Comments (50)I'm so sad to hear that so many of you have been driven near the edge of insanity by so many of these inane commercial messages. We have a rather wry take on the advertising system by one of the major ones on CBC Radio One, called "The Age of Persuasion" that I find rather interesting: it's been on weekly for several years. I'm not sure what the web address will be, something at www.cbc.ca/ageofpersuasion, or /persuasion, possibly. Maybe catch it on Sirius 137. Have any of you sent messages to the advertiser telling of your reaction to the message? I suspect that if the half dozen or so of you who disparaged several of the major offenders wrote the company, telling them of your displeasure ... that is shared by others, according to their claim on a high quality internet discussion group ... ... they might pay some attention. Squawking on a thread like this, for fun, is one thing ... doing something constructive about it seems to me to be of greater value. This thread makes me rather less concerned that, out here where the three or so stations on TV are snowy, means that I watch little TV ... and am too cheap to spring for satellite. I lived for several years without cable, in the city, after a house-sharer left ....... to live with a pleasant widow that he'd met at a singles' club. Later asked whether he could return: she liked the dog better tham him. Found a less expensive place elsewhere. I hope that you all have a great week: hope that you don't lose the remote (or a "loved one" take it with them when they leave home, following a disagreement). ole joyful P.S. Less than enthused about the hundreds that I've been getting by email offering Peace of mind for Persons suffering from Pitiful Penis. Or the Russian gals seeking a wonderful relationship. Or the guys wanting to slip a box of Bucks ... Gold ... or Damonds ... out of Africa (many claiming to be workers in a bank in Oagadougou, Burkina Faso) (or other places). o j...See MoreIn case you want a good laugh.... looking forward to 2015
Comments (20)Lesley, thank you so much. Patience is important, and definitely something I struggle with. It's hard to plant something and know it's going to be a few years before it really wows you! I planted two Henri Martins this last summer and a Salet Moss and I'm dying for them to bloom. They are the first "old" roses I've planted and I am just antsy to see them. I was impressed with how much they grew in their first year though from little bands. I have removed New Dawn from my wishlist on ARE! Thank you for letting me know. I definitely don't want a monster of a rose covered in thorns. -------- iris_gal, thank you very much! Yikes... Sounds like a lot of people have had trouble with New Dawn. HMF is bookmarked on my computer. :o) I'm on there way more than I should probably admit! I saw Mme. Plantier gets about 5 feet wide. I don't know that I mind the pruning too much since its vigorous, hardy to zone 3, and near thornless. I dunno? I'm conflicted. -------- Trish, it's good to know I'm not alone! I do feel like I've learned a ton but there is SO much to learn. It always amazes me the stuff everyone knows here. Well I bet in the right place it might not be such a terrible idea! If you had it somewhere where it could get as big as it wanted and you didn't have to pass by it too closely. I don't think a place like that in my yard exists. Hopefully Jeri will come back and tell us what that beautiful rose is. :o) Michaela...See MoreCommercials that crack you up....
Comments (62)Glad this thread is still alive. I was reminded of another favorite from about 3 years back - the Honda commercial that reprised Ferris Beuller's Day Off. I could watch that one over and over. Had fun just trying to find all the movie connections. I read today Honda will have another spot this year after being absent last year and it's supposed to be funny and involve sheep and Queen's 'Somebody to Love'....See MoreWhat are you lookin' at??

Comments (57)I love the garden web community, it's so fun and helpful, thank you so much for playing on this thread! I'm loving every single shot. Everyone has such amazing views from iconic red barns to sweeping mountain views, I love it! Cook, whoa that's amazing. Chisue, I love your description, can you show us? Linelle, hehe. I'm with you, I can almost touch my neighbors, too. Do you get any pretty sunrises or sunsets out your windows? (You can see the neighbor's shed in the right corner of my cat window pic, but a cat improves any view.) I'm loving this, it's really really neat to wake up and see what everyone else is experiencing. It's a little bit like traveling. : ) Thanks!!!...See More- 11 years ago
