I am not saying it was threatening...I was "annoyed" it started out that they had "seen it for sale"...That was my only thing that really bothered me. I can't stand something starting out as a lie. Had it not mentioned it had been for sale. I may not have though anything other than it a compliment. That said...it did annoy me that I received an email from someone here stating my tree was for sale. If ones find that it wrong that it annoyed me the emailer started with a lie...then, I guess I may have had to strong of morals from truths and lies. But...it did offend me. I didn't name the emailer...in this thread. So I am not really pointing fingers at an individual. Just wanting ones to know...be honest. Don't start out saying untruths. The untruths are annoying.

Welcome Pharoh. Thank you so much for sharing those kitchen photos, which of course totally blew me away like everyone else. Being a biologist with a particular interest in thing aquatic, your kitchen was like a dream to me, like a "I've died and gone to heavan" kitchen. My own kitchen is very small and completely lacking in counter space. Since it is a row house, no chance of expanding, lol! I'm a vegetarain too, although no gourmet. I'm basically what I call a "hash cook." I have no patience for manipulating and arranging my food, so I specialize in stews and soups! Also cheap food. I can no more do good phyllo than play the violin, lol! I love eating Indian and Asian food, although I don't cook it that often, I just don't have the ingredients around for it. I seem to specialize in mediterranean cooking, I have yet to find a mediterranean cuisine that I didn't love, most recently I have been doing N. African due to the influence of this forum and one of our virtual dinners. How I envy you living in CA, you have access to all the best ingredients all the time. Welcome, glad you're here! Lpink

Hi Wendy LOL the time it takes me to do a tut depends on how many times I make a mistake and have to start over. Seriously I lose interest quickly so if they take more that 15 -20 mins I give up :) I found a site that has some beginner PSP tuts so I'll post it for you - please let us see the results of any you do :) Be patient and just take it one step at a time. Eventually it WILL make sense especially for the tools you are using a lot. Hang in there Sue :) Here is a link that might be useful: PSP9 tuts

I can't believe no one has mentioned "Doggie"!!He wasn't around long I think Spike banned him over something...I just remember when his wife came in and posted that he had passed away suddenly...He wrote the most incredible poem...I'll share it with ya... "Doctor Time" When we lose a loved one and we're in despair Doctor Time is already there He's treating us all, we're unaware When our loved one is gone and on their way Doctor Time helps us move on day to day He treats the anger, grief and sorrow with a medicine he calls "Tomorrow" As the days, weeks and months go by we just look back and wonder why Such a beautiful person had to die But deep inside we feel okay We have lived to see another day He's calmed the anger, grief and sorrow, we took the medicine he calls "Tomorrow" Doctor Time has one thing to say Time heals all wounds day by day I remember he posted this poem to someone's post who had lost a loved one and he died shortly thereafter...
