Sorry sometimes I get lost. I was doing computer forensics. Lighting strikes on computer systems. I was meaning to say Mike, I am bad. Sure you get to join, thinking of a rally in in Cozumel Mexico. I have a friend who let his boat down there. Must be nice. I need some 80 degree stable weather. LOL just wind here snapped a 6 footer off at the ground whaaaa full of flowers and buds. Time to go south for a while. Jim

Dear esh ga, I am saddened to learn of razorback's death. I read his AJ-C obituary which suggests that memorials may be made to the Garden Club of Georgia, Scholarship Fund, 244 Satilla Drive, Brunswick, GA, 31523. --jay_7bsc

hee-hee, and Boxofrox, you should see the firing of rockets between HP-PC users and Mac-Apple users! hahaha! Another pretty hilarious topic! But speaking of landscaped gardens, I always argue with the rose organics people that it is your landscaped gardens which hold the ideal because you have beautiful varieties of plants which bring eco-balance and protection for the roses and supports wildlife like the birds. Whenever a garden only consists of roses, disease attacks uniformity. Again, your point that so many opinions to field, even color, LOL! Just as you say the lavenders to make our faces turn purple, hee-hee! or blackspot confusion to make us slip! Man, all those debates about blackspot that exist, heh-heh! Harold, bless! LOL! so funny! and bless every one of you! Boxofrox, Jim, Harold! Today I think I better stay with subjects like Adele's delicious Lemon pie and your Basil Pesto, Boxofrox's lovely Lyda-honey and bee-loved Sedum, and both Jim and I have chocolate stories of naughty dogs. Boxofrox, I bet your Fluffy Pom-poms are quite the angels and not the naughty Border Collie pup-type when growing up. Last night I wrote Jim this. We were actually originally talking about coconut husks and cocoa shells which are used as potting soil substitutes and the conversation gravitated to the dangers of chocolate/cocoa. Here is what I wrote: "(Eluane) was only 7-1/2 weeks old and at the carport at my apartment (when I used to live in apartments). Suddenly she ran a few yards away from me! I chased after her (amazing how fast a little puppy can run) and saw her mash her entire little face into this giant chocolate cupcake that was even bigger than the biggest Hostess Ho-Ho! I yelled in panic to James to grab her. But as soon as he let go of her to put into my car, that little puppy ran straight back to the giant chocolate cupcake and screeched with puppy frustration and anger when James chased after her and grabbed her before she could get to the cupcake. She was one mad puppy, wriggling and screeching away; she really wanted to eat that chocolate cupcake! ItÂs strange that dogs just instinctually know that chocolate is a very tasty treat. They can smell its yummy chocolate smell a few yards away even though theyÂve never tasted it. They just know that it is something that tastes good." To which Jim replied, "Candy ate over half of a chocolate cake with chocolate icing. it was on the table cooling and she climbed on to a chair and helped herself." All we have to do is throw in a few lemons and pesto noodles into our thread, LOL! Yum,yum, yum! Harold, I truly believe Candy would have helped herself to Adele's delicious Lemon pie too had she the chance. Instead of Chocolate Candy she would have been the ultimate Lemon "Candy". LOL! LOL! oooo, a Photobucket Pie, how about it? LOL!

I HAVE to get all my Christmas things put away right after Twelfth Night or I end up hating it. I was loath to take down my Valentine's decs, but did. No St.Paddy's day decs, as DD's birthday is the next day after. As for Easter decs, love them but just leave the pastel flowers out afterwards. As with Christmas, it drives me nuts to have bunnnies and eggs out (in my house, NOT seeing them in anyone else's home) after Easter Sunday. But, like I said, I do love to have my pastel flowers around for weeks after.
