off topic -- no good deed goes unpunished...
Comments (8)GGG -- That's a really good idea! I have a notebook with those plastic, looseleaf sheets for organizing 3x5 or 4x6 photos. They are about the right size for storing plant tags. (Although Monrovia ones have to be cut off at the bottom a little to fit.) If I get a lousy tag with very little detail from wherever, I still put it in there (so I can remember where I bought the plant), but I try to go online and print out whatever details I find there. Then, I fold it and put it behind the tag in the plastic sheet. It's not very pretty, but for most of the plants in my yard, I have some info. I also have a section for fertilizers I've used in the past. It is hard to remember the formula I like for a particular kind of plant (and I can never remember which number of the three is which). Walter Reeves has some kind of Saturday Night Fever dance that he uses to show people how to remember the numbers, but I still can't recall it when I need to! :)...See MoreThat old woman was here today
Comments (5)Please keep her there Sue. I just can't handle another visit from that old Hag right now. Would you believe she went to get her Passport, only to find that her Drivers License had expired in October 07. Now who goes a whole year without knowing their license expired?

Comments (2)I have been a SF fan forever, but lately have more re-read old favorites than new writers, because mist of them are so negative. Maybe more realistic as far as the behavior of people goes as way back when. I have read several of Haldeman's books, but rather read old Heinlein....See Morelucillle
