Hi wodka and everyone who feels the same way. I just want to let you know,that only 4 month ago now, I felt the same way. I know how frustrating it can be and just want to tell you to never ever give up. I have actually found a product which I have used and it has helped me to lose weight in a healthy drug free way. Come on girls, no need to be sad and discouraged. I really wish that I can help you with the following. Something so amazing happened to me, that I simply must share it with the world. Let me start by telling you a little bit about my past. Just 3 month ago, I was a 100 pounds overweight, without self-esteem and completely depressed. Since the birth of my twins (5 years ago) I have tried almost every diet on the market. Some didn't work for me at all and the ones that did always had that ping pong effect. Things got worse, when I decided to go on a "self starving crush diet". That time I lost it all. I was irritated day in and out, super grumpy and I lost all my energy. It seemed to me that, people would stare more then ever at me due all my excessive pounds. My self-esteem had died and I buried myself at home. I didn't have the energy to exercise and soon was diagnosed with iron and vitamin D deficiency. Oh boy, I don't even want to think back anymore. Then one day at the local market, I met an old friend of mine from high school. I tell you guys, he's always been more then chubby and I wouldn't even have recognized him, if it weren't for his approaching me. I found him sporty and very lean. I was flabber gasped. Anyway he referred me to this amazing web site where you find incredible help on how to shed many pounds in a natural and healthy way. Today, I am 89 pounds lighter have my energy back and enjoy life to the fullest. I have been able to work out again and have now the killer stomach, hips and butt, that I never thought possible for me anymore. The best part of all is, that once I followed the program precisely, the pounds just seemed to melt away like butter. I never felt hungry nor have I experienced hunger bangs. My energy level equals that of when I was a little girl. I was surprised how simple it all was. By just combining the right foods at the right time, I could actually eat whenever I wanted to and still drop lots of weight. The program had also such a very positive impact on my emotions. I am healthier then long before and have found happiness in every aspect of my life again. Now I can be super mom again, who doesn't black out, when the kids want to play tag with me. They are also very proud of me and I really think I owed them to become my old self again. A very close friend of mine almost wanted to undergo a gastric bypass operation and now that she's using the same system then I did, she's been thanking me, for sparing her the procedure. I want everyone who needs or wants to lose some weight to know, that it is possible. You don't need to put yourself through a risky operation and you don't need to starve. No need to spend so much money on things that don't work or on pills that in the end will make you sick. I want to leave you with this link to the web page, that has helped me tremendously and permanently. I know what it feels like to feel fat and helpless. I know the agony of trying and trying without success. Please don't get frustrated because there is this amazing simple thing that really works for everyone. I made a vowel to myself, that if I get permanent results, I'd make this product known to everyone who is as desperate as I was. For those who give it a try, please leave me a feedback sometimes, because I really would love to know how you are doing and getting along with it. I am also open for questions if anyone needs help. Take care and God bless... Here's the web site where I found my help. www.fasthealthyandpermanentweightloss.com Just put it into your browser and you're good to go. Please let hear from you guys sometime, especially wodka. I wish you the same success, that I had. Believe me it's possible. Never give up hope and remember to stay in touch. Keryn :-)

Thanks! I am really really excited. I am looking so forward to living in the neighborhood, a half a mile to Brookside, 2 miles to the Plaza, half a mile to Loose Park. My idea of paradise. Plus the 7 minute commute sounds a lot better than 45 minutes! Regarding the quick turnaround, my mom thinks that this was all fated to work out this way since this is the location that I was originally targeting! Plus she knew that I had some concerns about the layout of the other house and felt like I probably settled more than I probably should have in the interest of keeping the peace in the ole' marriage (plus she didn't care for the other house much either).This house is also one that we put an offer in on Monday but they didn't counter much so we thought it was out of reach. We decided to increase our offer so as not to let it get away from us. I am financially conservative almost to a fault, so I realized that I was being silly to not be willing to pay for the RIGHT house. I think it equals in increase in monthly payment of about $15. Shoot, I'll save more than that in gas money. Now if you need me, you'll find me in the Home Decorating forum ;)

Brendan, your roses are just lovely. I particularly like the delicate coloring of Moonlight in Paris, and, of course, I love Colette, which is one I grow, too. Mine is a number of years old and quite large. You asked if bloom size increased with the rose size as is grows. Maybe some, but roses have a basic size determined by their genetics, and Colette's blooms will always be fairly small sized--but you will get many, many blooms as she grows larger. When the heat of summer hits, some roses produce smaller sized blooms with fewer petals, but there is an inherent bloom size that each plant is going to maintain most of the time. Dirt Digger, what a gorgeous bloom from your Poseidon. Diane
