It could be one of the oakworms, Sue, probably the spiny oakworm/anisota stigma. This cat is highly variable in coloring, but it has the long, red-spotted purple style "horns" that few moths have. If it were me, I'd offer it some oak leaves - still, it may not eat them, because when you see caterpillars wandering around they're usually going to pupate/cocoon. MissSherry

Not sure what your doing wrong about half of my iris make seed all by their lonesome. I suppose if i wanted to try crossing i could, but i only have 2 distinct colors with some minor variations, so not much point. I have about a dozen bloomers of each color all from a start of 3 plants 3 years ago. Each color are in different parts of the yard, so unless bees get busy not much chance of natural crossings. I have taken the time to open some of the pods, i just leave em where they fall. for some reason a number of the smaller ones will be empty. The huge ones, egg size and above, will normally have seeds.

My guess--'Undulata' and it looks fine to me! And, you're fine, and a hosta-holic as well, and just like the rest of us!!! Now--take an aspirin---send me a hosta---and report back with pics. of all the hosta you have!! Works for me!!!:o) Oh, and there's ALWAYS a chance I'm wrong on the hosta I.D.! Others will either confirm I'm right or reveal I'm wrong! I can take it--I've got so much more to learn!!!

What would you do if he was in another profession dominated by members of your sex....like nursing, for example? As with flight attendants, the close association is impossible to avoid. The flight attendant job has the additional twist of having him at a distance, also, but the idea's the same. Unless you demand that he change jobs, you'd better get straight about this. Close association socially and professionally will be part of his life -- and yours. Your job is to be a such a wonderful wife and mother, that any temptation -- which I think is what you're worried about -- can be easily resisted. Being b..tchy about it won't help. This business of turning off your phone was pretty stupid. Do you have a good man or not? If you do, don't play these stupid games with him. Feigned jealousy can be cute from time to time. Real jealousy -- such as you've just described in yourself -- is poison. No reason you can't discuss this frankly and openly but it appears to me from your description that this personal characteristic of yours is causing you -- and him -- more grief than it should. Unless you're already dealing with a history of infidelity or suspicious acts, I suspect you may be about to cause them by your own behavior.
