Hi GiGi, go over to Gardenjunk forum , up top in forums click garden and then look for garden junk there are tons of us there I think like you do When I put a plate in the garden I got a ration of sh@#$ but now people bring me stuff for my garden LOL nice to have you Sharon

Purple, 2011/12 has been the mildest winter ever. During March, we had about two wks at 80-90F, and very high humidity. Then temps dropped, but the lowest was 40F. Then we had a little over a wk in the 90's. This week was mid to high 70's, days, 60's night. It's all over the place. I've never had a Sans that bloomed. Seems few ppl get theirs to flower. Maybe the cold had something to do with yours flowering or a combination. How is your house so humid when temps are cool? lol. Do you run a humidifer? I've never been in a home where oil is used for heating. Is it a dry or humid heat? Don't worry Purple, you can run different experiments with your Callisia. Remember, invasive house plant. lol. Is Callisia hardy? You mentioned it growing as a ground cover. That's one thing I don't have to worry about here; it wouldn't survive normal winters..Normal opposed to this last winter. I'm shocked a good number of annuals returned. But, I wish our winters were always as mild. People in 'Palm Forum' who live in Chicago and as far north as Canada grow palms and certain succulents in their garden. The palm in Chicago is huge. The guy lives by the lake front which is a lot colder and windier than my area..sw burbs. The wind chill makes 35F feel like single digit. I'll try getting a pic today. I'm working inside, taking a break, checking emails and GW..lol. Anyway, Congreats on flowering Sans and Callisia

No sorry I wish! I only half trust my girl, of course I got her at five years of age and she was a kennal dog, but I don't trust her 100% I'm sure Barnay is leaps and bounds ahead of her. she has came to get me once in two years! It took her a year to be where I don't have to watch her 24/7 it used to be I would turn my back and see her coming back into the room and I knew she ran out and messed it took seconds on her part! He should have better control then something five pounds, my moms skipper/Chihuahua cross is about 15 and he has really good control and is 100% trustworthy of course she leaves him pee pads when she is gone for more then a few hours. We are down to a opps about every three months but I make her go out a LOT and only if I'm too busy does the opps happen but she never says hey I need to go potty :( she tells me when her balls get lost, Does Barnay have a thing for tiny balls with bells? all the paps I know go nuts for the cat toys. paps and most toy Dogs are very possessive of their people and have dominate personailtys that can play into potty training. other then crate train and have them out when you can watch them. Chi-chi sticks to my side like super glue if she is not in eye sight she is getting in the trash or pottying inside. My sister has gaven her the nick name... The defecating treasure seeker....... so you get the idea.....lol! what a show name huh? With chi-chi she HATES going outside with out me she flat out refused so as stupid as it sounds I had to have a few knock out drag out fights and be the leader so when I point out the door she goes, she is so sweet but she hated the thought of leaving me as she was alone in a kannel for five years she thinks my husband is a joke and if i'm gone she feels like she can mess in the house so he has had to step up and be the boss but it's so hard as she is so KOOT!!!! and stubren she don't give in easy lol. so with her it's part of a leadership thiing, she is a ture toy very possessive and she trys to rule the house and tell my husband he can't come into the same room as her and mommy if she is in my lap so I don't hold her in my lap all the time as she gets too bad and nippy yippy growly, she should know she is a doggy and not the lap police!

badgergal -- > Thanks for finding so much info about the company. I didn't realize they had changed their name, I thought they went out of business after the Depression. peegee -- > That's really interesting there was a twin! Do you think this table was also a library table at one point? I can't really tell if it has been modified, but if it were taller then I never would have come to acquire it because it wouldn't be bench-height ;-) fori -- > I kept wondering how you knew it was guaranteed quality, but I get it now. Thanks for the smile! franksmom -- > when we first brought it home, DH tightened it up and it seemed quite sturdy. But over the months of daily use as a dining table bench (by 8 and 4 year old boys) it started getting rickety again. Some, maybe all, of the screws and wing nuts are corroded, so they should probably be replaced. We didn't do much to it because DH hated it and I wasn't sure if we were going to keep it. But it grew on me, even though it couldn't be used as a bench.
