Diane, ENVY! ENVY! ENVY! I hope you really don't have to keep working full time. That's no fun. Go for something part time at night, so not to disturb your gardening routine. (note absence of suggestions) I am in the red zone. Less than 5 years to go. I'm gonna retire completely. Wake up, don't even bother to take off my pajamas, hang around the house watching TV, drinking beer, drooling, and burping. With all that, I WILL wonder how I ever found time to work. I'm sure for you the next major birthday is 40. Yeah, too young to retire. Just don't retire from here. We need you. Harry

As a retired teacher, I have to echo purpleinopp's post as far as knowing how to use different resources (and people are a resource) and finding info. An additional skill that is much needed is knowing how to discern whether or not the info is true, and remembering that just because you read or hear something, it isn't necessarily true. If the OP is an advanced biology student worried about his/her grade, the first thing that student will most likely do after getting info from this site is to confirm it. And therein lies a lot of learning. If there is a true desire to help learning and not just spoon feed info, it would be useful to provide one reason for each suggestion...that would give the OP a place to start with a confirmation. #5...I'm sure I'm off base since it hasn't been suggested, but the first thing I thought of looking at #5 was an oenothera...based on the shape of what I think is a flower bud or seed pod, and, again what I think I see, the stigma. As others have said, it is difficult to discern details when the flowers have been dried and pressed, and in these photos, even colors.

I agree, its a matter of marketing, and the pictures aren't up yet. But in my local market (stable to slightly increasing prices even when most of the country's RE market was collapsing), they would not try to gloss over a scratched pink laminate kitchen. That would be in the "kitchen needs updating" category...but I'll really know when the pictures are up on the site. I have seen a couple listings at a much higher price point though, where the original 60s rehab kitchens...in older houses, often laminate or tile countertops and terracotta floors have been featured as such. The house I just bought said "newer kitchen" with no pictures. It turned out to be white laminate top to bottom with white appliances--and it was only installed in 2007. Its very basic and unobtrusive, and I will replace it. But I had an easier time swallowing this than a 2007 with high quality cabinets and granite I didn't care for or didn't think fit the house.

OMG! I love fridge pictures. There is a whole web site somewhere just for pictures of the inside of people's fridge's. I'll have to see if I can find it again and post a link! I am ashamed to say my own fridge is not in the best of order right now and it is just too hot to clean it out. Yours is gorgoeus!!! Joann
