I have been sitting her trying to think of a logical response to this idea of boycotting Wal-Mart because they are somehow responsible for "destroying so many tomato crops in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic" that I just do not know where to begin. Have entire civilizations ever been wiped out by crop failures before Wal-Mart existed? Perhaps we can trace the roots of the great Irish Potato Famine of 1845 - 1851 that is believed to have killed more than one million people in Ireland from starvation on Wal-Mart. Gee, while we are at it perhaps Wal-Mart should be investigated for starting the swine flu pandemic currently sweeping the world. Or perhaps the great Chicago fire of 1871 - maybe it was a Wal-Mart executive and not a cow kicking over a lantern in Mr. O'Leary's barn. Maybe Wal-Mart is responsible for causing Mount Saint Helens in Washington State erupting on 25 May 1980 - I mean Wal-Mart existed at that time, right? Oh! oh! , maybe Wal-Mart is responsible for the salmonella outbreak that involved spinach in 2007or Jack-in-the-Box's ecoli outbreak a few years ago. Right??? NOT!!! Perhaps, if we put on our thinking caps and really think about this for a minute, just maybe, we will realize that perhaps whatever is "destroying so many tomato crops in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic" is part of a natural sequence of events that can occur AT ANY TIME because such things are part of NATURE. Unless you think Wal-Mart has some netharious desire to "destroying so many tomato crops in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic" (let alone the power to actually do such a thing if they wanted to) because they are an evil mega conglomerate out to suck the lifeblood out of every city they have stores in. I say that such stupidity does not belong in this forum. If you are so totally devoid of intelligent thought please go talk to yourself and leave the rest of us to have meaningful conversations that have true value to others. I am sure you find your comments to be intellectually invigorating, more intelligent people recognize your hypothetical assertations as irrevocably absurd. Is your thinking so warped and twisted and bent to think that Wal-Mart would do such a thing? I mean really are you that thick in the head or obsessed with "whatever" to write such rediculous comments? Do you not understand the concept of nature, viruses, bacteria, diseases,etc. Or are you so used to making such inane statements that you actually believe what you have written? If you actually believe what you have written, all I can say is,"I hope your side of the gene pools ends with you". The drivel you have offered here is beyond even what the most strident Wal-Mart/big box store hater would think, let alone put in writing, and puts into question your ability to have a single coherent thought beyond that of a tomato hornworm. Actually, it is quite apparent that my tomato plants have a higher IQ than you do. Go back to the corner of the room you came from and leave the rest of us to engage in more weightier matters, because I am quite sure you are not able to understand what is being discussed nor will you ever have anything the rest of us would consider interesting. Let me see, too harsh? I don't think so. Tom

Yikes, I just ordered an e-lux frig! Were you able to resolve the power failure alarm issue? Our power just flicked off twice today after I got home and had been off earlier while I was away. That would be a deal killer for me. Please let me know. Thanks!

I believe I had IE, but not sure which version. Now, I am not sure WHAT one is up! Right now there are 3 searches running- there are 3 'file card tabs' at the top of the page. Two of them have a small red/green/blue/yellow flag icon, the third has the 'Gardenweb' icon- the page that I am on now. Walnut.. I did not download anything that I am aware of.. If I move my curser to the top nothing happens- there is a 'wrench' on the far right, but when I click on it, it opens a list that has 'Google Chrome' near the bottom, yet the icon on the far left of the page (this page), is the 'Yahoo' icon. I don't even have a way to open my 'favorites' now. Did IE7 have favorites/back/forward arrows, file/edit/view/tools/help in the upper left hand corner?? I am wondering if I am in 'Google Chrome' or IE9 by some chance? How do I check which browser I am set to go to auto? Tx

I am canceling my service with Comcast. I have the $4.99 charge to cover me in case I need to have a service call. Well in April I did have a service call as one of my two phone lines was not working. The technician who came out broke my phone and did not tell me that he broke it. I found that out much later -- it should have been a hint when he did not want me to hold the phone. Then he or Comcast put a $70.00 charge on my account. When I called Comcast, I told them about this, they admitted that it should not have been there and they told me that they would credit my account on the next bill, but that I was expected to pay it and they would issue a credit. I need to check the statutes but I don't think you can collect on disputed charges, especially when you are aware that YOU made the mistake. For the $70.00 that should not have been billed, they interrupted the service. I refuse to pay it and have notified my local jurisdiction and the FCC. If you are looking for a cable or internet or phone provider, don't walk past Comcast, run as fast and as far as you can.
