I just now received a notification in my email that I was sent a Tree-mail.

"Dear needrain,

You just received a private message from suzancatim. To read it, click
here:


This notification was sent to you by Garden.org. Do not reply to this
email notification."

If I use the link given, this is the message:

"Not Found
The requested URL /mail/read/84830/ was not found on this server."

And there is nothing indicating a new Tree-Mail on the Garden.org page. Someone make a mistake and change their mind? Or something else?
Donald

We could band together an open an offshore bank account and put $100.00 in it. She can deposit to that. Big Grin

I spent my money on more raised beds. Just got another load of sandy loam in this afternoon. Hurray!

Although I'm sure that's what she meant, she expressed it as 2,500,000 million. That's 2 million 500 thousand million, which comes out to, I think 2.5 trillion.
