And

Yes, that is correct as of ten min ago. Dmail (not Group Blast) still works if you want to contact an individual there.

I ran across a funny thing the other day, it's called It would cost $900 billion in real life to save Matt Damon in all of his movies. Here's the site: http://www.businessinsider.com...

Sally this one you may find interesting.
Another funny one I found while looking up the correct spelling for Murphy's Law:

I like this one:
Stapp's Ironical Paradox, which says, "The universal aptitude for ineptitude makes any human accomplishment an incredible miracle."

Stopped at Ace Hardware to look at seeds. Bulbs were priced 75% off! Bought a slew of Ipheion and Galanthus. Every Ace? Beats me. Check with your local Helpful Hardware Man.

Thanks for the tip, Lisa! I'll check out my local Ace tomorrow.

This zinnia is currently blooming IN SPACE!

As a space nerd AND a gardener, this is suuuper exciting.

I need to crosspost this somewhere... maybe the All Things Gardening forum?

Very cool!

fun! thanks ssg

Anyone still making glass plate flowers for the garden? I have some plates to give.

Thanks ssg.
Sally, Holly has a whole collection of glass for that purpose.
But when she looks at her clutter it's important, usable, and important, when she looks at my clutter it's junk.

Oh Ric, I am sure she's quite correct in her opinion....

LOL Sally, I have been trying to declutter and am having a really hard time. I was telling Ric that I can so easily look at his stuff and think you haven't used this in 10 - 20 years or how many of these things do you really need. But when I look at my stuff it is so much harder as my mind just thinks weeel you might do something with that or maybe you just might need that. It is a hard thing to do.

I know very well how hard that is. Last night my neatnik daughter suggested a change in the 'mudroon'. I said Well, that small nightstand in there (from my childhood bedroom ) can go because I put it there, filled the drawers with 'useful' things, and promptly never used them again
I am well prepared to cross stitch; haven't done a bit in 20 years!!

I can only weed bits and pieces of my junk at a time, mostly. It's something by the way, thanks for taking some of my cross stitch stuff couple years ago; want more?

Yes I sure would take more of your X Stitch. Do you have more books? I am looking for an old pattern with a group of snowmen wearing bright colored knit hats and gloves.
Did you see my last project?

I can relate--I am very well-stocked to continue my scrapbooking, and it has all sat there very nicely, cluttering up space, for several years now! I keep thinking, someday...

That is beautiful, Holly!!

I did see that Holly, it's fabulous!
I never had much of X stitch books and I think I've thinned out what I had already. But I will check. I had two magazines that I just adored, even tho I only ever made one of the projects.

Oh, I had a very brief flirtation with scrapbooking, it's not my thing I now have a coworker who loves paper crafts and actually does them.

Sewing is my love You can make almost anything with needle and fabric . And I came of age in the 80s when fabric crafts were big in home decor.

I always admire people who are good at sewing and handcrafts!
I used to do a lot of scrapbooking--I started it when I was planning to bring Katie home from Vietnam, as a way of substituting for the commercial baby books that don't work well for children who are adopted. Kept up with it until she was in the 4th grade. Have a huge pile of photos and supplies now that should keep me busy well into my retirement years!

I use to love to sew, made all kinds of clothes for myself and the kids when they were young. Don't do much of it any more but every so often I get the machine and do something.
