I have said for 25+yrs. that our unions have just ran rampant against our very own work force,and are driving us towards socialism far faster than we think! Reader's,stop this bill and stop it for good or face the consequences! Communism strikes a blow against the American worker!

Parents,neighbors,relatives,we need to change our attitudes on plopping down when arriving home in front of the tv! Start small,before you do a thing,before you make an excuse,call your children and go for a walk around your immediate block. Stop to visit with neighbors. Toss a ball around. See natures offerings. But stop making the tv the high-point of your getting home. Start with just 5 minutes of play,slowly go to ten minutes,soon you'll be amazed at how you change. Wishes to all.

Don't mean to be a garden-hog,but you've hit my "love-spot".To youngergirl,I've but our mobile home lot to garden in. And every year I grow the following.Gr.beans,squash,carrots,chry.tom.,onions,beets,BigBoy tom.,pumkins,apples,cukes,muskmelon,and have flowers(perennials) galore.Space has been beaten mostly with "vertical gardening" and "Combination Gardening",my terms.I also use container gardening,and seldom ever need to use a hose.I designed and use a water-retention thingee I built that works with gravity. Stop on by some day. Wishes to All!

TO:"whoanellie"..rabbits,chippy's,squirls,oh my!What I do is buy a good sized container of black pepper,then sprinkle it all around my plants,flowers too.I hate any type of poison for insects or otherwise.I have a two gal. jug sprayer for our apple trees,grapes,etc.and I add a tblspoon of Dawn dishsoap to it for doing away with aphids,etc. works great,cost very little,non-poinsonous to pets,wild birds,etc.,and easy to dispose of right down the toilet.I use the same for slugs/snails but I add a teaspoon of reg. bleach. Then with any leftover I wash out planters,clean metal lawn ornaments.tables & chairs,etc.Works great on patio bricks too. Wishes to All!

Gardening! A wonderful,profitable way to "waste" time. Each year we sit very impatiently for spring to begin. We've done our best to turn our entire yard into a swedish alpine valley by planting hundreds of early,mid and late crocus throughout our lawn. When in their somewhat full blomm we've quite a treat. People passing by always stop to look,or slow down in their cars for a quick eyeing. Waiting for the apple trees to bloom what wonders our yard has. Wishes to All!
On How should students’ cell phone use be limited?

The parents,schools,society,must put a stop to this constant "child abuse" by allowing anything and everything goes for their children.Parents,schools,society...WAKE UP! For each positive these phones exude there are 50 negatives(speaking).Isn't it enough you have porno of their cells? Isn't it enough you've come to allow group beatings with parents joining in? When our children are running(ruining)this country greater than politics has been doing,"YOU" are in trouble. Hopefully,I'll be gone by then! Wishes to All!

Hi all!Been so busy w/ gardens haven't been able to chat.My plants are growing very nicely,we've been having leaf lettuce for a couple weeks.I've Windflowers standing tall and our White Roses are blooming madly.Did some Nature Art w/ a Mulberry Tree thru the yrs. formed an sunburst,or maybe it's a female/male symbol,kind of neat.Stop by and take a look.For natural art mulberry and ash are favorites.Try taking three/four young branches and braiding together,better yet,use seperate trees about 6' apart and you can make a natural arch.In about five years cut both ends from ground level,so beautiful!Got an excellent jump this year.Most of my seedlings took well.Chek w/ u later. Wishes...
