Her blog makes it clear that she is very busy lately: http://northokanagandaily.blogspot.com/
Hopefully she'll find time to check here.
Barb, we miss you!

Man oh man, I miss those email notifications :?

My mom was in hospital with a kidney stone attack, she's doing great now considering her age and what she went through.

Why does time fly in summer, and drag in winter
:lol: :lol: :lol:

The turbine is finally up and running again after 2 mos and 4 days downtime when we blew an inverter.
Investigation still going on as to what the heck happened to cause it.

I ignored my inground Trachy for nearly 2 weeks, will post a pic tomorrow.

thanks again guys!

Thanks folks, very nice of you.

Good analogy, John! :D

Raced over to take new photos of the inground palm today when I had some time.
Uploaded onto Flickr photo site only to discover they've changed a whole whack of stuff that I can't understand, and my photos won't load.
:twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

I'm old enough to ask "why are changes made (to anything) if they're not better than what was there before?"
Just venting!
GRRRRRR! :lol:

Thanks Heidi, Jack and Jim...

Sounds like everyone's having a great summer, despite record-breaking heat in some areas.
Plants sure love it.

My dear ole mom's amazing, Heidi!

Doc said the surgery had gone extremely well, and both stones were removed intact with "a tiny basket" in the bladder.
Then two weeks later she received a local to get the "little basket" removed, but had to take her to a different hospital for that.
Round trip was 6 hours.
Would've waited longer for her to have that removed at our local hospital.
Good ole' wait lists.

I'd be happy with half her stamina.
Thanks for asking.

So relieved for you!

There are a bunch of other folks who haven't had notifications in ages, either.
Think we even did a topic on it?!?

Everyone will be so pleased Jay! :D
I am.

Barb
Now I feel BAD, I was blaming the Firefox updates for the snafu. Oh well. :twisted:

Yeah, It was a security setting in the server that I changed because I guess it was against
the "rules" for certain email providers. That's why some were receiving email notifications and
others weren't.

Well, it should be good now. 8)

Got some nice pics of Vegas desert (or casinos, ha ha) for a new thread?

Thanks John, Unfortunately we didn't make it to any nurseries. I wanted to rent a Porsche for the day and cruise around
but my wife didn't think that was a good idea. :)
