I guess I am circulating in the wrong places -- I got NONE. What can I do to change this?

How can "Gardeners" be impatient? Isn't it awesome just to get a super deal for an item in this economy? Why get frustrated at waiting for a manager to get you a killer price on a plant or any discounted item... I mean, really? Why allow a few extra minutes of wait time ruin finding a great plant deal? I don't understand that stance... It is not logical to me, a gardener, to be impatient about ANYTHING. Life is to short as it is and when it comes to saving a few bucks... I have all the time in the world!

Trivial obversation about email spam

This thread is a reminder to include a spyware detector to your computer maintenance programs. Almost every computer, even with a firewall, is going to be infected with all manner of spyware including keystroke trojans,tracking cookies,trojans that examine your virus ware protected wastebaskets,etc. It's very easy to get phone numbers,pins,passwords with spyware. I never go one entire week without finding spyware. There have been some interesting articles written on spyware and virus tools and it's been said that not ONE program will do it all for you. In testing these products, they found that one program, for instance, would find 98% of the threats but then had to use other programs to find all of them. It was said that you would have to use 30 programs to find all of them. Gosh---the evil people of the world give us no chance at all. So I guess what I'm saying that it might be a good idea to have a different spyware program than your virus protection which may have a spyware product with it. Just so that, AT LEAST, you're scanning with 2 different products that might find the majority of the spyware. Stay safe out there.

What kind of baloney is this, " ... even if they are boys."!!!! Good wishes to all for a wonderful post-Easter season. joyful guy/Ed P.S. Dad had three sons - that helped with farm work when hired men all gone to World War II. Mom was sick in hosp. (schizo) from when I was 5 or 6 - Grandma (serious curvature of spine) and hired help operated our home. I remember once him and a neighbour who lived in the nearby village - and who had three daughters - commisserating with one another as to whose parental life was more difficult. This discussion taking place in our farmyard. Enjoy your week, folks - approach each day with anticipation and expectation. Something new to learn each day - even for old farts like us. joyful guy/Ed

I get a lot of specials offered from them, deeper discounts, closeouts, free shipping.... I've never received unsolicited mail from any of the other companies they mention sharing with.

Here's an example, last post here with the picture. This showed up on dozens of threads today. Must have missed this one, so fruitjarfla can report it. Be sure to include anna19892013's name and url of the page.
