Hey Dsieber: First off thank you and I am so happy you escaped another disaster. Boy, I have yet to see a storm like that, although I did almost witness a tornado a few weeks back. My friend lost her house completely and all her citrus trees:-( I am happy for you this time around:-) As for coffee grounds, They work short term, then after a short period of time can turn your mix into cement, clog it up,fill in all the porous spaces your roots are thriving from, throw off the perfect balance of your fertilizer, and then suffocate your roots, especially in winter. I have been there and done that along with many other friends. I have killed a many citrus tree and gardenias with this method. That is the experience I have had with them since I had all the access to coffee grinds when my the girl I dated worked at Dunkin Donuts. Now I use them for my compost pile and my garden, especially my roses as your Mom does, you mom is good and I bet her roses are beautiful. The worms come along for sure and also help with great looking flowers:-) If you should decide to use them, I hope they do well for your trees. Who knows, you may be an exception to the rule.:-) Have a great night and we shall catch up soon. It's back to Americas Got Talent! Mike

I couldn't agree with Parma more-- I am clapping wildly hahah. I was looking at a smith bros sofa when I bought my leathercraft sofa. I am so sorry that I didn't buy the smith bros. I swear it was the most comfy thing my bum had ever touched! It's all about how they make their cushions--the "sit" is firm but sooo soft and comfy. I didn't need the sales pitch or cut-away cushion to sell me... I knew I loved it the minute I sat in it. I can't really give you a price range since I was looking at a leather sectional.. but do check them out. I have seen SO many deals on high quality sofas since I bought my sofa in April. Furniture stores are struggling and offering good deals-- maybe it is different in your area but it would not be difficult to get something really nice for under 2000.

Up until last night, I would have voted for Prince Poppycock. I love the way he jazzes up the Opera image. He made Opera fun for me. Last night was boring in comparison to his other performances. I don't think Piers should have buzzed him but I can understand why he did it. I like Michael Grimm but singers are a dime a dozen. I do like the type of songs that he sings...very refreshing. I didn't know he was so far along in his career either. Jackie's performance last night was spectacular. She sang a song we all know. I love her voice but I really am not an opera fan. I do agree she is far to young and she is already a star. Defying Gravity is good, but we have seen this kind of act in Ontario before, actually for many years now. They just take it up to a higher level. I already knew how it was done so it wasn't really that spectacular to me. I wouldn't have put them through to the finals. If you didn't know, yes then I can see where people would be thrilled with this act. It is the type of show that I could see in Vegas but if I had to choose a show in Vegas, I would choose Poppycock hoping that he would do more spoofs and keep the fun in his Opera acts.

Wasn't she the winner of "America's Top Dog?" When Gomer said that yes she was, Barnaby mentioned that he is a scout for "America's Got Talent" and he would love to have Margie on next year's show. Well, Gomer got so excited, he was stuttering and stammering and grabbed Barnaby's hand and shook till it almost fell off. Barnaby gave Gomer his card and said that he would get in touch with him for an audition. Gomer grabbed Margie and they jumped in "My Mother the Car" and he was telling Margie about all the the things they were going to do if they won. In the meantime he had to work on some new tricks for the show.
