Oh and don't go trying to pass off coral as orange...I want Auburn Orange!!!! I will let you slide with BLUE jeans...not gray jeans, but Blue Jeans......hehehehehehehehe

And for those of you that have no clue what we are talking about it is the Auburn vs Alabama game. Alabama pitched a hissy fit about putting one second back on the clock so he could get his field goal squad on the field. The officials gave him that second & the field goal kicker kicked the ball right into the hands of an Auburn player and he ran it 100 yards for a touchdown to win the game 34 to 28!!!!!

a follow-up to Laura's "not-AG" post--how to handle?
Q

I wish every seller eBay or website could read this whole posting. I plan in my future to sell plumeria and I'm reading and understanding what is being said here! Good Lessons, respect, ethics and care. Either your in it because you are passionate about what you do or it becomes "Old Hat"...."It's a Job" mentality. If I grow a cutting and intend to sell it as a rooted cutting, it must spend more than 10 months in a pot and hopefully a year to establish good root growth. Sounds like they might be forcing them to root fast to sell? Also it could be possible that a mix in cuttings before the sale was offered on eBay ( Still no excuse! ) Reputation and Customer Relations is so very important especially when it comes to selling something so unique as plumeria and tropical flowering plants! As a Seller (of plumeria) you must remember: #1 Your Plumeria are always remembered where they came from long after the purchase! *Especially if it came from Hawaii for Pete Sake!!! #2 Build a reputation that increases sales to a level you can maintain. ( Ship exactly what you are selling ) #3 Take Pride build a relationship become a mentor of your passion. ( Look for ways to help your buyer become more knowledgeable about their purchase ) #4 Photograph current flowers from the plant the cutting came from ( I'm so appreciative seeing a photo of the cutting before it is shipped!!!) #5 Respond to all calls / emails! ( Listen to your Customers ) From everyone's responses to this post, it sounds like the seller has been at it for years and has lost some of their passion for what made them into who and what they are today. Customers will always find a better place to shop! Thank you all very much! I mean that! Stuart @ Tropic7Plumeria

Sounds like you have everything ready for the start of your new seedlings !! You will do fine sowing these babies!! It's been a while since I sent them to you, but I'm sure mist of them are still viable.. Some soak the seeds before sowing, but I usually just keep them moist ( not wet) and you should have no problem!! I did some hand pollination and I see a new seedpod forming on my Jackie Here is the mother tree... Then the seedpod forming last week. Keep me posted and if those seed aren't viable since its been some time, I'll send you some of these babies!! Thank you.. So nice to see you post!! Xo hi Mizraim!! Where are you located??

LOL! Whoops!

Iowa State had a big come from behind triple overtime win tonight - must be some kind of football mojo going on!!!

Bad mojo-Wisconsin totally sucked balls. Maybe now the coach will get rid of that excuse for a quarterback. Sounds like a really exciting ending to your game-I was too sad to watch any more football after our embarassing game.

It's all about sportmanship!

Alabama has been on top for a while, so it was TIME for them to fall. Saban is an awesome coach, but Auburn was SOMETHING, and a heart stopper at the end.

I'm a Bama graduate and not a sore loser.

Don't feel bad, Glenda. Auburn did that to Georgia too.

Glenda & I are just playing with eachother...I would have taken my lumps and wore red & white if the game had gone the other way. The rivalry between Auburn & Alabama goes back 78 years and it is for bragging rights for the rest of the year til they play again..Auburn's coach took a losing team and turned them around this year. Last year was a losing year, so we fired our coach & hired Gus Malzahn who in one season took a ragtag team and turned them into winners. We are going to the GA Dome next week to play for the SEC Championship against Mizzou

We watched the game....not gung ho fans of the teams but live in Alabama. What a game.....holy cow (to quote one of the announcers)!!

In one fell swoop, Bama toppled for the year. I'm sure that they will rebound next season.....IF Sabin sticks around. Seems like, when the goin' gets tough, he gets goin'. He's a remarkable coach, that's for sure.

But we have been super impressed with Auburn this year. They seem to have the football mojo, luck, faerie dust this season.

Glenda, you are a great sport!! Try to find some orange orange nail polish. Wear a nice navy sweater...with your hair coloring, I would think that you would look fabulous in navy. But I expect that navy and orange socks and other novelty apparel will be every where.

Glenda, I have an Auburn tee shirt somewhere--or would that just be too much?

Laura, what happened to Ohio State? Thought they would be in the SEC game?? Did they lose yesterday?

Ohio State won their last game of the season. They were ranked as the number 3 team in the country, and would have been just out of the National Championship game. They needed either the number 1 team (Alabama) or the number 2 team (Florida State) to lose to have a shot at the National Championship Game. So a big congratulations and thanks to Auburn for a thrilling victory, and for allowing the Bucks to have a shot at playing in the Championship Game.

Go Bucks.

We were laughing at lunch today about Auburn's victory over Alabama and how AL had fought for that second to be added to the clock.
