Beautiful, Cora! Thanks for sharing. BTW, in your first post, you copied the wrong code. When you hover your cursor over the thumbnail on Photobucket, four codes will pop up. Copy the one for HTML. It's the 3rd one down. (You copied the one that said IMAGE, 4th one down.) Paste it into your message, and when you hit "Preview" on GW, you should see the photo in place, before you hit "Post." That way, you know you have copied the correct one. Hope all the pups stay fat and healthy, and you find good homes for each. They are lovely! Marcia

thanks, tishtosh. I'll go find it -- I'm in your DH's uncle's group so maybe it's newbieproof :) And lyfia, may I ask where you live? Because there are plenty of *perennial* plants that yield edibles without much watering at all. It might sound weird, but it's really just as easy as planting, say, blueberry plants or whatever is native in your area, and letting them grow because they're adapted to the particular climate, and harvesting their fruits. It's a little something, and it's not something that yields fruits immediately, but it's sure worth it. We got a summer's worth of fresh blueberries for cereal every day (and then some) from our plants. Same with berry canes. They *like* to grow, don't need that much water, etc. *in our climate* So if you can tell us what climate you're in, area of the country, we can find out what plants are native and will pay you dividends without much investment. And do you get rain? If so, you can collect water from the roof downspouts in barrels (really inexpensive via craigslist - we got four that way) and use it to water your plants. I LOVE using harvested water :)

I love Netflix also. We have the unlimited two at a time plan. They have a plan that's $5, but there's a limit of two DVD's for the month. Ours is like Jodi's. We can get as many as we want during the month. The only restriction is that we can't have more than two at home at a time. The shipping is fast. Usually I send a movie off & they receive it & ship a new one in 1-2 days. If we watch both movies on a weekend & send them back on Mon. we have two new ones in plenty of time for the next weekend. Our plan is $14/month. We sometimes watch two movies on a Sat. night. If we were renting or using pay per view on the cable that would be close to $10, so I think the Netflix is a pretty good deal. We been subscribing for a year & it's been a really good experience. I also like that you can add movies to your que before they're released. It will just add it with a note of when it's expected to be released on DVD. There is no extra postage; all fees are included in your monthly charge. It's a really great service. We also rent movies sometimes from Redbox. At $1/night, it's pretty good if you're just not in the mood for one of the Netflix movies you have. Redbox seems pretty popular & movies vary per location. You can go online to reserve them, but it's a little hit-or-miss. Still a good deal if they have something you want. We got one that was scratched & I went online & reported it on their website. Within a couple of days they had removed the charge from our debit card. There are a lot of websites where you can get coupons. I just found some for $1 off two cans of Progresso soup. Wal-Mart price is $1.25/can. That leaves me with a final price of $0.75/can. These are manufacturers' coupons so they should be good anywhere. Couponmom.com is a good site. You can also buy coupons on ebay. The seller charges a small fee to clip them. Like with most things, you have to check the details. If it's a lot of coupons for something you only use occasionally & the expiration date is close, it may not be worth even the small clipping fee. Be sure to check the expiration date & make sure to see that it's a manufacturer coupon or one that's good in a store you have nearby. If you're looking to save money, I've found that buying bread at the bakery thrift store is a good way to do that. I like Nature's Own, which is nearly $3/loaf even in Wal-Mart. My thrift store usually has it for $1.80 buy one get one free, so I get it for around $0.90/loaf.
