Hey Marian - glad you could make it. I agree, nice and simple to just shoot the breeze. Wasn't that the most awful color before?? Blick. Obviously, a colorblind guy came up with that. And, like you, I prefer no background color at all. Stupid format. Stupid, stupid. But they paid for it and are going to keep it. Hopefully it'll get better and we can take our party back over there. In the meantime, I'm going to open a wine cooler and kick my shoes off. Hmmm...where's the "save" button?

Hola, I am here.
The new format reminds me of what has happened in some of the magazines...a lot of white space. I have carpal tunnel too bad to scroll that much.

Do you have a wrist brace? I started to realize that I was harming my wrist, so I got one. Made all the difference in the world. 'Course I misplaced it about a week ago and can't figure out what I did with it. My wrist is now telling me I'd better find it or replace it.
Anyway, welcome! feel free to chime in the most minimal of thoughts to people we see there's actually people hanging around. No need to keep it to gardening. Hopefully this place will give us a place to chill while we wait to see if they can salvage the mess they made. If I had to hang around and wait for it to get better, I'd quit entirely since it's certainly not fun now.

Hey Jeana, today you've sprouted! Maybe if I keep at it I'll get to be a sprout someday too.
Bert made me a small fenced enclosure at the back of the greenhouse for the garage garden. It's supposed to rain, then ice or snow, today so I probably can't get any photos til tomorrow, but I'll try to play with photo posting after I get them.

And you've become seedy!
Oooh, a fence in enemy territory. That's almost as good as a greenhouse cathedral. Do you have stuff you overwinter outside? I guess that's a silly question - I found anthropological evidence to suggest that you had plants outside for several winters.

I made it over here. Man, the Taunton boards are horrible!! If you think the Fence is bad, CT is even worse. Pale orange font that we can barely see. Ugh.
Hey, Jeana, I noticed Roxanne posted on the Fence asking you for the link over to here? But, since they no longer have e-mail notification, you might not have seen it. Can I send it to her?

Karma, thumbs, and whatnot...
As God (Changed my name to Gord 'cause that was laying it on a little thick) I get to decide who gets what designation. Ok Not really, but...
Your status (Brown thumb, seed, etc.) depends on your post count. Post a lot and you get promoted.
Jeana's Karma is from me. Below the Karma count are 2 buttons - I think they are promote and smite, I forget. Anyway, if someone gives a particularly good answer, you can promote them. If they give a really bad one, smite baby, smite.
here's the thing, after I promoted Jeana, I lost the ability to promote/smite her, and I can't revoke her karma. Even as admin. Use the buttons wisely.

I was gonna post in the Stratosphere folder, but couldn't figure out how to get it going. Stoopid I guess. To start a new thread, there is a button for "start a new thread" original eh!) in the blue bar at the top of th eforum folder. If you are in a message (like now) it won't be there. You have go up one level to th elist of messages, and then the button will be there. Just for kicks, scroll to th etop of this thread. Where the button that says "send topic to a friend" is, is the location you need to look at when you click on the "stratospheric" folder. There you will see the start new post button.

Jeana, I told him the enclosure has to be deer, rabbit, vole, and weed proof. It's pretty stout looking, but I'm going to keep a sharp eye out for glickweed. I figure eventually I may put a cold frame in there, so when the top is open critters won't be able to climb in. Since he's on a roll, is there anything else I want built? Suggestions welcome from all comers.
Gord/Dag, again, I'm so sorry I accidentally smited you -- but I did return you to neutral the first chance I got. I've learned my lesson and will be more careful in the future.

i'm not quite sure how this all works yet, specifically how to reply to a certain post, but this reply is for Karen. I am really happy for you with your new playspace, but I have to admit to a teeny tiny bit of jealousy too. I won't get to use my greenhouse again for about four months now. Keep sharing what is going on in there to give the rest of us our fix.

I get the message and replied to it - I hope she got it. If you have her address, please do see if she got the link.
I bet the cooks are fit to be tied - or fit to tie up the admins, put them on a spit and slow roast them with a black pepper and rosemary rub.

Oh wow, I'm the only one with karma? Ha! I better not laugh to loud since everybody will give each other karma and I'll just be one of the flock again.
