Ah the far side, a good laugh is needed each and everyday. Thanks for the history I learned something.

Very nice a beautiful flower for a spring wedding, I love the hydrangea theme, the invitations are wonderful.

God Speed!

Perhaps my counter attack will start tomorrow!

Those that got out in the first round, and not relied on others saying that it would be OK in the end, were the wise ones. Once bitten, twice shy I say. I've stopped writing there altogether. The hubs that are of any use will be transferred as soon as I have the time and inclination - it is so demotivating, and depressing, though when a piece of you is ailing. I'm afraid a mere aspirin will not alleviate the symptoms. An all out (military) operation is needed, in the field hospital, and it won't be pleasant!

You are not alone sir, I to have many eggs in that basket, and as many I to am frustrated to say the least.
Thanks for everything, Mike

My pleasure

Having a vegetable garden in a small yard with lots of shade is doable. Just select several small sites around the back and front yard where a few veggies will grow.
Companion planting is a great way to controll pests, and offer a bit of a surprise. Especially when we plant a couple tomatoe plants in a flower bed that recieves direct sun the biggest part of the day.
Dustytoes, best of luck in the garden, and thanks for stopping by, Mike

You miss nothing, Mike. It is my problem that I have my eggs there. I have to unpick all of the cardigan I have knitted. It will take time an effort. It has to be done carefully. It has to be planned. Whilst the beast is alive I can still milk it. All is not lost yet. It is my quandry to solve. Others may not have the same quandry.

Thank you kind sir.

Well stated, my quandry however is to use the wounded animal analogy. The wounded animal devotes it's energies to survival, regainging it's formal glory.
From all accounts HP is taking actions that are counter productive to it regaining it's formal standing in search engine rankings, or is that a misunderstanding?.
To my way of thinking, which may be in error i grant you. Never the less. How will being affiliated with a site in the sand box have a positive impact on one's ranking, more to the point credibility, what am I missing?
Thanks for everything.

You've just encapsulated, in a nutshell, my thoughts on the matter. It's also the fact that these big corporations want to be the gatekeepers of creativity.

Hear, hear, brlamc!

As a genealogist, I love that the IGI exists, but that story just made me cringe. Simon Wiesenthal and Elie Wiesel are both famously Jewish, so it certainly goes against the 1995 agreement between the two religions to have them on the list.

Thank you kinworm and Brenda. Hydrangeas are so pretty, it's hard to go wrong with this theme.
