    Anyone interested in fantasy fiction?

    Welp, it's been a while. The first draft has been completed since the end of September and I am currently 75% of the way through my first edit. Thanks to all who've red and offered opinions. November, the first 10 chapters, edited, will be available for "beta testing". If you're interested...

    Blue Orchid?

    Awesome, I'd love to see what they look like from a "home grower" posting honest pics, rather than overly flattering or photoshopped images.

    USPS Follies . . .

    My best involved corals. Oh, they were marked correctly. But FedEx took it upon themselves to deliver to a completely different number, on a completely dfferent street, in a completely different town, where they left all 3 boxes in the un-airconditioned hallway of an apartment building. I...

    Anyone interested in fantasy fiction?

    I am currently about 50% through the first draft of a novel. Would anyone be interested in reading the first four chapters and letting me know what they think? You can find them here: http://mysite.verizon.net/vze174u1v/

    HELP calling all comp. geeks

    Without more specifics, if this is Windows Vista upwards, many operations that behave in this manner can be resolved if you right-click and choose "Run as Administrator".

    Blue Orchid?

    BINGO! Good catch swords, nice to see that I wasn't wrong, that's them EXACTLY. Cheers for that. Now the Vandas, they're beautiful, and blue, but !HOLY CARP! on the price tag. I guess if you're an orchid guy $150 is probably not all that bad. But, being a CP and bonsai guy who looks mostly...

    Blue Orchid?

    While doing some garden shopping at Home Depot today, we saw Blue Orchids. Our first words, literally, were, "those can't be real, can they?" Of course, the florr guy said immediately that they were and that they were not dyed. Upon close inspection of the unopened blooms, it was readily...

    Shipping costs

    I rarely argue over shipping on e-bay. I understand time, packaging, etc, and wanting to recoup e-bay fees (especially if the auction ends low). But, some sellers are completely ridiculous. For instance, I contacted a seller about combining shipping on 7 bonsai starts, mostly in 3 or 4" pots...

    General consumer LED lights

    I haven't looked into them recently. Last I looked, the Solaris systems would have taken me something like 5 years to recover the cost versus a MH/PC combo fixtures replacing the MHs every 6-9 months and the PCs every 9-12 months. Like I said, they CAN grow plants, but the initial outlay is...

    General consumer LED lights

    T5HOs are more widely available and cheaper, initially to purchase. There ARE high-end LED units that ARE capable of supporting plant growth. These units, however are MUCH, MUCH more expensive. I worked it out a few years ago and it would have taken me YEARS to make up the cost difference in...
