I am referring to specifically Yahoo! Chat. It amuses me no end when people (stopped myself from typing mature people, even though some are in the 30's and 40's!) become a wee bit territorial in rooms, treating the regulars in the room as theirs too?? Love (or lust?) blossoms between people who in real life are married and these same people see it fit to intimidate others who show the slightest bit of interest in their .. er.. partner? I find all this highly amusing of course. These people can surely rival the lives of the oh-so-entertaining women in Wisteria Lane!! For the uninitiated, I am undoubtedly referring to the ever titillating lives of the women in 'Desperate Housewives'.
So.. what have you done in Chat lately??
To what extent does Yahoo!, take Yahoo! Chat for instance, immitate real life?
I had this happen just tonight. Two girls I was chatting with got into a fight over me (which NEVER happens in real life), and I had only met them that night.
The only explanation that I can offer is that the chat is it's own world with it's own rules. While you can't control another person's actions in reality, you have NO control whatsoever over the other people in the chat.
It is simply too easy to become infatuated with somebody when all you see are their carefully thought out comments. But with this infatuation comes the insecurity of knowing that you could lose that person in an instant. It's a very difficult situation that escalates feelings of helplessness and insecurity.
The result is the situation you've described.

Do you think NejiTen is a good Naruto pairing?
Just asking xDD It makes me want to throw up, for some reason. I just really, really don't like the thought of Tenten and Neji together.
Buuut, that's probably because my friend Wisteria keeps making me write Fuji-Neji fanfictions.. (Fuji is my OC based on her)
YOUR OPINIONS, PEOPLE? xD
Do you think NejiTen is a good Naruto pairing?
My opinion would be that it's a possibility. They're teammates, they know each other, why not? Of course, the same argument could be made for Lee/Ten or Neji/Lee. However, some may argue Neji and Tenten like each other because of the recent episodes of Shippuuden, after they escaped the water trap ("Are you alright?", etc.) NejiTen fans rejoice at these moments. I say that he's concerned for her as a friend... he's not heartless after all. He cares for her as a fellow teammate and friend. Love interest? Maybe. We'll see, right?
Asking about Naruto pairings is pretty bad... I always have these triangles because I can never decide, like Naru/Saku/Sasu... but that's another story ^__^.
Reply:That one doesn't work very well..... Try TenTen and Kiba and Neji and....?????
Reply:I think, TenTen should be with Rock Lee,Neji is for her too serious...
Reply:Neji and Ten Ten... No I don't think that would work. How about NejiSaku?
Reply:No. I think tenten and naruto would work better as neji is too dominant and that only leads to tenten just backing down becoming even weaker.
Naruto would be a better partner as naruto is all action and bravery to the extreme and tenten is the opposite.
He is very supportive of others and so would help her get out of her shell.
Reply:Bleah! No! well that's my opinion... I like Tenten and Neji... But together... No...
Reply:I think it is a good pairing and atm probably the most likely pairing in the anime after watching team gai fighting in shippuuden. There probably closer to each other than any other male and female but this isnt one of my favourite pairings anyways. Coz TenTen doesn't have much of a unique personality to make her stand out. But I think its a good pairing :)
Reply:same here
i don't like nejitenten pair either
i rather see neji sakura
Reply:neji and ten ten.... (thinking hard)... maybe... i would like to see neji be pair up with rock lee though.. (lol) that will be hilarious !

Pond snails?
Well I have 2 dwarf puffers in a 5 gallon tank. I also have a 10 gallon community tank which seems to be getting some pond snails (I added some wisteria and hornwort about a week or two ago) I guess my question is how often do these guys breed, and do they do any damage to an aquarium. If they don't I will keep them so I can feed them periodically to my dwarf puffers. Thanks for any help or advice you can give.
Pond snails?
I assume you have a lot of plants in your 5 gallon Puffer tank (either live or fake). If you don't already, you may want to add some Hornwort to your 5 gallon tank (you can simply cut 1-2 inches off the top of the Hornwort you already have and plant it elsewhere), and add as many Pond Snails as you can to the Puffer tank. Let the snails breed in the 5 gallon so you have a snail breeding factory. If you do this, you should have the Puffers eating the baby snails at a rate similar to the rate of snails born. Adding about 10 snails to the 5 gallon should be ample for your purposes. The Pond Snails ~could~ overtake your 10 gallon tank, but as long as you don't massively overfeed your fish, you shouldn't have issues with overpopulating... Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

Reply:first, puffers eat snails. also, pond snails are bad for aquariums because they have miniscule babies that get caught up in the filters. stick with plecostomi.
Reply:Snails can breed real quickly, maybe faster than your puffers can eat them. If they poop too much it adds to the bio-load. And they may have carried over undesirable parasites %26amp; micro organisms to infect your fish. Just watch first %26amp; be ready to start removing if they cause any problems.
Reply:Hi if its the stagnalis snail pointy shell then there going to lay eggs all over the tank roundish orange batches and seem to like real tank plants can be hard to kill them all .If you looking for a snail with no problems in a tank go for the trapdoor snail live young and only 5 or 6 baby's at a time twice a year and no eating your plants just algae hope it helps.

Did anyone see Desperate housewives last nite?
I'm real confused about whats going on. Is this the last episode of the season or is it cause of the writers strike. Also what do you all think is going to happen? I dont even see there being a Wisteria Lane anymroe cause all the houses's are gone. Theres gonna have to be a new streeet name, lol and did her family die? Cause i know they were in the basement but she was screaming at the end as if they were dead. Any opinions?
Did anyone see Desperate housewives last nite?
the show has stopped production because of the writers strike...when the strike is over, they will get back to writing/producing the show...until then we just have 2 wait...darn...last nite's episode was so good...
Reply:Hi! yes i did watch the show last night,i'am pretty confused to about they endding,the hole story line last night was about friendship,they made it look like they died but i dont think they did,they showed her screaming and running towards the house,nothing left,but i think that there just trapped in the basement,with everything pilled over it,i hope!!!but i heard that someones's husband dyes not sure who,but i think will find out that the kids and the cat are safe.

Reply:They said some one was going to lose a husband.Gabby's husband had a wooden stake in him so I assume it was him.Yes I don't know how Wisteria lane will exist.Hopefully we will have the answers soon.ABC won't let this show go away with the consistant high rateings this show gets.We may have to wait awhile but it will continue.
Reply:yeah it was intense. and to the person above it was victor who died, since he was still gabby's husband.
Reply:OMG, it was the best episode of the season. Yeah, the tornado really destroyed Wisteria Lane and it will never look the same. However, I don't expect the drama to stop. It was difficult watching Lynette at the end screaming, because she lost her home. Hopefully, she didn't lose family, as she has had enough to deal with. I was amazed at how nuts her neighbor was, going after a cat during a major storm. She very well may have paid for making a stupid move. Shockingly, it was good to see Gabrielle and Edie come together after what seemed like endless bickering and fighting. Maybe having experienced this disaster might teach them to be better people and be nice towards one another. Carlos and Victor were in a major fight, all because of Gabrielle. They both pretty much physically destroyed one another. However, the tornado may have done more damage to them than they did to each other. I don't expect the Victor to survive, but I think Carlos may make it. It's anybody's guess. When the show returns, there is no telling how things will change, but I don't expect anyone to be the same, ever again.
Best episode of the show, so far.
Reply:it was super exciting!. i dont think they would kill her family. so they are probably OK. i cant wait to see what happens next
Reply:idk! it was soo intense i am dying! i really don't think it is the last episode of the season.....i hope not. I think they should rebuild wysteria lane because it wouldn't be the same if it was called, say, "Tulip Lane"
Reply:I saw an interview with Marc Cherry that said that the one new ladies house was the only one actually demolished when filming.

Aeration in a planted aquarium?
I just wanted to know if its wise to turn on the air pump during the night and turning it off a few mins after the aquarium lights come on. I read from a few websites that an airpump is usually not needed in a planted tank but at the same time i saw that plants take in oxygen during the night.
I have always used an airpump in my aquariums so not having it on during the day makes me feel iffy about whether or not the fishes in my tank can stand without it. Need some answers please!
my tank specs:
40gallons,
17w(generic flourescent that says to be emitting 90w of light) + 20w(powerglo) aquarium lights,
eheim canister filter,
airpump 802,
heater,
normal gravel,
a piece of driftwood.
PLANTS:
3 large amazons,
couple of stems of wisteria,
loose narrow leaf java fern (some are branching out little ones),
a small amount of java moss.
FISH:
2 discus,
2 angels,
1 cory,
1 pleco.
Aeration in a planted aquarium?
java moss will do the job by itself no problem once you have some decent sized clumps growing. java fern and java moss can grow under just about any condition so you can just drop them in and forget about them. the same goes with any of the anubias family of plants. all the plants you mentioned are fine with extra air if you are worried about your fish.
Reply:I wouldn't worry about the O2 level at night, however it doesn't hurt to have the air pump on either. To make things easier, I would just leave it on all the time if you feel it needs to be on. My concern with your tank would be that you don't have a lot of lighting for a planted tank. You are pushing not even 1 watt per gallon. This is considered by most to be quite low. Yes I do know it is fluorescent. With your tank I would run a minimum of 80 watts of 6700 degree fluorescent lighting.
Reply:Actually you do not have to turn it off. Let it run. This will not harm your plants oryour fish. It isn't needed, but it is always nice to have the extra O2 in your tank.
Reply:I think you're fine. Go to a dedicated aquarium store, and find the guy with the biggest beard and the biggest line of people! If you can find one of these guys, they will absolutely love to talk to you about your fish and your setup, even if you don't buy anything.
Not many fish vets out there. But they do exist...

Did anyone see desperate houswives last night?
I cant believe that all of Wisteria lane was destroyed
Did anyone see desperate houswives last night?
What a great episode! I was so mad that they didn't show scenes from next week! I want to know if Lynette's family is okay, and if Carlos is dead! I am glad that Victor is dead (the piece of fence went right through him) because he served no purpose really. That lady that was in Bre's bathroom was nuts, but hilarious. I wonder how they will make the set look in the following weeks..will it still be destoryed or will it be fixed up a litte...?
Reply:While i enjoyed that episode, i was upset that they killed off the family, and i am mad that they STILL won't say what happened to dylan, and why she can't remember!
Reply:Apparently it's not on next week. I was wondering if that's the last new show "in the can" till after the writers strike is over. If it is they left us with one whopper of a cliff hanger that's for sure. I think Lynettes family will be okay - they may have one die but if her whole family is wiped out there goes a lot of storyline for her. Carlos will be okay is my feeling. They got rid of Gabby's new hubby to pave the way for her and Carlos to get back together in some way or another. Actually I am going to google DH spoilers right now and see what I can find out.
There are all kinds of DH spoilers on google. Dec. 9, 16, and 23 shows are all preempted. There is one more show that has been filmed but it is not known when it will air according to this one site.
And supposedly Carlos comes out of all this paralyzed. Didn't say permanently or not. I'd guess 'or not' myself.
Reply:i loved the eppy. last year they had a show kinda like this one, a cliffhanger, and they didnt show scenes for the next week, and it just kinda ended until january or something.
Reply:omg that's gonna take forever to recover. i really can't believe lynette's situation, i would just about die. i'm super excited for next week - i really wanna see what happens!
Reply:I can't believe it either. I'm upset about the cliffhanger that they left.

Strange seeds.......?
I am in the process of getting 5 wisteria seeds ready to plant. Instructions suggest to soak the seeds in water for at least 24 hours, then plant. the seeds are soaking and 3 are at the bottom looking normal (?), 1 is at the bottom with stuff coming out of it (looks like a hard-boiled egg that has been cracked), and the other is floating. does anyone know what's wrong with the 2 seeds?
Strange seeds.......?
One is growing and the other is dead. Toss out the floating one; it is empty.
Reply:they are growing big so just water them 3 times a day morining afternoon and night that would work perfectly fine hope this helps

Garden disease help!?
Last year, my clematis suddenly died. I thought maybe I'd simply run through it with the lawnmover so didn't think again. Then a huge pink lavatera in the same place drooped and died. This year a nearly wisteria has not come into leaf and neitehr has a himalayan honeysuckle about 5 metres away. What is going on and how can I stop it?
Garden disease help!?
It's honey fungus soil disease.It usually starts at some old tree stump and it threads it's way around other shrubs roots sucking out all it's nutrients.
The chemical that worked is now banned by the EU due to non bio-degrading in soil.
Nothing you can do except look up what plants are immune to the fungus and plant those.
If you want to persevere,than remove dead plant with all roots.Pour Amarillox over area 2/3 times.Then disenfectant a couple of times,then fresh bag of soil and replant.
Reply:Hi:
There could be several reasons why your plants are dying.
1. The soil could be missing some important nutrients
2. You could have some form of insect around the garden area, that keep infesting your plants.
3. You may have a fungus that are getting on your plant specimens.
Check any other plants in the area. Look underneath the leaves to see if there are signs of insects, (mites or aphids) or if there is a powdery substance. This could be a sign of a fungus. If you see anything like this and can't identify it, take a leaf off and bring it to a local nursery or garden center for them to identify.
Consider having your soil tested for the lack of certain nutrients. I hope this helps some. I will link you to the simple solutions section of my website. Browse through and see if you can find any other information that may be helpful to you. I will also link you to the site map, as this page has everything that is on the website. You may be able to find some additional information as well as tips and techniques. Good luck to you and have a great day!

Garden disease help!?
It's honey fungus soil disease.It usually starts at some old tree stump and it threads it's way around other shrubs roots sucking out all it's nutrients.
The chemical that worked is now banned by the EU due to non bio-degrading in soil.
Nothing you can do except look up what plants are immune to the fungus and plant those.
If you want to persevere,than remove dead plant with all roots.Pour Amarillox over area 2/3 times.Then disenfectant a couple of times,then fresh bag of soil and replant.

Who is ur fav character in Desp Housewives and Why?
Wisteria Lane is cooking up with way more mischievous issues. I really wonder which characters managed to find his/her way into the heart of audience. We have Susan Meyer, Bree Vandekamp, Lynette, Gabrielle, Edie.
Who is ur fav character in Desp Housewives and Why?
I'm kinda fond of Lynette. The reason I like Lynette's character is because she is so down to earth and I can relate to her because her situation and choices reflect more to today's woman. She's your typical mom and wife of today, working, depressed, stressed, under pressure and yet she's able to come out on top because she's a strong minded woman. The other characters are really crazy, stupid and damned psycho, honestly they make women out to be just plain stupid. Thumps up to Lynette and Felicity Hoffman plays her part really well.
Reply:i luv all of them but my fave would be Bree because she's trying to be perfect and she's elegant. but i luv gaby's clothes
Reply:I would have to say Bree. She always keeps you guessing as to what she will do next, and I feel like a lot of women can probably relate to many of her struggles to be the "perfect" everything.

also I've always liked Susan's Daughter...
on the darker side, Andrew's always been deliciously fun to watch...
I guess I just have soo many favourites!....

Obama and Abortion
Facts
Born Alive Infants Protection Act
He voted against requiring medical care for aborted fetuses who survive.
He had a 100 percent rating from the Illinois Planned Parenthood Council for his support of abortion rights, family planning services and health insurance coverage for female contraceptives.
One vote that especially riled abortion opponents involved restrictions on a type of abortion where the fetus sometimes survives, occasionally for hours. The restrictions, which never became law, included requiring the presence of a second doctor to care for the fetus.
Abortion opponents see Obama's vote on medical care for aborted fetuses as a refusal to protect the helpless. Some have even accused him of supporting infanticide.

Lighting for natural tank ?
These are the plants I currently have in my natural 10g tank.
Java Fern
Anacharis
Vallisneria
Rotala Indica
Moneywort
Water Wisteria
Java Moss
Riccia
The tank does not receive any direct sunlight. Currently I have 1.8w per gallon fluorescent lighting, no fert, no filter. Should I up it to 3.6w per gallon or keep it at 1.8w ?
Lighting for natural tank ?
All these plants are considered low light plants, but the riccia. But 1.8 per gallon is fine to grow all of them. 3.6 wouldn't really increase growth, seeing with a different wattage each plant will have to regrow, meaning adjust to the new lighting. Alot of plant will grow different leaves than it used to have when bought.

"the bean treee" page mumbers needed?
I had to read the bean trees for an assignment. but I have a slight probelem I have two quotes with know page number or chapter number. I also need the page numbers for each chapter for example.
Chapter one pg 1 - 35
could somebody do this for me? I blind and I don't have a print copy of the book. but I have a CD version. I was able to page numbers but not chapters or vise versa. here that have nothing. just in case some on could help me.
Turtle shook her head. “Bean trees,” she said, as plainly as if she had been thinking about it all day. We looked where she was pointing. Some of the wisteria flowers had gone to seed, and all these wonderful long green pods hung down from the branches. They looked as much like beans as anything you’d ever care to eat. “Will you look at that,” I said. It was another miracle. The flower trees were turning into bean trees. (ch. 10 p. )
thanks you so much
"the bean treee" page mumbers needed?
Different editions will have the same quotes on different pages, so it's no use asking, unless you know the people answering your question have the same edition as you (or whoever was reading the book on the CD).
Are you asking for /different/ quotes? Your question isn't really clear enough.

Was it on, or was that Oprah special on instead???? The last episode I saw, a tornado hit Wisteria Lane. I had people over on this past Sunday, and they didn't leave until 11 PM. Thank you!

there was no episode on. There was a special Sunday Movie presentation that replaced it this week.

More help for my Betta with Ich?
Thanks so much for the help before with my betta!!
I did a 50% change, and added salt and more coppersafe to replace what I took out.
I have a couple more questions (sorry!)
I dont have a heater, do they make them small enough for a 2 gallon? And I live in South Texas and we turn the A/C up in the day so in the day his tank gets up to about 79-81 deg and at night it goes down to about 74. I was told this was fine for him...but does that mean I need to heat the water MORE to help cure the ich?
And I took out a decoration and scrubbed it and washed in in HOT water...should I put it back in his tank or boil it or throw it away or what? I dont want it to keep him sick.
Also, are his live plants (java moss, water wisteria and ribbon plant) ok or do I need to get rid of them and get him new ones when he is cured?
More help for my Betta with Ich?
As long as you keep everything in the tank during the treatment, you don't need to throw anything away or boil anything. The salt will kill the parasite, plain and simple.
A heater would be very helpful in controlling your Betta's environment and allowing you to keep his immune system strong with the proper temperature, but your house is technically still an "adequate" temperature for him (if it is constant). They make micro heaters for containers as small as fishbowls, so you shouldn't have too much trouble finding them....
Email me if you have any questions.
Soop Nazi
Reply:Fish are very sensitive to water temperature change so you need a heater to keep the temperature more stable. It does help to turn the heater up to around 80 degrees for a couple of days to help get rid of the Ich then turn it down to around 76 degrees and keep it there.
Reply:To really help you cure ich, i would buy a small heater (yes they make em that small) and turn up the heat to 88 degrees for at least 10 days, then turn it back down to 78-82 degrees, which is the perfect temperature for a betta to thrive
Hope that helps
good luck

Name of purple tree?
I saw these trees growing on the sides of the road on Interstate 70 as I was driving through Kansas and Missouri. They were about 20 to 30 feet tall, and they were bright purple-lilac-Wisteria colored. I searched the net for all the trees I thought it could be and ruled out the following: Wisteria, Jacaranda, Purple smoke tree, Purple orchid tree, and lilacs. The trees I just mentioned had the color of the mystery tree, but were not the tree. Can anybody please tell me what these really cool looking trees are?
Name of purple tree?
Sounds like flowering plum to me. They'll have little pink flowers that in the colder climes you are at will likely not start blooming for a few months.
They tend to get about that high after 10 years or so. At most nurseries you buy them at 4ft.
The older ones actually have small cherry sized plums, which you can eat, although they tend to be either very sweet, or very sour.
They do tend to suffer from bark beetles though. It's important to paint their trunks, and shade them.
Aside from that, care is pretty simple, and mostly involves trimming off the many side shoots that they produce.
Reply:umm, with flowering plum, the tree is purple, and the flowers are pink. Sorry if I didn't make that clear in the answer. Thanks for the ten points though. Report It
Reply:Trees were probably purple leaf plum. Hardy variety and kind of cheap. Grow quickly. You need to look out for insects as they have tender leaves and thin bark. A little maintenance and proper irrigation they do great. Make sure you get the upright version of the tree.
Reply:Maybe flowering plum?
Reply:It's probably some kind of redbud tree.

Bareroot Trees?
How do I plant a bare root tree?
*Specificly, a dormant wisteria.
Bareroot Trees?
To plant any bare root: Place your bare root plant in a bucket of water while you do the following. Dig a hole that is twice as wide and twice as deep as the plant you are planting. Amend the hole with compost and fertilizer. Make a mound in your hole. Arrange the roots of your plant over the mound so that they aim straight down. Fill in the hole with compost and soil. Water deeply!!
Now about wisteria!! Before you plant wisteria, be sure that you have a VERY STURDY structure that you are going to train your wisteria over. Wisteria is a VERY vigorous grower and gets very heavy. It needs to be trimmed back every summer. I have 4 plants growing over a very strong structure and they are very lovely every spring. They also provide lots of shade during the summer. BUT you need to stay on top of them or they WILL take over!!
Good Luck!!
Reply:I bought a dormant bareroot Wisteria cutting - 2 in fact, and just placed them in pots with Miracle Grow soil and last week they began sprouting new leaves. It took about two months though before they sprouted.

My neighbor wants to kill me. What should I do?
The problem with the body in my back (see previous post) yard will not go away. I decided the best sollution was to remove it. I delegated Anthony to take care of it. He delegated Jesus (new gardener) to take care of it. Jesus, it would appear is a rather lazy fellow, took it upon himself to simply heave it over the wisteria hedge into the neighbors yard. Unfortunatly it landed atop his prize rhododenrons. I dispatched Anthony to reason with the neighbor. After being beaten soundly about the head and shoulders by a 9 iron (could have been a 6 but Anthony was a bit addled) Anthony returned to inform me that the neighbor was going to be coming over to exact his revenge upon me. I had Jesus bring the body back but the rhododendrons seem to be the issue. I offered to have Jesus replant them to no avail. Alerting the authorities is obviously not an option. I suppose I could act proactively, but then I would have another disposal problem. What to do? What to do?
My neighbor wants to kill me. What should I do?
Tell Jesus to cash in the favor that the people from Culiacan owe him from that time he was in Bogota (he knows what I am talking about). Be sure to plan a vacation or be seen in public the day that they will be over at your neighbors house. By the next day your neighbor will be wearing a neck tie directly from Colombia. Don't worry about the disposal... they need the bodies to transport some more merchandise. Problem solved.... Any other questions?

Outdoor Plants?
At a discount department store i got a japaneese maple, Wisteria, and a clematis. The Clematis is turning yellow and the wisteria at thye end is drying out. Everything is watered well. What should i do? I cant plant till may. Its snowing here now
Outdoor Plants?
If you still have the plants in the bags, they might have too much water causing root-rot. If the plants already have foliage you can plant them in containers and keep inside by a sunny window and relocate outdoors after the threat of freezing has passed. If the plants do not have foliage yet, they are probably still dormant and you can go ahead and plant outdoors now.
Keep the receipt though, cause if all this fails most major chains will refund for dead plants.
Reply:Put it in the refrigerator. This slows down it coming out of dormancy.
Reply:might not be enough light try and get some artificial light going, if you want to be cheap go with flourescent if you have some pocket change go to lowes and get either a high pressure sodium or metal halide light, you can use the street light lamps as your light source weed growers do it all the time
Reply:You actually probably want to "heel in" all three outside. They are all cold-hardy and will survive just fine. They won't live in the little bags for long.
Heeling in is a term that means temporary planting, usually with bare root plants which it sounds like you have. You just dig a hole barely large enough to accomodate the roots, put the plant in, and cover with a thin layer of dirt. If it's cold, the plant will return to its dormant state until the proper planting time comes. If it's warm, the plant will start its normal growth cycle and be easily transplanted when you get around to it.

In the book the bean trees, how does this quote forshadow turtles future?
quote ="Turtle shook her head. “Bean trees,” she said, as plainly as if she had been thinking about it all day. We looked where she was pointing. Some of the wisteria flowers had gone to seed, and all these wonderful long green pods hung down from the branches. They looked as much like beans as anything you’d ever care to eat. “Will you look at that,” I said. It was another miracle. The flower trees were turning into bean trees." (43)
In the book the bean trees, how does this quote forshadow turtles future?
The Bean Trees are a parallel to Turtle's life. They are sprouting in a barren place, and Turtle came from a "barren" home. Just like the trees show determination in trying to survive, Turtle, regardless of all she has been through, shows determination.

My moms 80th b-day we`re planning a big surprise party for her but i need help with the theme,?
80 is a big deal in our family since most of the family has passed on in thier 50s , 60s or 70s ,she was born %26amp; raised in Ga. %26amp; she loves her flowers %26amp; the color purple or lavender so i was thinking of a wisteria %26amp; lace theme with the colors lavender %26amp; green with lace table clothes, any ideas or web sights to check out for ideas would be so helpfull , the food will be catered to make it easyer on my sister %26amp; i, she has out lived all her sisters, my father %26amp; 2 sons so we want this to be very special since her health is failing %26amp; we dont know how much longer she will be with us, p.s. she allso has alzihmers so her memory is`nt real sharp any more ,but stuff like this seems to stay with her longer then other stuff.the party is in july %26amp; will be in a rented hall since no one has a house big enough to hold it at ,so there goes a big part of our budget since we are retired %26amp; live on a limited budget our selfs. THANKS

i think what you have planned sounds perfect, but you might also want to add some of the pictures from before her mind started to slip... my dad had dementia and he couldnt recall much from yesterday or today, but ask him about 50 years ago and it may as well have happened yesterday! he knew every little detail.
here is a great website for helping you figure things out...
http://www.party411.com/partyplan.html
most of all, don't OVERPLAN so she has no time to visit with her loved ones, and don't keep her up too long, as she will get bored or even mean quickly if she is uncomfortable. even though she has memory problems, you should tell her well in advance about her party, even now would be good- so that she can possibly know whats going on when the time comes.

Site above might be helpful. Your birthday plan sounds wonderful. I would call and visit some Travel Agencies and get every picture poster they would give me of anything Georgia-ish. Just say homesick Octogenarian and they will help you to get large pictorals. Could drape the hall with them, strung up with all her favorite colors. Then some music put together on a long playing tape - can start with 'Georgia On My Mind'. Those flowers you mentioned and family photos like another answer suggested. Add her favorite foods. Ought to do it. Simple = fun.

On Desperate Housewives: What do you think the next season will be about?
If you know the history of Wisteria Lane, then you know there will be secrets, lies, and scandalism. I'll take any guesses or speculations.
On Desperate Housewives: What do you think the next season will be about?
I think (partly from what we already know)..
Gabby will end up getting an anullment to her new hubby, or she'll stay w/him just for the perks(like $$), but will have an affair w/carlos
susan and mike will be really happy, and maybe have a baby
bree %26amp; orson will raise danielles' the baby as their own, but i don't think we've seen the last of austin(the baby's biological father), it will probaly come out in the end.
and tom %26amp; lynnette will probaly shut down the restaurant, now that lynette fired the good chef, and kayla, that brat of a daughter that tom has, will end up living with her mom's mother. i think they will end up divorcing. they keep too many secrets from one another, and don't seem happy.
and eddy, i don't think she'll die, but will be pretty darn close, and she be hospitalized mentally for what she's done.
Reply:I agree with everything and add that they will probably introduce some new neighbors that will also have secrets.

What do you think of the new gay couple on Desperate Housewives?
A new gay couple moved onto Wisteria Lane on "Desperate Housewives." Do you think a non-stereotypical gay couple on prime-time TV is a good thing for LGBT rights? Or will it make no difference?
What do you think of the new gay couple on Desperate Housewives?
I haven't watched Desperate Housewives, but I went into your clip. Good for them. Showing a gay couple is showing what normally happens in real life. Anything that will give gay people more of what is needed in this world understanding and acceptance, is O.K. with me. I hope though, that the writers don't "muck it up". They could do a lot of good if they treat the subject with respect and dignity.

Cutting bonsai roots?
I have a young Wisteria bonsai, but the problem is the root is very thick, it's not a map of roots, just this big one, the same size as the trunk. To stunt it's growth, could I cut this one root? Would it still grow?
Cutting bonsai roots?
You can cut it some... I would not recomend cutting it shorter then 1/3 of it's original size... After you cut it you should use the root wrap to keep diease out of the root until it heals... also I would water it a little extra... but not tooo much for a few weeks...

Mexican power line workers, UHG!! What would you have done?
Today, a large pickup truck pulls up in my backyard and five Mexicans jump out of the truck with machetes and tank sprayers. I go outside and ask, “What’s up”. They just look at me, and one of them says something in Spanish.
Well there’s a Wisteria vine on my power pole, which I had planted a few years ago and an Elm tree nearby. This guy starts to whack on the vine with a machete, and another heads for my Elm tree and I yell at them. Then a sixth guy comes out of the drivers seat, says something and the whacking stops.
The driver walks over to me and he could barely speak any English. But he said he was working for the power company and he’s supposed to cut everything you know?
I said “ No, I don’t know, where’s your papers?” He says he doesn’t know. So’ I told him to get the hell off my property.
Later on, different truck pulls up and at least this Mexican can speak some decent English. He say’s, their supposed to trim the trees and brush along the power line. There are no markings on any of these vehicles and he doesn’t have any work orders either.
So, I tell him to shove off, he says I got to let him do it. I tell him call the cops, as he doesn’t have any work orders. Well, he left and it’s been 4 hours, no cops and no paper work.
Would you have done the same thing?
Mexican power line workers, UHG!! What would you have done?
I've had people from the power company come and do some trimming in my back yard. The power company sends out letters stating that they will be in the area to do the needed trimming and will also list the name of the company and approximate dates. The people that they send out are not unskilled mex*^%$s, but arborists that are trained on the proper way to trim trees.
What you did was the right thing! Now you need to contact your power company and your local news station in regards to your story. Let others know about this!!!
Reply:I already responded to your question, in a different category. But I still think that you did the right thing!! Way to go!!!!!
Reply:Where I live, (Central Florida), the utility companies have the right to enter personal properties to take care of their utility infrastructures. In fact, I have about 3 feet of utility easement all around (at the outer perimeter of) my property. They come in and out as they please. Most of them knock first, but they are not required to do so.
No, I wouldn't have done the same as you. First of all, why would you allow your vine to climb the poles? Second, I would ask for their identifications and possibly contact the utility company for confirmation, but I would have acted much more civilly.
Would I have asked to leave and come back with identification? Yes, I have an option to do so, if I have a reason to believe they are not what they say they are. Then again, I will simply ask them to leave. There is NO REASON to be abusive.
Reply:You should have just given them a few Coronas and sat down with them. They are the new Americans.
Kidding. You did the right thing.
Reply:Well I guess anyone would have done the same thing but, eventually they will come back and your vines will be chopped down to the ground.
Reply:I totally agree with what you did. What is probably happening is that the power company has an easement in your yard in which they reserve the right to enter and work on the utilities. Usually utility companies don't have a problem with landscaping unless it is totally blocking access to the power pole or is a threat (i.e. tree growing through the power lines).
I would recommend that you call the utility company directly and see whats up. They may be able to come to a reasonable agreement (i.e. the wisteria can stay but it has to be kept within a certain size). You may want to call them right away, just to avoid the potential of some guys showing up when you aren't home and doing the work anyway.
Reply:absolutely!!!!...and not just mexicans...anybody!
you should have just called the cops the second time when they came back.
If they don't have something resonable to do, they can ***** out

So, I tell him to shove off, he says I got to let him do it. I tell him call the cops, as he doesn’t have any work orders. Well, he left and it’s been 4 hours, no cops and no paper work.
Would you have done the same thing?
Mexican power line workers, UHG!! What would you have done?
I've had people from the power company come and do some trimming in my back yard. The power company sends out letters stating that they will be in the area to do the needed trimming and will also list the name of the company and approximate dates. The people that they send out are not unskilled mex*^%$s, but arborists that are trained on the proper way to trim trees.
What you did was the right thing! Now you need to contact your power company and your local news station in regards to your story. Let others know about this!!!
Reply:I already responded to your question, in a different category. But I still think that you did the right thing!! Way to go!!!!!
Reply:Where I live, (Central Florida), the utility companies have the right to enter personal properties to take care of their utility infrastructures. In fact, I have about 3 feet of utility easement all around (at the outer perimeter of) my property. They come in and out as they please. Most of them knock first, but they are not required to do so.
No, I wouldn't have done the same as you. First of all, why would you allow your vine to climb the poles? Second, I would ask for their identifications and possibly contact the utility company for confirmation, but I would have acted much more civilly.
Would I have asked to leave and come back with identification? Yes, I have an option to do so, if I have a reason to believe they are not what they say they are. Then again, I will simply ask them to leave. There is NO REASON to be abusive.
Reply:You should have just given them a few Coronas and sat down with them. They are the new Americans.
Kidding. You did the right thing.
Reply:Well I guess anyone would have done the same thing but, eventually they will come back and your vines will be chopped down to the ground.
Reply:I totally agree with what you did. What is probably happening is that the power company has an easement in your yard in which they reserve the right to enter and work on the utilities. Usually utility companies don't have a problem with landscaping unless it is totally blocking access to the power pole or is a threat (i.e. tree growing through the power lines).
I would recommend that you call the utility company directly and see whats up. They may be able to come to a reasonable agreement (i.e. the wisteria can stay but it has to be kept within a certain size). You may want to call them right away, just to avoid the potential of some guys showing up when you aren't home and doing the work anyway.
Reply:absolutely!!!!...and not just mexicans...anybody!
you should have just called the cops the second time when they came back.
If they don't have something resonable to do, they can ***** out
I have a 29 gallon tank and the pH of 8.6 the tap water is 7.4.I want to lower the ph to 7 how do lower it?
The tank has not been cycled yet it has 11 argentine swords 1 wisteria and two chunks of driftwood.HELP!!!!!!!!I really want to have tetras danios and platies I have pea gravel in my tank.I didnt wash the driftwood well but the water is crystal clear
I have a 29 gallon tank and the pH of 8.6 the tap water is 7.4.I want to lower the ph to 7 how do lower it?
The easiest way to drop your pH to 7 is to instead of using tap, use RO/DI or spring bottled water for your tank. Generally it is already at 7 and has a lower hardness than at least Indiana water. Hope this is helpful. Oh, and check the pea gravel with a bit of vinegar. If it bubbles, it's the cause of your pH increase.
Reply:your tank is still in its infancy,i would wait until your amonia and nitrites are zero,before adding any fish.you might try more "aquatic"plants,and maybe another piece of bogwood.platies do need a ph value of 7.8
Reply:Go to you aquatics shop they will seal you a ph test kit and that should come with two solutions one to make the water more acidic and one to make it more alkaline with the instructions. you will have to reduce it very slowly or you will kill the fish you have. one way to start is to change so much water each day. Mind the temperature mind. Go on the net and try Bradshaws the experts. They give you free advice.
Reply:If your tap pH is only 7.4 and your tank water is significantly different, you need to evaluate WHY it is. 9 times out of 10, the pH will DROP in a tank from the plants, driftwood and ammonia, not go up. So it seems to me that there is something in your tank that is raising your pH. Did you use gravel meant for fish tanks? Also, many rocks will raise pH if they are higher in calcium, so unless your rocks said they are safe for freshwater, I'd ditch them.
Not washing the driftwood won't up your pH. I'd suggest removing any decorative rocks that you didn't get at a fish store, do a large water change and see where the pH lands. It should get lower that way. Do NOT play with pH products as they don't buffer your pH, so it will tend to swing around. And a swinging pH is MUCH more dangerous than one that is just high.
Again, it's probably your rocks. Water change, remove any rocks not meant for fish and retest.

Someone killing my vines?
I live in a small condo complex in Tx. I recently planted five vines on our front fence to dress up our property (wisteria, trumpet vine, star jasmine and carolina jasmine).
At least once a week I find where someone has put something that looks like salt crystals on the leaves. The first vine I lost since I didn't notice it soon enough. I now check them morning and night.
I was wondering if someone could tell me what this could possible be. It seems to turn the leaves brown almost overnight. I have had to cut back the trumpet vine and one of the star jasmine to almost nothing. In fact I think the jasmine is a goner. One of the wisteria is trying to make it. It's leaves are almost all brown on the edges but has stopped dropping them. The ends are still growing.
The other wisteria I apparently found before the stuff was on it very long. I gave it a good hosing and we ended up with just a few brown edged leaves.
What could this be - HELP- what can I use to counteract?

What age was Dylan from Desperate Housewives when she was "replaced"?
I know people are going to think I'm being a freak about this but I was watching the season finale and it said on the show earlier this season she was six when she and her mother Katherine moved to Chicago. But in THIS episode, in the beginning of the 2nd half, it said she was four when they moved to Wisteria Lane (14 years ago). But then later towards the end, it said a couple of months after they moved, thats when Wayne found them. And they ran away to Chicago. But how is this possible when there's a two year difference?
What age was Dylan from Desperate Housewives when she was "replaced"?
I know. I caught that also, but I don't think we're
'supposed' to over-dissect it.
I kept thinking how Susan's daughter would ask her,
"Remember the time we did this,".. Or "this happened"..
And Dylan looked clueless..
But even at that age, Dylan would have a memory! :)
Like the soaps, I guess. :)
Reply:I don't know for sure but she looks to have been around 4 when katharine found her in the orphanage. What I don't understand is how come she doesn't remember anything at all of those 4 years? I still remember some of when I was that young. I don't remember stuff that happened 5 years ago but go figure LOL.

Why didn't my dogwood bloom this year?
My dogwood tree has bloomed beutifully for ten years but this year only got two blooms. The leaves look fine, my wisteria and lilacs bloomed normally, what's up?
Why didn't my dogwood bloom this year?
Did you trim it ? The buds for next year form mid to late summer . Was it especially dry for any exteded period since last July ? That could do it . Unsually windy %26amp; cold (at same time) weather in winter could kill the flower buds . In other words, any unusually stressful period , since buds were forming , could kill the flowers . (Sorry for the vagueness, but I usually am looking at the tree while answering . ;D) As long as the tree is otherwise healthy, I wouldn't worry.
Reply:Not sure how your weather was around the typical bloom time, but here in Chicago, my Magnolia lost all it's blooms due to a late freeze...very sad, I'd been looking forward to that all year!
Reply:I would suspect that the late freeze experienced by most of the US had a hand in this. My magnolia was blooming when the freeze occurrec. It lost its flowers and is just now starting to leaf out. Fruit trees either lost their blooms or did not bloom. Most likely if it has leaves on it, it will bloom next year.
Reply:YOUR LOCAL PLANT NURSERY WOULD BE THE BEST BET.I WOULD FEEL THE SAME IF I WERE IN YOUR SHOES.
Reply:Flowering trees need to be pruned every winter when they are dormant. Perhaps you pruned to late and cut your buds off? Also, flowering trees must be fed on a regular basis in early spring with a good garden food and once a month until Sept. The only other thing i can think is a possible underground disease. Hope this helps.
Reply:I live in SC and we had a late freeze that affected everything. I have several dogwoods, and all the spring growth died back (including the blooms). All have recovered with new growth, but most of my dogwoods had very few blooms. If you suffered a late season frost in your area, I'd bet that was the cause.
good luck
Reply:i live in Kentucky and that late freeze we had killed everything! blooms, new growth, and some of my shrubs i planted last year. it was awful!

Help or a Site for Aquatic Plants?
I bought some plants for my betta's 2 gallon tank. Ive tried frilly type plants (frill plant, cambomba, anacharisis, and a somethingwort, forgot the name) they all slowly die, (yet thrive in my 30 gal), so I decided to try some more grass-like plants.
The shop I got them from (I dont have many options where I live) did not have any info on lighting or anything for the plants, just the names, and I am sure that 2 of them go by different names.
I wanted to know if these are plants that I can actually plant in the gravel or that I need to tie to something with the roots loose.
The plants are
Water Wisteria
White Ribbon
Kyoto Plant.
I am having a VERY hard time finding info on the last 2, so any help with other names or what conditions they need would be GREATLY appreciated.
Thanks:)

One of the best submerged oxygenator aquatic plants is hornwort (sometimes referred to as hornwart or Plashorn). Usually the three plants you mentioned are pretty durable to the point you have to thin them out. They do not need soil as they adsorb nutrients from the water (fish waste etc).
All plants need light, I'm thinking they are just not getting enough since the plants in the other tank are okay.
Ribbon Plant or Ribbon Grass is also called Plasjungle or Jungle Val or Vallisneria. Comes in a couple of color varieties.
Ludwegia is another. Comes in a couple of color varieties.
Resolve the light issue and you should not have a problem.
Otherwise, switch out the plants frequently with the other tank.
Reply:White Ribbon plant - not a true aquatic plant - It's botanically know as Dracaena Sanderiana: commonly known as the ribbon plant. It will grow in water like cut flowers.
It grows in 1/2 inch to two inches of water. It is not necessary to fertilize the plant but a diluted water-soluble fertilizer can be used. This plant prefers bright light, but not direct sunlight. Does well in low and fluorescent light. May live up to 3 months in an aquarium.
Kyoto Plant - ophiopogon kyoto - also not a true aquatic plant - even though the pet store sell them as such. Ophiopogon are a group of evergreen clump forming perrenials, grown for their glossy dark green blade-like foliage. Lilac or white colored flowers bloom on spikes in late summer, followed by bluish black berries. Prefers sun to partial shade, and fertile, well drained soil. It will grow to approx. 4" tall. May live up to 12 months in aquatic enviorment.
Hope this helps. I too have the same plants in my aquarium and I am disappointed that I was not told this information. I have recently ordered plants online that are true aquatic plants.

What is this plant?
It is a vine that grows purple flowers. They grow in clusters like grapes. Is this a wisteria and if it is, how hardy are they?
What is this plant?
YES IT IS A WHISTERIA. THEY GROW WILD IN THE EASTERN STATES. COLD HARDY TO -40 F SO REALLY CAN GROW JUST ABOUT ANYWHERE IN THE US
Reply:Quisqualis indica also flowers like that with never ending flowers.
Reply:Here are some images of wisteria: http://www.flora-toskana.de/onlineshop2/...
They are very hardy, especially as they mature. The vine is woody and gets pretty thick. They are actually considered an invasive species (they will take over a garden and they grow very fast). But, they are very attractive when in full bloom. I had a couple of vines that got included under the tent when I had termite fumigation done on the house. They lost all their foliage, but came back just fine.
Reply:Sounds a lot like Wisteria.
They are so hardy, they're considered "weedy" in a lot of areas.

But wisteria is a vine that will take over and kill all your other plants unless you spend a great deal of time purnning it and keeping it in "line".
But it is also a slow grower so all you can do is give it some good food. Prehapes Mircale Grow will help. But with the lack of rain lately you can't except it to do too much.
Reply:ummm...your wisterias are probably 'slow' due to the lack of intelligence from their parent...use protection next time you decide to lay in the garden

Bug spray on a plant?
I have a beautiful Wisteria that blooms on a pergala in my back yard. It attracts a HORRIBLE amount of wasps. Can I use regular wasp spray on the Wisteria without it dying?
Bug spray on a plant?
no instead use this equal parts of dish liquid to equal parts listerine . it really works good and does not kill the plant . good luck .
Reply:I'd recommend that you don't. Not sure what's in wasp spray but regardless, wasp spray kills on contact with the wasps. once it dries, it's not terribly effective..
Try to enjoy your pergola after dark.. wasps don't fly then.

Purple blossoming tree?
My mom would like this tree with purple blossoms on it, unfortunatly we don't know what the name of it is, since the frost killed off the blooms before we could look for a blooming one. It is a TREE not a bush or vine. Wisteria can be a tree so I may be that. We have seen the tree around the area, and we live in Northern Ohio. I also know it is not a lilac tree or a cherry blossom tree. What are all the purple blossoming trees?
Purple blossoming tree?
If the tree bloomed out in the early to mid spring it may be a red bud tree. Try looking at this site, it is a nursery site but at least you can see the tree in bloom.

Reply:Looks like a Judas or redbud tree, Cercis Canadensis, C. occidentalis or Cercis siliquastrum, they flower along the stems instead of brunches, and generally have heart shaped leaves.
If it has a bunch of flowers like a wisteria but is a tree it could be a Robinia 'Purple robe'. If it has thin pine like leaves and flowers like those in the picture it could also be a tamarix. Hope one of the answers, answers your question.
Reply:Flowering plum trees have purple blossoms and they are beautiful!
Reply:The Empress tree, Paulownia tomentosa, has panicles of trumpet shaped, violet purple, fragrant , spring flowers. They look like lilac colored foxglove blooms.
There is a story that it was named in honor of Princess Anna Pavlovna, daughter of Russia's Czar Paul I.
Another tree with lilac flowers is the Jacaranda but it is subtropical zone 9 or higher.
Last is the Cercis canadensis, Judas tree or Eastern Redbud. It has pinkish purple flowers also. The nicest cultivar I've seen of this is called 'Forest Pansy' with maroon foliage to set off the blossoms.

Reply:Was probably some type of Magnolia, probably Saucer Magnolia ( Magnolia soulangeana) or hybrid of it .Were the flowers roughly tulip-shaped? The blooms come out too early in the north . Here ( upstate NY) they get frozen at least half the time . Another possibility would be some variety of Magnolia x loebneri ( hybrid of Star Magnolia %26amp; M.kobus) Were the flowers star-shaped ? If so , likely 'Leonard Messel'. Great tree, even though flowers are short-lived . Definitely worthwhile . Fragrance is wonderful. All of the Loebner Magnolias are very cold-hardy %26amp; long-lived . Only the flowers are tender . Varieties: 'Merrill', 'Leonard Messel','Ballerina','Donna' ,'Encore',Neal McEacharn','Powder Puff','Spring Snow','White Rose', 'White Stardus' . The last three bloom later, so are more likely to escape frost .
Fes might be right, with Redbud , but flowers usually don't get killed by frost . Redbud flowers are small ( 1/2"), in clusters(4-8) %26amp; tight to the branches . Magnolia flowers are 2-6" ( depending on variety )

Varieties: 'Merrill', 'Leonard Messel','Ballerina','Donna' ,'Encore',Neal McEacharn','Powder Puff','Spring Snow','White Rose', 'White Stardus' . The last three bloom later, so are more likely to escape frost .
Fes might be right, with Redbud , but flowers usually don't get killed by frost . Redbud flowers are small ( 1/2"), in clusters(4-8) %26amp; tight to the branches . Magnolia flowers are 2-6" ( depending on variety )
Need pointers on how to care for a Rabbit's Foot Fern.?
At the moment I have many plants that are doing very well ranging from the common Peace Lilly to a Bonsai Wisteria. I have always had some what of a green thumb, but my luck runs out with ferns.
A friend gave me a piece of her Rabbits foot fern I need some pointers i really dont want to kill it. Right now I have it in front of a bright window that does not get direct sunlight. It is the only plant iside right now, I'm afraid to put it outside. I live in the south and the temps are already getting right at 100.
Please any help with this would be greatly appreciated. And keep in mind its not your common fern it is Rabbit Foot.

There are a few rules that you must follow with ferns of all types. First, they do not tolerate being dry. A pot-bound fern will dry out daily. I suggest re-potting with a peat-moss based soil when the ferns are tight in the pot. Watering a pot bound fern is best accomplished by soaking the entire pot in a larger vessel of water. Second, they have no tolerance for direct sunlight. Diffused sunlight is best, like under a lattice screen or shadecloth. You could also put the fern under the eave on the north side of the house. Third, use a mild nitrogen rich fertilizer ( like 15-5-5) about once every two weeks. If you do the above, the fern will rock!
Reply:I understand your dilemma.Most people assume ferns are very hard to grow,along with a few other types of plants.I have had a plethora of ferns,some very easy to grow others a bit more difficult.My first question I would ask you is,what was the size cutting that your friend gave you?Did it have a root system with it or bare root?Were their any rabbit feet (fury limbs)that came with it?If you were given a established descent size plant then you should be on your way to having a good plant with no problems.Inside,ferns need more humidity than most plants.Get a plastic hand container and fill with luke warm water.Do not soak the plant so much as water dripping off but a few squirts evenly distributed.I would try to do this daily.Of coarse feeding is important.Once a month with a medium feed like15-15-15.One more thing,When I lived in Louisiana I was able to get my hands on some Cyprus knees.I would take some chicken wire and staple to the knee.Making a enclosed pot with sphagnum moss on outer part then put in rabbits foot and fill in with peat moss,it looked GREAT.

What do you want to see happen in Desperate Housewives Season 4?
Ok so not what you think will happen to the Ladies of wisteria lane, but what you want to happen...
What do you want to see happen in Desperate Housewives Season 4?
What I would want to happen is this.
Edie will be hanging, supposedly dead, and a scene goes to where Edie is near the light. Suddenly, her mother appears and says "I told you so", or something equally smug, and Edie will wake up in real life to find herself in the hospital, thereby surviving.
Gabby will spend all of Victor's money buying insanely expensive things, then drops the bomb on him that she knows he was using her and leaves him for Carlos.
Susan and Mike will hopefully become a really happy married couple with no more "drama". I would like Mike to include Zack in the family, and in return acquit Paul. I would love for Felicia to come back and get what she deserves.
Bree will definitely not get away with her plan to raise Danielle's baby. I hope Danielle gets a paternity test done, and find out the Austin is not the father of her baby, which leaves Austin free to come back for Julie. Those two were cute together. :)
I want Rick to come back Lynette, just to add some drama. He'll find out about Lynette's cancer, and try to be really friendly to her and Tom. I also think it would be fun if Art the pedophile came back, but Lynette won't deal with him, because of her mom, Tom, and Rick all consoling her.

Reply:"Brees baby" to come out black, and for Danielles history teacher to be the father!
Lynette to get pregnant and have another kid.
Gabrielle to set a honeytrap for that prick of a new husband shes got, sue his **** off and make him lose all his campaigns.
Post mortem to come back on Eddies death saying that she was carrying Carlos's baby.
If none of it has already happened. I missed the last episode.
Oh and JESSIE METCALF, JESSIE METCALF, JESSIE METCALF, JESSIE METCALF!

Reply:It would be nice if they killed off the entire cast so no one would have to hear the words Desperate Housewives again. Then they could do the same thing to Greys Anatomy. No man should have to suffer through this crap. I will never let my woman force me to watch this crap.

Does anyone know how to find the plant "montana rose" or by its botanical name "antiganon lepodus""
I had this plant in Tucson and they said it couldn't grow well there but it did and since California is similar in climate I would love to have it here. It is like wisteria but has tiny cotton candy colored flowers that bloom all summer.
Does anyone know how to find the plant "montana rose" or by its botanical name "antiganon lepodus""
A slight spelling mistake has thrown you off the track. The plant is called Antigonon leptopus or Coral Vine, a native of Mexico.
Here is a link for you to check if this is really what you're after

I'm sure you'll find it to buy in California.
Nice plant to have growing up through a tree I should think..

I am looking for the name and care of this plant i bought at a flea market.?
it has 5 petels of deep purple and white around the edges it's sort of tree like and the flowers droop down sort of vine like. looks sort of like wisteria but it's not. i do remember the guy said it grows 8 to 10 feet, but i can't feature that. next time i'll have to take a pen and paper. i have a picture and have been searching all over the place on here. can any one help me

Reply:Its hard without a picture but, maybe Vitex agnus-castus or family or a member of the Robinia family perhaps Robinia x slavinii "Hillieri'.
Reply:Since there are no pictures and a rather nondescript description of the plant it is impossible to say what it is. I would suggest that it is a weed type of planting and should not be put in your garden.
I purchase my breakfast cereal at the grocery store and not the local hardware or nursery store. I buy my plantings from a true nursery not the grocery store. It is one thing to be cautious of whatever you buy at a flea market, however, be certain that buying plant material is a major no-no. Sorry about that and I hope it helps. Chalk it up to experience and get thyself to a nursery for the exact type of plant you want and need. Good Luck.
Reply:sounds like it could be angels trumpet
Reply:From your description it sounds like maybe Vinca. It's a vine many different shades is purple. It's a great ground cover that has nice flowers. But some types of vinca can become invasive.

I have a tri colour hibiscus tree in a pot and it doesnt look how its supposed to...?
when i got it,it was a stick with some roots so i planted it in a large pot and its in my garden...
the picture of it in my catalogue shows 3 balls of coloured flowers up the stem but im unsure how to look after it...
mine seems to have grown massive shoots with flowers all along them,its quite wild looking...
im unsure of how to get it looking neat and tidy with round balls of flowers in bloom!
maybe im supposed to prune as they grow to keep them short and this could make it bush out more?
if anyone knows how i can look after my hibiscus i would love the advise!
i live on a coastal river that can be lovely and sunny or on the other hand,very windy at times..
my front garden is riverfront entrance with sun most the day although i have a shadier area there...and my back garden gets sun later in the day and until then can be blowy at times...
where would be the best place to put it and should i keep it in a pot or plant?
also i have wisteria trees in pots and want to plant them

Hibiscus love sunshine, wind is ok too. It will grow larger in the ground but depends on where you live. Hibiscus can tolerate down to just above the freezing line and survive. (1 celcius, 33 farenheit), but cannot survive below freezing. In colder weather it will not flower much and depending on how cold perhaps not at all, but they flourish in the heat and sunshine. As far as pruning goes, you said that it was a tricolored hibiscus, This would indicate to me that it is a hibiscus which has had other colored hibiscus grafted into it which will make multiple colors. You can prune or not, you will still have blooms, but if you don't prune the original color will take over and become the strongest until the other colors disappear completely. Therefore you will not have 3 colors, but one eventually, probably a red since they are the hardiest and most common. If you want to have the larger and tri-colored blooms, you do need to prune. Hibiscus enjoy being pruned and bush right back out, so no problem there. By the way put it in the sunny side of your garden, it will be happiest there. Can't help you with the wisteria part of your question as I have never had this, but I have 15 hibiscus bushes at present in several varieties and colors. I find them to be one of the easiest plants/bushes to grow.
Reply:Thanks from 2 shy. Enjoy your hibiscus! Report It
Reply:Keep you hibiscus in a pot, it won't be frost hardy. Yes you need to prune it to get that bushy ball look.
Reply:your hibiscus should be in the ground as it is in its native land it should NOW be in flower very little pruning reqd if so after flowering
Reply:It depends on where you live if you can plant the hibiscus. If you live in a warm climate you and your tree will be fine. Your hibiscus sounds perfectly normal to me...you know the pictures of the trees and plants you bought were staged by a professional photographer, and things never look like that.
You should be able to plant your wisterias outdoors....they make wonderful trees and would look really lovely in your front yard.

The name of a 20 foot tree?
Flowers %26amp; leaves , finer, but similar to a wisteria vine. Am told this tree is rare. We live in Brisbane.
The name of a 20 foot tree?
Tommy the Tree?
Reply:oak trees are tall, but they are common..
Reply:Sounds like a Yellow Wood Tree, Cladrastis lutea. It is a rare native of the southeast US. Does not bloom reliably every year, even in its native haunts. Worth waiting for, when it does bloom. Would be very rare in Brisbane if that is what it is. The yellow wood would be a tell-tale identifyer.
Now that I think about it, Texas Mountain Laurel (Sophora secundiflora) might be it too. Its blooms are deep purple, while Yellow Wood's are white or pink. Its leaves are evergreen, while Yellow Wood's are deciduous. And if the climate in Brisbane is what I imagine it to be, Texas Mountain Laurel would adapt to Brisbane well.
Reply:Could be many things ... a pic would help. You don't mention flowers but I'm guessing the plant is in the pea family (same family as Wisteria). If you hadn't said it was rare, I would have suggested Robinia pseudacacia. Robinia is fairly commonly planted in Australia.
