Thank You for Bugging Me

18 years ago

I mean bugging me about brugs.

First.

Since I can't find a last name or an email address I'd like to say THANK YOU CAROL for sharing your brugs with me. They are extremely nice cuttings and I appreciate the fact that you sent several of each. The information you took time to type our was wonderful too. Thanks for everything. I just wish I knew or could remember which CAROL you are. I know several from Garden Web and other sites.

Second,

Why is it that even when you order something off ebay the name on the package is not the same as the one you made the check or money order out to? Are you folks trying to keep us confused or what. I don't need anyone's help in that department. Then I wonder why I ordered and payed for something more than once...duh.

Third,

It would be so very nice if EVERYONE would include their username from the website when they are sending or exchanging cuttings.

Fourth,

I try to keep some sort of record of who I'm sending postage for cuttings and so forth.I have a small Subject notebook that I write names, addresses and so forth in. But there are times I did something on the spur of the moment and didn't write anything down. You know like one last email, post or something when I'm getting ready to go to work or to sleep or something else.

Does anyone have any suggestions other than to stop trading in order for me to keep up with everything and everyone's names, user names, and so forth. I asked the doctor for something for my memory this morning but he wants to hold off until we get some other things under control.

Thank You to all of you for putting up with me and sharing your passion for brugs with me. So far all my babies are doing wonderful and growing like weeds.

Happy Gardening and Brugging, Marian

I've given up trying to keep everything straight with trades. I also have a notebook that I log stuff in but don't always manage to write in every trade. I have a fair number of paper scraps by the computer. lol Another thing that would be helpful (at least for me) is to include your email address and what variety of plant you are requesting along with your GW UN.

LOLOLOL!!! I keep a journal as well..I have to write everything down or I would be soooo lost! When I broker (LOL big word) a trade I write it down then and the GW name or wherever that goes with it...I also use a email server (incredimail) that holds all email addresses processed..my other servers don't and I have lost a few..I also get a delivery confirmation on everything ..I attach it to who I sent it to.. they are .65 well worth the money to help me be responsible..Besides when I go back and look I will know if I really want to trade with them again and what came from where...

Thanks for posting. It just drives me nutty trying to find out EXACTLY who I'm suppose to be thanking for something. It probably drives the person sending things to me crazy for not getting a timely Thank You too.

My brain (if I have one)stays over loaded thinking about all those beautiful Brugs and how easy you can just click on ebay and buy them little suckers.

Speaking of Ebay, I better go check and see if I've purchased anything else and forgot about it.

Happy Gardening Ya'll, Forgetful Marian

Don't feel bad. I had bought one brug and already paid for it and he said I could get more for less shipping if I wanted and told me to bid on Varigated Jamie and he would send me an email. Well I did and I already got my first varigated Jamie and 2 other plants then just got an email saying i am about to win the other varigated Jamie so I may end up with 2 of them. Waiting to hear back from the seller what he wants me to do.

Try a gmail account by google. Very search able and will hold email and upto a couple of gigs. (Very Big) You can then add people to groups. I could not live without one. I am always sending things to myself on gmail. If your are tired of multiple accounts you can forward all accounts to it also.
