OBF Fall Cleaning Swap

I thought it'd be fun to do a clean out swap. Since many of us have been under severe drought conditions and have lost plants or really can't dig plants at this time so why not have a Fall Clean Out swap instead of a Spring Cleaning Swap.

This swap doesn't require you to send any bulbs/plants/seeds unless you want to and can. So basically this will be an anything goes swap. If you have

special wants ie. a theme garden, certain things etc. then you can put it on the info sheet that you will send to your swap partner. Please do not go out of your way to buy something just for this swap, use things you have for Fall and don't need or use anymore. Home-made things, on hand things, things you saved for a whatever box, just try to keep it in the fall cleaning mode.

The rules are simple.... Sign ups are until September 2nd, I will post swap partners on Sept. 3rd. Boxes must be sent by Sept. 24th so everyone playing will receive their box by Sept. 30th. No plants are necessary but can be put in the box. This is an ANYTHING GOES Fall Swap. Now lets Fall IN and sign up.

Smiles,

Pixie

    1. 1933

    2. Rich Uncle Pennybags

    3. In 1983, the Buffalo Dive Club played for 1,080 hours -- underwater. Some 350 divers took turns to keep play going for 45 consecutive days. The game was even the favorite pastime on board the U.S. submarine, Seawolf, during a 60-day submersion.

    The MONOPOLY game has also reached toward the skies -- a record has been established for the longest game in a tree house (240 hours). On a somewhat higher level, the West German MONOPOLY championship was once held on Zugspitze, the highest peak in the German Alps.

    The game has had its ups and downs -- a 10-day game was once played in a moving elevator and a group of the MONOPOLY game fanatics battled the forces of gravity for 36 hours, setting a record for the longest inverted game.

    Nancy, I just got a wonderful box! Thank you soo much for the fiber optic grass and the Purple Knight Alternanthera! Alan and Buddy were home and we all thought that the Purple Knight was not real, its soo beautiful!!!! It is so shiny it looks plastic! I have never seen either type of these plants. They are both sooo beautiful, I know exactly where I am going to put them (in pots).

    And OF COURSE I love the note you sent! (I love Foxes ;) ) This was sooo sweet of you.

    Thank you soo much,

    Gale. Please email me so I will have your email addy and can send your box out next week
    Hopefully it will go out next week........
    little update
    My husband and I married in 93. his mom passed in 97 from diabetes complications after being severely sick for about a yr. I take his dad to dr appointments and other things that he needs done. Last may he had heart problems - his ejection fraction was less than 10% - i am amazed his heart was still going at all. ( i started nursing classes in 1996 but quit but remember most all i had learned). To put it plainly - if his heart had stopped he would have been dead before he hit the ground and would have been to late by the time EMTs could get to him with defib machine. We had a defibrillator implanted with pacemaker capabilities. I stay at the hospital when pop is in there. I go over whoevers head i need to for special clearance to stay in ICU or PICU . After that he got bloodclots in his leg and 3 in his lungs.
    NOW Saturday night his defib started shocking him.
    My sister in law ( his oldest sons wife) came to get me telling me what happened. It kept shocking him all the way to the ER. We caught the ambulance so when they opened the back doors to get him out I was standing waiting. He was yelling and jerking due to it still shocking him. He said there you are. I said yes pop i am here. We get him in and hooked up to EKG. They have to monitor it to see whats wrong BEFORE they can put the magnet on to stop the shocking. Then they put the magnet on to stop but it is still shocking. They had it in wrong place. So then we wait on the Defib Tech to come from Asheville NC to Spartanburg SC. (Spartanburg has a heart center). He ran tests and stopped the shocking. It was reading his heart beat double. so when his pulse was 80 - it was reading it as 160 nad thought he was having a heartattack.
    Got to go home.
    I stayed at his house sat and sun night.
    we went to his cardiologist today, He is going for more surgery tomorrow afternoon.
    We do not know anything yet other than they are going to replace one of the leads.

  • lil_green_thumb

    I am crazy lol
    He goes at 200 this afternoon for surgery.
