All I need to know I learned from the Easter Bunny! Don't put all your eggs in one basket. Everyone needs a friend who is all ears. There's no such thing as too much candy. All work and no play can make you a basket case. A cute tail attracts a lot of attention. Everyone is entitled to a bad hare day. Let happy thoughts multiply like rabbits. Somebody parts should be floppy. Keep your paws off of other people's jelly beans. Good things come in small, sugar coated packages. The grass is always greener in someone else's basket. To show your true colors, you have to come out of the shell. The best things in life are still sweet and gooey. May the joy of the season fill your heart. AND MAY GOD BLESS YOU!  Happy Easter!!

Love Ya Pink Pals ! xoxx Gina

Carollyn, Can you actually get Pizza to grow in a garden??

Elimar, love the choc. bunny pic today!

Happy Easter Everyone!

I got into my garden yesterday and discovered that the lavender, rosemary, and thyme are showing signs of life!  These usually don't survive Maine winters so I am thrilled!  Got lots of work to do to clean up the garden, but it won't be really hard work, it will just take time.  Great excused to get outside, and my paperwork load is going to suffer for it from now on!  I've got to get more disciplined about getting my paperwork done in the evening so I can have the afternoons to play! 

Happy Easter, All!  

After this long, cold, wet winter during this global warming, I hate to see what happens when we go into global heating phase!

I am running out of room to garden this year.  DH thinks this is the year we landscape the backyard, so I have been limited so any equipment can be brought in.

I decided to grow my spinach in the greenhouse and just pick as I need it. I also need to get some of my seedlings in the ground.  I planted some lettuce yesterday. I am going to have potatoes growing out of my ears!  Somehow some of the potatoes from last year must have survived the tilling under and I have potatoes growing in the onions, carrots and radishes!

If anyone has some pepperoni seeds for my pizza garden, I am sure I have some seeds of something to swap.  ( I might even have a baby lasag for someone,  they have really multiplied since I wrote about them a few months ago.)

OK, and the US can pay for thousands of Ugandans to be HIV tested?????????

I WAS yelling at the TV.  I think they heard me in the next county!

I was watching Sound of Music when a friend IM'd me to turn to CBS.  

So how much does the testing cost in the US?

Sheesh! I thought the $300 seemed high!!!

Okay, that's nutts!!!My BRACA test cost $5000 before insurance talked them down to $3000 and change. I called them and told them I could not afford it, which was very true. They wrote off what insurance didn't cover. Now I know why. The information I received was invaluable, and they got ya cornered. I'm thankful that they covered it for me, but now wonder how many other women just looked at the cost and said, "No can do." 

They've patented the genes? Lovely. And they've publicized it all so much that I know women who think that not only are genes the root cause of breast cancer, but also that they can tell if you've got faulty ones. I'm pretty sure I have some OTHER mutation they haven't clarified (and patented) yet. Still haven't taken the BRCA test. I just don't have the right stats. Tomorrow at my six month check-up, I'm sure it will come up. Wonder if there are doctor kickbacks built into the pricing? My oncologist admits she totally doesn't think my cancer type or family history suggests BRCA at all, yet she seems to think the test would be a good idea...

So you only have to pay the company if you inherited the gene mutation THEY own, but not if didn't inherit THEIR gene mutation?  OK, that makes a lot of sense.  Talk about someone benefitting form someone's else's misfortune.

Leisa my thoughts and prayers are with you.  I hope you have a speedy recovery.

 Leisa, The Middle Aged Sister will be thinking & Praying for you on the 8th! If you have any Question please post! Prayers for a healthy Recovery & Please let us know  when you get home & how your doing & if you need anything! we are here for you!

I am back to work finally after 3 1/2 months & 5 surgery, so I am not able to post as much!, But think of you guys daily!
