Re: What is Happening, part II
P'ter, I know you live in the UK but are you serious? I just checked our weather and it's 99 degrees here with a heat index of 113. Luckily I have central air.

Re: What is Happening, part II
For us 85 degrees would be a nice summer day if it wasn't too humid. As it is we're getting high temps and high humidity too, which is the worst.

If they are using pesticides on their lawn I'm surprised they were able to "re

Re: Nothing New on Ebay?
Ginny, BD1 disappeared from the board shortly after you did in late January. She was having some health issues and we haven't heard from since.
