It is approaching 8:30PM and I am bored to death. By the end of this week, I am hoping to have only eight or nine orchids left. I've mailed off over ten plants in the past two weeks. Why am I sending off these creatures I dearly love, you may wonder? Well, the ones I've sent off have been NOIDs that I've got multiples of. What's the point of keeping fourteen of the same plant when you're not obsessed with the flowers? Not much. I kept two because I like things that bloom a lot and that have simple structure. I also have a recovering bulbo, two identified dend. phals., two species dends., an identified stereochilus, a new dend. phal. keiki, and two intergenerics I dearly want to get rid of. I love how these intergenerics look in every single way, but they don't do anything under my care. They don't die, they just don't grow or flower. I have limited space as it is, and I will have even less next year when I switch unis so I don't have space to waste on plants that refuse to cooperate. I bought them on a whim, and I don't need them. I'm hoping that I can get something interesting in trade for them. Why am I trading them all off now? Because I have to keep them inside during the winter and it's a pain. They make a mess and I can't water them very often (and I love to water). When I water, I have to truck plants to the bathroom, turn the shower on for fifteen minutes, dump about two gallons of fertilizer on the collective mass, wait for them to drain, drag them back to the guest room, and set them up again. I've never had less than thirty orchids inside during the winter, so it will be interesting having under ten this year. I've got three mounties and one is not watered during the winter except very sparingly (once every month or so), so that one is a breeze. I am getting a full-size Cycnodes Wine Delight 'JEM' that I'm very, very, very excited about. It's a gorgeous plant and someone offered to pick one up at their show for me for a price I couldn't resist. The plants normally cost anywhere from $35-40 without shipping, and this dear individual picked one up for me at $25 and I sent an extra $5 for shipping. $30 for a plant that would easily be $10 more. I couldn't lose an opportunity like that. So, I should get this baby tomorrow or Wednesday if he sent it out today. The plants that I did ship off last week, I've only had one person notify me about recieving. This sort of pisses me off. You know, I spend $5 on postage, send the person a free plant, pot, and medium and don't get a 'hey, thanks, I got your plant alright' in return. Surely that's not too much to ask, is it? Anyway, enough from me.

Well I will be online all day tomorrow so I shall keep you from being bored. I don't have any decent orchids though, and the ones we do have are all soil growing. However I have seen a few native ones that you would probably love if they ever flowered more than once in a green moon (four times as rare as a blue moon).

I love em all. Especially if they grow, but importing natives from Australia is rather illegal, methinks. Too bad.

The exit polls say more people voted Kerry against Bush, instead of just Kerry for Kerry.

He is intelligent 5% total 78% for Kerry 22% for Bush.

You're not kidding. I'm trying to find a neutral country to emigrate to....
That is the last gasp of some poor prisoner. You are hearing his or her cry of desperation. Then again, they could just like pi. I like pi.

I have looked at a lot of neutral countries, most of them are overated

Pi graffiti always annoys me.
Here's hoping Bush has run out of targets, although I suppose that won't help you poor souls who live there much.
