You should go to this website http://www.watergardenersinternational.org/   It has a gallery where you can view the water lily that you have or that you want to see what it looks like.

If you want a waterlily that stays open late try a tropical. Some of my tropicals open during the day and close around 6-7 ish. My hardies usually last 3 days and then they're gone. They usually have a new one coming up right after the one that died. Your water lily is a pretty pink!

Chit Chat / Re: Facebook vs Twitter vs IM (instant messaging)

« on: July 12, 2009, 10:45:01 AM »

I have never used twitter either but it is rapidly becoming popular because of celebrities and what is going on in Iran. People in the marches in Iran have been using it to communicate with one another. I used myspace before. It is almost the same exact thing as facebook but was created years before.

Vickie I'm sorry that happened to you.... It must have been a lot to take in since you had little children. I guess you could say it is hard for anyone who's family gets a divorce. Well at least you won't have to spend the rest of your life with him and found out now. Better now then later.

Michelle. I'm sorry this happened to you but this happens to everyone who wants to fall in love. Before you can meet the right person that you will end up with, you have to go through the tough times to know what it's like to be happy. I don't know why but that's just how life works. Right now you are sad and crying and depressed but you know what? You can only go up from here. You are at one of the lowest points but there is no where to go BUT UP . Time will heal.. I see it everytime. My friend was really hurt when she found out her boyfriend already had a girlfriend and he was just using her. She was devastated and there as nothing I could do. All I could tell her was. You will get over this, I know it's gonna be hard but you will look back on this and tell yourself I'm glad that happened because I came out as a better person and I learned something from it. Stay strong!

How can it not be above the law when many witnesses saw something different and the cops said something else to protect themselves?

Not all cops are the same. Maybe the cops in your area are different from the ones in my area. A lot of the cops around here speed unnecessarily, turn on their loud ringers when they don't want to stop for a red light, and act above the law.

I hope your friend will be okay. A lot of police are just above the law and it's wrong....

You are lucky. Did your water turn brown after the green was gone? I had green algae water and now it's alll brown   I added rocks and didn't clean them off before i put them in the pond so now my pond is brown. Can't wait to see the bottom of my pond like you can.
