I bought Crystal Light Lemonade on an impulse, when I saw it on sale at my local supermarket. I think I paid around 6 dollars for a canister that contained enough to... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~433397206660 Wed, 11 Jun 2008 18:58:02 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_433397206660?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_433312272004?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author laura10801 - SIGH! Nepeta is CATMINT not Catnip. I see Epinions made the common mistake of confusing the two, but there is a big difference between these two plants. With that said, let me tell you about Nepeta ‘Walker’s Low.’ First of all, it is... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~433312272004 Wed, 11 Jun 2008 00:21:10 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_433312272004?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_432713535108?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author laura10801 - I love tea. Tea is the elixir of the gods as far as I'm concerned. Generally speaking I prefer black teas, as opposed to Oolongs or Green Teas or (heaven forbid!) herbal teas. Give me a nice cup of black tea with a little splenda and milk, and I'm a... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~432713535108 Thu, 5 Jun 2008 14:45:23 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_432713535108?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_432665038468?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author laura10801 - Do you know what tree-rats are? They are those gray rodents with razor-sharp teeth, claws, and fluffy tails - they go by the alias, "squirrels." Don't be fooled by these vermin, they have those tails to look cute so you don't poison them!

I naively had them moved to a spot that is really not rhododendron friendly. It is at the top of a hill and, it turns out, that particular site has virtually no nutrients (I found this out from a soil test... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~432543665796 Wed, 4 Jun 2008 01:00:59 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_432543665796?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_432425438852?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author laura10801 - ARGH!!! Rabbits ate my gorgeous tulips this spring! DIE! Well maybe I don't really want to kill them, I guess I really just want them to leave my garden alone.

I can tan, but it takes a lot of careful work and I have been avoiding getting sun exposure for years after being a sun-bunny when I was a kid. At this point, my goal is, not just to avoid getting burned, I want to stay pale, so I... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~432281783940 Sun, 1 Jun 2008 20:51:17 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_432281783940?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_431553941124?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author laura10801 - A few years ago I noticed that my hair was getting thinner. I've always had thick hair, in fact I used to complain that I had too much hair on my head and I could not manage it. Be careful what you wish for, you may just get it.
