Amanda, I missed seeing it when Helen posted it, for some reason. Helen I apologize.

Helen posted this video on here a week or so ago, but it was humourous to read the story behind the song.

I am glad he received recognition of new guitars as he also gave the Taylor Guitar company a plug of free advertising

Hi Amanda, yes I do know how much you like Dolly and I'll see if I can find another one shortly.

This was not my first time having problems with Sears and I should have known better than to go back and buy anything else. They have very rigid rules with no exceptions. The problem I had with the ceramic cooktop was I dropped a jar of spaghetti sauce and broke it and I called about getting it repaired but when I found out it was going to cost almost as much to put a new top on as a new unit, I decided to just buy a whole new unit instead but they wouldn't let me cancel my repair order and this all happened within a few minutes time while I was still on the phone. I might could have understood it if I had waited a few days but this was like in a 10 minute time frame or so. That time I also went all the way to corporate but they wouldn't change it nor could I cancel it for any reason. Since KMart is also owned by the same company I won't be doing anymore shopping there either. There are too many places to shop where your business is appreciated.

Happy Sunday everyone,

As you know Evelyn I love Dolly Parton so really enjoyed these two video's you shared.

I am sorry to read of the awful time you had dealing with Sears.. The bigger the Chain the harder it is to receive satisfaction when you have a problem because it is so compartmental, you have to speak to the floor Manager/supervisor, who has to go to theirs etc - you can never deal straight to the 'horses mouth' with your problem and get it dealt with right then and there! because the staff on the floor do not have the authority.

There is not a Sears here, and I have been finding as many local and buying from them I want to keep our Mom and Pop type and Farm supply stores in business which there is a lot of to select from and I keep finding more of these and if we have to then the smaller Chains like Tractor Farm Supply. Lowes and Wallmart are kept to a minimum

Amanda you'll have to let us know how it goes with the sprouts and per a telephone conversation Helen and I had she knows why I won't be doing any organic gardening. By the way Helen, that was a great chat we had and I certainly enjoyed it. :)

Helen, I just ordered a 3 tier plastic round dish to start my growing 'sprouts' and a bag of 5 or 6 different verities. I have heard that sprouts are really good for you and not really tried them, also a tin of organic and pollinated seeds http://mypatriotsupply.com They were the cheapest I have come across so far.

Hello Evelyn

I have a great green idea for you. You need to become a raw foodist. It is not the easiest thing in the world to do. After all, who wants to eat salad 3 times a day with a bit of fruit between meals. No, no, no, that is not how you do it. You wade into this slowly, adding more and more raw food into your diet over time.

Raw foodists have concocted oodles of raw food recipes. You can find them on the internet. Google Raw Food. You will be amazed how much stuff there is on eating raw.

Now for the best part. After you have tried a recipe and find it to be palatable, you will post it to this forum for all of us. Isn't that a great idea?!! Others could do the same.

I once got to try a raw green pudding. It was out of this world. It was made in a VitaMix and it had 3 ingredients >>> Paypaya, raw spinach and I think the 3rd ingredient was Avocado. It was SOOOOOO YUMMMMMY! It was just like pudding except it was totally green in color. See! There's your first raw recipe on your forum! When my ship comes in, there is going to be a VitaMix on it.

Another great idea! In the same way that you would wade slowly into eating raw, you could also wade into organic gardening slowly. In the first year, you might grow a couple of tomato plants. Then each year you keep growing more and more vegs and fruits.

You would not be allowed to talk about how wonderful your organic stuff tastes because it would make us drool and many of us do not have the land to make an organic garden. Unless you are willing to send us some, you will have to keep your mouth shut about it :) I used to do organic gardening and I know how wonderful things taste and how much better I began to feel.

Ever since I did my own garden, I have looked for the ideal raw food and I have found it. It so happens to be a Network Marketing company but that's ok. They get their products from an organic farmer in Utah.

The stuff this farmer does for his produce is absolutely amazing. I figure his foods are best in the world. He freeze-dries it. He pours the foods into this freeze-dryer and before they hit bottom, they turn into a powder. They are never heated over 85 F which is less than body temperature. When you buy them, they come to you raw, organic with enzymes and electrons intact. There are very few people who could even grow their own produce and obtain the results he gets.

These foods are the easiest to prepare, consume and clean up. You just put some water into a jar, add a scoop or two of the powders and drink it down with a straw. Rinse out the jar and the straw and place it on the drainboard. That's it! You are done in about 4 minutes. Perfect bachelor food.

Myrna I have to agree, this is a fascinating video and I loved the hummingbirds. :)
