I saw her pic in the paper the other day and well I have a problem folks. Maybe you can help me out. Maybe Im just hung up on stereotypical imagry deeply conditioned by the media? But well folks, I hate to say this as I know it's not NICE or even Fair, but I take one look at that woman's face in the paper and without event THINKING, the word WHORE pops into my head before I can check myself. She's got thi s sultry look on her face. She fits that image exactly of the kind of woman often featured as a porstituted. And wasn't it Frank that asked if she was truly an INNOCENT type girl why didn't she RUN as soon as she saw the prez allegedly go for his fly? HMM!!! Sorry to drag this topic up again but it seems to me there's a lot more to this sex scandal garbage than meets the eye. Just my Humble Opine of course. -=Cindy ...

I suppose they are without leaves in wintertime. I had to think about it for a minute.... When I put the Christmas lights up, the leaves are still there, so they don't lose their leaves.

I thought the climate > at yours is that nice and warm so that the Lantana's could > stay outside for all winter. Yes. The Lantana lives thru the winter. The branches are quite woody, so I imagine they'd survive a frost, maybe even a freeze. These two bushes are becoming a nuisance to me. I have a "hedge" behind my pool as a screen. There is about 15 feet of Cardinal Plant which grows to about 6 feet. It has big leaves and loads of red flowers all summer and fall. (The flowers look something like salvia). The plants have spread easily from the one plant my neighbor gave me. They do die off easily in the first frost, but the roots live and come back in the spring. Next is a bird feeder and bird bath, then I have about 15 feet of Lantana, made up of maybe 3 plants. They're a little too frisky to keep neat. Grow every which way. They also seed themselves everywhere. The flowers interested me when I first saw them. A flower made up of circles of smaller flowers, all multicolored. I have two 1 gallon pots of the orange lantana that I'm going to plant somewhere at my mothers house. I've seen them in some commercial plantings. They grow low, and from a distance look like huge beds of marigolds. Jimvee ... Butterflies are self-propelled flowers. ___Messenger V1.2 [Reg] --- PPoint 2.02 * Origin: Jimvee's Point.
