Sometimes when I get lonesome I sit down

I just saw that picture of cousin Bubba
(which looks an awful lot like Eddie) and he is so ugly it made my eyes
water.

Truth varies with the individual.
Every apartment complex should have a

I sure do miss the dog that I washed

don't they come out in the daytime?

When buying a birdhouse always make sure the entrance hole is near the top to allow proper space for the
birds to come and go after a full nest is built below. Some birdhouses have the entrance hole positioned
like the entrance to a human dwelling. Avoid buying these and tell the craftsman why.
Why not round off every purchase amount to the nearest nickel? Surely it would average out and it costs
more than a penny to manufacture a penny.
Popcorn is for the birds! If you go to the movie and have leftover popcorn

I have not laughed and enjoyed a website
like yours ever. Although not comprehensive in the way of plants and flowers
I found myself reading everything. When I read about your finding a new
girlfriend for your rooster BB, I started laughing pretty big. Then I
listened to the Dolly Song...my stomach was spasming by then. As a coup-de-gras
I read your tips on fire ants. That did it! I started guffawing so hard my
dogs started barking at me. It has taken me 15 minutes to get myself under
control. Thanks so much for sharing your humor and love of life, as well as
plants and people.

Eddie, what a breath of fresh air your website is. Thanks for the timely
advice, especially on the fire ants!? Bookmarked your page in my 'favorite
places'. My favorite spot on your website is definitely "In My Honest
Opinion". Looking forward to your updates.
-Becky
Checked out your website, itąs wonderful - lots of fun and very professional.
-Mary
Fire ants were interesting - good picture. We listened to the Dolly song and became hysterical.
-Amanda & Ken
Plugged your Dolly song in the tape deck and almost fell out of the car. We listened to it four times
and soon were singing along to the top of our lungs!
-Gerry & Faye
Mighty sophisticated site for someone who didnąt even have email a short while ago. I like your short articles.
-Hal (the Great American Gardener)
Enjoyed your website - amusing yet informational.
-Mike
This here is the best website on the Internet!
-Cousin Bubba
I create sites all the time, and always have strong opinions about how things should be, but yours has
to be one of the best examples of how the web should be used that I've ever seen.
Strong points are: multi-faceted (many different things to look at and read - and not all
rigidly-related to gardening), and personal (obviously not a 'corporate' site - which
makes everything more interesting, and it gives the reader a rich impression of who you
are as a person).
Thanks for helping to make the web a friendlier, more human place to be!
- Andrew Doss
Eddie, I think your website is splendid. It's well organized and very attractive. I couldn't help
but explore all the links. Well done.
