This isn’t your regularly scheduled post – but I’m posting it anyways

America’s Last Living Doughboy… last surviving American veteran of WWI Frank Woodruff Buckles was honored last week. At 107, it’s amazing to think of all he has seen, isn’t it?
My Nana is 90. She was born January of 1918 – while he was off in France driving ambulances. He was born around the same time as my great-Uncle long passed away.
I sometimes think of all someone like this has seen.
The advent of indoor plumbing… electric lighting… automobiles… radio… airplanes… television… going to the moon… computers… the internet… cell phones.
He lived through two “World Wars” – surviving both when so many of his friends and companions didn’t.
He survived the Great Depression – the McCarthy era – the Cold War.
He has lived thru 18 U.S. Presidents.
He was 44 years old when the current President was born.
Don’t get me started on the advances in medicine – or we’ll be here all day.
Amazing… isn’t it?

Got something to say?
I know, it’s amazing! My favorite author, Grace Livingston Hill, was born in the mid-1800’s. She wrote from the late 1800’s to the 1940’s–covering two world wars and a completely changing culture. It’s just amazing to me when I think of the life she lived.
Blessings to your Nana!
I’ve been re-reading the Anne of Green Gables series by LM Montgomery the past few weeks. They pretty much cover the late 1800’s to WWI… I still love those so much.
It’s incredible isn’t it?
Hiya.
I hate to tell that geekmommy.net is a great forum!
I spent a lot of time searching for a forum relevant to my hobbies.
Finally, I found this forum.
Excuse me if this is a not the best category to write , however I could not find more relevant http://community.wildforlifefoundation.org/EdytheHoman –

What’s up all! I promised to leave feedback on the super deluxe hydroponics system I bought from Dealzer.com. Well, here it is. I bought the system on September 1st. By the time it arrived, I had all my plans ready as far as the plants I have here to grow with. To unpack it (it came fully assembled) and plug it in – its plug*and*play – and to set my initial plants up, it took me about 30 minutes. I bought this with a Co2 system as well. To my disbelief this box is not only growing my plants at a rate of 1 inch per day, but by the time my first harvest came in, the younger plants were tall enough to move to the flowering chamber. This is pretty good and my first experience with a proper hydroponics system.
Well, lets see…. I can’t really find a single problem with this box, except maybe that it takes 2 people to move it around the house. But other than that, I haven’t seen a grow box looking this good before. I have made a few myself and bought from local dealers, but this is the best of the best. Everything from the clone chamber to the size is very well done. The customer service is very easy to deal with and very friendly. The system also comes with lock and key for security and came fully concealed.
Anyway, if you wanted a review, you got one. I give this company a 9.5 out of 10 rating.
I can’t say their perfect, but who is? Over all it was a good deal. Here their phone number if you need it. 888-HYDRO-81 and their website name is Dealzer.com grow box.
