This has always been one of our more cardinal rules, and I can't believe I find myself in the position of having to "remind" everyone about this. Especially some of our more veteran members. I am simply going to quote the...

GreatMartin If that is my posting my movie URLs I would like to know directly--if not I will think it is all right. I just have a hard time getting the URL to post correctly within my post. They do not take away from myLot so maybe I am taking your 'reminder' wrong. It...

Hanni Harel @NormanDarlo That is a clever idea to use bubble wrap to insulate the greenhouse. There is a building in this neighborhood where they insulate the plants in winter. I think that is a clever idea.
