i never went away, er, from the thread at least. i mean i went out of town for 10 days and there was a move in there (with no 'net connection for about 2 weeks+when out of town).

thanks for the kind words though. and i think you're a really great person too!

the LED experiment sounds cool. and i know what you mean about loving the growing and learning. me too!

so what is the word with the LED plant? and thing yet?

i'm sure the bonai will pull through. i can't wait to get into that myself.

good growing!
