Ooooh puddy, I'm so going to take you up on that. Let me get some pics together and some other info. and I'll send it to you and see what you think.

ROFLMAO! I guess the spring time brings out the Christopher Lowell in all of us! Hahaha!

Wellllll, contrary to what the name would indicate ... hahahaha!

Anyone here good with landscape design? We had to remove existing shrubs because they died. Not sure what the problem was ... the shrubs were here when we moved in and then over the next 1 1/2 years, they died. (Two crape myrtles and some weeping tree survived.) I have foundation beds that need planting but I really don't want to go with the typical shaped shrubs. I love the look of cottage gardens with everything growing close together but with a few evergreens/conifers and shaped shrubs here and there ... sort of an organized chaos. I think they call this a contemporary cottage garden style. I know what plants I like, but just don't how to put them together to get the end result and my perfectionist tendencies have me crippled. I am scared to give it a go on my own. If anyone does this professionally or even as a hobby, I could REALLY use some help! (I can post pics of my house, bed dimensions, etc.) Here are some landscape design pics that appeal to me. (My house faces west so it gets full sun and my growing zone is 7a.) Contemporary Cottage Garden Love this look! Don't want ivy growing everywhere, too much. I do love how everything is close together as you would see in a classic cottage garden, but not a "messy" looking as a classic cottage garden. Wouldn't really call this one a cottage garden but what I like is the structure of the evergreens or conifers (whichever they are) with the flowering perennials. Ok sorry for bringing all this estrogen into the clubhouse, but since we have such a diverse group here, I'm thinking surely SOMEONE around here can help.

You are welcome. I know how important things like this are and if it were my gift, I'd be so upset if it was somehow destroyed because the coating wasn't sufficient. Of course, your wife could always just display it and not actually use it. Either way, I'm sure she will love it!

I've also read that they military did that so that his body could not be recovered to be entombed and have a shrine built. They didn't want him martyred. Not sure how true this is, but I did read this.

No, I don't think so. You have to fire the pottery at high temperatures so like Shane said, unless you have a kiln or one killer oven, it just isn't going to be that easy to do it yourself. Not to mention, are you going to hand wash it every time? If not, you better be safe and take it back to the pottery place.

I would take it back to them and have them clear coat it and fire it again ... even if I had to pay extra for it.

Good read, idntyx! I am in awe of navy seals. These men truly are AWESOME ... inspiring great admiration! Even with all of our problems, there really is none other like the United States or the men and women that make up our armed forces.

Welcome AES!

+30 and I'm guessing the answer to that question would be no ... no longer around?

Does anyone know if 30+ is still around?
