Hi Liberty,
I met a man here in Austin, TX yesterday who invited me to join this forum and he mentioned that he lives in Gainesville...as do you...and I was wondering if you know any people named Blaisdell. My sister lived in Gainesville for years before she died there in 1999. Her eldest son Billy died there in 2004. Sorry, don't mean to be depressing about the deaths. I'm sure that they are well and whole again. Still, my nephew Jackie still is there as is Betsy and Susan and Judy...
In any case, it's nice to "meet" you...hope you'll check out myspace/theblackshepherd

Hope to hear from you sometime...

Hi, How long have you been on Zoobird? I'm fairly new and getting acquainted with a lot of nice people. I'd like to hear more about sustainable lifestyles and in particular how you fit into that. I also would like to invite you to join my new group, Environmantal Zoo where you can express your concerns, solutions, ideas or anything else you'd like to share. Look to see you there.

The rain barrel idea looks like something I could implement with my middle schoolers! Great idea!
