plaintiger: I just added the http:// to her link but, it brings me to the same page.. it must be a password protected site.. :)

Similar to this site.. it would be like linking a fellowship message board to someone who is not a paying member who also is not a member of the fellowship..

plaintiger: I get to this page.. when I play around with the addy..



Go ahead.. click on the rose! LOL The.. Scarlet Rose..

ScarletRose: ooh - well done, Lady! thank You for giving another (and likely much clearer) explanation.  

Ms. ajtgirl, i tried to redo Your "happy easter" link like Ms. SR just redid Your Greenhouse link, but it just took me to a login page for an email service or something, so i un-redid it.

ajtgirl: Greenhouse

best way to do this is to put *a href="*paste the Then">http://www.linktowhatyouwant.com*">Then what you want to call it</a*> and take out the stars.. so your link looks like this..
<*a href="*http://www.ahrc.org/*">Greenhouse</a
*> just take out all the stars..

Foxy Lady: wow - good job, Ma'am! You *deserve* some sleep after that!

'night!

plaintiger: lol i'm hitting the hay all my games are played cept 6,i had 64.......nite

Foxy Lady: lol! i'm delighted to hear it, Lady - both because it's good news and because it's so cuuuuuuuuute!!

plaintiger: LOL my daffys are doing quite well.

ajtgirl: You're very welcome, Lady. i'm glad to be of service.

i don't know what's going wrong, but i see when i mouseover Your links that the URLs they're trying to go to all say "http://brainking.com/en/" where they should say "http://www."

so i don't know what's up with that... :/

good luck with it, Ma'am, and please let me know if i can be of any further assistance. :) and goodnight!

I'll experiment more tomorrow, if you all don't mind.

At least I have the instructions saved!

Good night all!

HappyEaster

It didn't work, not because your information was faulty...I guess I am not allowed to send the url for AHRC anywhere.
But this is great news for me.
I'll try it again.

ajtgirl: well thank You, Lady! :)

You *can* just type in the URL and it will turn into a link, but if you want to make a word or phrase into a link like i did with "CLEMATIS!", here's what You have to type. i'm going to put each part on a separate line because if i don't, it'll do its thing and You'll only be able to see the result and not how i got to it...but what you actually do is type all of this together, with no spaces except the one i indicate:

<

a

(this is where the space goes)

href=

" (that's double-quotes)

the URL You want to link to

" (that's more double-quotes)

>

the word or words You want to make into a hyperlink to Your URL


<

/

a

>

and that's it.

now You try! :)

(oh, and by the way, this looks all complicated, but if You memorize it and then use it often enough, You'll remember it. i don't know but a very few very basic things about HTML (and i have a lousy memory), but i manage to remember how to do this. :)

plaintiger:

You are one handy man to have around!
How do you link a web site to this message board?
Do you just type in the url?

ScarletRose: mmmmm!

plaintiger: hehe.. I didn't even notice! LOL I think coconut cream!

Foxy Lady: well Your loss of memory is our gain.

ScarletRose: wow - what dessert do You live in, Lady? lemon meringue pie?

sorry. chose not to resist.

plaintiger: Because i forgot how to spell them

hehe.. I live in dessert.. and actually.. roses do very well here in Wyoming.. so do Lilacs.. we don't often see much fungus.. maybe in the climates with more moisture..??

We bought all different kinds.. I know there is one Peace Rose for sure.. (my favorite).. next time I go to the garage I will write down all the types..

Foxy Lady: daffys. how cuuuute! =) (i've never heard them referred to that very cute way before. =)

ScarletRose: I'm not having good luck with my rose bush at all.My peony bushes are peeking thru and my lilac are all budded.Even my daffys have bloomed but our nites are cold still.Its not safe here to plant veggies until after Memorial Day.Oh our garlic is up.

Eriisa: 80 lordy were still running heat.

ajtgirl: I just adore Clematis

ScarletRose:
What kind of roses did you buy?
Scarlet you can probably plant roses if the ground is pliable and warm. Make sure they are sheltered by a wall or an arbor if you wish them to live. Roses grow very slowly, especially tea roses, and are extremely delicate. The PH and water has to be perfect. They are victims of fungus and bugs.

May I recommend: a CLEMATIS! In place of roses you'll get so much more beauty with way less effort.

* * * edited by plaintiger to add hyperlink * * *

Foxy Lady: we usually don't put in veggies til about mid May.. but, I think we can do the rose bushes by the end of this week hopefully..

We got a heat wave here in North Texas. S'psed to be in upper 80's today.

We don't plant around here till the end of May.Were at a chilly 39 now.

ajtgirl: well I guess so!! LOL you are as bad as me and my mother.. we bought I don't know how many rose bushes about 2 weeks ago.. not waiting to plant them! LOL

Wow, I am beat. I spent 5 hours in the garden today, cleaning out the beds, adding some topsoil, pruning and preparing for planting. I can't wait for May 15!

BerniceC: nasty! good You know about 'em though!

plaintiger: hahaha....we have what we call "gold tops" they are very dangerous, but you would be surprised at the number of people that get poisoned by them....they look much like a real mushie, but have a gold tinge to the top.

BerniceC: heehee...just please be sure not to pick and eat any LBM's by accident!

plaintiger: hahahaha....well there wont be too many left later today as Im going to mow the lawns but after the next rain....hopefully LOLOL

BerniceC: heehee...i'm sure i don't know, Lady! :D

i guess they're not exactly free-range, if that's what You mean...

plaintiger: 5. Most wild mushrooms should not be eaten raw or in large quantities, since they are difficult to digest.

Would you class the ones in my yard as being wild??
they arent farmed....I bought mushroom compost and spread it around and as it still had spore in it when it rains now they grow...what i do with the first 1/2 dozen or so is break them up and spread them around the lawn again....keeps them going LOL

ty I am an amateur botanist..but still fungi ID is difficult even for pros at times

from the "poisonous mushrooms" section of that article i linked to:

There is no quick and easy test that will separate edible from poisonous mushrooms-including peeling the cap, testing with a silver spoon, checking for insect damage or any other folk method. To avoid mushroom poisoning, you should follow these five rules:

1. Identify each and every mushroom you collect, and only eat those whose identification you are sure of. When in doubt, throw it out.

2. Strictly avoid: any mushroom that looks like an amanita (parasol-shaped mushrooms with white gills); all little brown mushrooms; all false morels.

3. Some people are allergic to even the safest mushrooms. The first time you try a new wild mushroom, it is important that you eat only a small amount and wait 24 hours before eating more.

4. As with other foods, rotting mushrooms can make you ill. Eat only firm, fresh, undecayed mushrooms.

5. Most wild mushrooms should not be eaten raw or in large quantities, since they are difficult to digest.

and be careful: puffballs are harmless, but some other mushrooms, like the death cap mushroom, can resemble a puffball in their early stages. from another site:

Landcare Research mycologist (mushroom expert) Peter Johnston said when the death cap was young it was easily confused with a puffball, which some people ate.

"Very difficult to tell them apart... you have got to know what you are eating," he said.

Toxins in death caps stop human cell division, meaning organs which form new cells, such as the liver, stop working, Dr Johnston said.

here's an interesting article on mushrooms including which ones are edible and which are poisonous. i don't think it's exactly comprehensive, but it should tell people some stuff.

you get to the three sections of the article using the links in the brown bar at the top of the article. it took me a while to figure that out.

nobleheart: This Foxy Lady only eats mushrooms that i buy,i love them with onions and hot peppers.

nobleheart: at the moment in my yard there are dozens of mushrooms growing after all the rain we have had...I break a few up and throw them around to let the spores keep growing for the future...My friends have been twicce this week and picked a feed...I love mushrooms :)

as far as puffballs are concerned I heard that they are all poisonous but really have no idea:(

I am being very careful ty FoxyLady

nobleheart: I'm very leary of picking mushrooms.

nobleheart: lol! i love the snowman! :D or the fungusman, i guess.

they are fresh
researched them..think they are Calvatia gigantea.
http://botit.botany.wisc.edu/toms_fungi/calvatia.html

shall I try them?
I am being very cautious because i know many fungi are edible & delicious but many are very poisionous.
but i heard ALL puffballs are edible.has anyone had any experience with them?

nobleheart: Thanks for the info and the site,

Foxy Lady: bok choy :
http://www.wegmans.com/kitchen/ingredients/produce/vegetables/images/bok_choy.jpg
Bok choy is an Asian member of the cabbage family that has a mild flavor. It consists of long, thick, white stalks, topped by intensely blue-green leaves. Bok choy is a familiar vegetable in Chinese restaurants, where it appears in won ton soup and many stir-fried dishes.

it is more like chard or broccoli in taste.
