You said it so perfectly.

I lurk in another group (Rec.Auto.Ford.Mustang??), I would not dare
reveal
any information about myself in that group, knowing very well it will be
use
to assault me later.

Well then you should hope that no one in that group googles your nym.

Cam
enjoy your SRT!

I thought it was a Dodge Magnum SRT-8. Either way it's not a Volvo. Enjoy.

My name is Lydia and I'm 'tree yers oood' - plus 27 years makes me 30. My
husband, Adam, and I live in a new house south of Seattle, Washington and
our meager pond is about 500 gallons and 8 or 9 months old now. The
enjoyment it's given us in that short time (flowering water hyacinth,
flowering water lily, flowering pickerel rush, tadpoles turned into frogs,
night time adult frog singing, birds stopping in for a drink, etc) has made
it well worth the excruciating pickaxe digging we endured to dig the hole.
I don't usually have any advice to offer to others here, but I sure do
appreciate and enjoy what I mooch from you all!

Where are you 'south' of seattle? I'm west... in Port Orchard.

Hi James,
Cool! My dad still lives in Port Orchard. He and I moved there in
1988. I went to Marcus Whitman Jr. High, then South Kitsap HS. Skip ahead,
skip ahead, and now I live in Kent (the 'south of Seattle' part).

I know in your roll call you mentioned you guys had just bought your 3.5
acres. Have you come here from far off lands or have you been in the area
for a while - just a new house?

"Better late than never." New Jersey zone 7a
Hank here with the DW Lynn.
I've had aquariums since I was a kid, then went to sal****er and
still have one 60 gal. tank.
In 1998 I temporarily lost the use of my right arm in a work
related accident. I decided to keep busy and put up a new fence and
put in a small pond.(Sure I couldn't put jeans on one handed or tie my
own shoes ...... if your righty try brushing your teeth lefty ......
don't rip your lips off .... BUT I COULD build a little pond)
It was a long summer and my neighbors thought I was crazy
laying on the ground with my trusty little gardening shovel digging
three foot deep post-holes for my fence. When I came home with a
pallet of stone and started digging the pond they knew they were
right.
I finished the pond in September just around the time I
regained the use of my arm. So I used BV's method of planting plus a
handful of feeder GF. and I have been PORGed ever since.
It is amazeing how much wildlife is drawn to such a small
puddle of water and how the neiborhood kids are transformed from
monsters into angels (almost) as the GF and koi nibble on thier
fingers.
I have learned alot about ponds and people from this NG and I
think I would be lurking even if I nolonger had a pond
................... Thanks Gang! Hank

(Do you know where your water quality is?)

At the bottom of each topics page is a link "Suggest a Site". Surf to the
category that makes sense, and just scroll to the bottom. Your site will
then be reviewed and added to the DB in that category. We use a review
process to ensure nobody posts bogus or offensive sites.

Did mine, so I'm good. ;o) ~ jan
(Do you know where your water quality is?)

The RT is the 340 hp hemi, and is now available to buy.
The SRT-8 is the over 500 hp version. Blown Hemi!

So, now I know 2 things about you:

1. You know how to google!
2. You have an interest in all my interests, which is why you are
electronically proving that you can trace me! Some call it stalking!

Did you find out anything else about me?

Back to ponding! Do you own a pond? Koi? Any related topic?

Hello,
My name is Kelly Rowe, 37 year old mother of two in California. I've
been lurking off and on, daydreaming about a pond for quite a while
now. Got a stack of black vinyl in a pretty gift bag on Mother's day,
and unorthodox gift, to say the least, but I was thrilled.

I laid out the pond outline the day I got the liner and my
long-suffering husband chiseled it out of our hardpan for me before
dinnertime. The next day we went to Lowe's to get a new liner that was
actually big enough to fit the the hole we'd made (learned a little bit
about pond calculations the hard way) I got some bog plants, a lily and
a ton of anacharis (how do you pronounce that?) from Lilyblooms, waited
a few days for everything to settle in and then added ten comets.

Two weeks, nine dead fish, a million mosquito larvae and about 100
gallons of really smelly water later I began to realize that, although
naturally balanced ponds may happen all over the world, it wasn't going
to happen in my backyard without a little help from me. I drained to
pond, put the plants in the wading pool, the surviving fish into a
bucket, hauled out the nasty liner (I don't ever want to see the strange
things that grow in the dark mud underneath a pond liner again) dug out
a bog area beside the pond, added a pump, a bog filter pvc thingy, a ton
bunch of gravel and even more plants.

So far, so good. Nothing's dead, nothing's stinky. The water's clear,
the plants are recovering from their rude relocation and Poppy (the lone
comet) seems very content. When the budget bounces back from this, I'm
getting some test kits and another batch of fish. I am in love with my
little patch of water, I sneak out to visit it several times a day.

Except...except now I can't stop thinking about that leftover liner
sitting in the garage and I'm thinking a bigger bog or a little
streamlet might be awfully cool. I have it, why not use it? All I need
to get is more gravel and a few more plants and some tubing, maybe a
more powerful pump...hardly anything, really. And there's that space
out front that would be so perfect for a couple of half-barrel ponds. I
mean, I'm going to have to find someplace to put all the extra plants
that will be outgrowing my pond eventually. I can't just throw them
away, now, can I? Ooh! I bet I can find a place for a lotus if I think
about it...

Oh dear...something's started here, hasn't it?
