Yeah... My brother lives in Tampa and around him they have lost tons of palms. The problem is people push the boundaries of cold hardiness. I do it on some of my personal palms, but not in the ones I sell (however, you can always has a 100 year freeze and lose some, know matter how careful). In Florida the past decade nurseries have pushed and sold palms that might do ok for years, but when a bad snap, like this year comes, then you are gonna lose 80-90% of the exotics. The coconut palm will never be able to make it there long range, unless you want to invest the time to wrap it and protect it every winter. North of Tampa is probably a zone 9a growing area. While Coconuts CAN survive in a zone 9, they prefer 10 and higher. If the zone 9 was a constant he'd be fine, but their winter this year has been a zone 8a winter or so, and that is what ours here is. So they are well below average..They even struggle and die in Miami. It is just very difficult for them, just like the Date Palms I try and grow here. I guess the easiest way to say it is that "God didnt want them here:...
thanks for the info and I'll pass it along. So far, his date palms are doing well, and they are the local raccoons favorite meal unfortunately! The house is on stilts and they have one right in front of the kitchen window, its sometimes a surprise to being doing dishes and see a raccoon in that palm right in front of your face! LOL. And you are right about the 100 year freeze. Have you heard about all the dead fish? The vultures are every where. One small lake had 15,000 lbs. of dead fish in it. Some of the mangroves died on the coast, but not all of them, thank goodness.

I am glad to hear it!!....This has been a very bad winter for palms. Although all my cold hardy are doing good, a few of my personal "experiment" palms are struggling. All the cold hardy ones are use to it by now and are just wishing they were in Florida..
They are nice to look at on these yucky and cold days!
They might not be able to tell the difference between Florida and Georgia this winter! My dad is in Hernando County, north of Tampa. He lost a coconut palm before the big freeze. He has amazed the county extention office in one way though, they told him no mangos would grow there and my dad was preparing for his second crop. He is right on the gulf so that does keep things a little warmer but he's bummed about the coconut palm. Any suggestions?

Again people it's alleged! Why don't we wait to pass judgment until there is an outcome. How many times have accused been innocent??? !
What's sad is a kid could get pi**ed off at a teacher and say anything. It then falls on the teacher to prove innocence. If this turns out to be false then I hope the kid is brought up on false charges!!!
Yep, that does happen.

I will ask my 20 year old. She's auditioning for University of West Georgia's voice performance degree this month, used to sing in a youth band and in show choir.

ignorant is someone that does not know any better....leaving you child to fend for himself when he has not done anything wrong is STUPID....
I do not think anyone can claim that they are so ignorant that a boyfriend is more important than their own child.
I know lots of people that are that way....but I can not see that any MAN is good enough for me to leave my child for them....
If I had to work at McDonalds for the rest of my life my Daughter would be my top priority....NOT A MAN......
prayers for this child
Amen to that, sister!

Oh that is terrible. It sounds as if someone got hit while working on their car.

Yay, Janice! I LOVE your boutique!!

As much as this hurts, please be thankful that you know where he is calling home and where he lays his head at night.
Some of us don't have that assurance. I have a 23 year old step daughter that we have not heard from in 4 years. We have no clue where she is, what she is doing, anything. She doesn't even know that her little (3yo) sister even exist.
Our family would be Thrilled to just know where she called "home".
Remember that as good parents, we raise our kids to be independent, self sufficent, law abiding, contributors to society. When they start being all those things, we know we have succeeded while we cry our tears.
That is so sad, I'm sorry.

I don't normally get close enough to tell the shape of their head!

My 19 yr old daughter was also home for a few days this week and I heard her tell a friend, "I'm going home tonight". I was so excited that she would stay another day, only to realize she meant that she was going home to the dorm. I thought the same thing as you, when did the dorm get to be home???
You are right, they are heartbreakers!

So after 16 YEARS, I am going back to school!
I have heard that there are websites where you can get used books- does anyone happen to know some good ones? I had no idea how much books can cost nowadays (or when daddy does not pay 
) I am starting on the 30th, and I need English 101, and Intro to Psych...TIA
Amazon usually carries them, just be careful about which version you need. Also, there is a place in Kennesaw that rents textbooks.

That big hobby place (maybe HobbyTown?) over on Barrett Pkwy before Town Center Mall has everything...right down to wallpaper!

OK, I'll retract my statement and say that honestly, it doesn't happen at MY son's Christian school. It's a very small school.
"son's Christian school" is the reason you aren't seeing it. My daughter had to leave a very small Christian school because of a mean girl. She still deals with them and she's 20 now... girls can really be mean and it usually has to do with jealousy. The prettier the girl, the meaner some of the other girls are...unfortunately.

I picked up ours the week before Thanksgiving at Best Buy. They had a lot at the time.

My daughter will be in it again this year. She'll be in her Snow Queen costume with the Dallas School of Dance. I'm taking my GMAT and won't be able to watch or take pictures. I'm hoping some of ya'll will get a picture or two of her for me!
