Show quoted text
 
In some messages it has in blue, "show quoted text" How does one put
that in ones message. hat is a lot better than doing a copy of a
message and stuffing more bull to have to read thru to get to theactual
post. At least it gives a person a way to either go back to the
original message or not, depending on the whim of the reader.
thx

Lines of quoted text usually begin with an arrow () or sometimes a
colon (:). Both characters should turn the quoted text blue or some
other color. For example,

Text quoted with an arrow;


and...

:Text quoted with a colon.

You can type in the characters yourself like I just did, but your
newsreader should be capable of automatically adding them to each line
of quoted text when you reply to a post. Check your reader's setup
(options, preferences, configuration, etc.).

Hello Frank, he's using googles interface. I think there is an option to
show quoted text while using their web reader but i'm not sure how it's
done.

I started out working for someone, and then went on my own. It takes all of
the above as well as doing a good job at a competitive price. I wouldn't
want to be starting out now tho...too many people have jumped on the
bandwagon and are cutting each others throats with their prices.

So I've noticed. Some claim to be the cheapest while others are price
gougers. But few around here do quality work -- most of them I call
"slash-n-dash" services. I'm thinking that quality at a -reasonable-
price might make the difference around here. Got a favorite chemical
mix? I've been using Lilly Miller's Weed-n-Feed and it does ok. My
uncle used to swear by it. Is there something better?

I mix my own broadleaf herbicide, I buy the components in bulk. Unless you
have lots of weeds a blanket herbicide application like weed and feed isn't
required since it has no pre-emergent value, it only controls existing
weeds.

Weed b gone liquid and a pump up or hose end sprayer will allow you to
target your pesticide application to just the weedy areas. It also works
better than granular herbicide on the hard to kills like oxalis, spurge,
sorrel etc.

The biggest problem around here is clover -- whole yards full of it.
Personally, I like it better than grass, but then I'm wierd. I'll try
a broadleaf spray and reseed.

And before I crash, I just have to jump on the soapbox for a
moment.... I can't believe that there is so much hatred for the
Dandelion! It's not just edible but every part is edible, and not too
bad if cooked up right. My biggest gripe is that such a common weed is
detested even though it has been proven to actually -improve- the
overall functions of the circulatory system -without- side effects,
and -without- a prescription. And it makes a pretty decent decaf
latte. If there's proof that God really exists, it might just be the
Dandelion -- yet we exterminate it as an offensive weed. Kind of
ironic how history repeats itself..... end soapbox.

None that are labeled for cool season turfgrass, with the exception of
Isoxaben, and its efficacy isn't real great.

You'll have much better control of clover with a liquid application of
herbicide such as Ortho's weed b gone. Clover has a waxy cuticle so the
granular control products have a hard time sticking to the foliage, where
liquid will coat and stick. One trick is to add a product called
spreader-sticker to your mix, that -really- helps its efficacy.

When I lived in San Diego, bunch of years ago, there was a woman who
remembered eating dandelion greens at her grandmother's house.. picked a
bunch in the yard and fed 'em to the family- they ended up going to the
emergency room 'cause they thought they were dying, turned out what she
thought to be big dandelions were some relative of tobacco:D

Hi John, that tobaccy juice can really turn a person green when swallowed.
My uncle (god rest) used to chew that mail pouch stuff like it was going
outta style, so as a youngin' I was always curious what the big attraction
was, besides the cool spitting side effect.

Never failed to make me wanna hurl, whenever I'd get the nerve to try it
again :)

Don't do it dude. I did for a while in high School. Skoal Bandits
came out towards the end, gave it up after that. I did like the wintergreen,
great flavour ;)
