Almost two weeks now and no spam comments.
Almost three weeks and still no spam comments.
About two and a half months now and still no spam comments.

« Last post by LilyBLily on June 01, 2023, 06:26:20 AM »We've had almost no rain lately after a winter of no snow and the ground is dry, dry, dry. I foolishly dug up some plants from the yard of a friend who is moving, and this is hardly good transplant weather. Additionally, I started some grass seed to patch the lawn a couple of weeks ago. To my shock, it has sprouted. Now my task is to keep it from burning out.

« Last post by Matthew on May 31, 2023, 04:38:31 PM »We had some strange weather around here with a frost in early spring. Killed one of my Azaleas and slowed my poor Easter lily and hydrangeas. Somehow my Asiatic lilies are doing better than ever, and my rose bushes aren't doing too bad. I'll probably replace the Azalea since it was doing fine for years. Haven't decided if I want to add any more flowers during the summer or wait until next Spring.

They look like nothing without their flowers for most of the year, but when they are in flower they make a lovely display and people are going round looking for young ones shooting up next to the parent plant. Those in pots have to be guarded

Spammer: "Can I speak to the owner?"
Me: "He's not in. Can I take a message?"
Spammer: "That's okay. I can speak to a manager. Are you the manager?"
Me: "No. He's not in either. Can I take a message?"
Spammer: "Can I speak to whoever is in charge of the business when they're not in? I can hold."
The last line was a mistake.
Me: "Sure." *Click to put on hold.*
There was no one else here at the time.
They waited on hold for maybe two minutes before hanging up and calling again.
I didn't answer the second time.
You can simply say: "Hold on, I'll call him." Yell: "Harry, it's for you." Then leave the phone off the hook.
If they are looking for a female say, "She's upstairs with a client. Do you want to wait?"
