Re: which list is which

Thanks Kitty, you're right.  Sometimes I can't get to read my emails until
the weekend - they pile up in a folder devoted to this group.  Then I wonder
if I'm too late to respond - or respond and feel foolish when the answer has
already been given.

I was just too sensitive because several other questions I asked had gone
unanswered and I think I'm having one of those post-pms weeks (I'm starting
The Change - there has got to be some herbs I can eat and make into tea to
help this process.).  On top of that I've been out to one of our big prisons
(936 inmates at high medium security - life without parole types) to do some
training.  It was such a dismal sight!  Several of our prison are landscaped
beautifully by the inmates.  This place is in western Oklahoma and doesn't
even have the sculptural beauty of tumbleweeds on the yard!

I swear that we have less trouble at the "pretty prisons" than at these
places.  Instead of finishing my annual TB screening study, I'll do a study
to compare the number of nature related inmate programs (gardening, wild
horses, dogs, etc.) with the number of assaults and serious incidents.

So leaving that place left me in a foul mood for awhile.  Isn't it amazing
how environment can get the best of you sometimes?  No wonder hanging out at
the barn where I keep my horse and puttering in the yard helps!  Later, Fran

Fran,
Sorry about that.  If I'd known the answer, I would have replied, but I've
never grown fennel.  Sometimes it takes waiting for someone who reads only
the digest to pick up on your question and the answer comes a week later.
I've had several of my questions go unanswered.  If I still can't find out,
I ask again.  Hopefully someone who knows will jump on this one.

Kitty
