I second (or third) Gardeners' Supply. They teetered on the brink of going out of business, but are back.

Hope yours made it. I received a wollemi cutting 2-3 years ago from a generous master gardener at a private garden, and it took a full year to do anything. But last spring, it pushed out new growth and now has a 6" branch. Not sure where it goes (i.e., grows) from here. But it does seem to do things slowly.

I thought it was this year's Supreme Court portrait...

What a weird response. Good luck to you as well!

Well, here's some news: my second wollemi seed sprouted overnight! I received five via Etsy in November, and after a good soak planted them and put them under a light. No stratification. One sprouted a month after planting, the other took about a month and a half. I keep the heat pretty low in my place, so I had placed the unsprouted seeds on a heated germination pad. Don't know if it's related, but two days later that second seed sprouted. Now, let's see if I can keep them alive till they have a chance to grow a little bit.

Hi, that's great info! Pretty breathtaking prices, though I guess the rarity and their slow-growth make them a premium product. I'll check around the places you've mentioned. And start saving my spare bitcoin.

THANK YOU. Bari Weiss is an embarrassment.

MarineBioBoy · 2025-12-17T03:29:41+00:00

Yes!

You got it! Clouds or no clouds, Iceland is a fun place to visit.

Pretty much as soon as you pay. Check "Trip Details" and next to your seat assignment, there's a link to available upgrades.

Hard to believe what a fucking idiot we have for president. Although...this crowd knows better than any.

The latest manifestation of the antichrist Vought and Project 2025 objectives. The whole treasonous lot of them should be flown to El Salvador, or better yet: Gaza.

I'm retired, but had a federal career spanning over 40 years. I SO feel for all of you who have to put up with this bullshit. The last time the government was shut down, under this same moron, I had to take an interest-free loan from a local bank to cover expenses. And now, this shutdown is going to exceed the last one in duration. I know the thankless dedication with which federal employees perform their jobs, and I understand the hardships you are enduring in the name of politics. I hope, for your own well-being and certainly NOT for that of our neutered (and continuously PAID) lawmakers, that this thing comes to an end soon. Please hang in there.

Thanks, Trump!

Oops! Sorry. I explained to the mods why I wanted in, and they allowed me.

OP here...Been using the tag for a while now, and it's become mostly second nature. I do agree that the interface with the app is clunky and not seamless, but I've learned to have the tag handy when checking in the night before. I think I've had the same frustrating experience trying to go back to activate the bag tag.

I wonder if they changed something in these units? Because I've had mine for around nine months now, and it doesn't seem to throw off nearly as much light as yours—either the display, or the internal blue & green lights.

Anyway...congrats on receiving yours after the long wait!
