Please don't go. We went through this once before, with another forum member that has dyslexia. We have all manner of people here. Aside from two with dyslxia, we have two with Aperegers Syndrome and we have those with ADHD, panic disorders,.... This forum is like a community and a family. It is also public. No one should ever have to be publicly humiliated. If anybody has a beef against someone, it absolutely needs to be done privately. That is part of what the PM's are designed to do. Playful teasing, which myself and the above two moderators like to do is one thing, but publicly humiliating another member is totally inappropriate.[b said:Quote[/b] (Vixen @ Mar. 14 2006,10:02)]I'm 24 yr's old, and I am dyslexic.
Your post has offended me as shorely this forum is about plant's and not grammer.
If your offended by my spelling iver don't read it, or even still maybe this is not the forum for me.

The trouble with you know-it-all Americans is that assume too much. Why do you think I'm quoting you? Can't you read? Do you really want your grammar and spelling criticised?

none of those "mistakes" are mine..
I didn't write those.
if you are going to criticize me, at least use my own words and not someone elses!
and that is so lame and predictable..
"lets find some mistakes the grammar police made"!
so unoriginal and boring..
please..2nd graders might think that is clever..no one else does.

Thanks for reminding me why I'm proud to be an American. Before the rant becomes "where are the WMD's", someone lock the thread. Isn't this "Venus Flytrap (Dionaea ) Care Information & Tips"?[b said:Quote[/b] (Hotspur @ Mar. 15 2006,10:04)]The trouble with you know-it-all Americans is that assume too much.
Thanks I was wondering what I should do about the flower stalk, as I read about them dieing staight after flowering, should I cut it now[b said:Quote[/b] (jimscott @ Mar. 15 2006,3:01)]Vixen, nice plants! Thank you for sharing with us. My only concern is that a store bought VFT's that flower soon thereafter, are potentially set up to drain the plant of its energy - and thus die shortly thereafter. You may want to strongly consider cutting the flower stalk and have the plant, as well as the Sarras be outside. Plants that go through a dormancy period need lots of direct sunshine and a good few months of rest, in order to do well and flower the following year. I bought a VFT and put it in a terrarium. It flowered and promptly died. Food for thought.
This is my thread, about my plant, please don't turn it into something else.[b said:Quote[/b] (Hotspur @ Mar. 15 2006,3:04)]The trouble with you know-it-all Americans is that assume too much.

I know it's hard to snip a flower off one's first VFT, but it's like putting off short run and short lived fun, for the real deal when it has a legitimate opportunity to do well.[b said:Quote[/b] (Vixen @ Mar. 15 2006,12:00)]Thanks I was wondering what I should do about the flower stalk, as I read about them dieing staight after flowering, should I cut it now
