I really think Armando has been hacked as my PM came from him.

I got an email saying that I got a private message from Emilita200 on this site, but when I went to my private messages, there was no such message. Did you all receive an actual PM, or just an email?

What? I could have gotten those cuttings for $100? I paid $500. She said they were really rare and tasty and sparkled. Said they were the size of basketballs and tasted like bubblegum. Figured how could I go wrong. Should be here soon. Fingers crossed!

Armando, I got your voice mail.  I don't feel right about calling Jon about this tonight, it's not really a critical issue.  I think it's easy enough for folks to just ignore the spam.  I sort of felt left out, though - I've got maybe 50 to 100 other spam messages today but not from this user!  Another member emailed Jon about this already this morning so he'll deal with it when he's got time.

You mean she is not sending me the cuttings? I sent her $100 for every cutting she is sending me. I hope it's not spam.

That's OK Emilta is way better but sorry Pete she and I are getting married. Just sent her 10K for a traditional wedding dress she needs to buy before coming to America to meet me. Love is blind

I finally got one from Tamara.
How much should I pay for a fig the size of watermelon, taste and look like watermelon. Due to its size, it grows on the ground. The skin is green with stripe, the meat is red. Apparrently it's a great variety, because of its hard skin and no opening. The best part is long shelf life about 2 weeks.
