Thanks so much for the encouragement Sue! Sadly, I didn't make it to the meeting. Family stuff came up and by the time I could sneak away, the meeting would have been more than half over.
Oh well. Better luck next month. I was really looking forward to it too!
Grandma M - Yikes! I can't believe someone would be so snide at a place where everyone has a great common interest! Gladly, I didn't have anything like that happen. I think in my case, it was more of an age thing. I just need to keep sparking up a conversation and show them that I'm not just some young punk.
A couple of the younger members (My parents' age or so) were very friendly and talked my ear off, then insisted I take home an in bloom dendrobium NOID.
So I feel real bad that I missed this month's meeting.
Ethan - Don't feel bad, I get myself in trouble checking out links and stuff metion on the boards here all the time! I love this section, because you know if a vendor is good, you'll see it here. No need to go searching for good vendors, just browse around here a bit and you'll know em!
And yes... stashing away some dough in the ole piggy bank to apply towards my next EOM order!
I'm still just pleased as punch with the order. Not even the teeniest sign of stress on these 'chids since they've had time to settle in a bit. Simply fantastic!
Sue, you forgot to mention that there's no cure for this. 
I have found the one I belong to has it's own little group of 'friends'. If you are not a part of that group, you just get overlooked. If you ask a question they may treat you as if they don't have time to be bothered. I brought in a leaf, in a plastic baggie, and asked a question about it. My answer was a brisk, "I don't have any bugs on my plants so I can't help you". She was the speaker, (and a member) on the subject of 'Orchid Disease's and Pest'. I have belonged for 4 years but I don't think I will renew my membership again although I usually enjoy the speakers.
