Subject: Re:  Spanish moss

Spanish moss, Tillandsia usneoides, is a flowering plant in the Bromeliad family.  (Though it was common where I grew up, I’ve never noticed the flower, which is apparently rather small and not flamboyant.)  The only reason I know for concern is if there is enough of it to interfere with photosynthesis by the trees where it is found – not likely in this area.  It is not a parasite.  The only thing it gets from the trees is a place to hang, so to speak.  It derives its nourishment and moisture from the atmosphere – pretty efficient lifestyle.  It was previously found only on the coastal plain of North Carolina.  Its presence in Moncure may be explained as the result of introduction by migrating species such as birds or humans or seeds blowing in the wind.  Enjoy.

Subject: Link your grocery cards to help our schools

You have to link your Harris Teeter VIC card and Food Lion MVP card EVERY year in order to get donations to the schools (or other charities).
Even if you don’t have a child in school, you can help our local schools out everytime you go grocery shopping.
Here is some information to start with -

Subject: Thank you Amber

For changing the tone of the chatlist today.

You are right, there are amazing things happening in our community and you are right to point out the generosity found here.

Tami Schwerin and Lyle Estill have given so much to our community. I am always saddened when they are slammed here.
They both work very long hours, often with their kids at their side doing good public work. This work goes way beyond Piedmont Biofuels, The Abundance Foundation and the Plenty.

Subject: Antonella, the Plenty and irresponsible Matt

Matt,

The Plenty is indeed a interesting social experiment propagated by your employer and a group of businesses affiliated with your employer.

A leap of faith must be taken by all involved as their is no guarantee of their stated value, including yourself.  You agreed to accept the plenty in lieu of real money, Antonella does not.
