This is boy is indeed obsessed with me (even though I KF'd him and

help.

Can you say 'Stalking'?

Harry.......can your wife suggest a therapist in his area?


Years ago, I had one poster accuse me of "stalking" because I had my
newsreader set to email as well as post....

... to each his own...

If you are offended by his communications, why not just kill file him.

I have..........yet he continues with his assault via email.

The only good thing out of all this is John has dropped all pretentions of
being a goody two-shoes sheriff concerned with improving the newsgroup.
He shows his true vocation as an instigator and faciliator without equal.

Witch Hazel?

From Wikipedia:

Witch-hazel (Hamamelis) is a genus of four species of flowering plants
in the family Hamamelidaceae, with two species in North America (H.
virginiana and H. vernalis), and one each in Japan (H. japonica) and
China (H. mollis).

They are deciduous shrubs or (rarely) small trees growing to 3-8 m tall,
rarely to 12 m tall. The leaves are alternately arranged, oval, 4-16 cm
long and 3-11 cm broad, with a smooth or wavy margin. The flowers are
produced on the leafless stems in winter, each flower with four slender
strap-shaped petals 1-2 cm long, pale to dark yellow, orange, or red.
The fruit is a two-parted capsule 1 cm long, containing a single 5 mm
glossy black seed in each of the two parts; the capsule splits
explosively at maturity in the autumn about 8 months after flowering;
the seeds are ejected with sufficient force to fly for distances of up
to 10 m.

Hamamelis species are used as food plants by the larvae of some
Lepidoptera species including Feathered Thorn.

The name Witch has its origins in Middle English wiche, from the Old
English wice, meaning "pliant" or "bendable". Hazel is derived from the
use of the twigs as divining rods, just as hazel twigs were used in England.

The Persian Ironwood, a closely related tree formerly treated as
Hamamelis persica, is now given a genus of its own, as Parrotia persica,
as it differs in the flowers not having petals. Other closely allied
genera are Parrotiopsis, Fothergilla and Sycopsis (see under
Hamamelidaceae). Witch-hazels are not closely related to the hazels.

Cultivation and uses

They are popular ornamental plants, grown for their clusters of rich
yellow to orange-red flowers which begin to expand in the autumn as or
slightly before the leaves fall, and continue throughout the winter.
Numerous cultivars have been selected for use as garden shrubs, many of
them derived from the hybrid H. × intermedia Rehder (H. japonica × H.
mollis).

The bark and leaves are astringent, the extract, also referred to as
Witch Hazel, is used medicinally. Extracts from its bark and leaves are
used in aftershave lotions and lotions for treating bruises. The seeds
contain a quantity of oil and are edible.

---------------

I use Witch Hazel for bumps and bruises seeing how's I bruise
easily. Works great and I love the smell.

I got the smell in my head, because my Great Grandfather who was
still alive when I was younger, was a barber and kept cutting hair
until the day he died. I remember the smell of Witch Hazel in
his shop - it's a very pleasant memory.

Oh, yes - sorry wandered off there for a minute.

Here a song about Hazel - Bob Dylan written in 2002.

Hazel, dirty blonde hair
I wouldn't be ashamed to be seen with you anywhere
You got something I want plenty of
A little touch of your love

Hazel, stardust in your eyes
You're going somewhere mama and so am I
I'd give you the stars high above
A little touch of your love

Chorus:
No, I don't need any reminders
To show how much I really care
But it's just making me blinder and blinder
Because I'm up on a hill
And still you're not there

Chorus

Hazel, you called and I came
Now don't you make me blameless, playing games
You got something I want plenty of
A little touch of your love
You got something I want plenty of
A little touch of your love

Now here is something I didn't know about Hazel.

What is Hazel Coppice?

Many British broad-leaved trees including hazel can be cut down to the
stump. They re-grow producing multiple stems called poles. These poles
can be harvested. In the case of hazel the poles are harvested
approximately every 8 years and converted into a wide range of products.

Facts about Hazel Coppice

- Coppicing is the oldest form of forestry; woven hazel screens used for
fishing have been dated back to 5,000 BC.

- Much of the South East of England’s ancient semi-natural woodland has
developed under the coppice management system.

- Hazel coppice products were an indispensable part of the rural economy.

- Coppice work is labour intensive employing ten times more labour than
modern forestry systems.

- Hazel coppice is a renewable source of wood.

- There are at least 400 gifted craftsmen working in the coppiced
woodlands of Great Britain.

- Good quality hazel coppice is a viable economic crop.

- Coppicing can offer rural employment.

- Coppicing is clean, quiet and environmentally friendly.

Landscape and Wildlife Conservation

- Many species of British flora and fauna have developed under the
coppice management system and are only found in working coppice.

- Coppice woodland offers a wide range of habitats.

- Long continuity of the coppice system has enabled many species to
adapt to this system.

- Coppice maintains close links with original ancient wildwood.

- Coppice is often appreciated for its magnificent displays of wild
spring flowers, some are almost entirely restricted to ancient coppice
e.g. Solomon’s Seal and the Early Purple Orchid.

- Woodlands are an important habitat for three-quarters of our 55
species of resident butterflies and the main habitat for 16 of them. In
rotation coppice gives diverse conditions and the numerous sunny
clearings are favoured by many species.

- The orange woodland fritillaries are almost extinct in the south and
east of England except in the coppice woodlands of Hampshire.

- Pearl bordered fritillaries are lost if coppice is out of rotation for
longer than 5 years.

- Nightingales and dormice can survive in derelict coppice for longer
periods but they need large areas of suitable habitat to sustain viable
breeding populations

Here is an example of things you can do with Hazel.

And isn't this interesting - There is a Hazel tree in the Celtic
Zodiac!!!

That's another thing about color vision which I just remembered.

Apparently, there is a correlation between eye color and night
vision. Folks with blue or green eyes have better night/color
vision that other colors.

Amazing huh?

Tom, here's what's kind of amazing, and I feel very fortunate. Im 51,
the third oldest of
5 kids, the maternal side of my family all had brown eyes, my dad's
family all had green or blue eyes, my brothers and sisters all have
very blue eyes, except for me. mine are a mixture of brown and blue..
"Hazel" if you will.

And I'm the only one of the 5 kids that doesn't need glass's. Not
bragging, but I feel exceptionally blessed to have very good,
especially night vision.
