DO YOU GARDEN? I am researching a book called "My Very First Garden" (about edible gardening... fruits, vegetables, herbs, etc.) and need your true stories! Do you have a good (or even bad!) memory about the first garden you ever did? Was it inside in pots, outside when you were a kid, or in a community garden? Did you harvest anything or did the rabbits get it all? Please submit your short but true story to vikkibooks at yahoo dot com by April 27 2010. Your submission implies your consent to use your story and the possibility of (minor) editing. Thanks!

Isn't paying on Student Loans ever so much Fun???

No. We don't like sending this check every month, but we do it. And do it. And do it. And the balance never seems to go down.

Direct Loans
U.S.Department of Education
P O Box 530260
Atlanta, GA 30353-0260

Wasn't getting a student loan supposed to make our lives easier? Get an education, put that education to work while paying off the loan? It isn't working that way. We try to pay double the minimum due, and for some reason, the principal balance isn't going down, the minimum due is going up, and the interest due is never at a $0 balance, even when payments are applied.

We can't even get them to help us make the payment online. Waiting periods, and all that.

It just seems to us that whoever is running the above "company" is taking the taxpayer/student for a ride, and no one seems to care. They can get away with it because supposedly they are part of the government.

Anyone else have similar problems?
