Aaron,

Have you ever shopped at thrift stores? It sounds like you are uneducated or have a phobia about them. Departments stores donate brand new items with tags still attached all the time because they're a tax write-off. Very often I've run across new unopened merchandise and panty hose is one item that frequently gets discontinued and donated. People donate unopened gifts that they have no use for...relationships break up and spiteful ex-partners donate their old beaux's belongings in retalliation.

You really never know what treasures you might find. If you choose to give TS a try, I suggest going to shops that do not pre-price their merchandise because this is where the best bargains are found. I must warn you though, Thrift shopping is addictive.

The Little Guy is doing O.K.
Dropped on old leaf, grew a new one.
However, the roots aren't doing a thing. High phos. fertilizer and Superthrive have had failed to stimulate any new growth. The plant is doing all right but I would feel a lot better I saw some nice, vigorous root growth. The plants are in my greenhouse rack outside an get misted daily.
Any suggestions that don't involve me spending any money or visiting the dirty pantyhose store?
By the way, my mother bought me a box of brand new pantyhose while she was here visiting for my birthday. Now that I think about it, she never asked me what I wanted them for.

I can imagine your mother wondering what you needed them for, but not having the guts to ask...
