Start by watering it only once in two weeks. If the leaves drop before the two weeks are up, water when that happens and then water at that interval from then on. If it is a cactus, water it even less. Good Luck!

ha ha , I love your humor. Thanks for everything.:)

Sally, I get the Betty Crocker newsletters as well and I didn't have a problem. I have a Mac and was using Safari.

The pillsbury calender offer wont work for me say my email is invaild any ideas on what to do

I had trouble getting the site to accept my info as well. I was using Firefox, but when I jumped over to Internet Explorer, it worked fine for me.

Won't let me fill in the information....

yeah, it wont let me sign up either and says im not a member but i get Betty Crocker newletters... I couldn't get that calender either...sigh

I so can not get the link to work for the calendar. It asks for my email to verify member status and then NOTHING.... Any suggestions ?

i've been trying to get signed up for an hour.. all i'm able to do is put in my email, and it keeps me stuck there! it sucks!!!!

Thanks for the info, Oldtimey. It just goes to show you that with all the corporate buyouts you never know who's who. I just checked the link you posted. I'm a stickler for healthier ingredients so there are really only a few of the brands that I would use but I like to cook and I'm good at adapting recipes. And Goob, even those of us who were born with a "green thumb gene" can kill plants or just can't grow certain ones that others have no problem growing. Like #2 mom, I've also killed a cactus, although I think it took me longer than a month. But if something happens to your plant, don't be afraid to try again or to try something different.

I just got a plant for my office from someone here at work! She's gonna show me how to take car of it! :D

Also, if you look carefully on the packages of most of the brands listed, you will see the name "General Mills" in small print.

Barb, I too had always thought that Pillsbury and Betty Crocker were rival companies. However, during a recent Publix promotion, I discovered that both Pillsbury and Betty Crocker (as well as Progresso, Muir Glen, and a myriad of other brands) are part of General Mills!!!.....Go figure. To see the complete list of brands that are part of General Mills, go to http://www.GeneralMills.com and double-click on "Brands" near the top of the page.

That's odd. I always thought that Pillsbury and Betty Crocker were rival companies. I signed up for this calendar and received an email welcoming me and there was a link for coupons. I clicked on the link and the last one on the Pillsbury coupon link was for Betty Crocker Potatoes. Go figure. I thought it was funny when the information screen looked suspiciously similar to the EatBetterAmerica calendar site which is supposed to be a Betty Crocker site. Oh, well. Hope there are some interesting recipes.

I know I can kill a cactus with love (water) in less than a month.

Yes, Virginia, you *can* overwater a plant. Water does not equal love. :( Good luck!
