on 6/19/2009 I’m not sure which is worse, someone that unknowingly publishes inaccurate advise or a foolish bigot. I think the foolish bigot wins! Best wishes from Steve and Russ, a gay couple going on 14 years together, the good Lord willing, and we’re sure she will be.

on 6/10/2009 I am not sure who this person is but they are trying to kill your hummingbirds. Maybe this person is black, thats the only explination I can think of for being so dumb to say one cup of water to one cup of sugar. Anyway, the correct ration is 1 to 4. One part sugar to 4 parts water. It is very cheap and easy to do this a gallon of home made hummingbird nector will only cost about 1 dollar to make at home. To convert this to language blacks will understand its 100 pennies. Maybe the local bank can give you a loan for this if you even have a bank account.
