Discussion Forum

There is quite a lot of discussion going on in the discussion forums! In response to a member's request for information on various types of balloon inflaters, another member posted a suggestion about tracking down a helium tank by looking through the Yellow Pages. Think you might have something to add to this dialogue?

A post was recently added to a discussion on gerbs in the forum. A member had originally inquired if anyone else had a problem with gerb petals curling. One of our members recommended using a "finishing spray like crowning glory to coat both sides and then let them hydrate on a gerbera rack." Click here to see what other respondents have suggested.

A member had posted his successful campaign involving mailing all his local funeral directors a letter promoting his company's new Web Site. This proactive effort has paid off for the member, so he shared his strategy on the forum. Another member asked if the Web site was linked to area funeral directors sites and the overall reception the site had received. If you want to know the response, click here
