Re: [AGA-sc] [Fwd: no room for anymore TAGs]

["David Lass" <davidlass@comcast.net>]

Thanks for your good wishes on my back -- the surgery really fixed 
everything, and I now have feeling back in my feet and lower legs, and no 
longer feel like I am going to trip and fall every time I take a step.
Distributing TAGs really works well. The current ones that I get I pass out 
to the stores I see who do the most with plants. E.G. This morning I was 
down at Rumnford Pet in East Providence, RI. They have a lot of planted 
tanks and selle a great selection of plants, so I usually bring them three 
or four TAGs. Just so happened this morning that there were two Customers 
there, both of whom have planted tanks. I gave them two of the TAGs I had 
brought, and I'm going to send Maurino, the fish room manager, a couple 
more.
Educating the fishheads out there about plants is a constant chore. But as 
my mother used to say "If you think education is expensive, try ignorance."
Take care,
David
