Here I have backed up all of the blogs I wrote on Multiply, over the years. They are old, and apparently the images do not get imported, but it was worth a try. Currently I cannot seem to see any posts, but in the Dashboard it says I have over 1200 posts imported here. It may take a while to get this working.

Wow it is cold out there! With the rain, and the wind, the temperatures are hovering around freezing. They are predicting SNOW tonight! And if it does snow, it will be the first time in about 45 years that it has snowed in Tokyo in April.
Yikes! It feels cold here due to the cloudy weather and wind, but i guess about 50F. Cold enough for me to be back in turtleneck ;-) But SNOW? ...... UGH!!! Have a warm cozy night, Sweety! And a great weekend!
UGH! Well i just put on a sweatshirt...OVER my turtleneck! It's COLD for April! My baby plants are gonna get shocked. Well i should warm up some as i head out to do more work. Speaking of...Paula, i saw your reply on Stef's page about the "competition. Good ideas. I had already composed a flyer and list of services. I will add some of the one's you suggested. Now i just need to figure out pricing.
I'll email you a copy of what i have now and you can look it over and tell me what you think or make suggestions. I really want to pin down pricing. I figure i can charge by the hour for any actual work i do (say $10 - 12per hour?) but i plan to charge for my consultations, but will apply it to the final cost of the project... something like that anyway.
Will send that to you later. Going out to spread some grass seed before the rain starts.
Hourly rates scare people.. come up with an all inclusive rate. There is of course the initial set up/ first time fee that you add extra to for purchasing the plants etc... then you set a weekly or monthly pre fixed price after that cause you wouldn't be there very long 15 min maybe. Like lawn services do, or housekeeping etc.. and then when it comes to re potting... you just charge them a seasonal change fee for the costs of plants.
Call the other company as a prospective "client" and see how their terms work.
I am excited for you....sorry its cold and chilly there.

I don`t take my thermals off unless it`s at least 30 degrees C {86 F for those who live in the Dark Ages ;} }
