  1. I wasn't too sure as to where to post this, but I have come up with an idea that I have not yet come across in the Cacti / succulence community before; Valuing cacti or succulence by their weight. I have bought and sold a lot of cacti through this forum and through other mediums before and weather buying or selling have I have always come across the value of the cacti being determined by length. This has in many instances backfired on me and on other people I know, For example; when purchasing some named Bridgesii clones at 15 - 25 cm at $1 a cm, I thought I was getting a pretty stock standard price only to receive the cacti and discover that their diameter was no larger than my thumb, I felt truly ripped off. If the cacti were being sold by weight this problem would have been avoided. So Before making a radical proposal to ask everyone to begin using units of weight when selling cacti Id like to know all your opinions on the idea. Here are a few points to consider: How this would affect the legality of trading and selling cacti due to weight commonly being used to sell illicit substances. The honesty of the seller, where the cacti could be watered heavily before sale to increase its value with water weight. Whether weight could just be used in a new format detailing the cacti for sale on this forum whilst also including diameter, length, any previous diseases the cutting has had, etc.. The simplicity in determining shipping costs ...And while on the topic, I would also like to see a more organised format of trade and sell threads on this forum including Pictures and most importantly the disease history of the cacti. I have had cacti sent over from other states only to discover later they they had scale on them. We have to take responsibility for pests and disease crossing borders as well. A more professional approach to The sale and trade of cacti could really assist us with our passion and the way that these plants are viewed by government bodies and the general public. Ok, so without further adoooooooand without getting too antsy on this idea, please discuss away.

    Khat seedlings (Perth)

    Salvia Divinorum is Controlled in Australia, so you wont find any through this forum. Id also suggest that you edit your post for obvious reasons. Also Salvia Divinorum seeds have one of the lowest germination rates in the plant kingdom; hence the square, rigid and hollow design of the stem of the plant. This is intended to grow to a certain height where it can no longer support its own weight and therefore snaps whilst still connected by the outside tissue of the stem. The snapped section will then sit on the ground where it will root itself thereby creating a clone. I've actually heard that Salvia wouldn't exist today if it wasn't for human interferance through propagation by the Mazateks and surrounding tribes. The ipomea violacea actually grows rampant though western and northern suburbia within Perth although due to the climate it rarely goes to seed. PEACE!

If anybody has any words of advice on the matter of rego in nsw or qld please let me know. I cant work without my car and im running out of money fast. any mechnics in the area would be a godsend aswell. So if your a mechanic and live in nnsw ill pay well for some help with the car.

    Telstra scamming their clients.

    Howdy. If anybody works for the telecommunications industry, the ombudsman or assisting with legal issues of this sort please let me know. So this is the third time Telstra have ripped me off! I have been on a two year contract with them and its allmost over. Throughout that time telstra charged me for two unusually huge bills, each over $1000 bucks. I used the omburdsman to help me get off one and the other bill i discussed with telstra management over the phone. They aknowledged the fact that they were in the wrong for both of them and they credited my account so i didnt have to pay for them. So today i went to the ATM to get some money out and i couldnt, my account was $600 overdrawn! i checked my internet banking and sure enough it was TELSTRA! I called them up when i got home and we came to the conclusion there was a fault with my phone, thing is....they have dissabled any crediting of my account because of the previous two bills. To top it all off they also told me that my current bill is over $1100 and i have 7 more days on my cycle. I cant afford to pay these bills, but unless the omburdsman pulls through again, or i take some sort of legal action i might have too. If anybody has any advice on this matter or has a friend who works for telstra, i would love to know! Much love people and thanks

    Telstra scamming their clients.

    Thanks Guys. Iv taken up the issue with the Telecommunications Ombudsman and they have sent out a complaint email on my behalf. It could have been an application that used GPS and location services that i was unaware of. Either way I refuse to pay such an excess on data.

    Telstra scamming their clients.

    Thanks guys They reveal the numbers called but not the websites the data used. I think i do have something wrong with my phone, but dont worry peeps. I just received a message from a Telstra employee who gave me some great advice.

    Telstra scamming their clients.
