Christmas tree won't drink water

[Noozer]

Copper is poison to plants...

Want to kill a tree? Drive a few pennies into it with a hammer.

1/2 sprite solution with 1/2 water to keep it alive longer, if it indeed starts to take up water. Copper pennies???

[gary]

Use and IV?

Xylem and Phloem Cells, boy that takes me back..

Just cut the bottom at a slight angle.

You must have missed something. We're talking about an already cut tree. Amd why use pennies when you have a chain saw?

I don't like needles, can't you just feed them salty peanuts and popcorn? It works at bars to get the people drinking more.

later and Merry Christmas All!

I've heard this too, it gives more surface area for contact with the water. Makes sense, right?

Why not pray to Jeeesis to save the tree?? After all, it's a living thing which was cut down for the purpose of dying in your living room to celebrate his birth......

Actually, it's more likely a monument to your sexual capacity. Dead from the root, with the balls only a decoration.

I'm sorry, but your posts no longer have any validity until you fully fill out and post the essay quiz which was presented to you.....

Total and complete lack of originality in posting (as well as use of Outlook Express) noted.

Thanks for playing!!!

And also, the essay quiz was posted to the burden of Christians, who need to prove their faith to the rest of us. We who don't follow it's principles have no need or obligation to prove the tenets of Christianity (duh!). Unfortunately, this is too big of a concept for you right now. Please work a little harder on your GED and come back when you're ready.

Guess I can see why you're concerned about the GED. A reminder before your next class- the word "it's" is the contraction for "it is".

[equalize]

I put that in specifically because I wanted you to pick up and run with it. People always resort to spelling/grammar lames when they've hideously lost an argument and have nothing left.

Thanks for proving my point!!!!!

Spank claimed again.......

Maybe today, but the tree was orginally brought into the house this time of year to welcome woodland spirts of life into your home during the death of winter.

The christmas tree was added to the 25th of December over time and tradition, nothing to do with the birth of Christ.

Just saying.....

Roots, balls, and licking, is this the right newsgroup?

:-P

oxymoron, faith is generally a belief not based on proof, so nothing to prove.

Merry Christmas Everyone!

I looked online and it said that when a tree is cut at it's base the sap at the base dries and hardens, preventing water and sap loss from the tree. It also said that the sap can take up to 6 hours to harden at the cut.

My tree was cut and i brought it home and put it in the garage on its side over night before setting it up the next morning. I think mine is beyond saving. This was the first time it's happened to me in maybe 10 Christmas tree preps. Guess I should have been quicker on the drawer.
