ParticipantI agree Oxford- i can’t stand the sight of ice plant even though it is effective in runoff and erosion. My only advice is to go to a place like Anderson’s Nursery in Point Loma by SPAWAR; in no way am I affiliated with the company!
They always give great advice, have been around for over 20 years and have a huge selection of grass and ground covering plants. Then once you get the advice- shop around for the best price.
Before you spend money on a landscaper, or drive yourself bonkers with aesthetic misery I would go there or a place similar.
If you really want to get it out- you probably want to do it quickly as we are about to start getting our rainy time- I know that sounds cheesy but its true. I don’t know whats at the bottom of that slope, but it won’t be pretty.
My next door neighbor also had ice plant on their slope, hated it, pulled it all out but didn’t replace it with anything and its true it just created a nasty mess even when she was just trying water her flowers. Needless to say- the ice plant is back.
Here are some of my favorite ground covering plants:
Creeping Thyme (There are many different types of thyme):

Sagina subulata(Irish Moss):

ParticipantI agree Allan- I have no idea how these wars will end and what the ramifications will be in ending them. I think Iraq has a better chance of sustainability than Afghanistan only based on their commerce; oil vs. opium.
I don’t know how Iraq’s ethnic groups will get along though. Will Shia’s accept a Sunni president and vice versu without an American presence? Is it almost better to divide the country into two states? I don’t know. Then you would have a diaspora of each ethnic group. It’s tough. Don’t forget about Hezbollah(Lebanon) and Syria and how they could help the Shia populace and a possible Shia/Iranian superpower:
I don’t know if we should commit more troops in Afghanistan. I really don’t.
I agree our country cannot afford two nation building wars. I have to talk about Bush, Delay and the Repubs who were in power at the time of the wars:
http://books.google.com/books?id=s4OeoaUDBAMC&pg=PP1&dq=war+and+taxes#v=onepage&q=&f=false
These men who wanted to look tough on war and keep their base happy with tax cuts drained our accounts and left us where we are today.
They fed from the trough when they were in office and left others to pick up the pieces.
Okay-I’ll stop with the Repub bashing.
Allan- I have no idea how we are going to get out this mess unscathed (sigh).

ParticipantHah! That’s awesome. I think anyone who goes to these sites and post and refutes anonymous opinions should hardly have their feelings hurt. You make a lot of accusations and yet you back it up with nothing; cut and run?
I too wish you a long happy life and you are not going anywhere and i’m not leaving…oh we will run in to each other again.
I’m a xenophobe though? That’s awesome! I’ll mull that one over as I’m eating my kimchee while using my shamash to light my menorah with my extended fam and supporting my black president whose father came from Africa.
