In my experience the last one that I could grow without difficulty is the "meyer"..lol Some have no problem at all...Wierd, right? But as Mksmth said which is great, definately learn about the "MIXES" first, and then all the other things about cultural needs. The biggest culprit for death of citrus is root rot. Make sure you have your good fertilizer, mix, good containers with drainage holes, good light, and this site at your hands. For me, the easiest to grow when I began was the "calmondin", the "oro blanco", and 'Ponderosa lemon".. The "calamondin" would grow wonderful for me even with a little sun all winter then great in full time summer sun. The "oro blnco" was one that held on to it's leaves and always stayed green, no matter what conditions it has been reasonably subjected to, and the "ponderos", well, a slow grower, but constantly blooming, but boy they hardy as weeds...lol. And Mksmth is right on this too. Once you start, there is no stopping buying trees, especially from where you plan on getting them..lol Good luck and great to have you!

The Pretty Lady & Two monks Once upon a time a old monk and a young monk were traveling together. They came to the bank of a river and found the bridge was damaged. They had to wade across the river.There they found a pretty lady stuck at the damaged bridge who couldn't cross the river on her own. The young monk offered to carry the pretty lady across the river on his back. The lady accepted. The old monk was shocked by the move of the young monk. "How can my disciple brother carry a lady when we are supposed to avoid all intimacy with females?" thought the old monk. But he kept quiet. The young monk carried the lady across the river and the old monk followed unhappily. When they had crossed the river, the young monk let the lady down and they parted ways with her. All along the way for several miles, the old monk was very unhappy with the act of the young monk. He was making up all kinds of accusations about the young monk in his head. This got him madder and madder. But he still kept quiet. And the young monk had no inclination to explain his situation. Finally, at a rest point many hours later, the old monk could not stand it any further, he burst out angrily at the younger monk. "How can you claim yourself a devout monk, when you seize the first opportunity to touch a female, especially when she is very pretty? All your teachings to me make you a big hypocrite." The young monk looked surprised and said, "I had put down the pretty lady at the river bank many hours ago, how come you are still carrying her along?" This very old Chinese zen story reflects the thinking of many people today. We encounter many unpleasant things in our life, they irritate and make us angry. Sometimes, they even cause us lot of hurt or make us bitter. But like the old monk, we are not willing to let them go. We keep on carrying the baggage of the "unpleasant memory" with us. We let it keep on coming back to hurt us, make us angry, make us bitter and cause us a lot of agony. Why?

Patty, funcolors, and kmcg85 all said what I want to say...Forget the splotch-shaped splotches thrown in the middle of the wall, and paint out that whole wall. You've already 'ruined' the wall, so go for it. You don't have to cut in or anything, just use your roller and roll out almost to ceiling and over to adjoining walls. Then, re-hang your picture and look at the effect. If you have new bedding, throw that on the bed too, so you can better visualize what your room would look like in the Richmond Gold. I personally would not go any darker that RG. I think it's plenty dark enough for a bedroom and should give a rich, warm look........but is that look for you? I put a gorgeous periwinkle blue on my bedroom walls several years ago and received so many complements. But the soft blue was always too cool-feeling for me. I was glad to see it gone, and I have Laura Ashley Gold #3 on my walls now. It's warm but not too dark. Works with so many colors I like to use. Several have made the comment about the paint color tying in the furniture better. Well, it will certainly do that. On the other hand, if you want the furniture to stand out more, then you need a little more contrast and maybe not as dark a color. So, you bought gallons. Well, only you know whether you can afford to take the hit for more paint if you ultimately decide against the RG. For next time, may I kindly suggest, buying ONE quart of your chosen color in the sheen you want to use. Use that One quart to do what all have suggested. Pour into a paint tray, throw down a drop cloth, and roll it all out onto at least one wall, put your furniture up against it. Then, if you love it you have a start. If you don't feel love, you are out maybe $10-$20, about the cost of an evening at the movie by yourself. Red

Momof3 lol that is your shortest post EVER!! LoL My husband had some jealousy issues in the beginning and it wasn't until he was a father that his relationship with my daughter grew. He learned how to be a DAD. I'm not suggesting go have a baby lol His jealous stemmed from something else though. Only child syndrome. He has never had to share the woman in his life (meaning his mom). And she is a great mom! Best in law I could have ever asked for. She raised a very compassionate, caring, considerate, generous man. But sometimes he would show jealousy and it would just terrify me that we weren't going to work out. He would not share anything. Food, candy, soda/drinks, especially pop corn!! Omg! Lol to this day he doesn't share pop corn. When his mom would send my daughter a package I could see a bit of 'what? My MOM sent HER something and there is nothing for ME?' Now it's a bit of a joke but seriously. He did not learn to share his main woman and he had a hard time sharing her with my daughter. Then I noticed he would get 'annoyed' if we were spending time on the couch or whatever and Dd would crawl up in between us. She was only 5:6. She would snuggle with him too but he would say things like 'it never fails as soon as we get some quiet time, here she comes'. I would get so pissed. Now I am the one saying it lol not really just kidding but it just took Jim some time and what helped is havin a child of his own and that selfishness kind of went away. Also, when he sees how hurt my Dd gets over her dad, it just starting breaking his heart. He has even cried for her before. He just can't understand it. His parents are still married. And he has always had them both. I'm thinking that your husband will greatly benefit from the counseling. My stepdad was a bit like this when we were younger and he went to therapy when I was a teen. It changed him so much and now we are very very close. Closer than I am to my mom at times. I talk to my stepdad pretty much daily but I remember when I was a teen, no way would I even sit with him -- couldn't pay me, he was a jerk!
