I see you there on the right! Are those bloom clusters really as big as your head?! I think it's cute that your husband enjoys the "peeking" pictures.

I didn't think rhodies could get that big!

Thanks for posting, tell your guy to keep up the good work.

My DH HATES the ceiling fixture I picked :(
Q
Comments (75)
I can't photoshop it for you, but what I did in a similar situation was print out and then make a reduce/enlarge copy of the photo of the light fixture I was considering and lay it on top of the elevation drawing of our kitchen since that was what I had at the time. The two small fixtures you linked look like hallway fixtures to me, and I would be afraid they would look out of scale with your table and dining area. I really like the last fixture you posted too, but it would look strange to me to be too high over the table. If it were me, I would wait until you get into the house, get furniture in place and then see how much the TV is blocked. The bigger issue for me is the sight line back towards the kitchen. I would still want to look at whether you could turn it 90 degrees so that you only have the 12 inches and not the 40 blocking that view both ways. It might also be far enough to the right of the TV not to block it. Maybe DH can love it that way? Just take your time -- you have lighting and it's past the point of having the walls open and not having to fix sheetrock or paint if you move something. I'm sure there are other things (like a move) that are more pressing. You'll get it worked out and it won't be the first time someone has moved in a house with something that didn't work perfectly. ;-)

Why has my cat, who has health issues, started pooping on the flo
Q
Comments (6)
I went back to mixing Fresh Step, the old litter, with Tidy cat. ItÂs only been 3 days. I will have to check with my husband to see if he has picked up any "deposits" lately. I have not found any. She does not seem to be constipated. I bought some new hairball medicine, which is an oil I have been mixing with her wet food. Unlike all the others I have tried so far, she likes this one. I have been wondering if the oil will make her stool softer too. I started using that maybe 2 weeks ago. The hairballs have now stopped. The floor pooping predates the hairballs (which show up every year in the spring); but IÂm wondering if having hairballs could have caused the uptick in incidence I noticed. The newspaper mostly makes it easier to clean the box. When I dump it, it all slides easily into the garbage. But I have noticed (maybe this is me speculating) that she does not like the feeling of the plastic under the litter on her toes. When I have run out of paper she has objected (donÂt ask me how I know, she just comes to me with this lookÂ). I usually put a heavy sprinkle of baking soda under the paper. I find the paper, which goes up the sides too, wicks the moisture away from just the one spot and makes it dry faster. She does not cover what she does in the box and never has. Just does it and leaves. If IÂm nearby and smell it, I do it!

Questions for New Spa & Pool
Q
Comments (19)
Well, now we are just waiting for the Archetictural Review Board to review our plans. The ARB is kind-of a joke because we only have 3 houses in our neighborhood. Anyway, we went with a 7.5' spa. I though 7' was too small and 8' was too big. I "borrowed" some of all of your suggestions and ideas and went with all stone surround added a step, all Pentair and 400,000 btu. Still trying to decide on 7', but the ARB does not care about that. Thank you for all of your help! I'll post more pictures once we get started.

Buying a new mattress....is harder then buying a new car
Q
Comments (53)
I did purchase my new King mattress from the same local manufacturer that made my custom rv mattress. I love this company, I was able to tell him exactly how I wanted it to feel on top and how much support and firmness for the core. I did get the individual covered separate coils for less movement and the bamboo top fabric because I sleep hot and the bamboo fabric is great for me. It has the euro top instead of the pillow top the old one had. It is just beautiful too. I really debated if I should get a latex layer in the top, ended up not getting it, but if I was doing it again it would be worth the extra money. I love my latex pillows so much I think I would like the latex layer. I absolutely did not want any type of memory foam I can't stand it. I do have the option to let him take it back and add the latex layer still. Another great thing about this place! I have recommended them to several of our friends, especially those with an rv. And the prices are fantastic. So far I have not had any back pain like I was having from the old one. Super comfortable and extremely supportive. I especially wanted the heavy solid foam sides which will support you sitting on the edge or pushing on it getting up and out. I am a side sleeper and I tend to sleep on the edge of the bed, it supports me completely. I could jump on my side and never move my husband's side. The only thing that I wish was different is how much higher this one is. Thank goodness my sheets still fit. I have no idea if they ship out or not but I know they deliver all around the Houston area.

What secret sauce are you using on these plants? Or is it just that you live in a climate that grows everything like magic?

Beautiful plants and people, Florence! You might like to know, my Zephirine Drouhin is beautiful this spring! And my Paul's Himalayan Musks are growing: my dream is that one day they'll look like yours. You have a lovely garden.

Hi Florence!

I had to zoom in on my computer to see you in the first picture, and then spent a few moments wondering if you'd been "Photoshopped" in! Amazing! I like the new picture even better than the old one; but of course, either way you're another beautiful blossom among the flowers.
