Holy Smokes, Brenda!

14 years ago

Started a new Thread because:

Holy Smokes! Brenda! Wow!

Dang! Are you serious? That package you sent was something else! I've graduated now to being the owner of a Brug Farm! (Okay, mostly a Brug stick farm, but some came in pots already w/ leaves!)

Dare I list them all? Or would that make everyone jealous? And some cool seeds, too, including a couple of nice Daturas!

Thank you so very much for your generosity!

LOL, both y'all!!!

Ann, glad you got a good start on that brug farm! And those sticks won't be for long, they have roots and leaves just waiting to bust out when you get them potted up!

You're welcome, very much!! ;-)

I'm glad to hear that. I kept asking about other roses vs. Helene and every time Cliff said that Helene was better. I was very happy he had one left for me. I'll have to order from him again next spring to get Gardens of the World and a few others on my wish list. Everyone who ordered should be sure to post some pics of theirs this summer so I have a nice long list next time.

Holy Smokes - Did this happen to you?

When mine started to shut down, it went from monthly to every other, to four months, etc.,then a couple or three years of one a year. None for the past five years, but on occasion I still get the "feeling" that it would be the time. I did not figure I was done until about two years ago. But would be hard put to tell the date of the truly last one. But starting at age 9 and continuing as long as I did and as hard as it went, it is a relief.

"...staying on the 3rd floor of a hotel...tornado warnings...sirens started going off... My sister told her it means take cover so she got in truck and drove to where her husband is at." She is lucky. Getting in a vehicle is one of the worst things you can do. She probably should have asked the hotel desk clerk where to take cover. Without a shelter, the rule of thumb is "Lower level. Interior room without windows."

Anyone stopped smoking after years of smoking?
Q

I have been a lurker here forever...never posted. I know how hard it is to quit smoking. I smoke for over 20 years about 2 1/2packs a day. I quit 5 years ago. I had tried to quit several times but always went back. I quit by picking a date.I told myself that it was going to be hard but every day would be easier. I also read that when you quit smoking your body is over the withdraw from nicotine 48-72 hours after you last smoke. I told myself the first 3 days would be the hardest and after the 3 days it is all a mind game. I really believe that is what help me stop smoking is knowing that my body did not need the nicotine, that it was my mind. i did take a mini vaction from work, some people say they get very tired from not smoking.... The first 6 months are hard....you will give yourself every excuse to smoke again...it has been 5 years and once in great while i will still get the urge to smoke...I know I cannot smoke or even try to smoke...because I will be right back where I was. I wish you the best of luck

Thanks for the congrats. Yes, I am very happy.

Mike! Welcome to the forum! (Something vaguely familiar about the name, though.) :)

Potted everything immediately. Plan was to get them going outside in the shade for a few weeks, but last night the temp was something ridiculous, like 41F. Oy.
Into the house they came. More plants coming inside today!

Gee Ann I hope you have lots of room inside, Michigan's going to get pretty cold pretty soon. We're having a front move through this week that has me wondering if I should give up and take them in or hold my breath and wait. Your family will be saying what mine does in March,"Okay, when can these plants go outside?" as they duck and weave around them.
Welcome to the wonderful world of brug fanciers!
