Do you remember your first time?

15 years ago

I enjoy it every single time with each Brug that blooms for me for the first time. It is amazing all the big and small differences each and every single one has.

Here is the Candida double White. Just think. Until Suzie helped me notice that it is a Candida I got from Eddie and the Order confirmed it. I just did not see it in my newbie stage..you could say I was inexperienced roflmao.

I thought I had a 2 skirted white NOID. I LIKE those darn it lol

They Say You Always Remember Your First

My first, and still a favorite, is my Pachypodium lamerie or Madagascar Palm. I bought it in 1994 when I thought it was a cactus; and it was a plant which George would have called an "ugly". George and I had been gay-partners for 14 years when he died of leukemia. He had fought for years against several serious medical problems. We had spent countless hours in trips to hospitals, emergency rooms and doctor's offices. But ultimately his body was no longer able to keep up the struggle. For the first year or so after his death I did not want to change anything in our house from the way we had it. But one day I had to go to HD for something and as I passed the garden department I could not help but laugh when I saw this little "cactus" and I could almost hear George say "Isn't that an ugly!" I knew that he would not have wanted it in the house (never much liked potted plants of any kind, and certainly not an 'ugly'). So I bought it anyway. That day marked a significant turn for me, for which I am very grateful. The Pachy is now almost four feet tall and I am hoping it will bloom. Maybe next year. It now stands supreme among very many other succulents and cacti, et cetera. Mike, my new love, well "new" for the last nine years, is much more sympathetic toward "uglies" and we are all quite happy together. Jerry

You always remember your first etch
Q
Comments (13)
I have a sample of unsealed 12 x 12 polished (the store didn't have honed) Carrara tile that I intentionally abuse. I haven't done the scientific tests that others have tried in different threads, but here is what I can relay: the purpoted Meg Ryan treatment does very little to age marble quickly. Plain white vinegar is best for quick etching/honing. The only problem is I soaked a Bounty paper towel with vinegar and left on the marble for a few hours, so now I have a tiny Bounty pattern etched on it. I have "spilled" red wine, tomatoes, olive oil, lemon juice and anything else that happened to be at hand - nothing stained the marble. Some liquids will create a darker pattern that we tend to think of as etching, but after wiping the spill, it eventually dries and becomes unnoticeable. I think this is what Carriea has experienced. I wouldn't advise anyone to try to hone your polished marble with vinegar or any other acid. I think you would be better of starting with a honed slab and letting it age by living with it and using it.

Do You Remember Your First Day of School?
Q
Comments (28)
I'm not sure it was my first day of school but it was definitely one of the first days of kindergarten. My cousin has just moved to my town and we were fast friends. We ruled the kindergarten classroom because we were the only ones that knew someone. Our mom's had to have the teachers put us in different classrooms after kindergarten because we wouldn't let anyone else play with us and we were very bossy. I'm not sure my mom did the right thing on that one. Both of us were very shy after that and didn't make friends easily until much later in school. My DH remembers his first days vividly. His mom walked him and his twin brother to school and they both followed her back home. They didn't want to stay there. This went on for several days and she'd walk them both back to school only to get home and find them back at home. Finally one day when they showed up yet again at home, she put them outside (it was a cold day) and wouldn't let them back in. They finally got cold and walked to school and stayed the rest of the time. I think that is the funniest thing ever. I can just imagine getting home after taking the little rascals to school only to find that they'd beat her home. Today they'd probably call social services or something.

I often think about squirrel and her photoshop generosity. I think she decided to turn her skill into a business. I hope it worked out. There was a poster that lived in AZ and had health issues. (Eileen?) Her posts were very polarizing but I occasionally wonder if she is well. It's interesting that some people seem to get obsessed with this site, post like crazy, bare their soul and then vanish.

It is a beauty. I was rushing at work to be smart mouth and didn't even get to comment on how pretty it was. It looks like more than a double to me, lol. I watch too many movies, lol. My first time wasn't really very memorable and kind of boring so I made up a funner version, lol. You are doing an incredible job with the brugs and I am jealous, lol. I wish I didn't have to work as much like last year. I liked having a day or two off during the work just to work on my plants. I am never going to get everything tended to for the winter. Gonna have to make John stay home and help me this weekend I guess. Everything is on its own for this little cold spell coming up I guess.

Lucy,

Made me look and yes it did make me smile. I agree with the others here, it's hard to believe that you just got into brugs this past spring. Look at all your beautiful blooms. I have to admit my first season didn't turn out as well as yours did. I do have to say each time my one brug bloomed (twice) it was exciting. I hope I learn more to have a better brug season next year. Your double white is amazing! I have a Candida double white but its still a baby...maybe next year it will bloom and seeing your bloom I'm already getting excited about my first time with it. lol

Kristy, 57 chevy lol

jumpin4joy roflmao...now THAT is funny

Mike you're my kind of man....still with the same one *g* But I don't blame you. As she is a beauty and hard to resist.

I still got lots to learn. To my advantage goes that I do not have to work at a paying job lol. Which made it vey easy to get to know the angels and their habits etc.

But most of all is being here that made me understand a lot about the needs and warning signs if things can and will go wrong with them. So you all are part of my first season's success.

Joyce I am sure next year you will see blooms!

I have seen the most amazing single blooms..flushes in this forum by so many people that are fairly new. It's not just me ;-)

Thanks for all the wonderful compliments you made me

Lucy
