OT: Things for SS box orders LONG ago

Ok I finally traced back to when I ordered something for my SS buddy. Now I am really upset. But it shows you how time flies. It was already the 17 October and has not come yet. Best part is I do not remember where I ordered it from. I only found the paypal comfirmation mail. grrrrr...Ok I remember my own words now...NO STRESS::.sending LOVE to that company hahahahahaha

Man I sure hope that what I ordered does not turn out to be something like the trees I ordered from Arbor foundation shortly after spring shipping was over for my zone and they said they would send it for fall planting. Guess what I have not planted yet because it has not arrived. WHEN is FALL again hahahahaha

I hate chasing after stuff like that and tend to put it out of my mind. But for my SS buddy I got to go and find out what's up. At least then I can put a *gift certificate* in for when ever it comes it will go to that *person* hi hi not giving away the gender roflmao

Sorry but I did need to post this so whenever my SS buddy gets her box , it will be clear why that was one reason I was so late sending it out.

Barbara I grow most of mine in full sun. My scarlet one gets afternoon shade but to be on the safe side I'd plant them so they get protection during the hottest part of the day. The sun is more intense in your zone then here. I don't feed or water them like I do brugs. They get fed about once a month and allowed to dry some between waterings. That's once they are established. You'll have to abay them a bit at first. I don't have great results propagating iochromas from cuttings. It seems that I have better luck water rooting with no bottom heat and semi woody stems work the best for me. One problem I've had is losing the plant several months after it's rooted and appears to be doing well. A few other people I know have had the same problem. Enjoy the iochromas. I think they are beautiful. Karyn

Vee, I am very glad your daughter is safe. Let's hope it becomes no more than a story she gets to tell when dining out. As for the violence in the world these days, I believe that religion, ethnicity, race, and orientation are excuses rather than genuine motives, though the actors may themselves not actually know this. The world is crowded, and getting more crowded every day. Resources are scarce for many people. The future looks very uncertain. In my opinion, all this stress is the real cause of violent behavior. When I was in college I took an introductory psychology class. We studied a classic experiment. Rats confined in groups have a very low level of violence initially, but as crowding is introduced it gets worse, the more the crowding the more intense the violence. Restricting resources makes it worse, but even with plentiful resources, crowding alone produces this effect. Our professor speculacted that population growth could have the same effect on humans. I do think we are more than just smart rats, but perhaps this is how our primitive brain works. Folks, we really do need to do that empathy-inducing reading!

There is more money flowing around than is good for people in our area, and that money is not evenly distributed, as you would imagine. Young women of means frequently go on bachelorette weekends to Las Vegas or even Miami. Even if the host families can afford it, it is a financial burden for some of their guests who feel left out if they don't along with their friends. I have no problem with bridal showers, in fact I think they are a lovely custom, but this particular extravagance bothers me. I think it is part of the Bridezilla trend. A considerate bride would consider what her friends can comfortably manage, and do something that is a pleasure for all.

I guess it might depend on what I call an egg holder. If the eggs don't roll off the shelf and splat on the floor when I open the door, I call it an "egg holder" ! Mine happens to be a rectangular clear plastic box-thing on the second shelf. Of course the best thing to do is leave the eggs in a paper carton if that is what they come in.....because the egg will absorb odors from the refrigerator when stored openly. Perhaps that's why they did away with the egg holders ! Funny....I always used to take the carton out, crack the egg into the bowl/pan/whatever, and then put the shell back into the carton . When we'd visit my MIL in Florida she'd go nuts when I did that !! Yet, she was the one who was known to put a bucket of fried chicken in the cupboard " since it was cooked anyway" !!

Kylie...LOL!! I caught the 'her ' part too, plus she said it's not brugs. But I'm thinking it is plants. Wonder what they could be? Iris? Daylilies? Passies? Plumeria? Daffs?
Tulips?
