Rian,

When did that Aloe's name change?

These are nice plants! I might have the mate(s) of your gasteria.

Oh yes, Swmogardens - I can see how you would feel that place was "enchanted." I'm a sucker for Enchanted-feeling places. I sure enjoyed that photo. Thank you. Sunny

My kid is a brat: College-aged kids and manners?

So happy for you judithn...took me back to when my kids were in college in our city, but living on campus. Sounds like a great conversation, and something she needed to hear, and you were able to do it in such a way that she really listened, and matured enough to apologize. You obviously have a great daughter, there, and now you have practice for when your son leaves home...heh heh!! We Moms have to support one another...our kids are in their early 40's, so a lot of this type of thing is behind us, but there are always things to work out. We do have very thoughtful children now...they just weren't so much at your daughter's age!!

Kids throwing toys through the vent covers.

Our friends bought screen as mentioned in the post above, with larger "grid" pattern on it and it works great. The still have stuff go down through the main register cover, but it's a lot easier to get out now. They plan to keep it that way even as they kids grow, because the duct cover grid is about 1" square (and the cover is about 15" square) and random stuff sometimes falls in for the adults too. We have a similar issue with a baseboard duct that is uncovered (long story) and we bought one of those little grabbers on a long flexible arm, and a mirror on an extendable handle. We were able to fish out what went down, but it was a little tricky to do. I started telling my kids that bunnies lived down there and they wanted to play with the toys too, so they might not give back what went down there. That has worked very well for us, and does not make the kids scared to be in their own home.

Beth, don't worry about being in an apt. I'm a designer & I've owned only 1 house in my life!!! I too have moved so often (30 times) for work (mostly) that I've never had the need. Now that I'm 57 & semi-retired, that's going to change soon, but to be in an apt has MANY advantages. It also has it's cons, but I've never had a real complaint. I've broken a few rules over the years & lost deposits as a result, but it was a small price to pay for painting & upgrading some minor things, which I never asked reimbursement for. In one apt I painted & was supposed to paint back to white when I moved & also painted the cabinets gloss black (they were like yours) & when they inspected it, they told me not to bother to paint it to white cause they felt it looked better like it was...& didn't lose my deposit!!! I don't recommend that, but really, there's only so much they can do to you if you do. However, one thing I strongly recommend that you do is take very detailed pics of every room before you move in with some kind of date authorization. It is true that you will become immune to the negatives once you have all YOUR stuff in place instead of seeing a cold stark empty apt. It's amazing how much it will transform. If your new home is safe & filled with love, what else could you ask for!!! Best of luck & keep us updated!!! ~Jeana

Around 2002. Some say its just a variant of dichotoma. I prefer at least the distinction made by subsp. ramosissima, because they do look different in terms of the trunk being branched. A lot of the spotted aloes are also now thrown together.
