Many of us have mentally threatened to do this when it is so hot.

OMG, if he was where no one could see him, I don't have a problem with it but weed whacking in the nude, the last thing I would want to do without clothes, lol
I try to add clothes when I do that, lol

I wish none of us had to wear clothes and we didn't know the difference, why did Eve have to eat that apple, lol

Looks like Pereskia grandifolia to me. Beautiful!! (some have it as grandiflora, but I think that is incorrect-you will find pix w/that name, though)

So what do you guys know about citronella?
Q
Comments (2)
Dear Jo, I would love to see the plant too, and to hear your description of its fragrance. As Rhizo said, both palma rosa and citronella are grasses, very similar to lemon grass in appearance and culture. They are each such lovely smells, but since the plants are not free with their fragrance (you have to pinch the shoots) are so large, are not hardy here, and are sharp leaved (like corn) I not focus on them. I would love a little loveable cintronella plant that was like lemon balm though! I love the rose like fragrance of citronella. If you have located a variety of lemon balm with a citronella odor, please tell us about it! Or could it possibly be a mint? Best wishes, Sincerely, Matt

Did my tile guy do a really crappy job or are we just being picky?
Q
Comments (19)
We have that same tile on our shower floor in one of the bathrooms that hubby and I remodeled. Ours was a diy job and we are very experienced DIYers. When it came to laying that floor we struggled and struggled when we were doing our mock layout, we could NOT get it to where we couldn’t see seams. I threw my hands up in the air and proceeded to pull off every darn rock off each sheet and we hand set every darn rock. It turned out fantastic (except for a couple of spots where we wiped away too much of the grout during that part of the job, so water likes to pool in those low spots now... sigh... it was the first time we’d ever done that kind of floor though, live and learn, and maybe one day we will chip out the grout there and redo it, for now I just use a little extra bleach when I clean there.) But yeah, I’ve seen more jobs done incorrectly with those sheets of random rocks than done correctly. I hear there’s a way to just pull of some of the rocks but not all of them so that you kind of fill in those lines, but I discovered that after the fact.

not sure - i know they also used a roller but saw one guy brushing along the edges and i guess in some of the closets while the other guy used the roller for the main/middle part of the floors

I try to always wear clothes when doing things outdoors and other places. It saves frightening the little children, and having their mamas and papas come to whup up on me. LOL

And can you imagine what it might feel like to have a little pebble or other missile chunked at you by the weedwacker? ouch!

Carrie, if we had always been nekkid, no one would know we were flawed, lol. The fashion business wouldn't exist, lol
BTW, look how many more plants we could buy if we didn't have to wear clothes, lol
BTW, I don't even wear sleeveless shirts often, lol

Janie, that is so right. All gardeners know how it hurts to even have grass slung at you and then think of a pebble????
Ouch is right, hehehehe

I will admit I've thought about it. But even if I had a completely private yard, I'd be afraid it would stunt my plants' growth.

Heck, I can't even stand to wear shorts, to work in the yard. Gotta at least have long pants, and a T shirt.

Of course, I avoid the yard from July-September, as much as possible.

If I could I would be out there naked. but the mosquitoes!! and scaring the neighbors....and getting things that hang stuck in things....and scaring the neighbors.....

I've seen a lot of naked people in my life and can honestly say, most people should keep their clothes ON.
But I hate clothes, and shoes. I try to keep to the 1-2 articles of clothing rule in the summer and as little as I can to keep warm in the winter. My mom used to get me dressed, turn around and I'd be naked. And she couldn't find the clothes. I had a neighbor in Hawaii who never wore any clothes, she would just smile and pretend to be senile, she was in her late 70's I think really wrinkled and pretty fat too. She's my hero. Hat, leopard print boots and garden gloves! What a sight! What a fright!

Well, since my knees went south, I have to do my weeding scooting along on my butt. The thought of dirt, mulch, weeds and grass in places I can't reach makes me shudder.
