Comments (3)If you are in the Puget Sound region, you are invited to a Winter Seed-Sowing Saturday, January 17, 1:00-3:00 PM. Church of the Holy Cross 11526 162nd Ave NE Redmond, WA 98052 Driving Directions I have a big bag of seeds gathered this fall. Many of you have seeds too. January is a good time to winter sow perennials for spring germination. If you have never tried winter sowing, you will be amazed at the good results. It has to be the easiest way to fill your garden with new plants. You can bring spent poinsettias for sowing. Just cut off the top and sow your seeds on the poinsettia soil. I have plenty of 4-inch pots, and a large container of sifted compost. Bring whatever other pots and seeds you'd like to try. This is an indoor event. We'll meet in the parish hall of the church. So no freezing in the rain! Questions. Comments. Jim Eichner GreenElephant 425-223-7249 Cell...See MoreDo you drink alcohol?
Comments (52)I love a glass of wine when I go out for a meal or have dinner with friends. We always have wine at my book club. I truly enjoy the taste and the relaxed feeling. I certainly know my limits and never have more than two glasses. I enjoy some mixed drinks, but only have one because of the caloric intake and also because I am usually out somewhere an have to drive home. Wine always wakes me up in the middle of the night, so I drink plenty of water along with it. I was camping for a night with friends and we had vodka and cranberry juice -- one drink each. It was very pleasant. I almost never drink at home. I just don't enjoy sitting by myself and drinking. I'd have a glass of wine from time to time but I end up pouring out most of the bottle because it goes bad before I finish it. I don't like beer, never have. I would absolutely never force a drink on anyone else. I bet the person who did that was three sheets to the wind. Lots of people have good reasons for not drinking and I respect that. I am sorry your vacation was miserable, Olliesmom....See MoreAlcoholic Brother, Car Insurance - What Do I Do?!
Comments (30)From the time my oldest son was less than 2 years old, I have seen the influence an unrelated girl of a similar age can have on behavior. Maybe his drunken behavior chasing off the very one he sought to impress can be a catalyst you or your family could not provide. I hope it will be a helpful step for him. Perhaps you can help him by reminding him that alcoholics in recovery are not the only people who don't drink. Many people chose never to drink and others cannot drink for other medical reasons (past illnesses liver or kidney issues, medications they take), religious issues, etc. I doubt most folks would press for an explanation if he chose not to drink, but there are better ways to deal with the situation than to get drunk. He could simply say he took some allergy medication earlier and can't drink on top of that, ate something that didn't agree with him a day or two ago and is taking it easy -- nothing that commits him to a long term story. He can reveal himself if and when he's ready. He just needs to be prepared so he can handle the situation. Though I'm surprised that any treatment wouldn't include discussion about handling those situations, he obviously wasn't -- or he didn't want to believe that he needed to be. Maybe he needed some proof. Hope he see that he got it and that he's ready for it now. Cautiously hopeful for both of you....See MoreBumblebeez SC Zone 7
