You are welcome to choose from a Rutger or Tomande as a "small" mater.......Mortgage Lifter or Beefsteak as a "large" tomato...... All healthy "foot-tall" plants started Christmas day.....already planted in small buckets of 5-1-1.... I'm in Colonialtown/Downtown Orlando(near Leu Gardens)......e-mail address in my profile......

Do you babysit for free? If not, that cost plus the cost of gas, is it worth driving 70 miles to a job? You raised your family and it's her responsibility to raise hers. It's her boyfriend not husband. She's in a situation she chose to have, not you. Where's his family? You have helped her for 7 1/2 years and she needs to apparently be reminded of that. She chose to work nights, not you. You were not asked before the decision was made. It apparently was a "taken for granted". I would just tell her that you have watched your grandchildren all that time and love them deeply just as you do her. However, his children are not your responsibility. Where's his family? You have given all that time for her. You are not being selfish but it was her decision to take this job. Lesson learned -- we have to take responsibility for the decisions we make and the consequences. She made the decision to work nights and she needs to find the babysitter. She can check with daycares where perhaps one of the workers would be willing to work nights. She can advertise. If your husband works days, then that simplifies it some in that the evenings are for him to relax or the two of you to do things together - not babysit, especially 4 children. I wish you the best.

I wanted to give you all an update. I finally had enough and a few weeks ago I gave my sister a piece of my mind and told her my free babysitting services were over due to her lack of helping around here. She freaked out and told me she was moving out. I told her that was not necessary but she could do what she had to do. I told her that I was only willing to babysit 3 days a week and she would have to find childcare the other days. And I told her that if she is going to be late coming home from work she needed to ask me to watch her son, not just tell me that she would be late because of whatever reason. So I had told her I needed her to find a babysitter for Mon and Fri this week. Sunday night she was complaining about how her friend could not babysit today and how she had nobody to watch her son. I just said well I have "XYZ" to do Monday so I can't babysit either. Then I walked into the other room. Magically she found another friend. I can tell she is having a hard time covering those two days. She has also been doing more around the house. And if she has errands to run after work she now brings her son with or has her boyfriend babysit. (she started dating a close guy friend of hers whom she has known since we were kids). So all is better. Thanks for your advice, it gave me the courage to finally stop being her doormat.

They are Epiphyllum. I would cut them down to more manageable sizes, 6-8 inches are long enough. Let the callous for about two weeks then root them in plain perlite. mist them about once a day and you should have roots fairly quickly. If they all came off of the same plant, I'd just put them in a hanging pot with very well draining soil and hang them in a tree outside, otherwise I'd pot them by variety. They should take off from there and even bloom in a year or so.
