Thanks for your response. In hopes that I misdiagnosed it, I just took some photos of the Ficus and will post below. It was a pretty cool tree, especially the exposed root system. It will be really disappointing if I have to trash it just 2 months after I bought it, but from what I have read, it doesn't sound like it was caused be me doing something wrong. Photos taken 11/20/2010: Thanks very much for your guidance. Jamie P.S. Everything in the gritty mix has been doing very well. We have re-planted many house plants and have used up about 7 cu ft of the gritty mix already. Even the big schef that had the traumatic replanting seems to be doing well now that it is in the gritty mix. I've been using Foliage Pro on everything and have been very happy with the way my plants have been looking. I started adding in Proteckt from Dyna-Gro as well. I'll get some current photos together and make a post to show off everything that is in gritty mix. Thanks!

I just noticed there's some more responses. Thanks, everyone. DS and I are going to roast a chicken, and I think we'll make a pot roast in case he feels he can eat that, too. It's sort of like soup. My DIL tells me he's been eating so much chicken leading up to this since that's all he could tolerate, that he's tired of chicken. Well, he's getting one anyway, but the pot roast will be there for him if he can eat it, and it can be frozen or saved for a few days otherwise. The bread's a good idea. I like to make bread. I'm also going to make butternut squash soup that should get some good vitamins in him. Maybe all that will do him some good. Thanks again, Sally

I had some of the same symptoms you are having while we were traveling.....I thought if I drank lots of water and lots of cranberry juice and got some of those pills that turned my urine orange I would be OK...(and I am a retired RN)....but when I awoke the next morning in severe pain, peeing blood with clots and a fever, I knew I needed to be seen. Even if you don't develop a full blown bladder infection, those nasty bacteria still lurk, awaiting for your immune system to become vulnerable.....it may end up attacking your kidneys. Please get it checked out.

I read that she was annoyed by screaming children running up and down the aisle in First Class. I would be annoyed by that, too. Mostly with the parents who were allowing it, then with the FAs who are probably too scared of the ruckus it would cause with those same parents if THEY tried to stop the unruly kids. I wouldn't expect that kind of atmosphere if I was sitting in First Class. I'm not excusing Trump's behavior, though, it sounds like she over-reacted. I think it's times like those when fellow passengers need to get slightly involved and shut those kids down, because the FAs can't be everywhere at once AND the FAs have to walk a really fine line between enforcement and diplomacy/customer service. For all they know, that situation could be a set-up by the airline to test their skills and see if the FAs perform to their liking. If the adults on board had simply blocked the aisles so the kids were unable to run back and forth, maybe then the parents could have settled them down and strapped them in. This is assuming all the children had seats assigned to them. I know up to a certain age, you can (ridiculously) hold them in your lap, on some airlines.
