    I've been posting here off and on since 1998 and a lot of folks have come and gone. I guess it's the nature of the beast. We're fortunate that Karl posts quite often and another veteran is Rosebud who I'd like to hear from more often. As mentioned above Cindy was always a hoot to hear from, and there's lots of others. I like the idea of treating each other well, but the problems that have happened here over the years remind me of what sometimes goes on inside local Rose Societies. There always seems to be someone who wants to prove they are better, smarter, etc. Keep up the good thoughts and this Forum will continue. Chuck

    Really want to know - What determines if a questions gets replies

    Post I most wanted to respond to but took the high road: "Do you like knobs?" I certainly do but this is a kitchen forum. Beyond that uncharacteristic moment of restraint (which I have always regretted) I try to stick to threads where I can share a bit of what I learned researching the kitchen I worked on (seems a shame not to put that info to some use). Consider myself to be a little TKO but I'm not usually enamoured with whatever materials are defining the high end these days and I am definitely not remotely concerned with what the Jones' are up to. You can do good design at almost any price point. Find it hard to advise people on issues of taste but I have made the occasional stab at it.

    I am not familiar with Helpful Gardener but I am afraid that some of the answers you got over there are inaccurate. This is indisputably a Vinca. There is also a confusing use of the name 'Vinca' for an entirely different species, Catharanthus, which doesn't help. There are, as you say, several Vinca species and cultivars within those species. What features do you think are different about yours from the Google results? They look the same to me. Note that the flowers in your photo are not fully open for the most part and that colour varies greatly in photos and on Google. https://www.flickr.com/photos/gcnursery/6086085574/

    What do you REALLY want to know about bed sheets?

    Q

    Comments (41)
    Someone asked if people still embroider. Yes, we do, but it is one of those fine slow skill things that most people don't teach to kids and kids don't want to learn. I was taught as a child by my mother who was taught by her great grandmother. It is something that takes time, and artistry to do well, and sadly, most do not know what is done well so a machine can do simple stitches and patterns easily enough. Anything more on sheets, is a big luxury. In our disposable society, the time to do even simple hand edging on sheets or pillowcases, or a full design on cases is simply not what anyone wants to invest in. Truly good sheets and cases are very expensive and putting that together with the skill required to do the embroidery and the time to do it, is cost prohibitive and not what most people want. Embroidery is a labor of love these days, and ends up being framed if it is done really well. I have done pillowcases that took dozens of hours to complete, but they were for gifts to those that really knew what they were seeing. It isn't easy to put a price on something that takes so much time to create. Practically speaking, hand embroidery is also not something that stands up well to modern washing machines, dryers and detergents. When sheets were washed by hand or were much more substantial an investment and they were treated delicately, it was more achievable to keep embroidered linens. If you really want this kind of thing, look at estate sales and garage sales, but know that the sizing will probably not fit a modern bed. I buy embroidered linen pieces at garage sales for a quarter because I cannot stand to see such love, effort and skill, sent to a dump, or unappreciated. For me, it is heartbreaking to see pieces that took months of work, sitting in a pile on a card table, heaped in with machine made dollar store items. Hardly anyone knows the difference or cares. Sorry! Rant over. :)

    What about picking 10 of your favorite questions here and starting over?

    My favorite two questions when I do these are 1) What have you eaten today, and 2) What are you wearing?

I was LMAO wondering what you were thinking as you wrote them all! I figured I'd just answer the ones that were neutral questions ;^D. Geezelouise, Girl, you must have been EXTREMELY bored to write all of that! But, the bottom line is that we like you and know that you meant well.

    No need to worry, Newdawn, that this thread will be here forever -- we all know this forum self-destuctes every few months and loses all its history pages....

    And nothing here compares to the chronic oversharing i do IRL anyway....

    How old are you? 43 going on 60

    Are you in love? I'm trying hard to remember what that felt like...

    Are you married? No

    How many times have you been married? None. I was engaged once though. I don't know what I was thinking, either...

    What type of medicine do you take? Mostly hypertension, statins, BPH, and pain relievers

    Ever had an operation? Hernia repair, minor stuff after injuries

    How many children do you have? None. I hope.

    Do you think you could ever have an affair even though your married? I'm single, but I already have with a married woman. Her husband was a controlling, abusive jerk that constantly threatened her and smacked her around. I have no moral or ethical qualms whatsoever.

    What architectural style is your house? Generic 1950s cheapo duplex

    Looking around your house what have you collected the most? Dust

    If you could change your name what would you change it to? I can change my name if I want. I've polled my friends on this. First name staying put though.

    Favorite style of room? A wood-paneled lounge room with a wet bar, or a nice keeping room for guests with seating and tables everywhere

    Favorite city? London. Or the north shore of Oahu.

    Favorite cookie? Chocolate chip, preferably with pecans

    How many soft drinks do you drink in a day? And what brand? 2 or 3, Coke, Cherry Coke, or Dr Pepper. Also like Moxie which is hard to find in most places. Real sugar only please.

    Favorite style sofa? Love seat with recliner

    Are you over weight? I could stand to gain a few pounds.

    Short or long hair? For me, short, because it's easy to keep neat and dries quickly. But I like longer hair on women.

    When is the last time you were flirted with? A few months ago

    When is the last time you made love? Last month, but in the true sense of the phrase, two summers ago.

    Do you have any addictions? cheese, Ambien

    How many fireplaces do you have in your house? none, unfortunately

    How many lamps do you own? About 8. Only one nice one though. I'm a recessed-lighting guy

    Would there be any situation where you would kill your parents? This question was asked on a job interview, I promise. No. I had genuine reason to fear they would bump me off though when I was a teenager

    Have you ever smoked cigarettes? Only once. I hated it, fortunately

    Have you ever smoked weed? Yes. World's most overrated recreational drug. I get a better buzz from Ambien.

    One of your favorite singers / One of your favorite groups? I have too many to select just one.

    How many mirrors do you have in your house? I don't even own a full-length mirror

    Do you look at yourself in the mirror often? No

    What kind of car do you have? VW Rabbit. Awesome car.

    How many miles do you have on your car? about 45,000

    When is the last time you went out to dinner? Last night

    Where did you go to dinner? Can't remember the name; it's the diner near where I work out sometimes

    Are you happy? Only on rare occasions

    Could you REALLY say you truly know yourself? Yes

    Do you like parties? Yes, as long as they revolve around socializing rather than alcohol

    Do you like to give parties? Yes, although the preperation and cleanup can be exasperating

    Favorite holiday? Christmas

    What color is your hair? Dark brown

    What's your favorite decorating blog? Don't read any

    How many sofa's do you have counting love seats and porch/deck furniture? One. That's all that will fit in my apartment!

    Favorite day of the week? Saturday, of course

    Favorite television program? Friends. A brilliant soap opera masquerading as a sitcom, its spot-on portrayal of more-than-friends, not-quite-lovers amorphous relationships resonates with me unlike anything else on TV. Did I mention it's also fall-on-the-floor, bounce-off-the-walls funny?

    Would you like to be rich or famous? I've gone out of my way to avoid any inkling of fame all my life. I want only enough money to live comfortably

    Are you rich? No

    What do you consider rich? Lots of close friends and interesting experiences. Not lots of money.

    Would you rather have a luxury car or a killer stove? The car. I already have a Gaggenau halogen cooktop, the best there is.

    Do you enjoy out of town company? Yes

    Do you like to travel? Yes, once I've arrived at my destination. The traveling itself gets tiresome.

    Do you still have childhood friends? A few from my teens

    Did you go to college? Yes

    What magazines do you subscribe to? Nothing anymore, I just read them online.

    Do you have any friends that are gay? No, but wouldn't avoid someone for that reason

    Would you consider yourself liberal or conserative or middle of the road? I lean leftward on social issues, rightward on economic ones

    Are you an introvert or extravert? Wildly extroverted, although you'd be hard pressed to know that if you've only seen me this last year

    Do you like to wear high heels if your a woman? I'm not a woman, and I don't think they look good on them either. And they're ridiculously uncomfortable and impractical and probably bad for your feet. Flats all the way for me.

    Do you like to wear belts? I prefer elastic stretch fabric around the waist. Belts are uncomfortable and unyielding.

    What is your dress size? I don't know, i've never worn one. They don't look good on men.

    Would you consider yourself a good friend? I've been told I am; I'm reluctantly starting to believe it

    Do you like sex? With an enthusiastic partner, immensely. With someone who begrudgingly "puts out", not at all.

    Do you live in a small town or large town? Fairly large

    When is the last time you had a alcoholic drink? Cabernet a few days ago. It's hard to sneak in a drink when all my rx meds say "don't take with alcohol"

    Do you think you have sex appeal? Only if I work hard at it

    Have you ever been arrested? Not yet. But I've been lucky.

    What is more romantic, candles or the light from a fireplace? The fireplace.

    What religion are you, if any? Not religious

    How many television sets do you have in your house? 3

    How many books would you say you read in a year not counting magazines or newspapers? 15

    Do you like your next door neighbors? Yes. They've changed often though, and I miss my old ones

    When people first meet you (after two hours) what do they notice besides your looks? That I'm very perceptive

    Favorite flower? Whatever my girl likes best. Yes, I do pay attention!

    Would you rather spend Thanksgiving with Barefoot Contessa or Paula Dean? Never heard of either one

    When you see people kissing in public (not on the cheek) do you look away? Yes, although I think it's cute and heartwarming as long as they're away from a crowded area. But excessive PDA in public areas is distasteful. One woman I knew thought couples that always see the need to hold hands or hug or smooch whenever others are around, often are making up for what they don't have when they're alone together. I think she's right.

    Would you be more attracted to a extremely weathy man or an incredable drop dead gorgeous man? If your a man, change the sex. Probably the drop-dead-gorgeous woman. But I like a deep, sultry voice even more than great looks.

    If you had your choice and money was no object, what type of house would you buy? A moderately-sized first-floor condo in the crossroads of the city

    Are you gay? No, it squicks me just thinking about getting it on with another man. Not that there's anything wrong with that...

    Can people tell what region you are from your voice? Evidently not. I've been asked if i'm Canadian. Even British.

    Are you a grandmother or grandfather? I'm not even a dad

    Do you want to have kids one day? Never. I'd would remind me of my own childhood and cause unpleasant flashbacks. I'd consider fostering a teenager to adulthood though.

    Who fascinates you on GW? You can only pick one. I can't remember everyone, or who's still here. On this forum, i'll go with redbazel or runninginplace, they seem to have the most in common. Also the ones already named. (I can't pick just one of anything)

    Pool or fireplace? Pool. I love water

    Would you rather go to the show or rent a movie? I love going out, but tiredness usually results in renting

    What profession would you really like to be in? Advertising maybe. Or music/record production

    Do you have any regrets? Too many to mention

    Do you know how to change a tire? Yes, have done it many times.

    How many languages do you speak? I'm working on English

    Has your husband or wife ever embarrassed you in front of other people? Yes or No? Not married, but my SO never has

    Are you honest? Yes, brutally sometimes, except to people who lie to me. (how could you answer this "no"? If you did, you'd be honest by saying that!)

    That's ok I wasn't being all that serious....

    But I'd still be curious to try some of those pills you have, whatever they may be :-)

    The 7 or so different pills I've been prescribed for pain (mostly back pain - scoliosis) barely work even to ease my aches anymore....

    oh and that should have been "self-destructs" rather than that mangled word i somehow typed. 3 typos in one word is pretty weak....
