Thanks everyone,now to answer your questions: Greg,everyone of those hen and chicks came from the 99 cent store.Not all the same day,but off and on.I had them scattered in different places on the patio,and got tired of changing out the plants(annuals) I had in those stacked pots,so decided to dump them/move them and plant the hen and chicks in there.I think it was a good move on my part. Chicago,those teacups came from a new discount store we got here in march called D.D'S discounts,it's part of the Ross chain.Lots of great bargains there,for every part of the house/gardens and also clothes,shoes and accessories.I make sure I check it out once a week at least. Sundewd, Those planters dh got from QVC several years ago and paid good money for them.Now they have them here in our 99 cent store from time to time in the terra cotta color.Thanks for the id,so Kalanchoe it is. Oh that stap opened today and I got a picture of it,havn't uploaded it yet,as I have another cactus that is in bud now and I want to get it's picture as well. Stay tuned!!! LOL Kathi

ya know sometimes i think where i live has a lot to do with my plants and flowers.I live along the coast in S.calif,and we always get the ocean breeze coming off the ocean,across the canyon etc.I say that because i really don't do anything special to any of them,don't use special soils,but i do add some perlite to what ever i do use especially with the cactus and succulents.I don't spend a lot of time worrying about bugs and critters,if i see them i take action at the time,mostly with a blast from the hose, soapy water or alcohol,don't use a lot of harsh chemicals etc. I generally walk around the yard everyday checking things out, as i grow a lot of annuals,perinnials etc,and somethings need deadheading most days. During the past few weeks i havn't been able to go out until late afternoons/evening as it's been unbearably hot and humid here, If any of you are interested in seeing my other plants and gardens,you can go to the cottage garden forum,lots of pictures there,also have some in Calif gardening,however that site is not as active as it should be.My name is the same all over this G.W. forums site.So feel free to go look and see what i have and what i grow,which is a little of everything. Thank you all for stopping by,and i'm so glad you enjoy the views. Stush,i'll send you another piece of that plant when it goes dormant.It has another bloom open today and still more to come.Stay tuned!!! Kathi

A bit of hosta lore with respect to this forum; My mother the late Pauline Banyai was trying hard back in the late 1950's to build up our home garden soil, which was quite sandy loam with a clay layer about 1-2 ft underneath (southeast Michigan typical soil). Not good for perennials! Living in the city, we were fortunate to have an undeveloped lot next door which my mother knew the owner of. She convinced the city of Madison Heights to dump their leaves gathered in the Fall on that lot - it was many dump truck loads, leaving a pile about 5-7 ft tall as the leaves were not compacted. Her 4 boys and the neighborhood kids proceeded to tromp the leaves down, leaving a 2-3 ft playing field over the winter. The next Spring the heavy winter snow had helped it drop another 1-2 ft as it composted down, while us kids continued to play on it. That summer my father began hand tilling that composted leaves into the garden, which took him a couple of years to complete. Then they started it all over again. Those who visited Mom's garden always wondered how the soil was so rich and soft; just work composted leaves in for a couple of years! Peter Ruh pushed that concept further and build his new hosta beds in compost piles which he built for purpose. I moved to Delaware and built my hosta beds in mushroom soil, which was dreamland!

I couldn't be an agility dog trainer. When Woofman Jack was a puppy, we had a dog trainer come to the house to train me and him. She liked to vary our training and locations, and one day she took us to a school playground. He went on the merry go round, and climbed up the slide and went down that. Puppies will do just about anything you want them to. But he was a VERY big puppy at 6 months, about 90 lbs. So there was one of those wooden platforms about 4-1/2 feet high, with a monkey bars that connected to a smaller slide. And she could run at that platform, and push herself up on it, with Woofman leaping gracefully onto it right next to her. It took me three tries to get myself up that stupid platform, and then I was to do a quick little flippy-turn and end up on my butt, seated, with my legs dangling. As uncoordinated as I am tho, I managed to plop my rear right on Woofman's paw as he was leaping onto the platform. I squished his toenail down into a little hole and he was dangling there by that one hand, hollaring. Fortunately DH was with us, and he ran up and grabbed Woofman around the middle and lifted him off the ground so that I could pry his toenail out of the little hole. He limped for days after that and I felt so guilty!

Todays forecast for New Orleans:
STORM WARNING IN EFFECT TODAY
Purple Reign expected to flood New Orleans late this afternoon and into the evening. Insignificant Brees should have no impact on tailgating enjoyment.

Today's Weather Word:
Favrefegnugen: That unique ability to lose games you shouldn't. Often accompanied by long periods of indecision and occasionally forgetting the words to "Pants on the Ground"

I think it's really dumb they are playing in the Pro Bowl BEFORE the Superbowl this year.

I would really like to see the Vikings and the Colts in the Superbowl. What a game that would be. Manning Vs. Favre. On the other hand the Jets have a really talented (young) QB out of USC that is hard not to root for. The Saints have had such an amazing season, it's tough to not want them to go all the way.

Doesn't look like the Colts defense have shown up today...

I'm surprised that the Pro Bowl is before the SB. There won't be any players from the SB teams so they won't get hurt. What a lame idea.
cynic

LOL jamie_la, sad to say it but I do think you're right. I'm just hoping it'll be a good game. If both teams are playing like they should it should be a great match-up. Two good teams. Let's get it on.

I won't say much more... for now. The Dullas Cobwebs, er, Dallas Cowboys found out what can happen when you spend the week with your mouths writing checks your butts can't cash!

Of course I'm rooting for the Vikes. But if this is the end of the road this year, they did well (and the crap over a new stadium should end). I'm still warm all over after the spanking they gave the "boys", though I'd have been happier if they had rubbed their noses in it a little more. I still haven't forgiven that franchise for Drew Pearson pushing off on Nate Wright. About the only grudge I hold! :D

And who IS the drunken buffoon that decided to put the Pro-Bowl before the Super Bowl? Probably thought they'd get more viewers, for more revenue. There you go. In theory, you keep many of the best players out of it. It's always a boring game anyway.

And I'm still moping over Seattle not doing any better.... Well, the cliche is there's always next year!

Hey Ron, if the Vikes should lose, and yeah, it could happen... it COULD happen... and a southerner COULD put together a coherent sentence too! Like "Who dat?". But if the Ain'ts beat the Vikes, I'll go half with you and we'll send them a case of microwave Lutefisk, OK? :)

Better yet, an English tutor??? :D

I can't take credit for the above post, it was a copy and paste from a Facebook friend.
Those southeners wouldn't know what to do with an English tutor. I'll never forget my first visit to my cousins in Texas. (I was 18) My cousins looked at me and said, "Y'all talk just like the man on the radio."

I like the lutefisk idea. But, they would probably flush it down the toilet, it would show up in some waste treatment plant, and then the EPA would get called in for a toxic waste cleanup. I'm liking the idea better all the time!

Fer cryin' out loud Ron, they eat MUDBUGS!!! If it comes out of water at any point in it's life, they put hot sauce on it and into the gumbo! :D
