I use to walk on a treadmill everyday while I watched Oprah for a whole hour. LOL!

Good Methods!

Please keep an eye on the area and report back to us around Memorial Day and 4th of July. Had you dumped a similar amount of organic fertilizer I predict you would have had a dark green color but not the extraordinary growth. That would be an interesting side-by-side test. A lawn on an organic program seems to have growth regulators in place so you don't end up mowing as much grass as a turf on a chemical program.

ISO a miracle for my Miracle Fruit plant
Q
Comments (6)
Thanks for the note back scottrell. I think I'll go with your advice. Purchased my MF plant maybe 2 years ago at Jene's Tropicals and it has always been very healthy. Produced about 30 fruit this past year and I've always babied it. Doesn't look as though there is any infestation and I am always certain to make sure the soil is acidic. There was even new green growth about a month ago.... Tomorrow I think what I'll do is empty it from it's pot, disinfect the clay pot and repot the whole plant into the same pot. Do you think I should remove any dead or dying leaves? I really don't want this little guy to go through any additional stress. Another thought I had, that I read somewhere, was to enclose the whole plant and pot into a plastic garbage bag with a bowl of water underneath, cut a few holes and let the humidity take over in a shady outdoor spot. Any thoughts on that approach? Again, thanks for the note back, Sue

Any guesses on Oprah's 'miracle of miracles'?

I've had a computer problem; this is my first day back for a while. The above blows my theory, but I'll share it any way. Oprah was going to announce that she would be running for Vice President in the next election. That would put her in line to be the first female President, black or white. But IF she is Sarah Palin's half sister, (LOL, good one!) that would take the fun out of it, because Oprah would not even consider that a contest. Sue

are your sheets coming off?
Q
Comments (25)
I must be missing something here. I have never had sheets come off a bed since they started making fitted bottom sheets many years ago. Maybe your sheets are to small. Sheets don't fit near as well as they did before they started making thicker mattresses and different size beds. I use an extra mattress pad to fill up the extra space of the sheets. I use the elastic strap on corners for my mattress pad to keep it from wrinkling.

Good Job Dink!!! I use a spin bike and I ride 45 minutes every day (3rd week now) to a CD, it's a whole lot easier when I get lost to the music ;0) Then I Yoga to stretch when I'm done.......this not smoking thing has added some shall we say fluff I didn't need to the fluff I already had.

I found that reading while on a treadmill and not looking at the clock either on the wall or on the treadmill made all the difference in the world.

Good for you! I love to read these stories of inspiration. I really need to find a place to store a piece of exercise equipment.

My exercycle is out in the very cold garage. And DH wonders why I don't use it! I wish we had a nice room for exercise equipment, then maybe I would use it.

That's great! Keep going!

I watch the Today Show every morning while I ride my exercise bike. I ride until I'm bored...a minimum of 60 minutes and I've actually gone up to 2.5 hours. Yesterday, I rode for 90 minutes. This morning, I worked 3 hours outside in the garden doing my winter clean up.

There is a sign posted in my gym at work that discourages people from doing something else while exercising, i.e., reading a book/magazine or watching T.V. It claims that when trying to perform both activities at the same time we're actually limiting our performance and not working to our bodies full potential - meaning, we're probably not working hard enough.

I still enjoy reading my magazines while I'm on the exercise bike.

For me, it's too hard to turn the pages of a magazine while on the treadmill, I always end up yanking the emergency stop button-thingie off the magnet. That drives me nuts!

I gotta do what I gotta do until somebody give me (ha ha) an MP3 player!

WRONG, Betsy, you don't need a place to store any exercise equipment, you need to toss a couch, and put it up front and center. :)

It's easier to use, if you don't have a "storage place" for it.

I walk around my neighborhood and look at all the houses as I go by. I look at the kids playing, gardens, in any windows where I can see in. I'm very nosy! And it's a great time passer! I live in a development where all the houses are one of two styles. I get ideas for decorating by seeing what the neighbors do!
