Bone meal is harmful to eat in large amounts because it can form obstructions in the stomach/intestines. -edit- This was actually taken care of from the link posted before http://www.petpoisonhelpline.com/poison/bone-meal/ Also, on the N content of bone meal...if it's steamed it's nearly bare of N (though some claim values of 2-3 N (NPK)). If it's dried/crushed it can contain a 4-5 N (NPK) value of N. That said, almost all commercial bone meal is steamed and personally I'd ignore it's N content given it's lack of quick availability anyway.

Not sure which they would call it, pattico, but sure am sorry that your DD had that happen. Guess the doc will just have to understand. Does DD think they will hire a temp or is she worried about her job? My DS, who has had back problems since he was 18 just got the news yesterday that his back has gotten worse. An ER dr. told him he would probably have to have surgery. I told DS not to worry so much until he could get other opinion. Unfortunately, he lost his job because it was his first day. I knew that he would not make it through the day. The job required him to stand at a machine and move fast around it. He could barely stand up straight for the past few days, much less have to move fast. He told them the problem and they sent him home. And he is not eligible for employment with them again. Bad thing is, he has been trying to get on with this company for over a year. His employment sure came at a bad time.

Okay, off topic, Sally, please, please do a new post, for your reveal. I do enjoy all the white kitchens but for many reasons did not do one myself; we non-Somethin's Gotta Give remodelers need more inspiration photos! Was that Costa by the way? It's gorgeous! On topic: When one measurement changed, I did not think through how that impacted the rest of the plan. Despite research on the web and the store, when I received my microwave trim kit, the cabinet needed to get deeper than planned. I figured out pretty last minute that we now had a tiny unacceptable walkway and we moved the fridge over. We were so busy congratulating ourselves on our narrow escape, but the ride wasn't over. I didn't think about the 3 upper spacious cupboards that would now be microscopic when installed. The cabinet maker cut me a pretty good deal to redo that set with fewer but bigger doors. He definitely went above and beyond, and given what everyone else has posted about contractors, I am so very grateful that it got corrected as it did. Another one I did not think about soon enough was making a Ceiling and Texturing Plan. This is not the same as a Lighting plan, although lighting obviously figures into the equation. We did parts (not all) of this project DIY. We hadn't realized some areas that we needed to mud better because they would not be covered by tile or cabinet (ie above the window) and he had to add some hot mud last minute. Given the contractor we got (a personal rec), that was only a small upcharge. Also, be aware that once your texturing is underway, the room is sealed off. You can't supervise unless you are sealed in too. I would send in a big map or go over it with blue tape that you remind him to pull off before he starts that area. Like another poster, I also did not figure out that I wanted my ceiling light hung from a different position. I will not retexture, my husband is adamant that I find a table fixture that can be hung to correct position by a chain and a hook. It is what it is. The height and exact placement of the hood was not ideal. I was adamant that it be within the manufacturer's specs so that it worked properly. However, there were several inches of leeway within those guidelines. Have everyone pretend to be cooking and see what they think. It should have been higher to avoid my husband bumping his head. He is learning. But that was definitely a mistake.

Everyone here has given you great advice on watering. Cacti also like sun, plenty of sun. Mine are in front of a SW facing patio door for winter and various colder and/or rainy days and go out on the deck with a southern exposure during the summer when Mother Nature isn't trying to drown us. If yours is in lower light right now I would move to somewhere brighter if you're able but do so gradually as in my experience even a cactus can burn if moved to quickly to bright light. Welcome to the plant addict collection club. Be careful. I had reached a point where not only was my living room infested with leafy friends, but I had an entire bedroom dedicated to my plants, most of which where cacti and succulents. There are so many variations of size, shape, color, flower size/shape/color, variegation, growth habit etc that you can amass a small army before you know it, and if you're at all like me the stores and garden centres in your area have run out of things you don't already have so now you're online shopping for more exotic and rare plants and seeds that now it's just become ridiculous. Heh. Not to scare you or anything. Happy gardening. Look forward to you hopefully sharing with us as your collection grows and your plants thrive.
