What Would You Do (If YOU got as Stupid as me)?
Comments (12)I had to act fast, so the first advice that came through on this thread, I took! These poor green softwood cuttings have been planted in moist dirt in the shade, and our weather will be warm for a good solid 2 more months, so fingers crossed they will get a good start prior to dormancy. When winter comes, it never really is what Eastern folks think of as winter. It's more like sunny and in the 60-70 range. Nights can dip kinda low, but rarely freezing. Snow has never happened. Now and then it rains. I'll post an update when and if I see growth on these cuttings. Next time I visit my friend I'll get more cuttings and I won't let them boil in the car for sure!! I'll bring an ice chest to bring them home in! Thanks to all of you for your great advice! Suzi...See MoreWe got our POWER back!!!!!
Comments (23)Part of the problem is that it's not always obvious that a stop light even exists. Many of the lights were completely turned around so that there was no pole stretching across the intersection. To someone not familiar with the area, or to someone with little driving experience, it might not be intuitive to stop at some of these intersections. And that's a good reason NOT to be driving at night till all the stop lights are repaired. But even in the daytime, many of these intersections are just plain dangerous. It really is amazing how much we depend on certain things that we take for granted. After nine days without power, I was so freaked out that I still don't feel recovered, even though it's been 4.5 days since we got it back. I will not restock my fridge & freezer for at least a couple of weeks. I've hit the grocery store twice since Sunday, each time buying enough to cook for two nights only. I still come home every night wondering if the lights will still be on. As of this morning 433,000 customers still don't have power. At least four of them sit near me in the office. Today will make two weeks. Until they all have power and all the stop lights work and all the schools reopen and all the stores reopen, we will still be in hurricane mode. Y'all are right, the aftermath is much worse than the actual storm....See MoreJust got water test back, what size softener do we need
Comments (1)You can use tanks 8"x48" (0.7 cuft per)tanks, or could go to the larger size of 10"x54" (1.5cuft). Is your plumbing 3/4" at the softener? Have you considered a carbon prefilter?...See MoreWhat Would You Do: Painters Got Paint on Awning... Won't Come Off
Comments (38)I live in Georgia. There is no way she can go after them. It's not possible. They don't have any money and live from job to job and are feeding their families and if you took money from them or got a judgment they could end up in prison if not able to pay and unable to provide for their family. It would not be satisfying. In the end it really just can't be done by us who feel sorry for them and understand these economic times. They usually work for less than a big company. They are not bad people just unfortunate people. There have been times when I have had to adjust my thinking to it being more or less a "donation" not that I can afford it but I can certainly afford it more than they can and have had in the past a better life. When you know the people and have used them before and had no problems with them it's not easy to haul them into court. I am happy that OP is not going that route even though she has been terribly wronged and certainly justified. Sometimes we get our reward in other ways. It's part of life and I am so very sorry this happened and hope that it will come out with some of the remedies presented. If not, I so feel your pain having had similar things happen to me on several occasions. It's no fun being the brunt of carelessness but sometimes the protracted route of going after people just make our stress level even worse and will end up the same anyway with you resolving it yourself. Here's to hoping it will all work out and that the paint will come out or be able to be covered up. I am sick about this for you....See Morecatgalvin
