oh, I loooove these new photos of Joseph's Coat, Boxo! this is Day of the Ladder Day! Whoo-hoo! I love those tangerine orange blends! So beautiful! What a glorious view you must be having Boxo! From a breathtaking aerial of your Garden to a closeups of the Almighty High near them Joseph's Rainbows, hehe! What a stunning vista I am right now envisioning! Now just be ultra careful! I always get nervous about my favorite people being up in ladders. Ironically I'm a reckless girl when it comes to myself, lol! I always brag about having "ballerina balance" and will balance on my tiptoes on rotating swiveling stools all the time, haha! or will climb up on a bookshelf too hehe!

Had a routine check-up for my 14 yr. old cat, Chloe in Oct. Her blood tests were all normal, but she had gingivitis and needed some teeth removed. We felt we should do this and could prolong her life. Never were we told of what the consequences could be. She was perfectly healthy. Had good appetite and was loving her KD. She almost died 4 yrs ago, of some kind of poisoning. This could have affected her kidneys. They brought her back then. After surgery, they gave her the opiated meds, stayed over night, no antibiotics. She was lifeless when brought home. Two days later, I knew something was not right. She didn't move. Sat. we took her to vet again. They administered G-SubQ fluids, and noticed the suture had come out. So, they gave her antibiotics then and gave us the meds to take home. She was a basket case. They had said to give the pain meds 12hrs apart but after 7 hrs. at home they said give her more. We didn't want to but we did. By Sunday, she was still not responding. Brought her in again on Mon., they gave her fluids and more meds and this time a shot of anti-biotics that lasts 12 days. By Tues, we brought her in again and she stayed over night where they put IV in and did blood tests and had an ultra sound to see what was going on. They thought she had kidney stones blocking but it turned out to be an enlarged heart. How did this happen? We brought her home on Wed. and had questions for the Dr. Called 4 times and never returned a call. She had pooped and peed and we thought maybe thats a sign. We stopped giving her the opiate. We administered a different antibiotic they sent us home with. Meanwhile she had stopped eating the whole time. By this time we felt we should feed her through a syringe, since the vet never mentioned anything about feeding her. Later we gave her the fluids at home and then gave her the antibiotic they had given us. By this time she was lifeless. Thurs., and Fri came and went. No call from the vet asking how she was doing, NOTHING!! We were on our own. Chloe passed Sat. morning peacefully at 4am. She became so weak couldn't even stand.We were with her till her last breath. We are so sick now. We brought her in to prolong her life and this is what happened. Never did they tell us what the consequences could be. Doing research now and the opiate meds they gave her, say not to give to cats with kidney problems. I feel they overmedicated her and gave her the wrong meds. She was great before we brought her in. Had a healthy appetite, showed nothing of any pain. Still no word from the VET!! I think they know what they did. I truly believe this was malpractice. We miss her so much. It's so hard.

Personally I would wait until they have sprouted and developed some true leaves. They don't need either prior to that, Then you can side dress with both but very lightly. As you mention both could burn young seedlings if not mixed in well and that would be difficult to do without messing up all the seeds. Dave

Hi, Had a flat roof on an extension replaced last week, GRP fibreglass and resin with a velux roof light in the middle. 4 days on, the fumes are still very bad. The whole house smells, we’ve had to throw food away, it’s fine with open windows but as soon as they are shut it comes back again. I would say slight improvement over the last 2 days. is this to be expected? If not what next? Any advice appreciated.
