Stacy, I love my Tahoe, too! I'm by myself, live in Florida, and considered buying a convertable of some kind. I thought about it for a brief second, then realized that I have a MUCH better chance of surviving an automobile crash in my Tahoe, so that convinced me I already own my 'dream vehicle'.

I love, love, love that Camero but my DH is a Ford guy so I got a new mustang instead. I still have my SUV too. I couldn't live without it and the room.

I seriously LOVE ladybugs.

They are available in larger nurseries and are sold in containers or netting. If you are not using them right away they can be refrigerated (the bugs go into a hibernation due to the cold) but NOT FROZEN. Next, take them out of the fridge and keep them in a cool spot in your yard-- a covered patio, below a tree. Generally you can put them out and sprinkle them under the base of the roses in the evening when the sun is not so intense. More experienced people can open the container and with a small stick-- allow the ladybug to climb onto the stick and then transfer the insect to the food source directly. Yes, some will walk the opposite direction of the food but at least they will be on the plant. You can also release them on an overcast day too at the base of the plant that has the aphids.. Now one important thing-- there is a food source (some sort of cotton with some food they eat inside the container and the wood shavings) Its important to spritz the container or the netting with cool water every so many days-- even if they are in the fridge too. Do not soak them just a spritz of water -- they need the water also to survive. If they do fly away, it just means they are searching for a food source-- they like aphids, but they can fly elsewhere (like the aphids do too). I find usually the aphids are greenish on the roses but they can come in other colors too-- black or brown colors (sort of blending in with whatever plant they are on.) My Dad has a mock orange that gets covered on the stems with the black variety. Ladybugs to the rescue on that plant too.

What's going on with my Baby Bunting?

Thanks - these hostas keep me learning! I can see it does look like Lemon Lime - very nice hosta also.... I am liking its pretty ruffles better than Baby Bunting I think. So, Schiba, I guess one of the cool things about the rocks is I can turn it over and write a new name on the back! All my rocks are from Lake Ontario - my son brings them home everytime we go up to the lake. I needed something to do with them! I do need to get some sealant to put on them though - the sharpie wears off without it.

Thanks ladies :) i knew you would understand. Dotz, we have been trying for awhile now, even before we were married. I temped & charted for a looong time. The Billings Method is an extension of that--it's paying attention to, and charting things like cervial mucus, temps, etc. Unfortunately, my/our issues are my tubes. So even with us perfectly timing intercourse, my right tube is totally out of commission. I CANNOT get pregnant if I ovulate on my right side. I have a better chance on my left side, but there is some minimal scarring there, as well. It's about 75% open according to my RE. So technically--I CAN get pregnant on that side and probably WILL at some point. But considering the fact that a woman only has a 25% chance each cycle, even with well-time intercourse, AND considering the fact that I can only get pregnant roughly 50% of the time when I ovulate (since it has to be from my left ovary)---the odds are stacked against us. Not to say it can't and WON'T happen naturally...but it could take years. :( It is very disheartening, especially since my DD was a snap, oops pregnancy! :) One thing that just floors me is when people say "oh, give it time, you are so YOUNG." Well---I get what they are saying but it annoys me nonetheless. First of all, I am not THAT young. I'm 28. Secondly, my DD will be 7 in a few weeks and SS is already 7. If I got pregnant TODAY, they would be almost 8 by the time the baby is born. With every month that passes by, the age gap gets wider and wider. I never wanted to raise my children separately. THAT makes me sad. And that's why it annoys me when people, albeit well-meaning ones, say "oh, you're so young...why rush?" SIGH.

Seriously on the fence about my vintage range...

Deedles, yes, I got the handle a while back. I remember posting on the Chambers board asking which one it was so I could get the right sized handle. I was pretty clueless. Luckily, Todd had a great diagram he posted for me that really cleared things up. I haven't gone into the storage in a while, but I think the latch on the storage cabinet needs to be repaired/replaced. There's so much that it's daunting. You were really lucky that the grease coating preserved your innards. Here's a few pictures of mine: Pretty rusty. The thermowell was pretty nasty, but not too bad after the gunk removal The oven bottom was pretty rough and pitted. I had it re-porcelained. Maybe you could ask DH, Is that the wire he's talking about in the back of the picture? The one that is drooping in the back? : ( This picture was taken the day we picked it up. The post it note is stuck on the one badly bent leg. The other 3 and skirt are all MIA. The oven rack is upside down. I only got the one, I think 2 is standard. On the upside, the sides of the oven cleaned up pretty nice. A couple of the burners were in a box and the wagon wheel pilot cover was missing. Fortunately I found it inside the carcass covered with gunk. I'm trying to not think too far ahead and try to focus on mini tasks. I do however have to get all the chrome stuff together to take it them to the shop. The turn around time is about 3 weeks. The last time I worked on her, I couldn't get all the screws out of the chrome top so it's still connected. I'm hoping to get over there tomorrow to soak the screws in WD40 to try to loosen them. Now that I'm committed, I want to try to get her home by Christmas or rather by Dec 19. Ambitious, I know. That's when my in laws come into town. They are not DIYers, they pay people. They are always saying, "aren't you done YET?" My MIL can't understand why I like older or vintage things. She's of the mindset that new and modern is best. To be perfectly honest, that's the reason I was so tempted to get the Bert.

OH My Stacey!
That would be a hard decision for me. I would love to have a Tahoe and I understand where you are coming
from with all the kids and driving on their own. But, I love to sit higher then cars in an SUV. I have a 2003
Chevy Blazer and I love the Camaro, I would really have a hard time with this. Keep us all posted with what you decide.
I went to the link you posted and designed my own camaro. It was just gorgeous.
DH works at a GMC dealer and on May 6 they are having an unveiling for the new Camaro and I am going!!!!
So keep your eyes open for some pics around this day :-)

Well, Stacy..... My current dream car is a Mustang convertable. I drive a Ford Expedition. Years ago, I told DH that he couldn't ever buy me a car that didn't sit me up high so I could see. Until I drove the mustang we rented! But the heavier vehicles are so much safer to drive, being heavier built, so you have a better chance in an accident. I am debating, also, but I also know it's gonna be a few years before I have to make the choice! And most of the time it's just me in it. I still use it to tow with, to, with no other car/truck to do so.

Something for you to think about. You live in an area where the deer are much more prevalant than I do. And I see alot of deer! Remember you last encounter? Think about that before deciding to go smaller. But if you do get the small car, enjoy it!

You all are so lucky to not have to worry about nice or new cars, or the purchase of same. I can't imagine that myself.

I'm hoping to keep my old '93 Buick running and get the air conditioner fixed cause it quit last week. This old gal does not handle the heat well at all.

Granlan...who has always dreamed of driving a pretty red car. :)

Aside from deer and crashes, Stacy, have you checked into the price of car insurance? Used to be, insurance on those kinds of cars was ridiculously high, I don't know if it still is. It might factor into your decision....

I still love and miss my '66 Mustang. That car was like a dream, it ran so quietly and was so dependable.

Seriously debating......can I go from my lovely baby
