23 years ago

I WON!! I still can't believe it! I got a call today from Rebecca at CK telling me I won their Ad Trivia contest and I will be getting $350.00 worth of scrapbook supplies!!!! :) The only down side is they said it won't get here for about 3 weeks! :( I am SO excited! They said that I will get a little something from each company that's name or ad was in the contest! This is SO cool! THe company's are: Northern Spy, Pioneer, Mambi, SRM, Carl, Hot Off the Press, Accucut, Generations, O'Scrap, J. P. Whimsey, stickopotamus, Zip Art, Club Scrap, Highsmith, K and C Company, Lasting Impressions, Rainbow Papers, Frances Meyer, KMA, Paper Adventures, Stampin Up, Mrs. Grossmans, Ellison's, C-Line, Creative Trends, Alaphabet Soup, Vintage Inks, Cockadoddle, Paper Patch, Provo Craft, Deja Views, EK Success, Cropper Hopper, CTMH, Undo, Lasting Impressions, Archival Mist, and Keep A Memory, I think that is all of them. Whew! I am going to have a BLAST! I guess God knew I wasn't going to be able to afford anything new for a long time since I had to help my daughter get a new to her car. Penny

I have a bareroot rose from last year and I have it in front of a side fence to discourage anyone from hopping the fence to get in the back. Someone stepped on it late last fall and broke and bent canes off to the ground and within a few inches. I cut them off and with normal watering it came back this spring, growing off what I thought were dead canes and I didn't see anywhere it could start growing from again. I almost think it's going to be a better rose bush for it. I don't think a bent, damaged cane could sustain the weight roses would put on it. From what you're saying I don't believe the rose will regrow the damage done. I don't really understand where it's broke out but I think you'll have to prune it off and hope to spark new growth with some watering. I'd be putting some Vitamin B1 on it for stress. You might create a well around the rose and water it deeply before you go, maybe it would be enough if it's not too warm where you are. Roses are pretty tough, I've had various accidents with them and thought they'd be toast and they were fine.

Hello all, I am a newbie, living in western ,NY, don't know the zone,sorry. first time in cottage gardens. I just had to write, because I was just watering the Lemon Balm I bought last week , it is in a pot in my garden window and I thought to myself, I should plant that outside !! ..haha i am so glad i came on here. I am finally getting my back yard to use for growing plants and for letting the wild things grow:) Before with 4 very sport minded kids it was a basketball court and vollyball court, now I have let part of the wetlands grow as it likes ... we keep it mowed in a manageable size, well I think we will be able to manage it. I also let some of my woody are grow free and now I have wild rasberries I think? and lots of stuff I don't know what they are. I also threw some cosmos seeds and other seeds my mum brought me over from england. so I will be back here with pictures for help, as soon as i can figure out how to work my new digatal camera, and upload picture, i am a newbie at everything, I guess my garden life begins at 6o:) Oh I have one queation, I have a bush/tree tha that what looks like golfballs on it, does anybody know what it could be, if they had a nike mark on them I would use them.. Thanks for any help you can give, sorry this is so long I am just so excited to have found this site. Cheerio for now, Rose

Congratulations! As Rebecca said, yes, weave in your tail. Be sure to go up and down, not side to side. Side to side will take away from the stretchyness provided by the ribbing at that point. (I once did side to side weaving on a sock where I changed colors frequently, and it really make the sock hard to get on.) Can you join at cast-on so you don't have the dip? I join by the trading stitches method. I don't know how others do it. Yes, picking up stitches for the gusset is the hardest part. I usually pick up 2 extra also. I bought double sets of needles and worked on each sock alternating back and forth so they were both done at the same time, but I have never had "second sock syndrome" where I didn't want to start the second one. He wants to play with your masterpiece, your fabulous creation!!!??? LOL! Oh well, at least he takes an interest in what Mom's doing. Tell him you'll knit him a pair to wear one of these days. Cute story.

I can't believe I found another deer tick on me!

I'm not an MD or a Vet and have never played one on TV (or radio), but...don't people diagnosed with Lyme take antibiotics for *many* months??? Not necessarily. It depends on a number of things, including the duration of the illness and the number (and identity) of any co-infections. It's very hard to say if an individual is getting proper treatment. As for me, I could pinpoint the day my symptoms started (before I found the tick), and I thought, based on my reading, that there was a good chance the bacteria could be knocked out by a month of doxy on top of the 10 days of amoxicillin the doctor had already prescribed. So far so good, although I'm still nervous about the whole thing. If any symptoms come back, I'll have to resort to seeing an LLMD (Lyme-Literate MD). I would not look forward to that. There are no LLMDs in my area, so I'd have to travel--and probably pay quite a bit if s/he doesn't take Medicare.

The contest was on page 151 of the July/August issue but a copy of it is online at CK. You had to match the ad up with the right company or product. It was really easy since they gave you the page # it was on, but it was pretty time consuming, since I did it on my lunch breaks from work and I didn't have much time to do it, so it took me 3 days. LOL I think this is just super! I will be sure and let you know what I got if someone will dig me out of the box when it gets here. LOL Penny
