WIll I harm these trees if......????
Comments (7)And if that just isn't possible, I would suggest trellis and a couple of vines near (not ON) the garage wall, or else follow Pinetree's suggestion and paint a mural on the wall. The arborvitae will sustain root damage, and if they survive that, they will be very restricted. Having plants (of any kind) right next to a building isn't a good idea anyway - you get bugs, mold, mildew and possibly the plants/branches rubbing on or lifting the siding or the roof. Much better to take them out now, when you have eaqsy access to them, rather than having to maneuver around the then tight quarters a few years after the garage is finished. I will grant the remote possibility that the arborvitae may well survive and grow well, but it is pretty remote. And having the construction crew respect the trees just won't happen, what with heavy machinery for grading, fill-dirt dumping and subsequent compaction, as well as cement floor pouring, and putting up the walls next to the arborvitae. You will have a much happier crew if the trees aren't there....See MoreWould you be aggravated?
Comments (20)I'd prefer to write a note on nice stationery, but my family members would be hurt if they didn't get the *&^% Hallmark card! They think it shows how much I care that I went to a store & lovingly picked out just the right card for them. Miss Manners has said that store-bought cards are a rude cop-out. That the *proper* way to send birthday greetings is to write a letter on your stationery, in your own hand. I'm sorry there are bigger problems, Sue. I can see my DH perhaps focusing on the "in your arms forever" and thinking that's sweet without being cloying, and not really focusing on the other stuff. I can sort of understand that it might not occur to him that people might buy an anniversary card for some OTHER couple's marriage. I also think it's weird for OTHER people to send anniversary cards. I consider my anniversary to be between me and DH. Maybe it's the kids' business. But i have always thought it was weird to get a "happy anniversary" card from random aunts and uncle. And I think it's weird to go to my in-laws for a dinner to celebrate my anniversary every year. The big ones, yes. The 4th anniversary? Butt out. (I did have to say quite sternly that ON our anniversary, we are not available; it is OUR time, and we are not including his parents in our marriage, they are NOT invited. Though I did finally give up on the idea of celebrating it in general with them, and we try to get over there for dinner sometime near our wedding date, but I try to ignore the anniversary aspect as much as I can. It just feels like a private celebration.)...See MoreAnyone take Seasonale?
Comments (1)What did your doctor say about it? I don't understand what you mean by "your regular birth control". Diaphram? IUD? Condom? If you miss taking one of your contraceptive pills you are suppose to start using a back-up form of birth control right away and continue to do so for at least one month while continuing with the rest of the pills on the regular schedule. You really should have called your doctor right away for advice when you missed the pill. There is a possibility that you became pregnant and are experiencing a miscarriage. Or you may have just thrown your system out of whack and need to be prescribed a different combination birth control pill. The answer to your other question is "Yes". Uterine contractions during your menstrual period can aggavate existing problems in the spine. Bring this up to your doctor when you call him/her tomorrow and see if there is anything that can be done to relieve the pain or if it is severe enough, get a referal to an ostoepath....See MoreHELP !!

Comments (31)Briley, this post was written a while back but I hope you still read the comments. I can so relate to you. My dads wife came into the picture and acted nice as pie at first..then she slowly drove a wedge between my dad and I. Her jealousy of your relationship with him and concern for $$ after he dies I believe are her motivating factors -as are my dads wife's motivations and concerns. I truly feel that if they don't care about the adult children -they really don't care about their spouse. Caring for your spouse is being cordial and welcoming at the very least to your husbands children-no matter what age. My dads wife has wrapped such a web around him-he cannot even see what she's done to us and our father daughter bond. ): and the grandchildren. My advice to you is to make plans often (3x) week to see your dad outside the house without her-quick coffee, dinner, breakfast, a walk on his lunch break -keep your bond strong before he retires. Once retired, the talons get even stronger. I am so very sorry and I can relate more then you even know. It's really really important to not let her keep you from having one on one time with your dad. My dads wife would call and talk to my dad for 20 mins when I was out having a special lunch with him. She would tell me as they left my house"they were going home to have some fun". It makes me want to throw up. She would exhibit naked statues around the house when we came to visit with young children saying it was art. She's highly jealous and suspicious if I am talking alone with my dad like I am the other woman. Some people are really mental. I wish every day that my dad had never married her and ruined our family....See MorePhoneLady
