Comments (5)Ingrid, I live about 20 miles inland from Malibu, near Calabasas. It gets very hot in the summer, but the rose bed I'm working on gets some afternoon shade. I've never tried tea roses, but will definitely look into them. Although, I may have tea roses covering my front fence line. They have small blooms in pale yellow and white, that bloom in spring, starting now actually. They remind me of popcorn. hoovb- I love that photo of Disneyland, looks similar to Joseph's Coat. So pretty with the alyssum. You reminded me that Tuscan Sun is also on my list and after reading other posts, I remembered Brass Band which I had planted and loved at our last house....See MoreBright White or Off White w/ This Granite?

Comments (10)sarapamela, are the "dove white" "white dove" colors getting mixed in your mind? I know they do mine! What brand are you talking about? I know SW AND BM have one and the other. But, what is "dove white" at BM is not like "white dove", or did I mix that up too? One brand is creamier, one is whiter. I have SW dove white (or is it white dove) on my trim, and it seems a lot whiter to me than BM other. Is that confusing enough? I'm very anxious to hear what color/brand you go with, I'm in the process of choosing as well. But I DID notice that in your first post, you called it BM's white dove, and then in the choice post, you called it dove white. So, is there a difference in choice? Or just words? LOL Crazy paint makers and their names!...See MoreHelp! Major decision to make...
Comments (20)Froggy, One of my first posts to this board was about my maid of honor. She was my suppossed best friend for 15 years before I was engaged. She was always a difficult person to get along with but I stuck by her for many different reasons. (she is bi-polar, but will not stay on her meds) When I got engaged our friendship went sour very fast. The day after we broke the news she called wanting to know why I had not asked her to be my MOH yet. I didn't want to choose her to begin with because I knew the stress and strain would increase her problems. Yet, in the end I asked her because I didn't want to deal with the aftermath of not asking her. From the beginning she has been against my relationship only because she herself can't sustain a healthy relationship. Long story short (maybe not!) she had been dating off and on and off and on one of my FI best friends and groomsman. After another fight between the 2 she announced she was backing out of the wedding. I was relieved and so was everyone else. My first choice for MOH understood the situation and glady stepped up to take her place. In the mean time my ex friend has been trying to get back into the group by dating other of my FI friends. She and the other groomsman did get back togother briefly last week and she made him call us to tell us so and that we should expect her involved in the wedding. I did not take the call. She called agin that night at 1am (drunk) and FI informed her that I did not want to talk to her...ever. Well that started a whole slew of nasty mean spirited email about how much of a Bit#$ I was, and how I am acting like I am Queen Bride, that I have no friends and that I must be desparate to have the people that I am in the wedding, and too much more to get into. That really hurt me because everything she said was so wrong. It just confirmed to me that she never was capable of being a good friend in the true sense of the word. So now she goes out, gets drunk and has strangers call me at all hours going from her teling me how horrible I am to how sorry she is. Not once has she attempted to contact me during daylight or sober hours. I guess the point I am trying to make (and getting all this off my chest) is that it does hurt when you feel as though you are being taken for granted and not respected as a person. The message boards are a hard place to work something like this out. None of us are there to hear the actual words. Only you know your history together, and only you can make your right choice for you. I am 35 years old and I really thought I was beyond all of the drama that has been happening. But at least I am wise enough to know that I can't keep enabling her so she can continue to manipulate people. I think I was the first person to hold her to her word. She is famous for saying nasty things and then turning around and saying she doesn't mean them. Well she said she wasn't in my wedding and I am holding her to that. So Froggy, I wish you well. It is so hard to have all the BS surronding YOUR happy day. But also remember that she is entitled to her own happy day too. I don't hate my former best friend. I just pray that she can find the peace she needs in her life. Good Luck!...See MoreDecisions, decisions...
Comments (48)I'm one of the hordes of people who can't start a new thread. As far as I can tell, Houzz couldn't possibly care less. I don't start a ton of threads so it's not a major issue for me - but I keep seeing reports scattered all over the forums that others can't start threads either. I don't like the cross posting, and I'm sure this is the end of GW. We've been assimilated into the Houzz format - and now that the "GardenWeb Discussions" link is blank I figure it's just a matter of time before the last traces of GW are eliminated. I am still really angry at the way they rolled this out, and I'm really unhappy with a moderator who shall remain nameless for helping/responding to some people and not others. I am only a very minor voice here though. I almost never post. Historically I used to read here almost every day, but since the upgrade I'm spending less time here. (I haven't been here in days.) So I'm not a fan of this new forum at all, but I will still happily follow the GW majority on this decision - and if the rest of you are comfortable here now, so be it....See Moremaire_cate
