How embarrassing What a dork I am!

16 years ago

Just heard a car horn outside....ran out to see who it was.Larry's BOSS! Here I am in my nightgown...uncombed hair...no teeth in...OMG! Why didn't I take the time to throw some clothes on??? I thought it was the mailman .....

Anyway he was delivering Christmas Presents...has never done this before.I feel like an idiot! LOL! Guess he's seen me in all my glory now...I hate unexpected guests! Let me know when you're coming and I'll clean up and put my teeth in! LOL!

I know a lot of people say not to water tomatoes from the top. Then I figured out the WHY of it. When you have unmulched tomato plants, the water from the hose splashes dirt onto the lower leaves, and diseases seem to start from there. (Actually, hard rain can probably do the same, but no one seems to notice that.) So, now I remove all the lower leaves from my tomato plants, and then I mulch them with a thick layer of straw. No dirt to splash, no lower leaves trailing in the dirt trying their best to get diseased. HAH! I'm smarter than a tomato! After all these years.... Sue

Coloredthumb .... Thank you so much ! I could picture you laughing & saying those things ..... and wagging your finger at me !! I really thought you were being "mother hen" ~~ LOL ( I just had to make sure ! ) MY emotions are wack-o now . I should never had doubted you . I'm sorry ! ((((( Colored Thumb )))))) When I took my written cancellation notice to the Post Office today ... The guy at the post office was being so sympathetic and wanting to help every way he can . He was a gem . He explained certified mail to me ... how it's legal ... he made every effort to make sure I knew everything . I Sent the letter - certified - return reciept requested. I have evidence that I sent it on time. I also called my bank .... I never knew customer service was open all day Sunday ! Ashamed - I again told my stoopid story .......and to my surprise .. the gentleman that took my call was so supportive . We stayed on the phone for about 10 minutes -- he assured me that I'm not the only one. He explained how scammers play on your emotions ... he was dead on . What a wonderful guy . He also suggested that since I gave them a personal check - ( that can't be cashed because of the stop payment ) they now have my bank account number and might decide to "get revenge" by stealing my identity. I should change the account number . I'll be doing that tomorrow. I'm just in awe of people that are really concerned - not laughing because I Was so stupid - but really are trying to help me. I love my little part of the world ..

How am I doing? What can I do better?
Q

you will be fine, 12 lb is perhaps a bit wasteful but not a lot. I have posted in the cornucop forum recently about this, because I am consistently able to grow large garlic. my routine is far simpler than yours, just raised beds, mulch with leaves (or wood chips if I can get them), and one shot of nitrogen in early spring. I have alkaline clay. I do not add P even though the original soil was nearly P-free (though some P may have gotten there when rotating potatoes into the bed). I do have wood in the beds to promote fungi and repeated mulching over the years has enriched the soil some. I grow about 300 plants per year, for 3 families plus some for friends and replanting.

What kind of fasteners am I dealing with and how do I remove them?
Q
Comments (8)
From the desperate folks do desperate deeds department: I wouldn't want to warrant that defeating those fasteners will allow you to lift the cabinet bottom, but if you think it will and want to try it, you might try cutting the panel around them with a slightly larger hole saw. Use a high quality one with a drill bit you can remove from the arbor. With the bit still in, cut a hole in a piece of 1x scrap stock. Fasten the scrap stock to the cabinet bottom over the area to be cut, using drywall screws or something similar (you'll have to patch the holes later). Remove the drill bit from the hole saw and have at it. The scrap will stabilize the hole saw so it won't run amok without its drill bit. How to re-secure the cabinet bottom later will be left as an exercise for the reader. :)

You ran outside?!?! I would have been hiding behind the curtains peeking out to see who it was. Next time you see him, just tell him that your crazy sister was visiting and you're sorry you weren't there to say "Hi" to him. lolol

Yes...I ran outside...told ya I'm a dork! LOL! I'm expecting a package from PA and when I heard the horn,I just thought "MAILMAN"! I don't think I'll do that again....oh who am I trying to kid...I'll probably do it again next time I hear a horn! LOL!
Last time he came here ....we had a party and my dog peed on the floor right in front of him...I bet he's real impressed with me! LOL! But he's pretty cool...he just laughs....at least I provide him with free entertainment!

This particular boss isn't "my" immediate boss.But I guess he is sorta my boss too,I have to answer to him for some things.Make sense? I work in the warehouse,Larry works in the plant...two different buildings.This wasn't the "BIG" boss...not the owner. I have lots of boss's...I'm one of the lowmen on the totem pole.
My immediate boss is a 25 yr old whippersnapper! LOL! He was staring at me the other day...I asked him if something was wrong...he said"You're crazy!" Hmmmmm! I didn't even do anything! LOL!

See? This is what happens when your mother doesn't teach you to hit the deck when someone comes to (or NEAR) the door! I can't remember the last time I opened the door to someone I wasn't expecting! Silly woman!

Sorry you got busted, CR! You are a nut, I know that's one of your many endearing qualities, that and being an animal lover. OK, that's 2 of 'em!

LOLOL You are one brave woman CR, that's all I know. He'd have had to beat my door down before I answered it if he came unexected like that. I'm getting worse about not being presentable very early in this, the twilight of my life. :) Glad you got rewarded with presents though. That's certainly a good reason to go to the door anytime. LOL

Hope your nighty wasn't see thru.LOL I answer the door in my nitegown but mine are flannel.BUT nobody ever sees me without my teeth,even DH.I take them out only when i get in the shower,and as soon as i get out,putting them back in is the first thing i do.Even when i have surgery i make the dr's promise me that someone will put them back in as soon as the surgery is over,and so far they always have.

My summer nitegowns are all cotton prints and not the ole lady type prints either.I sew so i make all mine and use pretty cottons and even put side pockets in them,so if i need to i can just slip on my bra and wear them as a dress.

As for my hair,when my feet hit the floor in the morning,i put on my glasses,run the brush thru my hair ,then go in the bathroom and do everything else.

Hope he brought you nice gifts,and didn't have his video camera going!! LOL,LOL

that isn't true,I didn't have any underwear on

Good save there Chubbo!
LOL
You have sealed yourself in this guy's brain forever.
He will NEVER forget your name or who you are.

My washer and dryer are on my back porch.
Many times I have been caught, naked, rummaging through the dryer for clean underwear as someone is walking up the deck.
Luckily I can still grow wings on my feet.
