Wondering why forum is so phlegmatic lately.
Comments (23)Pete has actually flattered everybody with his use of old meaning of phlegmatic, not the modern perversity associated with sputum ... taken verbatim from the Seer contributor from Cannery Row (also known as Wikepedia) ... do love the oxymoron of "relationship-oriented introvert", one of my sons is like that ... dad's just a hermit. "When the concept of the temperaments was on the wane, many critics dropped the phlegmatic, or defined it purely negatively as the absence of temperament. This, however, made it available for the German philosopher Immanuel Kant to reclaim as the temperament appropriate to freedom and virtue. In the Five Temperaments theory, the classical Phlegmatic temperament is in fact deemed to be a neutral temperament, whereas the "relationship-oriented introvert" position traditionally held by the Phlegmatic is declared to be a new "fifth temperament."...See MoreWhy is this forum so dead.
Comments (2)I have noticed the same thing about this forum being "slow" to put it politely. Part of the reason of course, is because it's the dead of winter--that didn't stop me from fertilzing and liming the lawn a couple of weeks ago. If you think this one is slow, you should see the Metro NYC one! Ironic thing is that this IS the Garden State and even in NYC , many, many home owners take great pride in their often small, but beautiful yards, roof-top gardens, balconies or secret garden patios. I blame the busy, hectic pace of life in the area--we must work longer and harder than anywhere else in the country if not on the planet. I also think we probably live in one of the best areas of the US for gardening. We usually have tons of precip and plants from both more northerly and more southerly zones can coexist. So, we can grow northern conifers and southern palms and the potential gardening choices are enormous! People here though seem overwhelmed by life and don't know how to enjoy it. P.S.:Nice palms, Steve, I have a large collection of palms myself--both hardy and tropicals ....See MoreWhy is this forum so slow? Marion where are you?
Comments (3)well i'm here, i check everyday and haven't seen many posting either, i thought to myself, maybe these people don't like me and they don't want me to post. it is cold here still in northern canada, the buds are just coming out on the trees. i was going to have a get to gether for Al last year in our backyard, we have this massive apple tree that was his pride and joy, do you know that there wasn't one apply on that tree, it was like the tree knew Al wasn't there, so we didn't have the memorial service. i am still going through the house -- i guess spring cleaning, and donating things. i still am not sleeping well atr night and read till about 3 or 4 in the morning so i sleep until 3-4 in the afternoon, so my schedule is not there anymore. i think i might still be playing catchup, Al was an early riser and me being his caregiver, i think took alot out of me. my car broke down on may 23, our son's 25th birthday, so i ended up getting a new starter, good thing it was still under warranty, but it still almost cost 100.00. to top it off, when the tow truck took my car to the garage, and i phoned to see if it was ready, they couldn't find my car (lol-it's a neon i was hoping someone stole it, but no luck). i got my hair cut and coloured, too feel more human, and i am making myself put on makeup everyday. i have even started knitting again, but i am still so lost. enjoy the day, i'm going to tend to my pernnials that have been neglected for afew years. debbie...See Moreso upsetting..privacy issue...am I crazy?
Comments (31)You can always try what one of my mother's coworkers did - she was divorced and wanted to feel more secure, but had kids so was concerned that if she had a gun an accident would happen. So she compromised and got a shotgun/rifle/whatever with one of those bolt-actions (do they have shotguns with bolt actions?). Anyway, whatever it was, it was the kind of gun that makes that distinctive click-clunk sound, but she didn't ever get shells/bullets for it. If she thought she heard a noise she'd click-clunk the gun, figuring that if it was a potential intruder she'd heard they weren't going to stick around to find out whether it was really loaded or not. Obviously I am not au courant on my firearms. The only kind of guns I've really ever shot much are flintlock rifles; they're really fun to shoot at the range but wouldn't be very practical for home protection. "Hey, can you hold on a couple minutes while I load this thing? Damn, the powder was damp, wait a minute.... oh crap, now I've got to turn the flint because it's not sparking... Hey, come back with my TV!" :)...See MoreBumblebeez SC Zone 7
