Did I just kill my tomato plant while transplanting? Newbie here
Comments (6)Tomatoes are virtually impossible to kill once they're going. Seriously, as long as you've got a couple inches of green, you can regrow the entire plant. If its got any roots left at all, it'll be fine in a few weeks. Last year I had a windstorm that knocked one of my container tomatoes over, rolled it around, snapped half the thing in two. I just stuck the broken limbs in some dirt in a bucket, and not only did the limbs survive, they went on to bear fruit the same year. Heck, several of the limbs had tomatoes still on them and not only did they survive, not only did the tomatoes not wither up on them, but they were even GOOD tasting tomatoes at the end. Basically, nothing short of weed killer or ripping it up by the roots and tossing it on hot asphalt will kill a tomato plant....See MoreLowe's says Frigidaire stackable separates won't work in closet
Comments (8)Lowe's installers are lazy and incompetent based on my experience. We bought the same washer/dryer set-up. Not only were their installers 1 1/2 hours late, they left garbage on our floor, kept the front door wide open when going to their van to get tools several times, NEVER adjusted the washer's adjustable legs - so it was so uneven that the whole contraption shook like crazy when used, they left a HUGE gap where the dryer duct vents to the outside - lint and hot air flew all over my utility room when we tried the dryer! They told me I needed to buy and install a clamp on a drain tube b/c they didn't have the clamp... I complained to Lowes the next day and they arranged for them to call me and set up a time to fix the mess. Still waiting for the call... Moral of the story: I bet you can put it fine in that closet - these guys are just too lazy or honestly don't know what they are doing. Good luck and I'm sorry to hear you had problems too!...See MoreWon't post for a while...
Comments (10)It seems my subscription "grace period" is not up yet, so I can post and thank you all for your wishes... A couple weeks ago I had some blood so I had to stay in bed for a few days (5). Mom happened to be here at that time so she came 3 mornings to keep me company and also cooked for us, went to the supermarket and did a bit of ironing. Then, over the weekend, DH took over and cleaned the house on Saturday and on Sunday he cooked and washed all the dishes by hand (a full dishwasher and a full sink), because our dishwasher suddenly quit working... poor guy! He was very nice about it too. I was giving detailed directions to both. That was a completely new experience for me and kind of hard. Thankfully all is well now and I just try not to tire myself and take great care not to lift and carry weight, bend over, stand or walk too much - until three months - which is not always easy, but I definately don't want to have to stay in bed again! (On a side note, the repair people haven't come to pick up the dishwasher yet, a whole week later - I do most of the dishwashing: DH just uses too much water!) Ok, bye again and I'll definately be back! I've been around quite a few years and this forum is the best: great inspiration and encouragement, great ideas and advice and, I believe, real care and friendship. Many thanks!

Comments (29)Like several others, I didn't download the plug-in. If you think it'd appeal to other grad students with a family, why don't you market to them directly. Take out an ad in the student newspaper and post some flyers in the lounges and student center. If I remember correctly, this is the time of year when all of the students are hustling and bustling to upgrade to new housing anyway. Make them want it. List any amenities such as close to campus or whatever is relevant for this school. This may cost you a little extra out of pocket, but it could be worth it....See Morewisconsitom
