Is this the dreaded Mosiac Virus?
Comments (13)Hi Donna , in my heyday of Orchids and Hippies i had cause to study plant viruses ,and your precious plants do NOT have Mosaic virus ,Virusses seldom cut across the leaf veins of any plant ( technically never ) and if you look close at some of the markings on your leaves ? they actually do go across the leaf veins ,large sapsucking insects etc like grass hoppers can spread viruses from plant to plant ,but thrips ,aphids have mouth parts that are to small ,however if you had a large infestation then yes it could be a problem ,viruses get in to plants thru a wound or damage on the plant ,you can spread it that way if you have the sap of an infected plant on your hands and then damage a leaf or so ,in general its not that easy to infect plants ( Cymbidium orchids are the exception ) viruses "trick " the healthy plant cells into replicating the virus itself ,thats how the spread thru the plant so rapidly , never compost any virus affected plants , all the compost will be affected to a degree ,it takes a huge amount of heat to kill a virus ,anyway your plants are Ok , i trust this helps .

Comments (30)There are many excellent progressives for narrow frames but all progressives have some areas of distortion. What lens works best depends on the prescription and personal preference. For people who are really sensitive there are free form progressives but these are more expensive. Not everyone will even see a difference. One of the most important things with progressives is that they are fit correctly. If they are off even a little they don't work well. What progressive are you wearing now, do you know? For sensitive people in small frames the Definity Short is good and it has one of the best intermediate areas. The reading area is good but some progressives have bigger. My newest glasses are Varilux Physio Short. All the areas are good. The reading is slightly higher and bigger then the Definity Short but the intermediate is slightly smaller. But what I like won't be necessarly what you like. Transition is only one brand of changeable lenses. There is also Sunsenser and Colormatic but Transition is the most common and popular. They come in brown and gray. Gray is about 2% darker. For a lot of people standard Transition lenses are enough and they are handy. In overcast weather they darken less so they are still very comfortable. All changeable lenses darkern more in cold weather then in hot weather. There is a new Transition called Extra Active Transition that will change moderately in a car and gets darker outside but it does have a light tint inside (regular Transition is clear inside)and it takes longer to lighten up when you come inside. Personally, I don't find regular Transition lenses are dark enough for me, especially in a smaller frame. But if you don't want to get sunglasses it certainly will be better then clear lenses. I really prefer a sunglass lens. My favorite is Drivewear which is a polarized Transition type lens. It changes from light brown to a deeper brown.So on overcast days they cut the glare and are extremely comfortable. On very bright days they get very dark. Regular polarized are great, too but aren't quite as versatile. The best AR has improved hugely in 15 years. If your tear ducts spray spots on them they will get dirty like any lens will but they clean extremely easily and actually repel dirt and dust. Comparing Crizal Avance with Scotchquard to ordinary AR is like comparing a Ford Pinto to a new Lexus.There's a web site if you want to read more about it. I'm sorry this has gotten so long. :^) One of the best places to find out what is best for you is to find an experienced optician that will work with you and knows your personal needs and concerns....See MoreEstimators came...and I am DREADING this.

Comments (18)SJ McCarthy, I had decided to do the floors in 3 stages, and I really wanted the room upstairs and steps down to the kitchen, done first - just to keep me sane. :-) So that is all I have done thus far. I had 4 quotes on the carpet, and this company was actually the highest quote. I was disappointed in that but kind of expected it as they have an excellent reputation. So, due to my budget, I had decided to go with a less-expensive quote. But before I had scheduled, this company's estimator emailed me and asked me to let her know if I got lower estimates and she would see if they could match it. Not expecting much, I gave her the amount of the next-highest quote, which was $700 less. She asked for and I sent her a copy of the quote, with all the company identifying information blanked out. And within 10 minutes, they beat that quote by $1. I was completely surprised! I had researched the price of this carpet (it wasn't inexpensive) and knew that was where they were coming in high - their labor prices were not off much from my previous quotes. And that is where they dropped their price - materials cost. So I learned a valuable lesson as well as FINALLY getting my new carpet in. My kitchen floor will definitely be Armstrong Vivero glue-down, and the company I am going with is actually the only Armstrong-certified dealer in the area. I was just more comfortable with that. I won't be scheduling that until after June though. I have a trip to Greece in a few weeks, just today put my car in the shop for some very expensive, unexpected repairs, and a few other large unplanned expenditures that has sidetracked my budget for a bit. The wood flooring in the dining and living room - weeeeelll.. I am TRYING my best to not spend a freaking fortune, but I have looked until I am blue in the face and found nothing I love locally (I have mentioned that I am picky, right?), but I DO love this: https://craftfloor.com/product/savona/ It's double what I had wanted/planned to spend, it's a direct order, but it's gorgeous, and it's exactly the look/color/finish/tone of floor I wanted. The company has been very generous and has sent many large samples. The only thing that gives me pause is finding a local installer that I can trust. So it will be a while before I get the rest done. I have no reason to hurry, so I am okay that it will be a bit longer of a wait. :-)...See MoreWho do you buy your eye glasses from online?
Comments (23)It's not just the distance between pupils that needs to be measured for prescription glasses but for progressive lenses, where on the lens to begin the transition to close vision. That depends on the specific frame being used, how and where the lens sits relative to your eyes, and how high or low the wearer wants the vision correction of the upper part of the lens to end. I tend to like it lower and I've twice had to get lenses redone when the optician ignored my request and made that point much too high for my preference. Something else to keep in mind with progressive lenses is what's called "the geometry" the equipment produces for the intermediate and near vision section of the lens. The geometry varies from one lens equipment brand to another, most have several, and most come out with new and improved features frequently. The geometry affects the width of the field of view, the nature of the transition, and the degree of vision correction possible and where. I got new glasses a year ago at an upmarket eyeglasses place and the optician selected which lab to use based upon the answer to my questions about how I use my glasses and what I normally am looking at up close. He told me that the type he selected was a new "geometry" offered by one of the equipment companies that one lab had available and that I would like it even better than the ones I had before. He was right, it made a big difference. I would be concerned about the lack of choice and the quality of the geometries used for cheap eyeglasses....See Moreravencajun Zone 8b TX
