Last couple of days: hard at work!!
Comments (10)You know, I like purchased stone - real stone...I bought some Pennsylvania field stone a long time ago because it has a purple cast to it. I really love it in the front garden (mixed there with the concrete). However, FREE broken concrete is about $500 a few tons cheaper. And I need cheaper after the mess of this back yard and having to completely re-do it again. I love purple. Yes, I'm painting the rain barrels purple and am contemplating at some point painting the house next door similar colors to ours. I think I can manage most of it on my own. Then the rain barrels will really blend in. We only need them for "so" long, because eventually I want to use Rain Pillows that fit under crawlspaces in the house. So we'll have so much re-usable water, able to collect almost everything that comes onto the house in a storm and much of what runs onto the property in a good rain....See MoreHaving a hard day...sad story
Comments (20)denisew, I totally see your point. This turtle was h*ll-and-gone from the Benbrook Lake. I believe she was either from a body of water in the back woods along the freeway(not sure) or from one of the cattle stock tanks from along the same area(seems to be the most likely..that's what I saw the most of)Even then, the freeway isn't really on top of those areas. There's also how in heck she got past the retaining wall she fell off of.(She has chips in her shell where she landed on her back.) The back yard where she's been rehomed is around a couple acres built in an envelope(they saved the surrounding woods as much as possible for people's yards). Her new home looks like a house that sprung up in the middle of the woods. The lady who lives there added a shallow,good sized wildlife friendly pond and lots of plants. There are houses, with the woods in tact, all around her. She is free to come and go. I understand that other wild turtles have made this pond their home as well so she will be able to go back to pretty much being a wild turtle with them. Wouldn't want her to live out her life without Mr turtle! LOL!PJ Thank you Kristie :^) PJ...See MoreMedical Bill Advice?
Comments (11)I hope everyone had a great Christmas. I've been busy with family and finally had time to read everyone posts and can't tell you THANK YOU enough. I will re-read each word and then write down your ideas and go from there. I will speak to my hubbie about your suggestions and see where we go from here. I can tell you the hospital has worked with us some to reduce the bills but ONLY after they put a lien on my house. That is another long story - my Uncle called me several months after the accident to tell me the hospital had put a lien on my home. What they said is my insurance didn't pay them so I would be responsible for the WHOLE amount. YES.. that was their explanation. The hospital claimed the insurance never paid them. My insurance company said they never got a bill until Jan which was 6 months after. The insurance required the hospital to submit bills within 90 days. The hospital said they faxed the bills - but that the insurance refused to pay off of a faxed bill. My insurance company said they pay off of faxed bills all the time. The hospital then said they sent a bill via a certified postal letter with a requested receipt upon delivery but when the attorney asked for the copy of this and also requested copies from the post office there was NOT ANYTHING. The hospital brought their big attorneys from Houston and my little attorney took it to Federal Court (So as to get a fair trial and not have the Judges playing golf with the lawyers, etc) and it was settled very soon. It was a horrible mess. I never dreamed I could take on a huge hospital but it can be done. As one persom said "Life can change in an instant" I don't want to declare bankrupcy - just my personal feelings. That would be my last resort but at least it could be an option if all else fails. Our underinsured coverage was $50,000 which if given to a person in normal circumstances sounds like a lot of money but half went to medical bills, the rest bought a 3 year old Nissan and the rest started an IRA and my daughters college fund. If I had a do-over I would have taken that money and moved to a small Island and started over there.(Not really but it sounds good) Anyway, thank you again.

Comments (7)The slugs are horrible here with all this rain. I've even had some in the house at night around the cat food. Double Ick!......Jungle Queen is really nice. I think I sort of like the appliques or at least they are growing on me to the point I think about ordering one to see it in person. This is one of the prettiest ones I've seen with the dark outer color. The others are lovely too, but Jungle Queen is the one my eye keeps going to.............Maryl...See MoreTmnca
