white flies? Don't think so. Help please.
Comments (12)Yeah, I just don't know either. They said in 'slight' concentrations. And the zep is concentrated. So maybe it is actually 50 parts water to 1 part zep for one and perhaps 25 water to one part zep for another concentrate. 50/50 seems like a strong mix since the zep is quite concentrated to begin with. Oh shoot, I don't know, but I'm going to give it a try if/when the flies show up again. I'll start with a very diluted mix and take it from there. For now the "flies" are gone...again. I used some Safer Soap first and then washed all the leaves and stems with a weak solution of dish det. and water...then brought the plant inside. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the flies didn't come in with the EE. It looked very clean when I brought it in a couple days ago. So far, so good. No signs of the flies yet. Over the Summer I had used the insecticide and the Safer Soap but the darn flies would always return in a few days. Ah well, time will tell. :) Thanks for your responses, John.

Comments (57)Patti's got it right. I started to post something similar last night. I, personally, don't need the cutesy greetings. All I really expect is a smile and a "Hi" or "Welcome" when the waiter/waitress comes by. I don't expect one to sit down in the booth, either, to take my order (this has happened twice before, once at a N.C. steakhouse and once somewhere other than in the South). I have no idea which restaurant-training manual would encourage that! First, some people -- like me -- really don't care for Ma'am -- altho it is meant as a form of respect, it certainly is a reflection of a person's age. I don't look old enough to be called by it, and I'd much prefer 'Miss.' But as I wrote before, I let it pass. For the other cutesy names, if they bothered me enough, I would certainly find a polite way to make sure that the waiter/waitress knows that's gonna rub some customers the wrong way -- I'd find a joking way, probably. Second, there was no intent on Glenda's part to embarrass the waitress, as at least one poster says -- we all read that she was polite about it, she was not nasty. Third, why is it that when anybody wants to vent about something, no matter how big or how minor some people might think it is, other posters treat it like the biggest crime in the world that those folks should be upset or frustrated or offended? How much longer are folks going to come down on others for concerns that just might not rise to their level of importance?...See MorePenny - You don't know me, but please help
Comments (5)When I left the house, on that fateful day, I thought I'd be right back, that I would be okay. You would have stopped me, if we would had only known, That this would be the last time, that I would leave our home. We never had the time, to really say goodbye, But, I see your love there for me in each tear that you cry. Although I was taken, God spared (her daughter's name) for you. He knew that you would need her, as much as she needed you. As my life slipped away, like tiny grains of sand. Fear not that I was alone, for it was Mike who held hand. I know you would give anything to take my place if you could. You thought you'd go first, like most parents should. But know I walk beside you, with each step that you make, The gentle breezes are my kisses, my love they couldn't take. When you feel you can't go on, another day you cannot wake. Remember you must, if only for (her daughter's name) sake. For she is a part of me, and she needs me too, My love for her is stong, as is my love for you. Try to dry those tears, that flow so freely from your eyes, We are still here together, I never said goodbye. Don't know if this is right, but it was all I could do, this subject is pretty hard for me since my son was killed in a crash too. Love Penny...See MoreDo you go out looking like crap and don't care?
Comments (27)Count me in with Bronwynsmom. I take it from my grandmother. She always got up and dressed, touched up her hair, etc. Said it helped her face the day. I of course have play clothess, etc. and I work in the yard, outside a good bit. Doesn't mean I run out anywhere in those clothes though. I'm usually a sweaty mess after yardwork. On days at home, I'm very casual (yoga pants, etc. alot, shorts and tanks in summer), but not hole-y, ripped up clothing unless doing something really nasty or heavy duty yard work. I don't wear alot of make-up at any time, but if I'm going out, I'll put on a touch. I have a wash and go hair style, so it's very easy and quick to do my hair. I'm not a fan of sweats as they are not attractive on most and we don't get cold enough that often for sweats around here. There are some cuter, updated, less bulky sweat pants, cardigans, etc. out now. I feel better if I've made an effort with my appearance. It never fails if I go out looking not so hot, that's when I'll run into the most people. Bronwynsmom, it's very private here and I'm often out back in my nighties, so I get the t-shirt and undies. Your story cracked me up!! tina...See More- 7 years ago
