OT Geez can we stop this now please....
Comments (11)Barb, I dont want you to think I am coming off mean or anything. I just wanted to say that this whole thing wasnt about anyone's "specialty" or anything having to so with plants at all. It's about respect and kindness. It was the sheer fact that she told a child that he may as well be dead..the world is a better place without him..basically that is what she said. That is what 'thinning the gene pool' is. It may be OK to talk that way about plants, but NOT a human life, especially not a child. I apologize to anyone who may have been bothered by anything I said, I am sorry that this had to happen. But..has she apologized to Staticx? hmmm...no, she just disappeared. I just want you all to think about this: if she had said that to YOU..how would you feel? Would you want someone sticking up for you..wouldn't you want someone to say something? I know I'd feel better if someone was on my side backing me up if it had been me. I can't stand by and ignore that kind of thing. NOW, that is all I will say about this..it is over. She had the post removed I suppose since it isnt here any longer. Now we will all move on. Every family has its spats, and as we all know, our group is like a family and I am SOOOO glad to be a part of it, but when someone gets out of line, they need to be straightened out. No one needs to walk on eggshells..there are no loose cannons here. Respect is all that is asked, and it shouldnt have to be asked for..agreed? OK so... Lets all move on and be happy. :) Spring is right around the corner and we have babies and plans and nice things to discuss!...See MoreWho can stop with just one?
Comments (15)Yes I agree. The WC may have only had two eyes up, but there are another 3 ready to go. I try not to be present when mine get delivered. I was outside potting on a 80 plus degree day a couple weeks ago when the mailman pulled in the drive and got my box full of liners out of his trunk and proceeded to throw the box over his shoulder with the arrow saying "this end up live plants" pointing at the ground. I have also heard the UPS guy toss boxes of plants onto the porch with a loud thud! Luckily I haven't had any damaged plants, yet...See Moreflexible pvc pipe. ugh....please comment if you can
Comments (9)banana fanna, I quit using flex 20 years ago. It tends to grow in warm conditions(spa plumbing) and contract in cold conditions. This movement creates problems if the pipe is near the steel or shell of the pool because it can rub and cause leaks. When buried directly in the ground it can expand against small bits of rock or concrete that might get dumped in the trench with it. It's more expensive than sch 40 hard pipe but it may save some fittings and the argument may be that it creates more efficient water flow. My personal experience is that flex pipe is vulnerable to leakage if it happens to be stacked incorrectly between manufacture and installation. It's not recommended for above ground use because it can grow to 2-3 times its natural diameter in hot summer temperatures. I'm in an area where summer temps can reach 105-110 degrees on occasion. If your PB insists on using flex underground, then you need to insist that it be placed in sand bed and shaded with sand. And further, that it never penetrates the shell or any other concrete. Good luck....See MoreUgh! Just lost half my desserts!
Comments (6)My husband and son spent $31 at the store - ice cream and 3 cakes. I had made 3 pies. The good news is that every single dessert was cut or scooped into, making people very happy. Or until, as Fran mentioned, they stepped onto the scale the next morning. Dinner went well, lots of leftovers. And the dessert evening went very well also. My older son and his girlfriend were part of the evening visitors. Last year they spent the day with us, the whole thing. They didn't leave to also try to see any of her family. So I knew a year ago that this year they would spend the day with her family. I was very pleased that they did share some of their time with us because I hadn't asked them to. I don't want to be a pill!...See More
