Wish me luck - transplanted a 6-7 year old Golden Nugget
Comments (4)Good luck, Serge. Let us know how your tree fares. Once you start seeing recovery (beginnings of new flush), you can safely fertilize. Just be sure to water first, fertilize, then water in well....See MoreWish me luck ...
Comments (53)Prostate is three times normal size, on original visit cancer doc couldn't reach the far end of it with his finger, which I think he found a bit unusual. So they say that those beads? pearls? of radioactive stuff aren't useful in such a situation: a problem of too large proportions, it seems. Some time ago some guys were complaining about being unenthused about the doc sticking his/(her?) finger up their rear end ... ... and I said that they thought that they had a problem ... how would they like to be the doc? They hadn't thought of that! Sometimes helpful to put yourself into someone else's shoes (rubber gloves?). Hypothetically, that is. I wondered about telling this story here this afternoon, as I didn't want to appear to be dragging this message back to the top, unnecessarily ... ... but there were some issues to deal with, apart from that ... ... so here's the story. As I was taking son home from the cancer centre to his place, as we approached a signal light on the main street in our city, going with the green, a slim young lady stepped off of the curb on the left on the far side, texting as she walked. I slowed some, but as she approached the middle of the street, she stopped ... ... then, as we were closer, began walking again ... ... and I was on the brakes. Then she decided that it would be a good idea to stop. Don't know whether she saw us ... or heard my leaky/noisy muffler, too close for comfort. I'll have to tell the garage, where they told me last year that the muffler wasn't in good shape ... but that I didn't need to worry about it asphyxiating me. Maybe it helped a young lady avoid a skinned shin? (There's a $400.00 fine, recently imposed, for distracted driving: they say that it's causing more fatalities than the drunks, lately). Maybe I should have pulled over and gone back to ask her whether she knew how to get tire tracks across her legs? ole joyfuelled...See MorePlease, wish me luck my friends. My way of rooting.
Comments (9)Your method may very well work for you if you have naturally-high humidity. If your humidity plummets, then all bets are off, unless you cover them with an air-tight plastic covering or clear to transluscent container. I just keep a clear plastic storage container partially under a tree for the summer. It is filled with a couple inches of 1/2 perlite and 1/2 potting soil. As I find things to root, in they go into the container. It's protected from bugs and critters, maintains really high humidity and stays warm. I've had success rooting citrus, bougainvillea, holly, and many other things that can be tricky or take a long time. I do use hormone too. But mainly the optimal rooting environment has light, is warm, protected from bugs and critters, fairly free of fungus, and very humid....See MoreWish Me Luck
Comments (26)Thanks for the confidence. I am going to sit down and do it tomorrow. I got a call last night and was told that people from across Ontario who have taken it are complaining about the contents of the test. Some of the questions are about computer programmes none of us use. It just reminds me of the testing I did for a temp employment firm I did after my Mom passed away and I had to find a full time job. After the testing I was told I did not have any marketable skills for an office job which I had done for all the time I had ever been employed because I didn't pass some of the computer programme questions. I taught myself to learn DOS and at the time wasn't familiar with Windows, etc. They gave me a job giving out samples of sushi at Sobeys. I did that for a few months before I got my job at the bank. After the test I told the girl of all the accomplishments I had done during my working career and you sit here and tell me I have no marketable skills. She was doing recruitment for jobs. I said to her "you try recruiting 700 workers in less than 30 days" and see if you can do it. Or send out telexes for all the banks of the branch I worked for in Calgary during a mail strike, or write grants to apply to keep programmes open. People giving these tests have no idea what the jobs entail....See Morewoodnative
