Comments (4)Hey Mike, I have seen this before on my mom's Ponderosa lemon tree that I bought for her years ago. Even though she almost killed it by letting it drown, it is now finally recovering. I had to hack it and now it has TONS of new growth. Your citrus are always so beautifull!! It's kind of funny to me to see that what you can do with your citrus is what I can do with my plumeria!! I have to say though that my replacement Oro Blanco is looking pretty nice for being indoors for the winter and my Keylime is growing uncontrollably. I just hope I can get some good blooms off of it!! I don't get it but hopefully this will be a better year for it. I only have one fruit one it right now and it doesn't seem to be growing any. I found that if I don't hand pollinate it, no fruits. This is my least favorite citrus. My poor meyer doesn't seem to like the HPS light but I hock it up to having to be so close to the light itself. I am going to have to figure something else out for it next year. Andrew...See MoreHas this ever happened to you? - BWB
Comments (2)I've had some weep (the blueberry-black currant from the bottled juice) after they set up, esp. after opening and putting in the fridge. Some rings seem to loosen in the canner or maybe when I was lifting them out, but this is the first time I've *ever* had one come off! The liquid on top was very clear and the grape jelly was set, the clear liquid on the sealed jars pretty much totally filled the headspace which is why I'm thinking it was water? Then again this batch was more grapes, fewer apples, and the apples were really tart. I'm going to have to see if the others are weeping - wouldn't there be some in all of them if that was it?...See MoreHas This Ever Happened to You?
Comments (16)One time in my younger days, I was walking down the sidewalk and was passing a parked car. In that car was a young couple and a prattling baby. The man was in the driver's seat and the young woman was holding the child with her window open. Just as I pass by, the baby looking out the side window, brightens, and loudly coos, "Daddy, Daddy" in my direction. I was embarrased and kept walking, but I couldn't help notice the man looking at his wife, and then at me. These people were complete stangers to me, and I never learned what the outcome was - It could have been interesting....See MoreHas this ever happened to you???
Comments (20)One of my daughters also has occasional sleep paralysis. She's about the same age as I, when I first experienced it, and of course I knew what was happening when she was making a low keening sound after falling asleep on the couch. All I have to do is touch her to break the cycle. I remember bringing myself out of the paralysis by wiggling my fingers. OT, but closely related, is the opposite phenomenon, REM sleep behavior disorder, where one is asleep, but able to move and act out dreams. Again, something goes wrong with the body's ability to sync the sleep/wake cycle, and RBD is even more frightening. My late aunt had RBD, and would be terrified of her dreams, and even more terrified and confused when she awoke in her kitchen or on her front porch, in the middle of the night. She eventually developed Lewy Body dementia, and I've read that although not everyone who has RBD develops Lewy Body dementia, the majority of LBD sufferers have the sleep disorder. I apologize for going off on a tangent, but with LBD now being cited as the second most common form of dementia (behind Alzheimer's), everyone should be aware of the connection. One of my brothers has been a 'sleepwalker', so I am especially concerned for him. **Edited to add: In the link below, click on the links in the left column, for more info on specifics.
