I have a chrysalis - what do I do now?
Comments (6)The reason I am concerned about getting the milkweed out of the container is because it is a nice sprig of currassavica that was tightly inserted into a sealed water container. This caterpillar pupating took me by surprise - I thought he was undergoing his final moult - so I didn't want to bother him when he was hanging from the top. So there is also frass in there. I don't want things to get moldy or infected. I think I will do as you suggested - very carefully remove the band and lift the chrysalis attached to the mesh, and place it over another disinfected container and secure it with a flat elastic band, which is easier to control than just a rubber one. I have a pretty delicate touch and will likely be successful - I guess I am just nervous, doing this for the first time. Thanks so much for your advice!!...See MoreI have this plant, now what do I do?
Comments (33)Finally got most of my fling finds planted tonight, including replacement broccoli (aka Dawn's urban north broccoli outpost), garlic and several ornamentals. Also my pepper seedlings went in the ground tonight, too. Still have a few fling heirloom tomatoes but need to add compost and manure to the new spot for them. I have something I was unable to identify. There were three black square qt(?) sized pots, and I believe they were labeled on the table underneath but don't remember the name. I recall they were some sort of shade item, green strappy leaves, maybe with lily in the name? I am having a hard time figuring them out, but picked them out thinking "Ah! Perfect spot under the elm tree for them." Now if I only knew what they were... If that sounds familiar to anyone, it'd save me from dragging the camera out. Thanks!...See MoreI'm soooooooo confused now more than ever now what do I do
Comments (12)Thank you all for your support it means the world to me. I've always been the type to beat myself up for not knowing how to do the things just right. It would not be so bad if dad's mind wasn't clear as a bell right now. His abuse of his medicine is a real concern for me. I got a call from him today saying he needs his antibiotic for his sinus, well he'll only take one or two and he says it cures his sinus. You and I know this isn't so and even if it does help it's short term, taking the antibiotics like that can cause harm but no one can get this through to my dad. I have had so many problems with doctors in my past that I don't trust them easily. It was me that saved my husband from a possible stroke, his blood pressure was high and I could tell when it was up but with the sleep apne he had to take showed how bad it was. They could not get it down all night so I marched into our dr.'s and told them about this and they looked back at his chart and seen that it was high everytime he went in for a check up. Now why don't they pay more attention to this? This is why I fear looking for yet another doctor. I have no luck with them. Only once did I have a wonderful doctor and within a year my insurance changed and he didn't take it :( He was the one that listen to me about my weight and took test finding that my thyroid was bad. I went through years with a sore throat and my throat closing up at night in my sleep, waking up unable to breath for 10 or so seconds but felt longer and didn't know if I'd get my breath. If it's wasn't for y'all I don't know if I'd be able to be strong for my dad. I never knew it could be so hard. I look at pictures of my grandparents, dads parents and talk to them and wishing they were here. They had a hard life and I can just image that they went through just what I am now. They took care of my great grandmother for 17 years then told my grandmothers brother it was time for him to care for his mother and give them a break. Great grandmother was called little granny and I never seen pictures of her but heard great stories about her, I found a picture of her the other day and I'm so happy to finally seen her, she past away a few years before I was born. Sorry for being long winded. Barbara...See MoreI honestly believe I was cursed
Comments (11)Oh my gosh, I'm soooo sore. I was working on pure adrenaline, and I ran over to him, then I was apparently kneeling down next to him...under 'normal' circumstances, due to my really bad knee, running and kneeling are not part of my daily routine. I think I am pretty good under pressure, and I guess I'm just a 'take action' kind of gal. Maybe that is the reason I live this interesting life? All I know is that I kept thinking of the time I was badly hurt in a car accident and how scared I was. I was worried about my husband and kids, and I didn't know what was wrong with me, how badly I was hurt, would I live, etc...and I just knew I couldn't live with myself if I stood around while that poor man laid in the street. I took a first aid course over 15 years ago, but I don't remember the protocols. I guess this is one of my talents I didn't list before...I'm a cool cucumber and a take charge person under extreme circumstances, but then I break down when it's all over. I just don't know how my brother did it for all the years he was an EMT. I'm going to check in with the hospital, I don't know his last name, and I'm sure I won't be told who he is, but at least I can leave a message to tell him I hope he's going to be ok. And I hope that my actions will inspire others who were standing around to 'pay it forward' so to speak....See Morededtired
