That call girl thing
Comments (13)Quite frankly, Governor Sptizer was my hero, when as Attorney General, he cleaned out a lot of bad in the investment community. He wasn't done, when the politics bug bit him again and he became the Governor. This episode with a hooker has blasted away any hope that I had that there could be some honest poeple in the financial world, some of whom are handling my retirement funds. It has sickened me and reinforced my cynical side. It wasn't so much the tryist with a high priced call girl that bothered me, but it was the hurt and humiliation he caused his family, and the unfaithfulness to the wife. That was unforgiveable. And there is the question of where did the large amount of money come from to finance his foray? This dashes any respect I had for the man. Also, I have nothing but disdain for the woman who would knowingly harm a marriage with children. I do not know why he dragged his poor wife up to the podium while he made his public confession and apology. And I don't why she complied. You could see on her face abject sadness and horror. If she had refused to "stand behind her man" and stayed in the wings, I would have understood, as I suspect many other would have too. What drove the man to do this - who knows? He's a little late for the "7 year itch". His children must be mortified; How can they face their claas mates in school?...See MoreJust a girl kind of thing!
Comments (4)That does sound like a perfect day. Nourishment for the soul. Two friends and I have been meeting at least once a year since the 70's for just such a day and it's always wonderful....See More2018 Tomato Grow List
Comments (34)The Ag Experiment Station in Lubbock included Shady Lady in their tomato trials back in 2007. It was in the bottom 25% for total production and at the bottom for marketable production because of its relatively high %age of fruits with radial cracking. 2007 was an odd year, very cool and wet from March thru June and continued relatively cool but drier thru the remainder of the growing season. At LBB there were no days above 100F and only 62 days got above 85F during the whole growing season, compared to the normal 120-125 days above 85F. I grew one plant in 2010 with a locally grown plant from Ivey Gardens in LBB. It is a large red, round similar in fruit size and plant growth to Celebrity. Celebrity tasted better to me, though Shady Lady gets rave reviews for taste in California. It developed tomato spotted wilt virus pretty quickly and had a shorter production life than either Celebrity or Early Girl. I live in a hotspot for TSWV, in the country 35 miles out of LBB, and since 2010 I have grown only TSWV resistant hybrids. There are just two of us well past 65 and only water and labor for 12 plants and we grow tomatoes mostly for canning and freezing for winter use. Even the TSWV resistant hybrids with crack resistance and heat setting ability taste better than store bought tomatoes . Hope this helps and let us know where you are selling this year in :Lubbock....See MoreSingle Girl Needs Help w/ Weird Kitchen Layout in New Home Purchase
Comments (26)@ dan1888 Thank you for the feedback. I will keep that in mind. @ jck910 I need the space because I do expect to have grand-children in the next five years (son and DIL). Also, I work from home. Thus, a home office. is needed and I have a literal gym (pretty much anything you can find at a chain gym (Lifetime Fitness, 24 Hour Fitness, etc....), I have in various rooms now and in my garage. I couldn't find a home that could accommodate the exact space I wanted and the homes are skyrocketing here. When I say in my budget. I just meant the price of the home. Not counting the budget I have for making modifications. @ mama goose_gw zn6OH Great idea as well. Thank you for the image. Works better since I'm a visual person! @ herbflavor Yes. There are amenities. One it's a gated master planned community (pools, parks, biking trails, amenity center, splash pad, etc) in a fantastic part of town. It's also a Smart Home. I was specifically looking for a gated community. My original intention was to put my office in the "formal dining room" area. However, that is the location of my current home office and with Amazon Prime deliveries and barking dogs. I had to rethink. Hence, getting rid of the breakfast nook. I have never planned to have two tables in the home. I do like your suggestion. Since I personally have two contractors friends, I knew if I didn't find the exact house I wanted, I modify and ensured I had cash reserves. @Helen Very good feedback. Thank you. @bry911 Wow....more great ideas and feedback. @Chess-yeah that's me The idea was to put an island there instead of a breakfast nook. I don't feel I need it now. From the front door you actually see the formal dining because of the wall that separates the kitchen from the formal dining room. So if you were at the front door. To the immediate right is a 1.5' - 2' wall, where I could perhaps put a plant or something (don't know). Then you take about 2 - 3 steps and you see whatever is in the formal dining room. Once you take another 2 - 3 you can maybe seen the kitchen. But, because there is a column there, it isn't a clear sight line. @functionthenlook Your comments do resonate with me. @benjesbride And the great feedback keeps coming. Thank you so much! @Sophie Wheeler Couldn't agree more. Especially, if the "budget" didn't include modification money. I hope I didn't miss replying back to anyone. It was my first post and I didn't see a reply button with any of your post. This has been the most amazing feedback. Truly thought provoking, which is appreciated....See MoreKansas Farm Girl - Shell - South of KC
