Just Rambling again
Comments (9)The zinnias are still blooming their heads off along with LF's knockout rose. Just beautiful. The hostas have turned yellow and withered, along with the Amsonia. I am sad to know I won't see them next season. That Amsonia, the Thalictrum, a clematis 'Belle Woking' (I have only seen one bloom on it ever), and the sedums came from Shelbyville, three homes and as many counties ago. They won't move this time. The new cherry tree is happy in its new home and changed colors. The leaves are now falling off. The Euonymous and a crepe myrtle and red leafed. LF and I were headed off to work/school one day last week, when he said "What are these?!" And I said "What?" He said, "Bumps on my arms." "Um? Those are goose bumps." You're 10 and never had goose bumps? was my thought. Boy, I thought I lay off if being overprotective, but sheesh, it's obvious I haven't! It was about 50 degrees and inbetweenish weather. It's hard to figure out of one should wear layers and remove them or just change clothes. We've done both. Saturday morning he started out in jeans and a long sleeved sweater, but by midday he was in shorts and short sleeves, begging to sit outside on a deck for lunch. And comfortable both times. Shrug? The other day I decided I would replace one bad habit with one good habit. Instead of treating myself to dinner (money I don't have, eating calories I don't need), I would instead, work out, an aerobics, a disc I have used many times. I was winded 5 or so minutes into the warmup. Ugh. I told myself keep going, move what you can move. About 30 minutes into it, I realized my arms and legs weren't moving, just my hands and my knees. I was laughing so hard because I was realy really sure my arms and legs were moving and that I was doing well keeping up. My hands looked like a T-rex's, only inches from short bent stubs. I laughed so hard, I couldn't move any more. I just folded over and rolled around on the couch laughing at the way I must've looked. Laughing is good for exercising many things....See MoreCan I Use the 'S' Word?

Comments (4)I have been to Brasil many times, life is not easy there for the poor, unlike what this article seems to be stating. I have also been to several socialist countries and the average quality of life is much lower then what the poorest American would accept here. There's no such thing as a free ride, anywhere or anytime. "Peoples Restaurants," hmmm...where have I heard that equaltarian term before? I'll stick with free choice even if it costs me more then 50 cents a meal....See MoreSix months for a kitchen and a GC running out of $$
Comments (25)"The door jam either needs widening by 4 inches, or the door narrowed by 4 inches.....so I have an awesome carved door that no one wants to touch because it's someone else's work.)" Maybe, but the task of modifying and installing a custom door (it's not clear if they need to fabricate a jamb and mortise it and the door for hinges) is a high-risk/low reward proposition. Especially if you want folks to competitively bid the job. Experienced remodelers will tend to take a pass on that kind of job, which leaves you to choose from the pool of inexperienced ones, which shifts the risk to the homeowner. I'm not trying to offend anyone with my comment. Just sharing one contractor's perspective....See Moreglenda_al
