If you believe in God or a Higher consciousness, please PRAY
Comments (12)Merci, Pug, Mike thanks so much. You all made me smile today. Merci, I've been doing quite a bit of praying lately, I'll add one more prayer and hopefully HE will hear. BTW, Belated Happy Birthday. When was the special day? It was very nice of your mom giving you such a beautiful plant. It's healthy, lush, and very green. Does your mom enjoy plants too? You mentioned a problem adding vinager? What happened? It's too bad you can't summer your new Gardenia outside. Those nasty mites are terrors. I thank God my plants have been bug free, well, all except one. A succulent called Tiger's Jaw. I spotted white gook a couple months back, cleaned w/rubbing alcohol, but those little sh*t's won..Mealy are the worse. Mersi, what have you used to rid mites? Do you use chemicals? My plants are showered, but never left in tub/sink filled with water for days..I do soak African Violets and a few other tropicals like Anthuriums, but after the top of soil is wet, plants are then air dried then placed in their spot. I've also learned, the hard way, soaking shouldn't be done at night, especially if chilly/cold. My new Gardenias, for the most part, died. I'm not saying I'm not to blame, (in part it's my fault) but when they arrived, after thorough inspection, leaves weren't in the best of health. Most had light brown, soft spots. Is anyone familiar with these spots? Could it be a fungus? If anyone here grows roses, and have dwelt with, think it's called brown or black spot, the gardenia leaves looked simiar to rose spots. Merci, I looked at the photo of your new gardenia, and she/he? looks very very healthy. You are so funny though..Don't fear your plant..I honestly think, like pets, plants sense our feelings. Did you ever hear stories about dogs who smell fear in someone, and even though the dog is gentle, will actually harass that person? This happened to my little sister at a picnic one time. Or ever see the Andy Griffith episode where Aunt Bea takes care of a baby. Everytime she lifts the child, the little girl screams. At the end, Opie fed the baby blueberry pie. Aunt Bea comes home and thinks the baby's face turned blue, isn't breathing. She swoops the child in her arms, calling for Andy to notify the town doctor. But this time, the baby doesn;t cry. The reason was because she sensed Aunt Bea was no longer afraid of her but for her. End of story. I'm sure everyone reading this is happy hearing about Aunt Bea. lol. But I really believe plants sense our moods. We show them who's boss, they'll respond with a 'beauty pageant.' Flowers and healthy leaves. As for sun, my tree gardenia lives out front facing mostly west, some south and north. It gets a lot of afternoon sun, 'when we have sun, surely not this year.' I set it out some time in April. Some nights were in the 30's, and a few 80F days. Thank the stars it's doing fine..no flowers, but I think the reason is, too much rain, no time to dry out, no fertilizer or Superthrive, but the foliage is find. It gave me a big scare when still inside. That's the reason it went outside. Anyway, HAPPY BIRTDAY.. Pug, I hope you're well too..and the pups. With spring, I bet your plants are beautiful. lots of flowers? How are your fruit trees doing? And Coffee tree. Citrus. etc, etc. Mike, it's always great hearing from you. How are your plants doing? Any new additions? If so, please post. And how are you coming along? I hope everyone is well, it's great talking to you guys again. I missed you all. But things happen, life isn't always a bowl of cherries, unfortunately. My husband had surgery last week, the same time I came down with stomach flu, not to mention my puter kicked the bucket. All in one week! Oh Butterfly, before I forget, how in the world did your plant fly out of a car window, on the highway????? That's so sad. And dangerous, too. Thankfully, no one was hurt, other than your plant..Wow! Take care everyone..hugs, luv ya all..Toni...Amen...See Moreplease pray for my Daddy
Comments (30)Well, thank you, Sally. My son looks like his father, but the other two look like Daddy and are tall like Daddy. Their goal was always to be as tall as grandad. Mary, his bride of 1 1/2 years, takes very good care of Daddy. Mary told me that she always thought it was "funny" when old people married. But then she met Daddy. Isn't that sweet?...See MoreMy AirBnB foray (because Gooster asked)
Comments (45)Jorge, I was mistaken. the Traveler commission rates on AirBnb are 6 - 12%, depending on the rent. The higher the rent, the lower the commission. I don't know what the break off points are, though. The owner pays 3%. So AirBnb is getting 9 - 15%, which is very hefty. Consider the taxes the owner is paying, the rent the traveler is paying, esp. on a vacation rental/resort area where rents are high, mortgages, repairs and maintenance..it's absurd. There's a lot of upheaval right now in that industry because these sites are really gouging homeowners and travelers. In addition, these rental sites are getting income from THOUSANDS, even hundreds of thousands of properties, while travelers are making ONE trip and homeowners are renting ONE property. from which they make their livelihoods. It is pure greed on the part of the rental sites. I do think that commission and PPB model will collapse at some point. In addtion, as an owner, one thing about the commission/PPB sites is that, when you get an inquiry, they practically have to book the property before you can have any meaningful vetting conversation (for both sides). These sites have software that prevents - quite strenuously - any ability to give the inquirer a phone # to call (and vice versa), an email address, etc., and the reason is they don't want you referring the traveler to another site where you also advertise your property but where the traveler wouldn't have to pay the commission, which homeowners actually want to do for their guests. My feeling is, if you have to disallow free communication, cause people to try to write in code (and even then, it fails) in order to keep customers from finding your competition, there is something wrong with your model....See MorePraying to Jesus. . .
Comments (18)Good morning Heather. I have thrown several plants in the trash due to sheer exasperation. Nothing I did seemed to help. Some plants just don't get started in life very well. They never seem to get healthy, just barely hanging around, susceptible to every and any issue. Yours may be one of those. I apologize if I came on to strong regarding your MG fert. Sure, it's whats in the big box stores and what a good many people use. I did too for about a year. I couldn't figure out why I was constantly dealing with small fires within individual plants. I researched AV's on the net and discovered that AV's can be kind of picky about food. How much is to much and how much is to little. I discovered that the MG peat that I was using had food in it. The MG perlite that I was using had food in it and then I was watering w MG fertilizer. Too much fertilizer will really do a number on a AV. With so many sources of unknown strength food coming from so many directions, I was unable to consistently dial in the amount the plants needed. My opinion of MG products will not change but a good many growers like yourself may well be able to use them successfully. I was not one of those. Within a week of buying the "Espoma Organic Violet" food and discontinuing use of ANY MG products, all my plants made a sigh of relief and everything was good. The Espoma is available in every box store. It is a fish emulsion product that is no more expensive than MG. I no longer use it but I did for years because it was the only thing I could find in my area. I was only trying to be helpful. Sometimes I go a bit overboard. Sorry....See Morebcskye
