When you buy new plants, do you stick with what you know
Comments (31)I'm another one with a "strict limit" though right now I'm over it thanks to divisions this summer. The target is 60 but I rationalize that if it's small it doesn't count as a whole plant! I think I'll always love the catts best, but I want to have some other things going. Four years ago I started with phrags from a gift plant, and now I have three; I was very picky becuase they are so big. Two years ago I added a bulbophyllum, then three more; the last one was one too many, though it's been blooming. I've gotten better at the research part, so I have fewer of those big disappointments, and that makes it easier to branch out in a planned way. Last year it was a psychopsis; the jury is still out on that. Like Kevin I've learned to stay away from the cool growers however beautiful (that includes Chinese cyms, my most recent big disapointment). I'm a windowsill grower and it's warm year round except for a few tricky weeks in the fall. At the same time I've refined my cattleya collection to focus on the ones that I really love and get rid of the so-so. Some things change, some things stay the same--that's what works for me.

Comments (7)On another website I visit we were asked to list our intentions. So, in keeping with the seven dimensions of wellness, these are the things I am working on: Social - reconnect with people by making a phone call or sending a letter each day. I'm an extreme introvert so while for some this might sound simple, for me it will be a challenge as I could easily spend a week or more alone and be perfectly content. Emotional - relax more, fear less, and remember that life is short and happiness is a decision. Spiritual - read from the Bible before I turn on the TV for the day - whether a verse or a chapter, commit to reading. Environmental - monitor my footprint and recycle as available. We have limited recycling facilities in our rural area so this may be more of an awareness process this year. Occupational - create templates for training or guidelines on administrative chores so that eventually someone can take over my job responsibilities so I can someday phase out. Also, hire someone to do the incidental chores that I no longer have the time or desire to do Intellectual - 1) take at least one professional type class in Excel or Quickbooks or other subject to stimulate the thought process. 2) Read at least a book a month. I'm a slow reader who struggles to focus, so this will definitely be a challenge. I generally buy the books but never get them read. Physical - commit to continuing my 5K run at least 4 times per week and doing weightlifting or other physical activity on the other days....See MoreWhat do you want to see in your dentist's office?
Comments (31)I just want to pop back in and say thanks for all the ideas. Love the purse hook idea especially, because there is definitely space for that! The others...like TVs and fish tank...there's just no space. The waiting room is small -- basically a square about 10'x10' with 6-7 chairs and a bookcase. All windows on one side and a reception desk on the other, so no logical spot for a TV or fish tank. I like the idea of mobiles on the ceiling in the treatment area, will look into that! The dr. has a large collection of art/prints all by the same artist that he wants to use, so they will be hung throughout the space. There is one wall next to the open doorway to the treatment rooms -- it is about 3' wide and the wall perpendicular to it (to your right as you enter the treatment room) is about 4' wide. So it's a little corner spot that I need to use in a way to "stop the eye". (The dr said some patients like to peer down the hall to the treatment rooms -- from their vantage point in the waiting room -- and say hello.) I thought about a tall tree decal because that would be big and colorful and take up a lot of space. Other ideas? It can't be a coat rack or coffee machine because we don't want people congregating over there (it is just beyond the reception desk, maybe 9-10' from the waiting room seating. Depending on what's left in the budget, I could also see about getting an artist to actually paint a tree there. (This ties in with the dr's art collection, which are mostly landscapes.)

Comments (5)Difference is the required/code underpinnings for any functional living space. Soil pipe. water, heating, cooling, electrical, and a plan for all and more. ..... FIRST !! ............ A garage is an UN conditioned UN inhabitable space. Not to mention cheap relative to the former Simply no point in the reverse of process. Really no point to not waiting until you do the entire thing, or re think the wish list. That is life....See Moremarcopolo5
