Top 25ers that you really don't care for?
Comments (54)Thanks, Faye, you are all heart! HAHA. Something about Regal Splendor reminds me of Sagae, perhaps its that energetic flip of the margin area, but it has a lot of energy IMHO. I like the look, that is certain. Okay, I feel my arm twisted, it goes on the list for maybe a short order that needs beefing out. I still have one to place, with Van Wade. And a make-up order to replace the Sugar Snap that my doxie Dolly ate (and then threw up), from the Solberg new arrivals. And Tepelus, your Praying Hands looks great in that pot with Creeping Jenny and surrounded by orphans. Sure hope it comes back for you....See MoreDon't worry, we'll be careful with your plants........
Comments (31)newhostalady, if my experience can be a cautionary tale, then, yes, that is a good thing. But they told me that they'd be dropping all the shingles into the dumpster on the driveway and you see what happened in the back. Get things like bird baths, feeders, pots of plants, etc. safely put away because you don't know for sure where things will land, lol. But a solid roof, ....gotta have it, right? Good luck on yours! Phil, I was just thinking that I should get my windows washed because how much worse can it get now with more ladders out there?.....a roofing nail in your shoe, and ilovetogrow finding nails nine months later, those are both good reasons for me to wear better shoes and get a magnet out there. As the plants die back this fall I'll probably be able to find a lot more. Just today I found a piece of shingle and a nail close to one of the bird baths I was filling. For one moment I thought about how bernd said the nail is good for my soil. Then I imagined hitting that nail with my shovel some day and tossed it in the trash. littlebug5, I understand the apprehension that goes with any projects like this. My DH still thinks we need new gutters, ~sigh~. When they built the decks, I got some of that bright caution tape and bamboo stakes. They managed not to ruin some shrubs I had blocked off that way. Maybe that will work for your cherry tree and hydrangea. Good luck to you, too!...See MoreI don't care if your house is clean!!
Comments (48)My grandparents would "pop-call", as they called it - ALL THE WAY FROM PHILA, TO MD!! My mother would get so annoyed. The house was usually "lived-in", but never a real mess. Still, that would get her going, every time. Now, I have a neighbor that does that, all the time. It would be OK if she didn't talk about people all the time. She is very nice/responsible/extremely helpfu and thoughful. But, she is also obsessive about how other people live their lives. Whether I care about how you live your life or not, I won't say anything about it unless it is harmful - to you or someone else, and even then, I probably wouldn't. We all kind of just chat, and give hugs and shoulders. But I've had her come to my house and talk about how one neighbor only talks about her problems and what's going on in her life. A few days later, she was in the person's house. It's so bad that I used to dread being home and wanted to move. I always have a sigh of relief when she goes on VAC!! Now though, I must have really made her mad - by not saying anything, and she is noticeably avoiding me. The bad part - her house is always clean/neat, although, since having a youngster now, it's not that way all the time. My house - well, it's my house; some days good, some days, not so good. Oh well, she'll get over it....See MoreWhen You Don't Want to Be Invisible or Friends After 50
Comments (138)I had been trying to re-connect with a friend by emailing her and arranging lunch dates. I was always the one to initiate. I kept it up for several months. When we saw each other it was always really nice. When we ran into each other at church there were always big hugs and "we have to do lunch again soon !". The only way that was going to happen was if I initiated. I stopped. For good or bad I don't think that it can be one-sided. I have given this a lot of thought. I have always been a loner and I believe I always will be. I have had one good friend at a time for years and then it would end and I would have another. I seem to be able to manage that and nothing else. I believe that if I really wanted more I would do more to aide the process. DH and I are really close and do a lot of things together and separately. He has no close friend either. But that is nothing new. Looking at it dispassionately it is the way we are. I no longer think there is something wrong with us. Everyone finds their own way of carrying on. My way wouldn't work for someone else and their way wouldn't work for me. When I am on a bike tour for months at a time I do enjoy being with others ...up to a point. All of us on the trips agree that our tent is like a return to the womb :) When I get home I really relish the lack of stimulation from others and go right back into my solitary ways. I have meditated at length on this and on my original thread that spawned this thread. I am what I am and that is all that I am. Peaceful is how I feel ...not lonely or alone. c...See MoreJo54
