the good, the bad, and the ugly...
Comments (8)I flew back and forth from Cape Cod, all summer long, to see my mother. We had such a dry period in the early part of the summer that I thought everything in my yard and neighbor's yards would be toast. And some things did not make it. It's the part of gardening that I find enjoyable and crazy making. I'm here in Sarasota for the winter and know dependable landscapers if you want names. pabrocb@yahoo.com I had been sent here to buy citrus my trees. The ones I bought were very small, though. Drymon's Citrus Nursery, 3146 47th Street, Sarasota, FL 34234-5012, (941) 355-1466 I think they close for lunch, so call ahead. These guys are so good: http://www.backyardcitruscare.com/ Jim went to U of F and knows his stuff. They come four times a year and treat the citrus trees. They aren't expensive and it's worth every penny. The dog is very cute too. Welcome back and enjoy. Carol B. Sarasota...See MoreBad Worm
Comments (16)Hi PJ, Rock Flipping Day was started by a Nature Blogger called Via Negativa, with lots of other bloggers joining in to all flip rocks, take photographs and post about what they found. People from all over the world joined in - there are lots of crawlie things in the photos so be warned! The guy who started it posted this list of participants. Good think I went out to take photos for my blog post or those flatworms would have gone on eating my earthworms!

Comments (57)With all due respect, ncrealestateguy, considering the definition of a troll, that is somewhat redundant. ;-) I will grant you that it was less than kind for me to tweak him like that, and it is true that his lack of manners does not justify ours. At the same time, if he is not made aware of how he comes across, how can he (hopefully) correct his behavior? Perhaps he was born in a different culture - that would be easier to let slide. Yet even then, he still would need to learn how to assimilate & he doesn't come across as the type of person who will accept a singular gentle correction - more like a plurality of bluntness - maybe. :-D At any rate, moving on to a more constructive line of thought, I not only do *not* disagree with your opinion about internet business for PB's, I would assert that it is already happening currently since I have been able to communicate successfully with at least one online about our interest. But note that this part is about the potential customer seeking out the PB who has put his internet shingle out rather than vice versa. The one point where we seem to differ is on the suggestion that good PB's are going to be cruising help wanted boards looking for pool jobs. If you want to grow your business, you are going to target the areas that will make the most of your advertising time & dollars rather than trying to hit up every possible avenue - because not many have that kind of time & money to spend with so little potential return on investment. Even if internet usage on that point changes in the future, it still seems on par with putting an ad in the paper - I can't see most people being willing to hire someone for a job like this based on who responded to their ad. There will always be those who prefer to go as cheaply as possible and cross their fingers, but I believe most of us would rather seek out the best and the brightest to increase our prospects for a quality job with greater longevity....See MoreNew Kitchen Plans won over a Europen cruise
Comments (39)Something else to consider while planning your future remodel: I love the knotty pine as well. The original kitchen in my own home had knotty pine. We know because when the previous owners did a super-ugly remodel in the 70's, they moved those knotty pine cabinets to the husband's workshop where they have been too abused to re-use and re-install. Darn it, anyway. If they were in a condition to be usable again, we would only be adding more cabinetry to them and not having to buy all new. I suggest searching websites like Houzz for examples where people have combined knotty pine cabinets with other cabinet styles. Done well, this can look amazing....See Moreamylou321
