Comments (151)Oh, that's bad, Trina! Poor Fox! We haven't had to deal with that here, thank goodness!!! Okay, and those of you saying to talk to the doctor, well, that is what I am pretty sure the email he read was about. He had gone to the doctor, and while he was there, joked around with his doctor that his wife thought he needs the blue pill. The doctor asked if we were trying to have any more kids, and when he said no, the doctor I guess told him that if he keeps losing weight I'll think he's a new man! And I was SO pissed that the doctor didn't take his joking seriously!!! Isn't a doctor supposed to dig when someone mentions something like that lightheartedly??? But, please don't think I'm not getting any - it's not that bad - it just doesn't last! But, he certainly makes up for it, so I'm not complaining too badly! ; ) As far as childbirth, I've been both ways. I didn't want to have drugs with any of them, but I have trouble going into labor on my own. So, I have had 3 births with a pitocin drip. Yuck!! Once it starts working, it makes it fast and hard. With all three of them, I had some painkiller, something they put in the IV, to take the edge off - I don't remember what it's called. With William though, I did go into labor on my own. (Though the doctor says it was because he had checked my cervix that morning.) So, no pitocin, no pain meds. And he was almost 9 lbs. - 8 lbs. 15 oz. And I have to say - that was my easiest labor! Incredibly painful, but maneagable. OMG - when I had William, I have this funny memory! I tore like crazy when I had him. The next day when I went to go pee, I used the little squirt bottle that they tell you to use to clean yourself afterwards, and I accidentally touched myself. It felt like there was a ball down there - I was swelled up so huge!! That was one of the weirdest feelings ever!!! Melissa - I don't know how you did that at home! We talked to a midwife when I was pregnant with Lily, but decided to stick with my doctor. But, on our own???? Scary! My mom said that her mom gave birth on their kitchen table - all 8 kids. And most of the time, the midwife didn't make it in time. She remembers her dad delivering her younger brothers and sisters. Wow - that is so cool Melissa!...See MoreIs this lousy NE weather preventing flowers from even forming?
Comments (11)Let me ask you this... what kind of fertilizer are you using???. Be sure you are not using one that is high in nitrogen. If you use one high in nitrogent then you will get nice beautiful green bushes but few flowers. Use a fertilizer that has a low first number. I like 5-10-10 fertilizers. The nitrogen content is always the first number. If you are using a 10-10-10 or a 16-16-16, etc. you are using fertilizers that are more suited for lawns where people want nice green color. Also, are your plants getting enough sun. I have one plant that only gets about 5 1/2 hours of sun a day. It is just as big as the other plants and looks just as healthy, but it has very few flowers. The other plants get full sun and have loadss of flowers. I am hoping now that the sun has begin it southerly migration (actually the earth is moving but the result is the same) that this lone plant will start producing more flowers. Also, since I was not planning on a garden this year I did not trim my trees. When I decided I wanted tomatos I set my plants out without realizing just how much the trees had grown. After realizing what was going on I went to work on those trees and practically stripped one side of one of the Liquid Amber trees. Now that the plants are getting sun from around 10 o'clock the flowers came on big time. I notice in your pic that there are a lot of tall trees in the background. Not knowing wich direction they are I cannot tell if they are shading the plants from the sun until late morning or so. Tomato plants like lots of sun - the more the better. Too little and you get lots of plant and little to no fruit. Too much nitrogen, same result. Tom...See MoreFool me one, shame on you! Fool me twice, shame on me!!!
Comments (35)@rococogurl, I'd send you a PM, but I can't figure out where your "Message" button is. :/ I'd be more than happy to send you some though. For what it's worth.. if you didn't know any better, the beads look exactly like Real MegaPerls, and the Scent is dead on. But... it's like it's missing Oxygen Bleach completely, or it doesn't seem to activate at any temperature (40*, 50*, or 60*). And... for it containing so many enzymes, you'd think it'd clean up anything thrown at it, even if it didn't have oxygen... but it doesn't. It's like pouring in a cup of table salt. What really bugs me... or sets me off though, is even with the German Universal Powder, or German Megaperls.. despite being low-sudsing.. you still see some small bubbles on the glass. This doesn't have that at all. It's like nothing is there. I don't know. It's not like someone dumped something else in the container. It represents what the product is supposed to be, but... it's like nothing is really there, but fragrance....See Morenormal to have ice on inside of new low-e windows, very cold weather?
Comments (13)Dew point is defined as saturation vapor density or 100% relative humidity. Dew point is the transition temperature between evaporation and condensation. Condensation occurs on windows because the temperature of the glass is below the dew point temperature of the air in the home resulting in moisture on the glass surface. There are two ways to lower relative humidity in a home – increase the air temperature or decrease the moisture content of the air. Lowering the relative humidity may solve the problem or it may have little to no effect – depending on how the RH is lowered. Increasing air temperature will lower relative humidity but it does nothing to affect the dew point temperature. Dew point is all about the amount of water vapor in the air and is not affected by air temperature. At any moisture level, higher temperature equals lower RH and lower temperature equals higher RH. Lowering RH by increasing air temperature may not affect condensation on window surfaces unless the rise in air temperature also results in a corresponding rise in glass temperature to a level above the dew point. Lowering RH by lowering the amount of water vapor or moisture in the air will lower the dew point. Once again, if the dew point temperature drops below the surface temperature of the glass it will affect condensation formation on the glass surface. Moisture level in the air is most easily expressed in grams per cubic meter (versus imperial version of fluid ounces per cubic foot). In addition, while this is nice for metric-speaking folks, it may be less so for non-metric folks. Since the metric version is much easier on the calculator than the English version, and in the interest of making this stuff easier to understand for all of us non-metric types, I am going to use grams per cubic meter, but also Fahrenheit rather than Celsius for a couple of quick example calculations. Consider two virtually identical homes located right next door to one another. In this scenario, home number 1 has an internal relative humidity reading of 40% at 65°F, and home number 2 has an internal relative humidity reading of 29% at 75°F. Both homes have 6.25 g/m³ moisture in the air inside the home, irrespective of the RH differences between the homes. Because they have the same moisture level, the dew point in both homes is 38°F. At dew point, or 38°F, relative humidity is at 100%. Above this temperature, moisture evaporates, and below this temperature, moisture condenses. While the relative humidity in the second home is much lower than is the relative humidity in the first; if the surface temperature of the glass in either home is 38° or lower those windows are likely to have surface condensation regardless of the substantially lower RH reading in the second home. If glass surface temperature of the windows is 40° – only a couple of degrees warmer condensation becomes much less likely. If glass temperature is below 32°F then that moisture is going to form frost or ice on the surface of the window. In order to stop condensation from forming on the surface of a window you have to: (a) lower the dew point temperature of the air to a level below the temperature of the window surface, or (b) you have to warm up the window surface to a temperature above the dew point temperature of the air, or (c) a combination of both. I am not a huge fan of casement windows for a couple of reasons, but primarily it’s because the glass surface sits well proud of the house exterior wall when installed. The best way to avoid window condensation is warm glass, and the best way to avoid warm glass is to hang the glass package a couple of inches past the exterior wall when it’s really cold outside. You have to either warm the glass somehow or else you have to lower the moisture level in your home. Judging by the amount of ice that you have on those windows, that glass is cold, really cold and warming the glass is probably your better option. Looking at the picture of the window next to the popcorn machine, it might take a small fan or even a small portable space heater near the window to give it that extra warmth on the extra cold days to avoid condensation and ice build-up....See Moresjerin
