Comments (5)I think there has to be some sort of equalibrium point below which the price of sheet rock or a 2x4 won't drop. A point where everyone along the chain is making enough money that it makes more sense to keep going than to close shop. Prices can go below that for limited periods when shifts in supply and demand make it more important to move inventory than make money, but it can't stay below it for long. Flgargoyle is certainly right that energy is a big part of the equation. The oak veneer ply I bought yesterday was made of trees grown here, shipped as logs to China, milled and shipped back. And people worry about locally grown produce......See Moredo you 'think' about your own death? hope i am not morbid
Comments (15)Deb, I am the same way. My brother passed away over a year ago (I did not find out about that until 2 months afterward), and my mother just this past January. I think about death almost all the time now, and if not exactly death, then how my end will come, what disease will I get, who will take care of me. I read about the wonderful people on the caregivers forum, and as I have no children, I wonder what will become of me (I'm 45). What happens to those who can no longer speak for themselves? What happens? Sometimes the fear grips me so bad, I fear "losing it". Maybe that will be my punishment for not helping with the caregiving for my mother, and now for my very ill father. My sister was/is in charge of all that. Why? A long story...and I feel that although I am not entirely blameless in how things turned out, the twists and turns of our lives, our actions, our words, or lack of them, our whole family, led to the tragic situation as it unfolded. But I still feel guilt. When not thinking about death, I have other such morbid thoughts, like having visions/dreams of someone chopping down all my old trees after I'm gone, bulldozing my beloved perennial garden, throwing out my knick-knacks, books, letters.... Geez, I need a drink.... Anna...See MoreI think I have midge now, too
Comments (9)I get thrips in the spring, but not chili thrips. I don't think they would overwinter even if they found their way here. After thrips, come the JBs by the thousands, and then when they start letting up, a wide assortment of other beetles and little worms arrive. Midge is one I've never seen and didn't expect to since I'm surrounded by crop farmers rather than rose gardeners. Very happy to hear that I misdiagnosed and apologize for thinking a favorite nursery sent midge my way. Our temps really haven't been any higher than normal, mid to upper 90's. The humidity (sometimes as high as 99%) gives us heat indexes in the 105 to 110 range. Most summers we get breaks where the temps drop down to upper 80s and lower nineties for a few days. We just haven't often had those breaks this year...the heat came early, and it's been relentlessly hot since. Francis Meilland (first pic) has been a champ through the heat until now, and still looks good overall except for that one cane with the sad looking tip. Pat Austin (2nd pic) has bloomed a lot, but the blooms fry within hours. New growth hadn't been burning until now, though. Tangerine Skies has been struggling with burned foliage all along. Bug damage didn't cross my mind as the problem until I starting reading all the midge threads. I'm back to assuming it is heat damage now and will go ahead with planting this fall to see if it improves when in the ground and more mature. It may just be a rose that's happier in the North, though. Thanks to everyone for your help!...See Morerob333 (zone 7b)
