A Christmas Bear Scene! From The Bear Man!
Comments (14)I just love black bears! Except the time when I was little and my parents told us kids to pile into the back of the family station wagon. What they failed to tell us was there was a 550+ pound black bear in the back of the car! A friend of my dad's killed it and it was gutted and sprawled out in the back of the station wagon. We kept screaming that it was still alive (steam was coming out of its mouth) and that it was moving. Even the family dog, a big dachshund who wasn't afraid of much of anything jumped in the front seat when he saw the bear. And people wonder why I'm so weird!...See MoreFrom the horses mouth.

Comments (23)Toni, I dug one out of the trash bag before the rest went into the snow storm...;-(((( No one here seems to be interested in plants as I, let alone take care of any...I would rather see them freeze to death, than give them away to anyone and see it die a slow death.... I kept the "duke jasmine". They smell soooo good when in bloom and it had such a healthy root system! I felt horrible looking at such a healthy plant, and then just to kill it. I inspected it thoroughly, and it had no mites, so it was spared...But I intend on keeping it small and spraying on a regular basis. That should keep it from being a magnet..Crazy ha, how much we love our plants? My adenium had no mites either, but it has been known to be a mite magnet in the past, and I wanted to take no chances..That is at work now...I will take a pic soon and post how happy it is... I examined all my plants today, and not a ONE had a bug! It must of been just those few I talked about earlier. Even my Cordy is growing beautiful leaves now, mite free. I just have to make sure I spray often for the next couple of weeks. That one to is in a seperate room.. I PRAY you do not have mealie....Toni, I know how much you hate them! You know a pest worst than that? Thrips!!!! Oh yes. I know a place where you can buy plants, and they have had thrip problems for years there. They hide when you spray, and come out when your gone..They are good hiders. You can't hit them with spray like you can the ones you see. They tell me they cut off the new growth as it emerges on most their plants..YUK..Thank God I have none of those. They make mites seem like a picnic I guess..Not only would I never buy a plant from them, but I would not even step foot in there for fear one might hitch a ride to my home...I am lucky I havn't brought one of these home from other stores, and if I did, I would hire beneficial pests to rid them..Ones that search out and destroy these thrips! I called them yesterday to see if they had more FP, asked if they were using the spray you showed me to use since the last time I talked to the girl there and she said yes. She also said that she hasn't seen thrip damage for a while..Hummmmm You will getting an e-mail soon. I have so much to share with you... By the way, it only took me an hour to spray ALL my plants and the plant room today, along with cleaning the walls, shelves and floors...getting better at it...What a feeling to know all my plants are clean for the time being! Hugs to you, Mike...See MoreMerry Christmas !
Comments (24)Hurrray, for your rain, Karen! I know water is a huge concern in Australia and this rain is a real blessing for you and will save you so much work as well. Your beautiful roses will be coming up gangbusters! Corrinne looks so adorable! Karen, you would laugh at this, but as a little girl I hated dolls with a passion--I loved building blocks and Legos, I was fascinated with train sets, and I loved watching race car tracks; the Little Serena would have been thrilled with a racing car set, but did I ever get that, nooooo....LOL, LOL! I also loved books but we always had to go to the library for those. I ended up with so many fines from the library because I was always losing my books (constant forgetfulness and absentmindedness) and borrowing more and more books, hahahaha! I owed piggy banks of book fines, hahaha! By the way, it's still snowing in Kansas-2 feet deep in certain pockets of my yard. Big fat flakes and deep, deep snow! Used to be that our snows were very brief and very shallow. Not this year, LOL!...See Moreout of the mouth of babes 'I hate books for Christmas'
Comments (40)When I was little, I remember getting a big book of stories that I just loved. And I hated reading. What I loved about it was, it was a big book, probably 8" x 12" and an inch thick and filled with about 100 short stories. I didn't have to read it cover to cover. I could pick and choose which stories I wanted to read. I ended up reading the whole book many times. But to read a book with one story cover to cover took me until grade nine. "The Outsiders" by S. E. Hinton. I read it a dozen times over the years and watched the movie several times. It wasn't until I was in my 20's that I read another book and then became a bookworm with V. C. Andrews "Flowers In The Attic". Since the internet though, I've only read one book cover to cover. In TEN years! I'm working on book #2 right now. "The Iceman: Confessions of a Mafia Contract Killer" by Philip Carlo. It's a true story. Right now he's 26 and has killed about 65 people. Only 2 were for the mafia so far. The guy had some serious mental problems. But with a father like he had, it's no wonder. You have to read it. It's good. LOL I didn't watch the video posted. But I can well imagine what his reaction was. I was disappointed in my storybook too. But I did eventually read it all....See More- 6 years ago
