Bleeding Heart~If you have grown this I would love to hear how.
Comments (9)I did the same thing last year , with the same reservations, but put it in shade with some dappled sun in the afternoon. I also watered it daily. It did well ~ could almost call it thriving new growth, no new blooms. right up to the very end of summer ..in late aug or early sept.. the rabbits found it.. stripped it , I couldn't get it back. I am going to try again this year ..with a little more protection. It was my first year and I was expecting little bunnies NOT GIANT rabbits LOL . NOW I am better prepared....See MoreWords you never hear anymore.
Comments (59)IndianaKat, My DF often used "gaum" as meaning anything that was messy, as in something dropped or spilled on the floor; I guess children often messed around and left gaum behind them. Sometime ago I searched through dictionaries with different spellings trying to find out what the word meant. Sure enough my DF was referring to a mess that someone had made, and the preferred spelling was gaum. I don't know why but I recognized the word mullens as some kind of green plant/weed? Not sure of the correct spelling though; don't know if it is edible. Sue...See More'I'd love to hear YOUR comments while you're in dopey/dozy land!
Comments (11)DD Kalie was about 17 when she had her first partial colonoscopy when she got back into the recovery room, she was seeing Jesus in the corner, and he was smoking pot!! I looked at the nurse, and she said I would NOT believe what comes out of the mouths of some of the people! LOL I could only imagine! I had major lung surgery when I was 21, I was not one to drop the f-bomb...still not. My friend was the nurse in the recovery room when I was just coming out of the anesthetic and I was cussing worse than a 'sailor'!!! She came out and talked to my dad and Dean in the waiting room and told them that I was in alot of pain, and she said that she heard words come out of my mouth that she couldn't believe!!! LOL (I can imagine, it has been almost 30 years and I still remember the godawful pain!)...See MoreWhat's the word/words I'm looking for?
Comments (44)My friend went to the gym early on day and got on a treadmill. Some guy to,d him to get off “his” treadmill. Sheesh. I like to think I'm fairly well balanced, but I'm pretty sure I'd come unglued if someone told me to get off "his" treadmill at the gym! On the other hand, anyone who would say such a thing is clearly just not right in the head, so treading carefully is probably called for ... although I know in reality I'd probably tell the guy in no uncertain terms to get stuffed. As has been stated above, this is the sort of stuff that discourages me (and obviously others) from going to the gym. I'm not much of a group participant anyway, but just knowing that there is some unspoken/unwritten code of conduct about where I should and should not work out is very off-putting to me. Of course, I would never plop down in the middle of the personal training area, or do anything else that common sense clearly dictates not to do -- but having to navigate my way through some seating hierarchy in a group class just seems ridiculous to me. You sit where you want to sit, based upon when you arrive. (Or at least that's the way it should be in my opinion.) If we're all paying to participate in a gym environment, isn't that the most equitable and reasonable thing to do?...See More
