oh my Gosh I just remembered what I wanted to post about brugseed
Comments (13)Well if it was definately alive I agree with Kristy that it is probably a fungus gnat larvae, though I've never seen one. That is the only thing I can think of. Do you have the little gnats flying around the dirt on your post? I am going crazy with those things, I mixed up some mosquito dunk water to try and kill the larvae and I am going to spray more often to take care of the adults. If you have a problem with them put a peice of mosquito dunk in your water jug to help kill the larvae when you water, and also putting a layer of sand on the soil keeps them from getting in and laying more eggs. Spray raid or something for the adults. I wish I would have bought a bag of sand to have now.....LOL. Oh well I really like my brugs so I will put up with the bugs.

Comments (15)No I don't know them, and my comments were harsh. Mainly because of that innocent little girl, now she will surely know that finances were part of the reason her Daddy hanged himself, and if it does not occur to her this year, within a few years and certainly when she's older, she'll most likely think back to her extravagant birthday party and blame herself. That is why I said what I did about her mother. That kid could have had a $15 cake from the grocery store, 8 friends and pin the tail on the donkey and been just as happy. That party was to indulge her mother's ego. But you know how I am about people not being personally responsible--and yes, it was his fault for not putting his foot down, but regardless as to how much she knew about their finances, her spending was over the top and vulgar. In fact, her life seemed vapid and vulgar, to me. As to many of them. Just what I deduce from what I'm shown, and what they agreed to be a part of. I don't know why I tune in when I do (haven't watched all the franchises, or any complete season) but it's like watching a train wreck....See MoreOh-my-gosh...What I Know About Germans
Comments (5)Marita40..you are right. Former Minnesota native here and I'm 3/4 German and 1/4 Swedish. And proud of it! Many of these hit the nail on the head, esp. in describing my dear mom and her side of the family....See MoreOh my gosh--I LOVE this Impervo paint!!
Comments (2)Francy -- I am just delighted to see your sweet name here! (I'm here on the Painting Forum today looking for brand suggestions for painting outdoor furniture. I was outside painting some side tables fuchsia but a thunderstorm has rolled in -- raindrops the size of Volkswagens and a fierce wind. One of my favorite things about a Colorado summer, seriously.) And I'm so glad you like the Impervo. I have to agree agree agree (that's a wholehearted agreement!) with how terrific it is to work with. We had it colormatched to our (factory finished) kitchen cabinets and I have to say, because of its incredibly fluid nature, it is absolutely impossible to tell the difference between it and the factory finish. (of course, the excellent color match helps!) We have it on the wainscoting in our breakfast nook / family room and it is so smooth. In a hurry I painted a shelf using a foam brush and it is the same texture, the same finish as the wainscoting (which was sprayed). It's crazy! I also want to tell you that after having it (and ours is pure, bright white) on since late-April how well it's stood up to our family (puppy, three cats, four year-old "Spiderman," two year-old sticky-fingered / chalk-drawing enthusiast). Our two year-old loves walking around with sidewalk chalk in his hand, drawing wherever he feels like it. (and yes, I let him because in general I can just wipe the chalk up) Anyway, the turquoise chalk seems to have permanently marred the white cabinets (I have yet to find a product I'm willing to have in my home which will remove it). BUT, the same turquoise chalk was drawn on the Impervo-painted wainscoting and it wiped right up -- left no marks whatsoever. The two year-old likes to vacuum (wink wink), and he is rough with it, banging it hard into everything, inc. the wainscoting. Not a problem. The four year-old "Spiderman" likes to climb and has attempted to climb the wainscoting (until he was seen by me, that is), scuffing it. Again, I have had zippo problems wiping it off. I feel like an advertisement but that Impervo is impervious! (For the record, I've also been having great luck with Aura -- a little friend came over to play and colored her palm red; she then left red palm prints on our newly painted wall. I was less than thrilled, but miracle-of-miracles, it wiped right off with no burnishing. Now that left me thrilled!) But I do want to caution you to PLEASE, PLEASE take special care of your wrists! I'd hate for you to get any painting injury -- it is just not worth it. It is not worth it at all. (Now a personal note: Thank you for your lovely note. When you posted pictures of your soapstone delivery [so I saw a photo of your neighborhood] I thought: that looks like Burlingame! But then you wrote about your bicycle and I told my husband [who likes to consider himself East Bay savvy because he moved to the US to attend Cal] and he said: "if it looks like Burlingame then it's XXX." And we'd even been to XXX back when we lived on the peninsula! My cousin [who's a DVM] was filling in for a vacationing vet there so we went to visit her. I can't remember the name of the street, though .... Francy, I'm old so this memory thing happens! You are absolutely one of my all-time favorite people here on GW, so you just have no idea how pleased I am to see you here.)...See More- 7 years ago
