I'm not much on objects but the one thing would be the table my grandmother left me b/c when we moved here I gave the rest of her things to my brother What memory do you love to think about? I love thinking about my grandmother & anything we did together & hope to make those kinds of memories with my grandchildren Favorite place to just hang out for and by YOURSELF? haven't been able to do that here in Florida since we only have one car & logistics make it difficult but I had a couple of spots in TX that I went to when I had difficulties with my exes.

Lobsta Name your potluck party never-fail dish: (we might ask for the recipe!) You know we almost always end up taking a brisket w/bar-b-que sauce so there will be a meat Last movie you saw?

Some say my Grandma had it. Favorite journey or travel spot: Anywhere I go with Dave! :) Tell us more! We might want to go there!

Comments (11)The current watchword is paranoia. Or just because you're paranoid doesn't meant they're not out to get you. :) Yeah they got the right person out. The one thing that can not be tolerated and worked with is instability. Obnoxious, lying, backstabbing, yes. That becomes a big ol' game of B---S---, and same as with cards, it's about reading people and working people. With someone like Kass, however, who can be quiet and subtle or totally unpredictable, it's like playing with a handful of sand. Ciara (sp?) for all that Andrew thought she was dangerous, is so completely transparent, she's not that much of a threat. She went frontal assault with her whoppers, rather than dropping bits and pieces for others to pick up. I would have loved to see someone like Kass win, just because it would have been a hoot, but I don't blame them for booting her. She didn't learn her lesson. It's not just feeling trustworthy. It's making everyone else believe you're trustworthy. In a game of deception....See MoreSurvivors after extreme cold
Comments (0)Late December of 2017 through early January of 2018 saw record cold in Maine and other parts of the Norteast. The nearest National Weather Service station is about 5 miles away and their records are as follows: 12-25 +3, 12-26 0, 12-27 -9, 12-28 -4, 12-29 -16, 12-30 -16, 12-31 -13, 1-1 -18, 1-2 -11, 1-3 -8, 1-4 +1, 1-5 0. With temperatures like these lasting for an extended period, I anticipated heavy losses, especially among the species. I was happily mistaken. Among the big leaf species, fictolacteum was the most severely damaged but is currently putting out new growth. Sutchuense and calophytum - both between 3 and 4 feet tall - were not at all damaged. Neither was asterochnum although this smaller plant was beneath a good depth of snow. All of these were protected with teepee style frameworks covered with landscape fabric. This is necessary even in mild winters to protect the large leaves from wind damage. Snow depth during this period was 10 to 12 inches, so the above the snow line growth was fully exposed to the cold. Other species, some with wind barriers and some without, that came through the winter with no or minimal damage included insigne, bathyphyllum, pseudochrysanthum, adenopodum, adenogynum, roxieanum v. orenestes, balfourianum, paradoxum, taliense, russatum, wasonii, souliei I don't really have any ready explanation for how species rated as hardy to 0 or -10 withstood prolonged temperatures far below that range. Certainly the snow cover, even though it was not deep enough to cover all the foliage of most of them, was a factor. The fact that this cold arrived relatively late after plants were fully dormant is another factor. Last summer was extremely dry and October was exceptionally warm. This meant that watering and natural rainfall continued later than usual. The hardiness ratings may be overly conservative although it's never wise to generalize after a single experience. There were fatalities: thayerianum, pseudotrichum and fortunei (which has never done well for me). Hybrids mirrored my experience with the species. The ultra hardy David Leach ones did fine as expected. Others, like several of the Hachmann hybrids, were fully exposed to the cold but suffered very little damage and bloomed well. Low growing hybrids, many of them originating in the UK or on West coast, were fine beneath the snow....See Moresushipup1
