Couldn't believe it - got Tamora at a grocery store!!!!
Comments (11)OMG Harryshoe - what a beautiful bush! Light peachy/apricot is my favorite rose color, so I have wanted Tamora for a while. Your pictures have inspired me as to what good care will do for this rose. I also am curious about her scent, which many love but some hate, evidently. Your garden looks immaculate too - sigh, I have much to strive for. Thanks to everyone who shares my joy over finding hidden treasures in the oddest places. Yes, I was not happy to find our expensive nurseries are just potting up bare roots - same thing we can do here - so while I will buy potted roses it is very rare I will pay full price. I could mail order but I usually only do that for specialty items, like minis and my one own root Lemon Spice (which hasn't performed all that well for $25). The few times I have struck gold at Walmart - the plant quality was impressive - I have a very nice "New Year" from them that has a delicious tangerine color (too bad it gets BS, but does re-leaf out fast.) Greenhaven, I am very intrigued by Ebb Tide, I would try her if I can find her cheap, some people here seem to think she is great - other times it seems her performance is unimpressive?...See MoreI couldn't believe what I was seeing.
Comments (6)Happened to a now "across the miles" friend of mine just about this time last year. A routine trip to the doctor found her on the spot hospitalized for a quintuple bypass... do not pass go, do not collect. To make a long saga short - her two bedroom apartment in the independent living section of a senior complex was a true warren of furniture, boxes, stuff, chock-a- block, floor to ceiling. I knew how much stuff there was initially because she moved before I did and 5 of us friends worked every day for a month to help pack up all this cr@p. And I'd been back on trips on a couple of occasions only to see that the problem had grown exponentially. Before completing her rehab, social workers, occupational therapists, the fire marshall, and complex authorities went in and cleaned it all out putting everything in rental storage units. The place was definitely a hazard - to her and the entire building - and she wasn't given time limits to correct the situation. With the noteriety of the Hoarders programs, and doing a lot of reading, I might have a small glimmer of insight into what started her down this path. There but for the grace of God... That was an up close and personal life lesson for me - I feel pretty confident I will not leave a mess when I go....See Morecouldn't believe what I saw
Comments (15)I totally get the point vala55. What too many bicyclists and motorcyclists don't get is that right, wrong or otherwise, when they take on a 3000# vehicle, they're likely going to lose. And I think it's time to contact the lawmakers about the bike trailers with kids in them. For one thing you can't have people in a trailer behind a car - for cryin out loud you can't have someone in the back of a pickup! That should be illegal, if it isn't already. I had an incident last summer with a motorcycle with a baby trailer behind it weaving in and out of traffic. After all, cars are supposed to "look out" for motorcycles, right? They don't have to follow the rules of the road. (ARGH!) I'll say it again. I miss winter. I miss the snow and ice now. At least we didn't have too many of these issues to deal with. Spring has sprung and the buffoons have blossomed....See MoreI know how much I need to do this but I couldn't
Comments (5)I'm very happy for you about work, but you still need to get to the doctor about those head aches.I know you are scared and I would be too, but you will not be any good to any one else if you do not take care of yourself. I know I sound like I'm preaching, but you really do need to take care of yourself. Quit worrying about work, they seem to be very pleased with you at work, and they don't won't you feeling this way either. Now tomorrow morning get on that phone and call the doctor. It may not be anything real serious, but do you want to go through the holidays, feeling this way and not knowing? Not too long ago my dh was having alot of problems and I was just as scared as he was. The not knowing is almost worse than what is wrong. When they finally figured out the problem, we didn't like the answer, (m.s.) but at least we know what we are dealing with now. Please, Please go....See Morenicole___
