Comments (10)Thanks, Purple! I took another pic this morning that shows a bit more of the plant. It was outside under the filtered light of the arbor to start with then I gradually exposed it to more and more sun during the growing season. I watered it once or twice a week depending on how hot it was (at least as far I remember that's what I did). I think the thing that really got it to bloom was I never repotted it. The poor thing is really root bound and in fact the cheap plastic hanging pot it is in is breaking apart. When it is done blooming I'll have to pot it into a larger pot. When it got cold it was moved inside to a sunny window at my partner's job until the flower spikes appeared then it was moved back home and it's been under the T5 lights in my bedroom. :) -Robert...See MoreLOL, Ever Want To Just Run Away?

Comments (35)Hi Creek, I just stopped by to lurk and try to catch up on my friends. Haven't been here in sooo long. I'm glad I saw this. Your post brought back so many memories of trying to help Daddy take care of Mama who had alzheimers. He had a major stroke after my 6 siblings refused to help him and gave him no choice but insisted he put her in a nursing home. I was working full-time (had to- ex had left me DEEPLY in debt), had just married a man with 6 kids still at home, and spent the first 2 years of my new marriage running from work to 2 separate nursing homes trying to see that they each at least got fed ONE meal a day. Daddy had swallowing issues after his stroke. My heart broke DAILY. DH said, "Go- I will be here when you get back and I'm supporting you in any way I can." I've walked a mile in your shoes. I prayed for you before I started typing and will keep praying for you. Forget about the siblings. They will only add to your stress. Act like an only child and don't count on any help from them. Mamma and Daddy died within 18 months of each other and I still miss them terribly after 12 years. But, they are in a better place and I will see them again. The most important advice I can give you in hindsight is: Spend as much time with your parents as you can right now while you still have them. You won't regret it. And pray for strength and endurance. God Bless you, Betty PS- After reading everyone's encouragement, I was reminded why I love y'all so much even when I don't get to come by often. Karen, I'm painting that on my kitchen wall!...See MoreI'm running away and need good books. What are you reading?
Comments (53)Chris Bohjalian, who's been mentioned already, also had a book out of compilations from a column he wrote when he moved to Vermont. It's called "Idyll Banter," and I really enjoyed it. Right now, I'm reading "The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society," which is a few years old. I'm enjoying it. "The Distant Hours" -- (fiction) about a letter posted in 1941 that reaches its destination in 1992 -- is one of the titles on my to-be-read list. "A Vintage Affair" I read a few books back. Really liked it. A mystery to go along with your cruise theme? Mary Higgins Clark's "Santa Cruise."...See Morelindg5a
