Newest Terrarium Two 30 gallon tanks one on top of the other.
Comments (6)Ikike: Great start. Would you care to share how you built the background? I have many terrariums but not for frogs, but put layers of diff substrait for drainage and learn how much to water over time. I often (if overdo it) use twisted paper towel (into tight roll) and stick into soil and it will wik up and dry soil out (ie put more substraight in for drainage such as larger stones, laetrate (sp) charcoal for absorbing toxins (from older books but still valid info). Here are links to various sites where they have much more advanced information. Looks good so far.

Comments (5)The above posts are kind of insensitive and not very helpful to destini181...I really think that people come on here and post when we are very upset and have no one else we can talk to or get unbias opinions from and I think people should be a bit more understanding of the position posters are in...I know myself I have been scared to post and have received some comments which are a bit rude and not understanding... I am new here as well but I do A LOT of reading from posts even from years ago... Mkroopy's advice is good to just ignore the behavior... If your husband's daughter doesn't like you... which she is making very clear, she may not be over the divorce of her mother and father... And obviously does not have any respect for her father's decison to marry you... Either way, shes 24 so she will continue to have this view about you most likely.. and when she is ready.. (ie if you two last a long time) she has to come around. If her father chooses you as his partner regardless of age, previous children etc she has to respect that or basically not be around him... You should kind of try to put yourself in her shoes a little bit, I think it would make you understand her anger and maybe you wouldnt be so upset about it. She is immature clearly and is possibly doing things to upset you purposely or she is just an insensitive person and doesnt care about other people's feelings. Either way, you have your own immediate family in the house with your children, one on the way etc so really, don't sweat it. If you read other posts... it is for sure a good idea to make sure that any really rude or unacceptable behavior towards you is intervened by your husband.. It seems like an on going problem for blended families on here that the step mothers are always fighting their husbands to stand up for them. So I would say make sure to nip that in the butt ASAP! If we let them slide we have really horrible problems later on. She may even be looking for the negative attention.. and by you freaking out or getting emotional she is getting a reaction. Just ignore it all as mkroopy says. If she doesn't want her child around you or the grandfather than who cares. I mean really let her win and say what she wants... just keep your life, direction and the immediate people in your life your focus. These daughters these days are out of control.... Just a side note* my dad is with a woman who is his 3rd woman after my mother. Every single one of the woman he chose I have always shown respect to. Even at a young age. Regardless of my personal opinions of them, the current gf he has now I don't really like the things she does, or the way she acts sometimes and my dad and I talk quite often. He will be upset or hurt and vent to me. But I never let that take over. Everyone is human. If dad likes her and she treats him well to the best of her abilities I'm cool with that. Even if I didn't like her at all and couldnt stand the sight of her.. I would never put my dad in a position like that... He's a big boy he can handle his own decisions and if he needs moral support I am there.... I really think it is the way these kids are being brought up these days with ZERO respect for elders... Goodluck and I hope it all works out... Try not to stress too much with the pregnancy and all! :)...See MoreHow old is your oldest cookbook? Still using it?
Comments (42)My mom had The Settlement Cookbook, AKA, The Way to a Man's Heart. Her's was the 1950 version and I think every Jewish bride, if they lived anywhere near Milwaukee, received it as a wedding gift. I loved using it, and when I found a 1928 version at a tag sale, I bought it for my own. Besides the great recipes, there were tips about housekeeping. In the back are ads from companies that helped to sponsor the book. Mine has an ad for a stove, the latest thing, that uses gas -- so you don't have to stoke it with coal or wood....See MoreWhy would I want to comment before reading the responses?
Comments (23)@User...you are correct...Spike ran That (The?) Homesite...which was the predecessor to the GardenWeb. I wasn‘t talking about cutting and pasting links. I was discussing hyper texting, I.e., highlighting in green (as I did your name). When you do this, Houzz sends an email, alerting you that someone either mentioned your name in a post, or was asking you a direct question. It’s why you received an email, telling you about my reply to you. You did not hyper text my name, therefor, Houzz did not alert me to your reply. I just happened to check the thread, and saw it. Hyper texting is easily done from an iPhone or iPad. I rarely use my computer. The iPad is how I interact with the internet, 99% of the time....See MoreAglitter
