Lowes and Wal-Mart failed me. Arg!
Comments (12)HD is closest for me, and they keep the entrance doors locked off season. But you can take a cart back to the garden section and bring it to the checkout in the main part of the store. It's all I can do to lift 40# now plus when it's usually wet, I wonder if it weighs closer to 50#? Anyway, I get help at the store loading up and then I'm on my own. I can't carry it but a few feet then have to set it down and move it a little further. My daughter picked up the last for me and parked on the side of the house. I got after her and said she should have parked where she wouldn't have to carry it so far. Oh, it didn't bother her. She carried it right around to where I store much of it on one side of the house. When we had a thaw, I got the last bag in the house as far as the living room. I'll work out of it from there, yes I lay it down on a large storage lid so I don't get dirt all over, and then when I've scooped out about half of it, I can easily carry the rest of it on back to where the rest of my supplies are....See MoreHow many kids did you get last night?
Comments (39)First of all, I can't believe that Annie got FOUR HUNDRED KIDS!!! That just blows my mind! What's in the water there? ;) I got none. Zilch. Nada. I was a little surprised, but not unhappy. The dogs I have now go ballistic when someone comes to the door, so keeping them from escaping, or grabbing a child's bag of goodies is challenging. (yeah, bad Dog Mom..) So I didn't have to deal with that, and I have a whole, (well, half now...) bag of Butterfingers all to myself. jessicavanderhoff - unbelieveably, I was a kid that got *something* in their candy bar. It happened in the early 70's, and the best I can figure is that it was a little bit of LSD. I am not making this up. I had a very weird reaction to something in my candy bag. To the point where my mom called the police. I was about 13 at the time, and during their investigation, the police tried to blame it on me experimenting with drugs and getting scared. Heh. I did dabble in pot at the time, but nothing else. Something was definitely spiked. If I had children, my biggest worry would be one getting snatched on Halloween. Everyone is dressed up/disguised... it would be simple to grab a kid without being identified. I am amazed at parents that let young children roam unattended. I think the trunk or treat/community/church things are good, and as much fun as our memories of Halloween are, these types of events will be the current young generation's great memories....See MoreStorm Last Night - DH and I are safe
Comments (15)Your pine tree will likely survive, but its appearance will be affected. If it were a spruce, it would correct its shape in 10 to 15 years. Lightening took the top 10 ft out of one my spruce trees. For the next 5 years, it developed a ring of linbs at the very top and made a nesting platform for owls. An then, one year, one of the limbs in the top tier began to turn upward and after 2 years was pointing straight up. It became the main trunk and 10 years after the hit, the tree appears normal to the casual observer, but one who is practiced in reading tree growth can make a good guess about prior damage. But for landscaping purposes, it has made the repair and needed 10 to 12 years to do it....See MoreDH's Heartache Last Night
Comments (24)Thanks for your reply Ashley, it helps to know that there's people out there who understand, even though our situation is not exactly the same. We might see the skids more, but BM's influence is still very very strong so we have a similar outcome. And just this week there's another great example of it. The skids were supposed to come to our place for a week because it's holidays. They might be coming from Fri.night to Sat.night, but this is not even sure. The reason? Because it's holidays they want to spend more time with family. You can imagine how FDH felt when they said that :-( SD14 often writes on her facebook page that family is most important, but I doubt she'd think of us when writing that. It's just so important for BM to prove the point that we don't really count. For example birthdays. When it's the kids birthdays she'll make sure we don't see them on the day. She used to make skids believe that FDH didn't care or make an effort (while turning FDH's request to see them down), but now that they are older she can't do that anymore. So now she keeps them busy and because family is most important, especially on a day like that...you guessed it already. FDH's birthday is not a day we get to see them either, even though this is not an important 'family' day on her end, she'll still keep them busy. She's clever in how she does it because she doesn't deny the kids access to FDH. When they ask if they can come here for dinner on FDH's birthday she'll say "of course you can honey". Then she'll organise something and give the skids the choice, making a point of it that they should feel free to choose and not pressured by FDH. They always choose her option, no need to say. And not just that; by always telling them that FDH shouldn't pressure them, they start to perceive that FDH pressures them, even when he's not. It's programming, that's all that is. Another example when my family visits (from other side of the world, maybe once every 2 years) BM will keep the skids away from us, also normal visits are cancelled. That is when she plans 'family' time and family is more important. And you know what? I agree that my family is not so important to the skids. They have only met them a couple of times, they don't have a bond as such, they hardly know each other. My parents send birthday cards, that is it. And that is ok. FDH and I are not married yet either, they are not family to them. No problem. But, what's the harm in the kids meeting them when they visit? Why can't we have normal visitation? We do not ask for extra time or changes, only to see them as per normal would be nice! I kid you not, when my family last visited they saw the skids for 2 hrs......See Morebpath
