Is bigger always better? ;-}
Comments (13)For me it depends on so many things that can vary day to day. I bought roses in large pots as I know they need every advantage in a cold climate and I was impatient for blooms. They were in bloom when I got them at the end of June on sale and continued without a pause until well after freeze-up so it was worth it. Plants that are new to me I sometimes buy in small pots - got my Walker's Low in a 5" pot and it took off unbelievably, should have got 6, and will get more next year. If I want/need a lot of a certain type of plant such as the lavender I bought in a small flat of plugs as they were very inexpensive. They are also marginal here so I haven't lost much if only half survive. For shrubs or trees I like to buy in larger pots. And I prefer they not be too root bound as it's just an extra stress for the plant. If I'm paying the big bucks for a potted tree I want it in very good condition. I'm usually very frugal but it does depend on how desirable the plant is to me and how nurturing I'm feeling at the time. I've babied plants for decades so sometimes don't feel like taking on more. But every year do buy a few I know need it. Overall I buy more small potted plants than large simply because they are a better buy and I can wait for them to grow....See MoreWhich name do you like better?
Comments (46)Putting a "d" in it makes it sounds more like a country than a name to me. Marilyn, love your daughters name. There was a family I knew growing up that all the childrens middle names were the mother's maiden name. Both boys and girls. It helped that the mother had a decent maiden name, Vincent. I remember one of the daughter's names being Alice. I thought it was pretty cool. A tribute to Mom's former name without having to hyphenate anything. I still vote for Baen. It's a cool name but not off the wall....See MoreHow Do You Feel About Naming...
Comments (53)My kids like their names. Me not as much. In the maternal side of my family all the women were named Sarah Jane for five generations(first born daughters) but my mother broke tradition and I would rather have been named Sarah than what she chose. But my husbands mother really screwed up. She named him after both grandfathers which is fine. BUT they started calling him his middle name, a rather sissified version of it. So when someone calls him Charles, he never looks although that's officially his name. He always did the initial and then the rest of his name. Very confusing. I named my son a great name which has a good nickname too....See MoreDo You Believe "Gut" Feelings are Something that Shouldn't be Ignored?
Comments (39)I think there is a difference between gut feelings and intuition. I am skeptical of my gut feelings but not of my intuition, although both can be wrong at times. My gut feelings can be wrong about 50% of the time, but my intuition has a much higher accuracy, historically. My gut feelings can be reflex reactions, and those can never be trusted, and I do not. When I have an intuitive feeling, I recognize it for what it is and pay attention to it, whether I act upon it or not. I've been in the woods when I could sense that there would be a bear in the near vicinity, and in each case, there was, and I was able to backtrack to avoid the bear instead of facing it head-on. Once I sensed a bear behind me, and it was a good thing that I did. I've also had premonitions that would strike me instantly, and these turned out to be extremely accurate, even though I did not want to believe them when they struck me. I never wanted to believe them when they happened to me and generally kept them to myself, only to regret later that I did not reveal them to others to warn them. According to Einstein's unified field theory, there are at least ten dimensions, which you can read about in Michio Kaku's book Hyperspace, in which he discusses string field theory. I also believe that some sort of time travel is possible, to visit probable futures, and that this can be done sometimes while asleep and dreaming but also sometimes while conscious and accessing another dimension. This has happened to me on many occasions, and when I dream of the future just before it happens, it is the most accurate, but if I dream of it very far in advance, the probable future has more opportunities to change. When a dream comes to reality, I feel like I am experiencing déjà vu , but I often realize that it is really just something that I have dreamed previously and not actually experienced before. This happened to me much more frequently when I was much younger. As a child, I also had a lot of dreams that seemed to be of my previous deaths, but I have no way of knowing whether this is the case or not. Fortunately, I do not have these dreams any more. I tend to have extremely vivid dreams, many of which cause me anxiety and are difficult for me to awake from. While having these dreams, I am generally convinced that I am awake and not dreaming, even though I have identified certain clues to let myself know that I am dreaming and not awake. One that did not work was trying to pinch myself during a dream to confirm that I was asleep, but when I did this, I felt the pain of the pinch, and this only served to convince me that I was awake. Another clue is when I recognize that I am hopelessly lost and will never be able to find my way home on the streetcar or by walking back on the path I have just been on, or that I am in a house or building that keeps morphing as I am walking through it. I then say to myself, this only happens in dreams, and so I must be dreaming, but I am not always convinced, as I do have a tendency to get lost in real life. This might be why I have collected maps....See More- 5 years ago
