This is probably the wrong forum........but
Comments (51)Satine, you are going to make it, you can see what to do for now at least and you'll just have to take each event and work it out. By securing all your valuables and making sure your banking is only in your possession you are protecting yourself, even if its, sadly, from your own DD. I would like to say when I read your post, she is innocent but I don't have that feeling. If she was nine years old with the neighborhood klepto, yea, I could see it but she dangled the carrot in front of a BAD kind of guy at the age of twenty. I'd say that was sort of unusual. I don't know maybe you have coins all set out in a bookcase and they are super cool but I'm not thinking that's how this story goes. What was she thinking? I've always told my kids to be kind to everyone but in no way do I encourage them to temp the temped. (guessing you haven't either) Or to jump into danger just because someone else is doing it and it's exciting. Like taking drugs, drinking, all that. Your dd isn't exactly seeing the difference. Empathy is good, although not in this instance. Heaven knows no one is perfect but there are some people who have a hard time learning what is wrong and right or at least people who never seem to learn from their mistakes. She needs a counselor to help her see how much of a wonderful future she has if she can focus on friends that are good for her, to be respectful and honest to others and herself. I sure hope she see's that soon or who knows what kind of life she will have. You don't want to see that, I know but she needs to see that her lousy guy friend is making really bad choices and one day he could/will drag her down with him, even if she feels sorry for him. You will have to dance on that fine line. If you mention to her she should drop him, most likely she will cling on for dear life. If you don't do something to gently help her see the light, she may end up in trouble. Good luck, I hope she does the right thing from now on....See MoreAny Other Lamp-oholics Out There?

Comments (63)Marilyn_c — I’m not sure what isinglass is, I’ve heard people call different things isinglass, so I’m gonna look that up now. I would need to see closer pictures of your find, but it looks like slag glass to me. I’ve read that pink/red (if it’s slag glass) is rare. Circa 1850-1870 (just an amateur guess from a dark picture). I love the period and style! Great find!! If you ever have the opportunity to take that lamp to antiques roadshow, they may give you some interesting news. Someday I’ll take my grandmother’s lamp to an antiques dealer and see who knows what about it. She didn’t know how old it was or who made it....See MoreNot much blooming? Let’s share our grasses.
Comments (24)Peren.all, so much to love about ornamental grasses isn't there! Of all the panicums, which are your favorite for coloring up? Yeah, 'Oehme' is a charmer! Nice to obtain a seedling without the very sharp edges. Back on the farm, as I walked the stands of muskingumensis along the creek, I quickly learned not to run my hands through the "blades!" My miscanthus 'Little Miss' has been growing backwards likely due to being a bit shaded out, she must be moved tomorrow, nice early coloring on this one, wish it would bulk up though! 'Malapartus', oddly enough, even with the longest and hottest of summers, only ever was it poking out the plumes when frost would arrive, just not meant to be I guess! Forever_a_newbie. I really should give Purple Fountain grass a try and do as you intend and dig up in the autumn, that foliage color is awesome, especially backed with the bit of yellow!...See MoreOkay, let’s try something a bit harder…….can you find…..
Comments (29)@colleenoz, right…duck’s head at the bottom in the middle, and what I meant by ”at least part of it.” For some reason it was one of the first things I saw.🤷♀️ LOL, you might find Jimmy Hoffa in there if you look long enough!...See Morelily316
