Ever get the feeling Nature's against you?
Comments (4)Dealing with 'ma' Nature requires alot of foresight. Hey, you might get pelted with golf ball hail, super high wind, flooding, drought, infestations, whatever. Gird your loins (whatever that means) and prepare for the worst. Gardening is really for the optomistic, patient individual who knows that any gain is sometimes luck. It feels like winning the lottery when the plants actually do what we want. Workaround is the key, study Nature's ways. It's really worth a try. Happy gardening....See MoreCancer really does stink, feel free to skip
Comments (234){{{{Maddie Lee}}}} You do have a lot going on and had major surgeries. It's ok to have ups and downs. I'm so impressed with what you're able to accomplish so far in your healing in such short time. Just focus on the small things - which it seems like you're doing. Sounds like you have some awesome friends who understand not being up for things. Hope you continue to improve so you don't have to delay treatment, but even if you do it is ok as you want your body to have the best possibly chances to handle any additional trauma. How is your husband doing - if I remember he also had some health issues going on....See MoreFSA Cards--- rant!!! feel free to skip on by....
Comments (8)That's why when I had an FSA I never used the card. If they couldn't figure out that Scott McKenzie DDS was a dentist, there was no point. I would go straight to the paperwork. Which I HATED. I agree with 4katz that it's a case of government good intentions gone wrong. The system drags a 3rd (or 4th, if you count the IRS) party into an already complicated health care landscape, and it's just one more financial drag on the system. I did a dependent care FSA when my daughter was younger; that was easier because the bills were more regular and most of her expenses were from just one provider. I don't remember getting the runaround on those. I now have an HSA, which I am not planning to tap until I retire unless something happens and I have catastrophic emergency bills. The longer you hold it, the more benefit you get from it's triple tax benefits, and I'm sure I will have enough medical expenses in old age to take advantage of tax free withdrawals....See MoreI have cataloged my small collection A-Z, feel free to browse
Comments (9)I looked again and did see your blog with all the changes you made this summer…….wow! You did a lot! I love all the areas you have created. My husband and I have two decks, large and small with furniture. We love eating outside and watching movies! My husband installed a large outdoor screen and bought a small projector on tripod. So on nice nights we can enjoy our favorite films. Also have a screened porch off back of house and enjoy that when bugs are bad. BTW, give your clematis time. When we buy them, they’re so small…… you can completely cut it back to just above the ground and it will come back fine. It takes a few years for them to get going. Mine is quite old now, but one year I cut it back so far, I thought I had killed it. The following Spring it came back stronger than ever. debra One more thing, since you’re new, we always like to know a location, zone and area. You can put it right after your name in your profile, just go to edit. Thanks for sharing!...See MoreIris S (SC, Zone 7b)
