Who else woke up this morning...
Comments (16)This is so awful.... I was working at that time, I do homecare nursing, 10P-6A last night, and this case has two siblings with a genetic syndrome, so there are two nurses. My co-worker weighs nearly 400 lbs, and we work in conjoined rooms in a 100+ year old farmhouse, even an average-sized adult produces a fair amount of vibration/shaking when they're moving about... Lots of people up here felt the shaking, more than one person i talked to was sitting in a parked car, and thought someone was messing with them , bouncing the car...but me, i'm so used to being bounced around when i work with this gal, it didn't even register. I had the morning news on, so i heard about it immediately, said, 'Hey, Charlene, did you know we just had a earthquake?' She's pretty used to being an environmental mover and shaker, too...she didn't notice either!...See Morewoke up to find the deer ate my plants - what to do?
Comments (13)The first thing you have to do is find a way to keep them from doing more damage. They will be back. Some deterrents work sometimes for some deer. One person I know uses gasoline on a rag on each of the 4 corners of his garden. Of course he has to apply the gas every day and gas is getting expensive so even a small amount like that can get pricey. Another person that lives 10 miles away tried the same tactic and it didn't work. See what I mean about deterrents? The bottom line is it is a dice roll. If nothing else deer netting around cages or deer netting drapped over the stakes if you steak might be a good temporary solution. Depending on how badly damaged the plants are (how much was removed) and how big they were when damaged will go a long way in deciding whether to replace or not. Good strong healthy plants will grow back, but they will be slowed in their development. As you say fencing is probably your best solution, but you need time to determine the type you want to use. Good luck. Randy...See MoreWhat woke me up at 8:30 his morning!
Comments (4)I am glad your DH was safe. So sorry for the man with the severe burns and for those with injuries/ Glad it was a holiday! What a horrid way to start the day....See MoreWoke Up Sick
Comments (8)Given the time of year, I, too, vote for allergies. My throat's been sore the entire past week, some days better, some worse. My eyes are all itchy and uncomfortable. My ears have been off and on clogged. Just allergies. I generally find that this week--around the 3rd week of June is almost always pretty bad, and just when you think you really are getting sick, everything eases up, and by the end of the month, you're fine. Happens to me every year. However, for a little relief? I find that if you eat some horseradish (however you like it--on a roast beef sandwich, on crackers or french fries or even plain if you can eat it that way) it helps ease the soreness in your throat. I generally accompany that with some cola. Caffeine is very good for allergies, and I find that the combo of the horseradish and carbonation, really helps open everything up. It's a temporary fix, of course, but it works, and it's more tasty than most remedies (but then, I come from a family who loves horseradish--even my dd was eating piles of it plain by age 4)....See More- 5 years ago
