December 2018 New Build Thread
Comments (176)dsnine, we've been so busy with the move then we finally made it month ago, I'm primarily working away hence not much at home and try and make the best of it when I am. I took these pics this morning; I'll wait for tile work to complete, then a few cabinets installed around bar and fireplace, before providing further updates. No it is not zero entry on one side, left side is a bench. The shower is 10'4" x 4'2". Two person? It is certainly large enough for a few but no way, be just one person with choice of 2 rain showers plus 2 large hand showers on rails and 4 jets, just about enough for fun showering. What you see in the view is the sea, its a harbor. We are a shade over a mile from the freeway and 16 miles to the airport....See MorePink Roses 2021 Color Threads
Comments (81)Still really want pink peace everytime that I see yours Merlena What a color ! I cried over Young Lycidis because the blooms were so gorgeous and smelled so wonderful but it took over and I just couldn't keep up with it. Good luck to those growing it. The blooms rrally are special But removing it gave me room for Azaleas Forever Rose and Marc Chigall...See MoreWhat are you reading? December 2021 Edition
Comments (115)Readers and AnnieD...posting this before this thread closes down at the end of the month. What would you think of when the January thread is posted (and all subsequent threads each month) of linking the previous month's thread in the new thread? The search function here is so abysmal that sometimes, when I want to look back at a previous month, I cannot find it. If the January thread contains a link to the December thread, that will make it easy to find. Eventually, after several months, we can just link through to previous threads simply by opening the January thread. We can click on the December link (and in the future) could then find the November link in the December thread, then find the October link in the November thread and on and on. Annie, since you usually start the reading threads, it would be another task for you, so don't know how you'd feel about it, but I think it would work best if the previous month was listed in your original post. Anyone else think this would be a good idea and if so, Annie would you mind doing it?...See MoreDecember 2021 Week 2: And that's the way it is!
Comments (64)Larry, I love roselle after only growing it for a year. I needed to dig it out with a shovel so Rick could till the area. It had pretty massive roots. Churches are in a hard situation with the mask wearing rule. Would Jesus refuse people without a mask? I don't know. But, it's more complicated than that. Ours pretty much says wear it if you feel more comfortable wearing it. They provide masks at the doors and you can pick up communion so you don't have to get up to go to a communion table. But those tables are pretty spread out and people seem respectful about letting others get theirs before getting too close. I typically wear my mask. I teach children's classes and it's not easy teaching them in a mask and singing with them and all. Probably half of our people wear masks. We have a very large auditorium so it's easy to spread out. Our congregation is much smaller than it used to be, so the auditorium is way too big, but it works for covid situation because it allows for the spreading out of people. And we have had several people who have had covid once or twice and they have been vaccinated. I don't know what the answer is. It's all so frustrating. And there's other things floating around--some type of non-covid/non-flu virus that makes people feel like crap for days, and also a stomach bug. I love that song too, Nancy! Can you just wear a double mask to your church event? And stay apart from others? Or is your church normally shoulder-to-shoulder? And it would be nice if all of us lived close to each other. Rick and I are fortunate that we live so close to each other. Jen, I for sure want to come visit! Not this month, but soon and I'll bring that thing. You can check it out and see if it's something you can use. I also enjoy the pics of Larry's little dog baby. Danny, I'm sorry you're still so sick. Nancy, you're right about keeping thoughts to oneself. I just have so many thoughts that they start to bubble out and I want to discuss them with someone else. I have a couple of friends that I don't get to see often who are weird like me and aren't offended to discuss things that might challenge beliefs in many areas. It's not an easy thing to find in people. Oh my word, Amy! It was the strip that was messed up! Oh well, at least you have back up tablets now! That's great news that the momma and puppies have been adopted or are in other foster homes. I'm always so tempted to take a foster when I see Forever Yours is asking for help. I simply can't take care of one more pet right now, though. The only pet I sought out--other than the chickens--is Finbar. The others were rehomed to me. Josi was a foster, but the rescue got grumpy when I tried to return her to the pool of adoptable/fostered dogs. So, we kept her. Adopted her. We've had issues already this morning with Ethan's car, so I'm hoping for a good outcome. It's a very old car, but we really need it to keep going for another year or so. There's always something, right?...See MoreJW
