Weed & Feed Mea Culpa
Comments (5)The issue now is how much damage did i do, and how long will it take to rectify? Very little and not long, unless you have a grass variety that dislikes the chemical you just put on it. The easiest way to go organic is simply to stop using the chemicals. So, tua culpa...no. I'm not familiar with your grass type or the feeding schedule for Washington, but here you wouldn't need to feed again until August. Somebody with more familiarity with your climate will be able to offer more help. It's all Costco's fault! There they were on that broad wooden pallet, neatly shacked, shining bags of "Weed and Feed." My mind darted from the immage of the flawless lawn represented on the bag, versus my weed ravaged lawn at home. Yeah, we've all done it or at least been sorely tempted. Forgive yourself and move on. If you find it keeps you up at night, see a therapist. :-) It may sound as if i'm being glib here, but i really am heart sick. There's no reason to be, really. One shot of Weed and Feed isn't going to destroy the environment or poison you. Millions of people using the stuff every year...not so good. You using it once...don't worry about it. It'll probably even help the lawn look a lot nicer. It sounds like an initial reset before you go organic was, if not required, at least helpful....See MoreMy partner treats me so bad , but I love him, how do I fix us?
Comments (7)We have a few addicts in our family. You probably know these things, but in case you don't... The first things drugs do is destroy a person's conscience. Right and wrong mean nothing to an addict--they only care about finding the money for their next fix. Addicts lie. MOST of the time. NO ONE can 'fix' an addict or their relationship with one. As long as you're trying to help him (paying for life's essentials, letting him get away with abusing you, etc), YOU are keeping him an addict. Most addicts really don't change. The few who do usually do so only after they've totally hit rock bottom. Helping him as you are, is keeping him from deciding to get the real help he needs. Look, as the others have said, YOU cannot fix this problem. All you really can do is save yourself. Get out. Take some time to heal, and find a real man, who truly loves you, and won't abuse you physically, verbally and financially. And just in case those words don't help you make up your mind--are you prepared to go to jail for this man? If the police find drugs in the car while YOU'RE driving it, YOU could be charged with the crime. And do you really believe this guy would step up and claim ownership of them to get you out of trouble? I doubt it. Whatever else you decide to do, please start squirrelling money away for the legal fees you no doubt will be paying sometime in the future, because one or the other of you will probably need to be bailed out and defended at some point...See MoreGrrr... why is houzz doing this now.... how to fix
Comments (16)Emily H we do NOT want to have anything condensed.... post or pictures.... Nor do I want some answers to pop up closer to the top. I want the OLDEST post in the thread to be at the top and scroll down as we have been doing..... when you put the latest post at the top you have to scroll down to where you LAST read and then read up.... so what happens is you scroll down, find the last post read.... read down that post, then scroll up to find the post right before that one and then read down it and then scroll back up and then read down.... that is a WASTE of time.... I want the oldest post in the thread at the top so when I scroll down to the last post I read, I can continue reading down... And as Sherry said there is NO best answer.... this forum is a SHARED forum and I VALUE what everyone has to say.... So I want to be able to SEE the ENTIRE post and NOT have to expand it..... if you HAVE to have the option the option should be to collapse the thread not expand... the DEFAULT should be show everything! Thanks so much for asking. Sharon...See MoreLVF installed. Now, how should I fix the problem?
Comments (0)I just had my floors installed. The floor looks nice except it dips and moves in some areas. High traffic areas! I researched for two years on the proper install for this type of flooring. My sub floor which is concrete was very uneven, especially in the high traffic area. I discussed with the hub and watched countless videos on the proper install: level the floor first! We hired a guy who insisted that an underlayment under the flooring will fix the problem. I disagreed d/t my research but my hub thought “good idea”. We will save time this way. Again I disagreed but didn’t win the argument. Now the floor is down and there are very noticeable dips when I walk in certain areas. The installer suggested that we only wear soft sole shoes or socks in the area (high traffic area!!!!). As if it’ll prevent the floor from eventually pulling apart or breaking. He does not feel he should get paid for the job and neither do I but he did put in a lot of hours. What is the best way to fix the areas that are messed up?...See MoreDLM2000-GW
