How many of you can relate to this?
Comments (13)MK, hope you are feeling better. I think we all can relate to the pain that you have been through. We all remember those wisdom teeth.... awwy Thanks for the compliments on the pictures. About the sunflowers, no I am not planting any this year as I just kinda stuck with the basics, peas & corn. My wife has two raised beds of tomatoes. My life long best friend is in about the same shape as me, but he owns a dealership and I don't, so he sent the Club Car down to me. He came down this past week (from Warner Robins) and we rode around for 4 hours looking at our childhood. My butt was so sore I could barely get up the next day! Aw, come on... let hubby get a golf cart... then take it away from him.... like my zero turn mower... I am not even allowed on it and it was suppose to be for me! Birds... like the good son that always sent his mom & dad something at Christmas as he travelled all over the world. This past year he sent him an exotic bird from South America and later phoned to check on it. He asked his dad if he got the bird. Dad replied, "yep, and it was delious too". The son almost yelled at him and said "Dad, that was an exotic bird, expensive amd spoke two languages". Dad said, "Well, he should have spoke up then". ESH, this is like old times getting to message you back and forth. The cart is nice, just plug it in and charge the batteries every few days. The dog loves to ride with my wife. Will ride with me sometimes. It is a dog pound dog, but made a home here as did the other dog, both have been fixed. BMMALONE, thanks for the remarks on the pictures. I took them from the club car. Actually, my wife can take better pics than I, but she was at work. Someone has to work in the family... You called me young man, I am 64 if you call that young. Guess it is a relative term. The rain has been missing us for the past few days. I've heard that you should cut back on watering corn when it is near maturing. If I get a mess of corn in a week or two I will take a pic of it and post it. Shot...See Moreand related to how old are you.....
Comments (28)In my 50's, I guess. (I'm 61.) I have a bad knee and it really slows me down, but still, I think I am probably healthier than most people I know who are my age. I don't have high blood pressure or high cholesterol or any reason to take medication, except an occasional pain pill when I know I am going to be on my feet all day...due to my knee. I still get up and put in a full day around here, and keep on keeping on. I certainly look older, and my answer to that is to not look at myself any more than I have to, and keep doing as much as I can. I may be slowing down, but I'm not going to give up....See MoreHelp! I think my 2 yr old lemon tree is in shock!
Comments (9)Still in need of help: The tree/ leaves/ soil hasn't changed at all other than a few leaves have fallen off. The leaves are still brittle and some have yellowing/brown spots and the top of the soil is dry, but when I dig about 3 inches down it is damp. Again, I'm not sure if I should water it. Would miracle grow be a good idea at this point? About a week ago I watered it with 'Superthrive' (a vitamin additive)- other than that I have never provided nitrogen or any other 'supplements'. Any further suggestions?...See MoreTell me to stop thinking about this...(dog related)
Comments (30)If your Olive and Phoebe don't hate each other, I'd give it a go. I've had two blind dogs as senior foster dogs--a shih-tzu and a chihuahua. The chihuahua we kept until she passed away, the shih-tzu got adopted by a lovely couple. No idea how old they were when they lost their eyesight, both were blind when I met them. Total lovebugs and they did fine getting around the house. We never took them upstairs due to risk of children leaving a door open and granny dogs tumbling down the stairs. They both held their own/ruled the roost with our large, active younger dogs in the house. The chihuahua was touchy with our larger dogs at first, but as soon as she realized they were not going to boss her, she made friends with them. Both of these pups were well housetrained and did well finding their way back into the house from the (fenced) yard. My friend fosters for a blind dog rescue and she has had lots of blind fosters. They have all been happy and gotten adopted!...See More- last year
