Checking In-Anyone Still Around?
Hi everyone,
Been quite a while, but I thought I'd check in and see how everyone was doing.
Still living here in the Denver area (Westminster-lived in Arvada for about a year and when that wasn't working anymore, I moved over here into another roomie situation).
Worked a few jobs since. Some were seasonal (best one was at a local nursery called Echter's-family owned and operated-I was a cashier, but still a lovely place). Now working for a grocery store chain (Safeway). Been there for over a year (almost a year and a half).
Best of all, I met someone quite special a couple years ago, and now, well, he's my boyfriend :). We became official two days after my 35th birthday back in March. He has to eat gluten-free, but we both like Asian foods, and we found a nice pizza place that has GF pizza (and is super delish-reminds me of a pizza place in my hometown). We're looking at places to live together, and when we find one, it'll be one more year here in CO, then off back east to find somewhere cheaper and greener/more precipitation (he's originally from Kentucky and went to college in Iowa).
Still cooking up a storm when I can. Work keeps me pretty busy these days. Gardening when I can, too. Mostly house plants, but I dream of having that big garden paradise I've always dreamed of, along with a pretty house and a big kitchen.
Me with the BF. He's a doll (and a dork, but aren't all the best guys? ;)

Anyone still hanging around?
Comments (4)I'm new on the House Plants forum, and I just noticed this morning, before noon, there are a bunch of posts dated today. I call that a good thing. You cannot hang out if no body else is around. Sometimes things are cyclical, plus these days many folks have personal blogs they post to, and don't have the stamina to make posts in a forum. I enjoy posting where there is a feeling of someone else being around. It is more fun than talking to yourself on a blog where no one is a follower/friend, or makes no comments at all. The most I do is take pictures and post them on Webshots.com.....many have plants as a focus....a lot outdoor in pots, not in the house except in bad weather, but also what is called on here, TROPICALESQUE.

Comments (13)That depends upon how offensive you find them and what your feelings about pesticides are. An organic bacterial which has a very short re entry period, low toxicity to other animals and people, won't burn the foliage and doesn't stink to high heavens is Spinosad. You can find it at garden centers. Kim Here is a link that might be useful: Green Light Spinosad...See Morechecking in--do you still like your AS Cadet 3?
Comments (12)I installed a AS Cadet 3" about 6 months ago and posted my results somewhere on this site. In summary - I had to go back to HD a few times to get a bowl that wasn't defective (wasn't flat on the bottom or wasn't fully glazed). I have had the toilet installed for about 6 months and have put it through some severe "stress" tests and admit that it has never clogged. Relative to the previous toilet that was installed - I'm impressed. Very strong and efficient flush. Not extra ordinarily noisey. I was impressed enough with the toilet that I replaced the other two in my house with the same AS Cadet 3. So far, I'm very impressed with the toilet. I am still a little concerned about overall quality of the unit based on the initial quality problems I had finding one that wasn't defective. I'm wondering if the unit is going to start developing leaks or parts failing. Only more time will tell. I was initially going to use Toto Drake until the only local dealer quoted me a very high price and long delivery time. At the time the new report came out on toilets that showed the Cadet 3 performing very well relative to the Toto's (you can find it on the internet if you do some searching). I really don't care where the toilet is made as long as its the best unit for the $$$....See MoreStill checking brands before purchase
Comments (3)Ldev all good. Temple should be at a lower price point than Vanguard but Temple is well made and well tailored. Vanguard makes one of the nicest products in the industry, great selection of fabrics with their upholstery. I am quite sure there are still family owned and made in North Carolina. Sam Moore owned by Hooker has a good selection of chairs. Jessica Charles owned by Hancock and Moore also very nice, is a step up. You really couldn't go wrong with any of these manufacturers....See More

Oh, I forgot to show y'all last year's creation. I didn't wear this one for work, but she was fun :). Does she look familiar? Didn't have to spend much on this one. I had mostly everything save for the glasses.
This is what I wore for work (I actually worked the day before Halloween, but they still allowed me to dress up). I didn't physically make the dress, but I did style the wig and applied my own makeup (a little faded here).
Unsure of what this year's will be. But hopefully something fun and amazing.
Annie, glad you still make my Gram Bertha's lemonade. I haven't made it in a while, but the last batch I made was quite good. I think I did my variation and put an orange into it as well.

Last night's unexpected (wasn't planning on canning anything until I saw cherries were on sale at work) culinary project. I LOVE canning. Have some jam with your toast, muffins, biscuits, or cheesecake, whatever strikes your fancy. ;)
