RANT- Pop up Ads - anyone else tired of them ??
Comments (7)They may be an ivilliage thing but there is obviously some way to stop or prevent them because I don't see them. I have Verizon DSL that has a pop-up blocker but I don't think it's anything fancy. I use the Google Tool Bar and it has more pop-up blocker stuff on it. I also run Ad-Aware and Spybot at least once a week and clean out my temp files every other day or so. No problems. It all only takes a few minutes to do, it's free and its worth it....See MoreIs anyone else tired of summer?
Comments (86)Carla, I see the temps you folks have to cope with and I think of all of you. How do you do it? We don't get that hot normally, but there have been summers where we flirt with 100 degrees for a few days, and it's just miserable. Heck we haven't had that many days in the 90s this year. But even when it's in the 80s and the humidity is high, I just become a lump of inactivity. It's uncomfortable to move, but boring to not do anything. It seems like just breathing works up a sweat. Yesterday we got some great relief -- lots of rain in the morning, overcast day, and the temps didn't crack 70. It felt great. This morning is sunny, dry (low humidity), and we'll max out at a dry 82 today. Finally -- tolerable weather. It was such great sleeping weather (50s) that I didn't get up until after 8:00 this morning. I'd send that to you, honey, if there was a way to do so. I'm with Patrick; I'd chase after spring and/or autumn around the globe if there was a way to do it. Hang in there! Deb...See MoreAnyone else tired of deadheading or is it just me?
Comments (13)My petunias are getting scraggly too. I always deadhead, because my pots are right by the front door, and I think deadheading keeps everything in full bloom and at maximum attractiveness all the time. BUT. I really, really should have pinched my petunias back this summer. Now they are only blooming from the top of their tall, scraggly stems. Oh well, this is the first year I've used many petunias, I guess you learn from your mistakes each year! I agree with Glen3a - petunias really are troopers, they are still blooming, even though they're dying! northspruce - I also have a volunteer somethingorother growing in with my perennials. Must have self seeded when I threw the dead plants over the deck railing last fall. It isn't petunia, but it sort of looks like the million bells one? I think it is called cali-somethin. :D Kinda neat anyway, even though the bright pink doesn't go with the orange, yellow and red perennials surrounding it! I wish I had the money to replace my summer stuff with fall beauties like mum's and stuff. Then I could have Martha Stewartish pots! Ya right..when I have the money for a second wave of plant buying. Never!...See MoreIs anyone else tired of this word?
Comments (52)"Ramp up"? At the back of a flat-bed trailer, often called a "float", there are a couple of tubes at each side of the back, and two ramps, 6 - 8' long, with a tube at each side of one end of each, and two long bolts going through each set of those four tubes to attach the two ramps to each side of the back of the trailer. Swing the ramps up from the trailer and over, letting them drop to the ground. Then drive your tractor with the front end loader and a bucket on the back up the ramps on to the trailer. Then swing the ramps back up and over, to lie on the trailer just behind the tractor. My landlord the sod farmer does that every few days, to help lay the sod beside the houses that the builders are putting up. They have things like that at the back of the big transport aircraft, to drive heavy equipment up into them. It's usually used with regard to a project that's been operating on a small scale and is being increased. Disturbing word? Incredible!! Along with some that you've mentioned: "myself" one of the main ones. "A million and a half people evacuated ...". How do you evacuate half a person? And if you're evacuating a million ... is the extra half one really that important? " ... as of yet ...", used by newscasters, etc. ole joyful...See Morebgfuqua
