Yes jakabedy, 'he's just cool' :) Thanks Natal (love Blackbird duet). You're the queen of elusive video finds, I'm surprised you haven't found Landslide ;D One of my all time favorite songs, no one sings it like Stevie, but I'd sure like to hear Paul's cover of it. I read about Grand Magnolias while looking for Landslide this a.m. Prior name of his band was Hightide Blues (like that name). I was looking for a song, Dancing With The Angels (Meg's Song). Written the night before the funeral of a girl who was a close friend of theirs. From what I can hear on iTunes, it's pretty. I really like the snippet of Far From Home. Hope this link takes you to iTunes preview of that album.

I am finished watching, too. I thought James had the most talent and I am shocked that he was voted off. Can't stand Haley-she seems so fake and calculating. I think she is rude, too, the way she talked back to Randy in a sarcastic way ("Yeah, I get it"). Lauren, hmmm...just can't see it, and Scotty is fine, but to me he sounds like every country singer, so nothing special. I hope James gets a huge contract. It would be nice if Aerosmith invited him to join them on stage sometime?

Aldra, I'm not trying to say you shouldn't want children, or you shouldn't be able to change your mind at any time. BUT... You wrote in last year that "One of the things that he loved about me when we first met was that I didn't seem to have a maternal bone in my body (I don't) and he imagined us having this wonderful life together sans children." If he didn't want more children and you knew it, doesn't it seem unfair to be pressuring him? You SHOULD be able to change your mind. But is it logical to expect him to? Posted by aldra (My Page) on Thu, Mar 8, 07 at 18:36 It's a little like this raek, sometimes it isn't just about the kids. Adults have rights also. My youngest step-daughter is not an evil person, I am not an evil person. However, the two of us living together, being together at any point in time would have been a recipie for disaster. She's incredibly spoilt, manipultive and lazy. The world must always revolve around her, or else it doesn't revolve. My keeping my distance is a way of keeping my sanity and keeping my marriage. I encourage my husband to see her as much as possible. I just don't want to be around when he does. I must explain, my husband isn't your regular 'koochy-koo' sort of dad. He loves his kids but in that remote patriarchal way that to me seems so 1950's. One of the things that he loved about me when we first met was that I didn't seem to have a maternal bone in my body (I don't) and he imagined us having this wonderful life together sans children. Of course it doesn't work that way, as you may well know and kids do get caught in the middle. But it's hard to be a responsible step anything if the birth parents aren't prepared to be responsible parents and if in doing the right thing you constantly see yourself being relegated to second place, step place. I abdicated before it got too bad. This way, my husband is free to have the realtionship he wants with his daughter and I am free to avoid being trampled on.

The bag doesn’t mention anything about watering. I contacted Scott’s and asked them if it needs to be watered in. No, it doesn’t need to be watered in but it does need to be watered to activate. What? It needs water but it doesn’t need to be watered in? Here is what the rep said when I asked for clarity: “When a product needs to be watered to be activated it can be down for however long but once once water gets on it its activated When a product needs to be watered in it needs to be watered in as soon as its applied for performance purposes but besides that your right it should be on the bag and i will be passing this on to leadership about this problem and i want to apologize for your dissatisfaction in our product” So.. piece of advice: Don’t let kids or pets into the area until it has been watered and has dried. As for me, I wish I had applied it as a preventative. Last week was rain every day and night. High heat and humidity in between storms. Grass was pushing 6 inches by Sunday, which was the first rain free day we had. I had to mow it while it was somewhat still wet; 4 inch hoc. Bagged clippings but it still looked a mess. Aoplied Disease Ex as a preventative. I didn’t water it knowing another rain shower was on the horizon. High heat and humidity Monday, rained Tuesday. (Activating Disease Ex) and Heat and humidity yesterday and today. Noticing some nice lesions on some grass blades. Hopefully the DiseaseEx will keep it under control but I may have applied it too late as a preventative. stay tuned!
