thanks! i think i initially had that turned around. :D

Any user of any forum could easily avoid conflict and uncomfortable interactions within the forum by using a couple of tactful phrases, like ...i respectfully disagree... ...i wouldn't do it that way myself... ...or if i were in your shoes... No one here is the end-all of knowledge in any...

Greenthumb, you're a doll! Sadly, that's not my guy. My guy has a red/orange body, and black wings with white tips. Yours has a blue body and solid wings. I really appreciate the help. :hugs

Yes, i agree, after consideration. It looks like a moth. But what kind? And why does it want to live on me? :D Is it going to eat a hole in my head? Or does it just like bright colors?

What a cool story, Steve. My hubby used to work for a 'soil vendor' for lack of a better term. But it was one who did all natural compost - healthy for the area we were in, etc. He was not making it out of anything inorganic or bad for the soil just so it would be black, etc. But that's not...

FYI, when i was working two jobs - one of them waiting tables - and working up some plant life of my own, the best and fastest thing i ever did to dry up the plant life - and the aroma - was to spray lysol on my toes when i got out of the shower. Worked wonders. Yes, i might be a weirdo, but i...

Hello Brian, I'm not an expert, and your dogwood must be a different kind than the ones i have. But mine make a nice spread on their own. I would personally not prune that baby you have in the picture....certainly not right now. I'm sure others have more specific advice, and i am a newbie...

That was the first thing i thought when i saw the ad: how do you know if they'll fit your toes? Everybody's toes are different. :/ But i agree. The idea of these is totally awesome. I just don't believe that they have it to the point that it is going to fit most people's toes comfortably. :(

Happy to. :) Is this it? And i agree. If i haven't made the crust, i don't feel like i've made the pie at all. I also despise recipes whose ingredients are things like 'cake mix' or 'pudding mix.' I love knowing i made things totally from scratch. But that's just me. :) Let me know if...

A couple days ago, we were wandering around outside, and the neighbor boy, who was with us, came and showed us that he had caught a butterfly. When he let go of it, it immediately flew onto my husband and stayed on him until we came inside. Then it lit on the wall. After that i had forgotten...

Oh yes! That reminds me! A few months ago, i was at the city Senor Center Thrift Store, and i found an old copy of the Betty Crocker cook book. I can't find a publish date on it, but it's in kind of a binder, and from the printing, etc., i'm making an uneducated guess that it was probably...

We've been enjoying nice 'winter' weather up 'til now. What the heck! Now i have to bring in not-quite-ripe tomatoes and limes. And down here, this is our first freeze. We haven't had any light freezes, just chilly nights and cool days. And then wham! SnoW! Crazy! I'm just thankful that...

My favorite published cookbook ever, which i no longer own and can't remember the name of, is a cookbook published by a Mennonite church in Michigan where my dad's family is from. It has all the old recipes from the ladies in the area who were old 30 years ago. The recipes use words like...

Yes, the office has a/c (this is Texas ;) ), and the one in my house is by the drafty window, so maybe that explains its condition too.

I love those! They're so gorgeous!

My pothos cries. In the office where i used to work, there was a very large pothos plant that would cry regularly. The office 'plant guy' told us that means it's happy. :D It's interesting to me. Maybe i read it wrong. The article Ron linked to says it happens in low humidity? We never...

you're making me hungry. [insert lip-smacking emoticon here]

:lau certainly not! :gig
