Great job! Isnt it wonderful that you have some financial ease now in this stressful time! That is one less stresser for you.

nice! I love the first one, a little village.

Yes. For example, I spent too much money in one exhibit I entered in last weekend’s flower show. I am embarassed to say how much! Ugh. But today,...

Build a Bear is a crock of expensive crap. We took our nieces there one year because I wanted to experience it one time. It is a St. Louis company. ...

We are watchng that right now, have finished the first episode. We got the dvd from the Hermann library.

i think the producters do a decent job in showing sympathetic characters more often than hate watches. Probably it is a ratio of 10 sympathetic...

We are all still thinking about you, and when you want to share what is going on with you, do so. But until then, be well.

Jeppy, could we go off in a corner and talk, I mean REALLY talk, about M600LbL? It is my guilty pleasure. i have serious addiction to it. I watched...

No, here mine are 2’ to 3’. But in Iowa, where we recently toured at the lily cnvention, her larkspur had a whole other “story” than mine had and...

The novelty of hiring stuff out has taken hold in my brain, and now I plan to hire the guy this fall to dig out encroaching bushes at our community...

It was a great year doe larkspur here. i have the deep blue variety and a light pink. A darker pink grows in our community garden so I harvested...

Leave No Trace is out in theaters right now. I liked it a lot.It is about a father and daughter who live in Portland’s Forest Park and their life...

Today I have 3 rants: First, I had a hard time finding this Rant thread. Haha. But still a rant. Second, the rant: what is this country coming...

I am waiting for DH to leave on several short trips to tackle 1) plastic contaners and lids in our kitchen 2) bottom shelf of our Victorian...

DH composts everything but it doesnt appear to me to be especially well rotted. There are always stringy things in it, and it often contains slimy...

ZG, you sound so centered. Working in the earth, spending time with babies, Lovely! I dont know what you mean by asking about verification of...

Its not even practical to ask you to learn a new system after a breakdown. But this is where your healthcare professionals failed you, I think....

Catherine, the poem about being in the moment is nice!

Red Lily Beetle is the scourge of the NE Lily growers. including Canada. The beetle is moving our way, we (the lily society and horticulturists)...

I wash dishes by hand in Hermann and do not mind it at all. I have to be a little more careful to wash every inch of certain diahes with hot soapy...

I love peonies, they are stunning, so fragrant and beautiful. But here, peony bushes do not get huge, it is too hot and humid I guess. Up North in...

Another flower show. I took 7 entries in Design. This was my favorite of the ones I took: it received a 1st place award but nothing bigger. ...

Hahaha, yes, I guess it is true. She is taking on the habitts of seniors.

Ugh, I know! They like saving their stuff!

Finally! we purged the broken, useless greenhouse. So we are down another tiny house, haha. But DH made me furious in the process. I cleaned it...

Good for you! You have a good 15 more years to work, and you don't want that blackball status there.

I dont know what kokbucha is. Mead is like champaigne, dry and white with light bubble action. This homemase stuff has some cloudy junk floating...

Believe it or not, I actually have a bottle of mead cooling in our fridge right now. Homemade, with our apples and neighbor’s honey. It is a dry...

Oh praise the goddesses and happy dancing for all!

Yeah, I doubt you could turn down that assignment. That is bogus. And even if you had said you could not do it they would have marked this in the “ZG...

Ah, ok, thanks!

Zoe, I dont know what to say about defining limitations on your hours as you describe in post #12. On one hand, you are perfectly within your rights...

ok, they are separate from your HR department, but are they paid by your employer? By an insurance company? By a government entity? Or ? I ask...

From day one of her leave, she said she was off for 3 weeks. That is likely a standard absence prescribed by her physician for this sort of mental...

Oh I am just a little old librarian lady on a modest fixed income (doncha like me playing that victim role? Love my new freedom to be amoung the...

Who does “ employee health” in your context work for? I think it means someone from your employer’s Human Resources Dept. but am not sure.

+1

Your work “limitations” are defined by your Dr. , that is how it works. I would think that your physician would consult with your therapist and...

Oh I think Trump gets credit for the rising market because he is sitting int the seat. Some of the big jumps happened due to him just being who he is...

But catherine, who/what entity distributes the property that everyone has a fundamental right to own? It has to be the state, the gubmnt, right? ...

Ok, I’ll bite. Tell me what “distributism” means to you in the context you posted about if it is not about taking more money from those who have it...

I see no point to “An eye for an eye” justice carried out by me. I do, however, remove myself from those who do me harm for just about forever. My...

Oh Michelle Dockery, of course! She is far away from Downton Abbey. I know Pratchett is cool, just havent read any of them! Maybe one day.

This is making me crazy, who is that actress???!!

Super good news!

Ack! On another note, I found a pair of nice old french doors in our garage. dH drug them in from an alley. This makes for 3 sets of French doors...

Juicing obsession is stupid. Our bodies can process only X amount of each nutrient, so consuming 3X does no good. Otherwise, Sweetana made all my...

Haha, I do not remember how the grapes were pressed. i wasnt there for that activity.

Yes, I wondered about that too, but assume ZG is following the orders of her Dr. She already said her return is part time beginning this week, so we...

I hope you spend the next few weeks and months identifying professionals to work with you in your daily life. It is hard to find a therapist you...

It is winderful thatnit went well, hou feel you added value to the world, and you all enjoyed the class.

It is a grapevine, and we also have a bit of passion flower. One year we had one pressing of the grapes and made some very bad wine. But anymore...

we do not speak of that here. If we told you, we would have to kill you. By gun.

Times like this I wish I had a good camera and better knowledge of light. Here is a pretty corner of our community garden, and a better...
