A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The Banter Hall Coffeehouse 2087

Good morning

Jiffy - I'm glad you all are safe and sound. Sorry to hear about the building - was everyone ok there?

Rachel - sounds like the boys are having a great time, but I'm so sorry that you are having such a hard time.

I'll just copy from Lynne--she said it perfectly aready--so i am not going to try to improve on the thought---ditto from me.

all accounted for in the tornadoes. there was one injury at the same time, but it was minor and we don't know if it was the tornado or a coincidence.

a total of 3 buildings, (2 homes) leveled and damage to another 8-9 more. 13 of the overhead high wire power service transmission towers down. but i'm ok, and i was one of the first with power back on.

getting ready to run some errands in a bit.

Hey Jiffy I just wokeup.My mom is making breakfast;pancakes,eggs,& some hot cocoa.

eat some for me enrique.

we had a bad storm last night. A big tree limb is layiing in our driveway struck by lightening.

breakfast sounds good enrique.

Glad to hear you're o.k. Jiffy.


Sheri, glad you had no damage anywhere.

Just came back, spent the morning at grandmas's doing housework....wish she'd boot out her 'never leaving' sons though. Looking after little kids would be easier than spoiled men.

it is, tamara, it is.

oh wow friday night I woke up twice to that wind sounding like it was taking the roof off...and saturday morning we got up with tin all over the yard, it came off one of these old houses

Wind's strong enough here to blow the roof off barns(about 40-50mph).

wow. tornado? or just heavy wind??

Hello everyone! As of today i have 9 roses! 5 climbing roses 4 of them from cuttings, one hybrid tea rose or maybe its a floribunda ill have to recheck.... and then i got 2 pink rose cutting today i found the bushes abandond on my walk so i went back with my pruners and got me some cuttings, then also i ran into another abandond house with a rose hedge so i got a cutting off of that.... Im soo happy! btw all the cuttings are sending out new shootes except for the ones i got today....

Hey toposh,my rose shrub is THRIVING! It's growing biger & i cant wait for its flowers to bloom!

wow, you're good with those cuttings

Every time i take a cutting it dies on me! I cant buy rooting hormone powder because i can't afford it.

Do you cut it properly? cut it at a 45 degree angl make sure their is at least at least 6 to 8 sets of leaves pull the bottm leave off and also the thorns and just stick it in sand or perlite in the sun if you put it in a pot of perlite to root just put it in the the same way and cover it and stake it with plastic put it in a shadey but warm spot outside in the garden... it's very simple... same thing with my other plants i get from cutting i just stick them in the sand... OHHH I do add one thing to my beds every coupld weeks and stuff its a lilttle marvelous thing that is called epsom salt they help things germinate and root and it feeds them... ill send u detailed instuctions on how to root a rose later on tonight its a lot to type.... i want pics of ur rose when it blooms! peeeaaassse

Hi all,
I am tired this evening... we brought all my Mom's stuff over yesterday, clothes, bedding- papers... it filled up the pickup truck- some of the clothes dated back to when I was 13 or so... I spent this morning with Carrie going thru it and trashed some- put some aside for donation- then sorted it all to wash... my sis supposedly washed it but no way was it clean... I washed it all today- got last load in dryer now...had to go buy hangers to hang it all up.. but it is almost all done now... room is ready for her too- got a new bed yesterday too.. got new bedding cause her sheets were to dirty to use- even after I washed them... got her a new pillow too- hers fell apart was about 30 yrs old I think.. I put my glider rocker in there for her cause her recliner at my sis's was to dirty to bring here- we have a tv for her and the vcr,dvd player too.. got a new lamp for her too- do have to get a bookcase for her books and tapes to go in... but that can wait till later..
My kids have been really helpful the last 2 weeks- helping me sort stuff- driving me over to get stuff.. grocery shopping... my son went and got the new bed so I wouldn't have to pay to have it delivered , he figured out how to put a new bannister up too and hooked up our water filter and a hand held shower for my Mom too... he even painted the bannister to match our existing ones too.. looks like it was always there.
Well I have to go take a hot bath now and hopefully soak some of the soreness out of my back.. fold that last load of clothes and put that away and I am done till tomorrow...
Nana

Nana you sure have been one busy lady, and a wonderful daughter---Sleep well.

nana, you've had it today and the last 2 weeks! but i'm glad it's all coming together for you.

Well everyone I think I am going to call it for today. I am tired & I have a full week ahead.

Today I told the girls Easter was here, so then I invited my Mom & dad as Rods mom will of course be here--well now I should invite my brother---and then---I get a phone call & my nephew, his wife & 3 kids are gonna come & stay with us Easter Monday night & the following Tuesday.--

Can you say--------"My house is not clean????" cause I sure can !!!

Anyway some sleep is in order
--so I have the energy to do what I can & make a list for DH so he can do what I cannot do.
Sweet Dreams

g'night carol jean. sleep well and wake rested.

calling it a night myself.

I'm going to hit the hay.

I hope everyone had a good nights rest. What I had was good, but I would always like more is seems.
After all why would one WANT to get out of a comfortable, warm place like bed???

Well I guess everyone is busy or not awake yet---(congrats if you are sleeping)

I have to go & start my busy day---got to go to my Physical Therapy appt. then I get to go to lunch with Valarie. I also have lots of phone calls to make & future appointments to make.

Everyone enjoy this "green" day!!!

Yes another busy day for me as well. I have my usual school runs to do and then business stuff to take care of (all that stuff to do with changing my name). A little shopping to tuck in there somewhere. But no Dr appointments. That makes it feel like a holiday.

Hello all.

Well, no one is around I see.


I've got to get a start on supper....besides I am making baked beans and need to check on them, back later.

Hi back to rest myself a little- hubby is home- now Doc wants him to have an MRI thinks it's coming from his back .... now we just have to wait for docs to call to set it up.... more waiting... got my downstairs done completly- Timba still feels like frowing up as they call it so we are just doing water for him- he is resting- other two I gave their cold med and they are asleep now- got Nicoli's underwear in dryer- only had 2 accidents but I only have 5 pair of underwear here so thought I better wash and dry some while he had the pullup on for the nap...
Sun is out now- snow will melt quickly now- really didn't want it to be icy/slushy for Mom to get around tomorrow... still haven't called me back to confirm that she does have a pass ... been 4 hours in a few minutes since I called... very frustrating when they don't return calls..
Well kitchen won't clean itself- need to do the fridge,stove. and the floor- put stuff away that ended up here in the moving of stuff, then mop the floor too, one more thing off my list...
Nana

You are so busy, Nana. I feel like a total lazy bones next to you. I got a lot done today myself. It all happened with a lot of waitng in lines. I try to avoid DMV as much as possible but one of today's errands demanded my presence. A couple other lines and my body is ready for a nap.

DMV is the worst Tina!! That is one place I always dread going....that and the post office!

I hate going and ours is not that bad anymore because they allow you to re new on line now.

But I still hate going

I can do most things at the auto club much more easily than dmv. But I can't change my name anywhere else except there.
