Definitely actual notes in my opinion because this is a formal thank you and not a social something with friends and family. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say in this case a paper note would be best, especially if it involved personal meetings and interviews, etc. Though I am not really up-to-date on matters of modern etiquette.

Critterfixer Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 It's funny, but insomnia no longer bothers me. It bothers every other person I know. I don't like it, because I know I'll be tired and I can't nap, but it's not so bad to be able to get up and do some writing and thinking at odd hours. Good thing, I guess. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 Good morning! Does anyone else have an annoying purple "feedback" tab sticking to the side of the forum screen? Today Dd12 and I will plant our zucchini, tomato, and dill plants. And the lupine. Not sure where to plant the dill - it's kind of a big herb and won't fit in my little herb planter.

Susan in TN Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 Nope. I clicked on a face and it just stayed there. So I clicked on the hotjar thing and that brought me to a website.

Critterfixer Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 About 500 words writ, a couple of craft things to discuss with my agent. I'm such a difficult writer sometimes, but I do try! It's just with much flopping, thrashing, and having to figure out something that can straddle the gap between plotting out everything to the nines and absolute freewheeling, my preferred operating mode. Boys have finished school, and we are supposed to go help with bees, plus I'm juggling some reading and coaching writers at present. Remind me when I bring it up: Say, Critter, you do not want to be a mentor. You just don't. You will hate it. It hurts your heart and your head. Who wants to be in charge of talking me down from the ledge if I get that opportunity at some point? Anybody? 🤣 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 We've planted 6 tomatoes, 6 zucchini, 6 dill, and 1 lupine. My back deck garden is looking less like a neglected trash heap and more like a deck garden. I also planted my stolen lavender. I'm not expecting it to do well, but hope springs eternal. The cilantro is looking worse. Might have to give up on growing it here. The biggest news concerns Lynette, who I had given up for dead last month, but this week I found three tiny sprouts coming out of her bare trunk. We'll see if I can keep her happy. 8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the Caesar's Brothers irises have flower buds this year! I'm so excited! The lady who used to own this house overdosed on the bulbs. I have a bunch of irises, but they aren’t blooming. I need to dig them up, separate and replant. There’s all kinds of other stuff coming up, too. It is driving me crazy. I love me a few clumps of Dutch irises or tuplips here and there, but this is worse than the Zombie Apocalypse. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
