KrissiK Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 Good Morning!!! COFFEE!!~D Humph Day!! Servie, how are the babes?? How are you?? Did you get some sleep? Yay, Susan!! Hope you get everything done before you leave. Say “hi” to the Queen for me. I generally have a bad track record with house plants, but I have been making an effort with the ones I got when Dad died. I have a problem with overwatering and I love the peace lily because it so delicately droops when it needs water. Then I water it and it perks back up. It’s nice when they tell you these things and you don’t have to guess. Work today. Things are winding down. I have a couple of phone calls to make and a Zoom meeting with a “new to me” family. It’s gonna be hot ☀️☀️🔥🔥🔥, too, but not over 100 degrees yet. That’s coming. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dianthus Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 I like cut flowers that occupy table space briefly. I don't like plants (or bugs) inside and may have deliberately killed some so they depart sooner. I figure they will die anyway, and once the flowers fall off the mini rose bush, I don't want it. However, someone gave me a lovely orchid about 3 weeks ago and I'm being very careful to keep this alive. It's still so pretty. I wonder how long the flowers stay on. I was told to only water about 1/4 cup once a week with bottled water. I've given a bit more because it's so hot and dry right now. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dianthus Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 (edited) Shop po Where should I buy collared shirts for ds10? I am not finding much at all at normal places I shop online, carters, kohls, target, jcpenney, lands end. So weird I can't find much. Something like 20 options from the big stores, then nearly all colors he would hate. I would like to buy all from one place to reduce shipping, not one shirt from each store.

Critterfixer Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 Petition to call any time I take an Epsom salt bath "marinating in the brine."

Critterfixer Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 I have an incredibly busy day ahead. Blueberries need to be picked this morning, the boys are already out doing pumpkin pollination (the bees would do it, but this is for seeds), then I have to go to town and get some insulin syringes for the dog, then go help a friend move, then get a haircut, and then I think I'm allowed to read and rest for the remains of the day. I might brine. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green Bean Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 Morning! IKEA returns and hopefully buying a new bed. Thankfully, we kept out old mattress while testing out the Casper!

Junie Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 I don't have back pain, but I do have pain pretty much everywhere else. I remember one time that we had to spend the night in a hotel. I was very pregnant and had to share a queen bed with two of my girls -- and I got such a good night's sleep. When I woke up in the morning I felt rested! When I got up, I actually unmade the bed so I could see what kind of mattress I had been sleeping on. :) It was a Tempur-pedic. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was another thread recently in another part of the sea where those of us with fibromyalgia talked about how we can't turn over on a tempurpedic bed. But it's a specific condition and was not a problem shared by people who don't have our condition. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We just concluded that they only sell those kind to hotel chains and not to the general public. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
