If it sparkles - I'm there!

Whoa!!

Out of the loop on most threads.

I sure hope by now lots of things resolved.

I do agree with Lyn..sometimes when we push hard for a thing..deadline...task... when we come to the end we have to recharge mentally and physically.

I just spent an hour..Pulling skins off of slippery peppers that had been roasted AND stuffed...ugh... I know there is a better way...

I have to walk granddaughter to bus stop..across from woods...daughter tells me.."heads up" a black bear sometimes shows up....

HOW FAST CAN A 4 YEAR OLD RUN?.....
Listen kid it is every woman for herself!

Don't squat with yer spurs on!

People try to turn back their "odometers." Not me. I want people to know 'why' I look this way. I've traveled a long way and some of the roads weren't paved

Little bit grumpy - trying to hire someone to help Bob - guy says "sure I'm interested and will be there. 3 hours late - nope, not here and not answering phone or msgs.....
Friend said "let me post for you". SHE gets answers....... and now I'm waiting for his call........ how long does it take to dial a 10 digit #????????

I can assure you, a 4 yr, old can run faster than I can.

The reason it's so hard to lose weight when you get up in age is because your body and your fat have become good friends.

I'm sure a 50 year old could run faster than I can but on the other hand I've never encountered a bear.

I can't remember how fast I ran as a 50 yr. old. Probably not too fast even then.

I don't even remember running as a 50 year old. Frankly, I can't remember much about being 50.

I feel like pretty much anyone can run faster than me anymore... I have no idea what exactly has happened to my leg muscles! Fortunately, I can still plant, and weed, and clean out the garden...

I don't remember, Ken. I got it from you. I'll look at the tag when I go up in the g'house later. Maybe even take a pic. It will take away the grumpies for a "little" bit.

I would still like to mount it on a piece of cork. It is so tall and floppy...........it would give me a way to keep it more "upright".

Here are two "lime" ones, Anna, the Elmhurst (I have two in bloom right now) and the Emerald Isle. Yours is probably one of the two.

It's the Emerald Isle, Ken. I took pix, I'll post them over on the Orchids forum.

That's my customer's all-time favorite plant, Anna. I typically only have 1-2 of those available once every two years. I am always looking for more but never see them.

I'm grumpy b/c I'm hungry. On a clear liquid diet today in *prep*(

) for an OP procedure tomorrow. I woke up hungry and am still hungry. Drinking Gatorade & chicken broth like mad but the tummy is still grumbling.

The Lord created surgeons and they use His hands - you'll be fine and I'll be praying for you

I'm grumpy cuz the fellow we had here for a couple of hours helping Bob isn't answering his phone....... he's supposed to be coming until the job's finished........

Thanks Susan but it's not the procedure I'm worried about - it's just a colonoscopy. It's my tummy I'm worried about. I'm STARVING!!!!!

That guy hasn't called back YET?
