Random DIY mixing and More

[*RJ*]

Someone was asking about pictures of the landscaping. Anyway here it is. My wife is going to add flowers.

The tree was a little two foot reject when we planted it years ago. Now it’s about 20-25 feet tall. The bushes are small to start but will get much bigger. We used to have a ground cover bush on each side but I cut them out since they were about half dead.

That's sharp! Good job @hittman ! What kind of bushes are they? I still haven't redone my landscaping in the front of my house...and I still haven't had the two viburnums cut down which I need to do first. Maybe next year. I kind of like having nothing out there. But I'm going for zero maintenance plantings, well besides putting down pinestraw.

Being back at work SUCKS! I'm distracted, office manager won't quit knocking on my door, the back door and restroom door are right by my office and it's constantly being opened and closed. I'm so distracted. I can already tell I will not be as productive being here. I'm not seeing the 6 foot rule being followed. Office manager is not wearing her mask correctly. I can tell they just don't care.

Do not get me started on the state of the microwave. I refused to use it and went down the hall to use another department's microwave. It's so gross! Big chunks of food and splatters everywhere. And that is why I bought a small one for my office, which is now at home. I cleaned that microwave for the last time a few years ago. NASTY! I wonder if these people ever clean their stuff at home? Makes ya wonder.

Did you file them online or mail them in? An actual HRBlock rep told me they are being deposited within 8 days if done electronically. Normally I have to wait forever for my state but I noticed it has also been deposited.

I use h&r block online....and I was wrong it's been 2 months...filed sometime late feb...
my state I got on March 9th but federal still hasn't been processed.
just checked the status today and finally it says that the refund was approved and I should have my money by the 5th or the 10th.... 2 1/2 - 3 months....that's crazy, usually it's only a matter of weeks maybe at most a month before.

I got my BCF order today. Now I need to get my lazy rear end in gear and do some mixing.

Ha... I can vape coffee mixes again. I got burnt out on them a few years back and had to stop.

Digging this KISS mix. Good after 6 days steeping.

FA Cappuccino 0.75%
SSA Tiramisu 0.25%
FLV Cream 0.5%

Working on mixing some other coffee juices next.

Good afternoon Folks

Ran a bunch of errands and did some grocery shopping. Cutting the grass next, hopefully before it starts raining. Then it's time to relax.

They are called Mugo pine bushes. They were on sale at a Sutherlands hardware store in the garden center. They were having a 50% off sale a couple weekends ago so got them for $17.50 each. They can get a kind of big but you can trim them however you want. Should be low maintenance and maybe need trimming once a year. Once the maple seedlings stop falling in our front yard then we'll need new mulch for out there. My wife said that you can have someone come and treat the maple tree so it doesn't drop those things all over the place. This is the most we've ever had. I've swept them up four times already from the driveway.

My son must have heard me typing here about ...lazy kids ...yard work because yesterday he spent half the day cutting grass and clearing the many neglected tree sprouts and overgrowth. I was like it looks fabulous! He took pictures with his phone to show me how nice everything looks now bless his heart. He even tackled Old Rosie my 15+ year old David Austin New Dawn climbing rose who had gone wild escaping her trellis over the past few years. He showed me her attacks on his arms to prove it.

Oh, you lucky duck to have such a rose. So beautiful and so fragrant. Well worth the gouges.

She is better but won't eat so will lose weight rapidly. Thanks for asking.

Is she able to drink water? Would she consider a chicken-and-rice porridge, or would even that be too hard on her poor guts?

I'm so sorry this is happening to the two of you. I'll be thinking of you both.

I could easily see people being careful at home--where they know they're the ones who'll be dealing with any mess--and utter slobs at work.

Thank you.

I am afraid to give her anything right now. She doesn't do well with any food other than low fat gastrointestinal Royal Canin. Wish the vert hadn't decided she needed to change to the Hydrolized Protein one.

Oh Rose! I'm so sorry about your little baby. Do not hesitate to take her .... back to the vet for an IV or something to sustain her. She may need fluids. I'm hoping she starts feeling better.

Thanks, I am waiting to see how today goes. I am very leery of trying a new vet and certainly won't go back to the one we saw on Friday.

Yeah, I can see why you'd be leery.

Why did the vet try to fix something that wasn't broken, anyway?

We all know who it is...our immediate boss. He's a slob. I bet his wife has a time with him. The microwave is so bad I consider it a health hazard. Chunks of food that have been there a long time, a portion of a box stuck to the turntable and you could read the back label, splatters covering everything. BLECK!

Birthday party one down. It was just a small lunch party. Next birthday is my oldest gd in 2 days. We’re not expected to attend any party due to Covid . I just send my gift.

 

[rosesense]

Because I made the mistake of telling her she weighed 35 lbs at the last visit a little over a year ago and on Friday she only weighed 20 lbs. Before the vet years ago figured out what was wrong with her and got it under control, she was down to 7 lbs, skin over a skeleton. So weight loss is worrisome.

 

[FranC]

I’m too tired now. I should mix but just don’t feel like it.

 

[Mowgli]

Bummer.

I think they meant paying for expedited will not decrease processing time but whatever.

 

[NolaMel]

It's a good idea in theory. One question is I can't tell how big the compartments are. Would you be able to fit a 30ml bottle in one? Or just the smaller 10ml?

It’s foam , so I could make any bottle fit I think. Still trying to decide if I can give up a drawer. Each section holds 63 bottles, so the 4 pack would be enough for the major groups.
