I agree Fran...that's a bit much...

Great to here about your brother 5....May he keep on keeping on....

Plants??? Ya'll wanna see a pic of mine????

surfed the Lowes site last night and looked at the vinyl that gave me problems...Bad review city...I asked the 17 year old vinyl expert if the remnant rolls were lay flat and he said they were...Well it lays flat but with waves and was made to be glued...I upgraded to true lay flat and happy to say it's FLAT!!!!!!!!!!! Toilet is back in after being back in before..Waiting on the tub...Also cut the grass....washed the mower and sprayed 10 million dandelions...

Dee, when I was in my early 20s I worked in a flooring store. As a junior sales person, I got the walk in small sales clients, and I used to get in trouble for refusing to push the vinyl remnants that wouldn't lay flat. The ends of the rolls would be taken off and sort of lazily rolled, which caused them to get the ripples in them. I would tell the DIYers in a heartbeat that they would have problems with those pieces, much to my boss's disdain :laugh: Glad you got your problem solved!

Katie spent a good hour outside sweeping those lil wing dings, then getting the dust pan to get them in the garbage! I would have blown them into a corner and sucked them up with the shop vac in about 10 minutes. Were it my house, I'd have left them be completely ;)

Aw thanks guys!
5c that IS cool that your brother is doing so well for 80. I'm happy to hear it! I talk to my loved ones who have passed, just silently when I'm out in public! Haha Makes me feel good and you're right, it doesn't hurt anyone. :)

Bov, those plants are gorgeous! I tried putting one of those polka dot plants in one of my terrariums, but they quickly wither. I'm trying to save it by transplanting into a regular pot. I suppose they need more circulating fresh air than a terrarium allows.

Lmao @ a bit much!!!......Bo shop vacc'ed my whole yard (not very big, but still) to rid us of those little helicopters from the neighbors blasted tree today!!! We hate them.

Tomorrow I need to clean the pond filter.

Pool has sprung a leak! It is the third year for this one and that's all the time they seem to hold up. We stopped the hose and marked the level. If its just a slow leak we may try and deal with it or patch it. If its too much water I will have to replace it.

Stay tuned.....

Oh no on the leak! Hope a patch will fix it!

LOL @ using the shop vac :lol: Before the grass came in good, I used mine to suck all the pea gravel that got tossed in it with the snow shovel...worked great. Just emptied it back into the drive.

I don't know much about taking care of the polka dot plant, Katie picked it out. Maybe I should look it up.

I've seen a photo of a young Bonivia, and I suspect the clients--if you were leading them--were far too preoccupied with the ripples in your ... to take notice of those in the vinyl remnants. Only Pokey's south-of-the-Equator pole dance would exceed yours.

These matters noted, what's up--if anything--on the Envy? Will the FDA's pre-2007 cutoff kill it?

Morning all, and Happy Memorial Day!

PI, the last I heard from Mike, he was having issues with his PCB manufacturer. I know that he received a batch of PCBs that were not up to his specs, and the fight with them hasn't been resolved. I really don't know where it goes from here.

I suppose you meant your comment to be a compliment, but TBH I find it distasteful and insulting to Pokey and myself :(

Good morning, Peeps. I hope that everyone is having a nice Memorial Day weekend. :)
Doubtless some of us are. Among that few, at least a handful are taking a closed-eye moment to observe the actual purpose, to spit the beer and hot dog out of their mouths long enough to visualize the lives of those lives not lived, of stories cut violently short at Omaha beach or Kasserine pass or Okinowa.

What if they hadn't fought? What if a clear-cut evil hadn't been removed?

What courses of history were diverted by the fact that they did, and died? What blue-eyed children weren't born? What perverse an Earth would we wake up to, had they?
