Jim, will say a prayer for your cousin.
Carol, I tell people I was named after Mary Poppins and they look at me... my own personal joke. (my mom liked Julie Andrews).
I have a namesake and we started a "Julie Club" she's 8, also likes to garden (that's part of being in the Club). I have to find a couple 'Dances with Julie' daylilies. Do you think now would be the time, or springtime?
300,000 plants we like to talk about
morning everyone. little slow today for some reason but here.
Good morning everyone. Back to work today for me. I need to figure a way to become independently wealthy, so I can be a lady of leisure whenever I want to. Ideas anyone???
Invent a cure for white flies, or something that sends slugs scurrying from the garden....grin Barring that, the lottery. grin
Good morning all. Hope the long weekend didn't wear everyone out.
Julie, you can plant day-lilies right now, as they will have a few weeks to get acclimated before cold sets in....just mulch them well.
thank you Moon. Have to find them first!
If you find a way Cat, please share. Busy day a head for me. Just like Willie Nelson, on the road again. Haven't heard from my cousin today. Thanks for the prayers and concern.
Of course I will share! AFTER I make my millions of course! :-)
Maybe I can just be your driver and carry you back and forth to the bank. I know you would pay well.
You're hired! Miniumum wage plus a lifetime supply of all caramel topping you 2 can use!! :-)
Got that. A job well worth having.
:-)
This is one of those "give me patience" days! I think everyone in the whole state just waiting on me to get back to dump problems on me!! :-)
Shades of Driving Miss Daisy....grin This one will be Chauffering Miss Cat in the caramel limosine.....grin
Hey, you have the disadvantage of coming back after a holiday Monday....folks had all weekend plus Monday to get cranked up....deep breaths and thoughts of caramel may help you keep from screaming OFF WITH THEIR HEADS....hope the day mellows out for you soon.
Moon
Might start a new trend if it is fuel efficient. Maybe how Cat is going to make her fortune. Caramel limo. 50 miles to the lick. A very fine car for people of taste.
Reminds me of a Captain Beefheart song...Lick my decals off, baby
(I am a seasoned traveler of the music genre jungles) LOL
Solve each problem in turn with a smile and make their day. "How does Cat do it." "So many problems and yet she leaves you feeling so good." Gosh, I wish I could be like her." I can hear them now extolling your virtues. Hang in there Cat. Momma said there would be days like to day. She just didn't tell us how many of them.
Moon, you are indeed a mess. Know Cat is cheered up now. We have both been working on her. I can see that big grin on her face. What a beautiful smile.
I can complain internally, but never out loud! :-) Good customer service!
I was off all last week too. That makes it even worse
Thanks you guys!! :-)
Just the Dynamic Duo trying to cheer our friend. It is always a pain to come back after vacation. Every where I worked there was always one or two that did ninty per cent of the work. The rest just draw a check. Oh well, my Dad always said I wasn't responsible for everyone else, just for me.
We have those here too Jim. I think they are everywhere! :-)
I try to stay upbeat and not let it get to me. Most of the time I'm a fairly positive person. Some days are just busier than others. And I can't complain anyway! Someone else had to cover my offices while I was gone.
Time for lunch. I think it will be a greasy cheeseburger today!!! LOL. Nothing like them for crazy hectic days!
A good cheeseburger can always make me smile....have a nice lunch break, Cat.
howdy everybody...oops hope I didn't knock anything over with my broom!
Cathy - customer service?? I have to do a portion of that in my job. Do you at least get to do it from the other end of the telephone? If not, then you deserve a title! Customer Service is a very tough job.
If it will make you feel any better, it sounds like we work in the same type of atmosphere.
Moon - Captain Beefheart? Are you a FrankFan as well?
Trina, I was beginning to worry about you. So what' up?
i'm curled up on the couch wishing they sold new bodies at Wal-Mart, Venice...blasted plants, blasted dog....my own fault
let's all take a silent moment to send healing thoughts to Trina's back. (I am assuming it's your back..)
I'll start... NOW
Watch out where the huskies go/Brown shoes don't make it Frank/fan...if so, then Yup, that would be me.
Trinia sorry you feel badly
Hi Venice.
Moon -every time I eat a tuna sandwich I sing "just a tuna sandwich in a wrapper-r-r-r-r-r".
Such an underrated composer.
did anyone see dovey's meadow maid in the garden art forum? she's awesome.
Trina, I said my prayers. hope you feel better.
I wish it was only back, then i could move...we have 2 decks at our house, 1 upstairs and it covers the one downstairs...I was on the upstairs deck trying to walk around all the boys blasted bike parts, moving house plants in and watering some others, I was on a step ladder watering some that hang over when the blasted puppy jumped on me...so I fell from the top deck to the bottom deck.....landed half on the deck and half in the pool...so I spent my day in the ER
I hurt in places I didn't even know I had!
Puppy didn't do it on purpose one of the bike frames fell over and scared the bejeebers out of both of us
Ahhhh! So sorry nothing cooperating with you. I just looked and they don't have any good bodies at Target either. They were all out!!!
Can you just put your dogs outside for a while?
I have an idea for your plants. Have someone put your plants lined up in the middled of the road. On each end of the line, have a sign that says "Free Plants to Good Home!"
Hope you are feeling better.
no no no no....not the puppy either, who aint up to par herself cause I was holding her when I fell...
Kill boys, make them move stupid bike parts to garage....how they got all those bikes up there I don't want to know!!!
about 20 frames, wheels out the wazoo!, and misc. parts everywhere...Dad went off!!!!
Oh my gosh! What a fall!!!!!!! I imagine you are severely bruised. Did the ER do anything to help you?
the ice/ heat thing and some vicodin...xrays...but I didn't break anything, just very very sore and bruised....on the plus side I didn't fall until after I got all the plants potted, and took some pics of rocks for lynnie
I hope he made all the kids move all the bike parts to the garage! Does the puppy walk ok? I, myself, hate to hurt and I know you are a real mess. I am sending only good thoughts your way!!!
just a little sore, mainly she just sits right next to me like she must play momma now....and oh yeah they got moved all right he started throwing them from the deck into the yard!
Glad you are all in one piece Trina and the pup too. Those things can be so scary.
scary, briefly....angry gonna last awhile!
