Kassy, pretty flowers on the lattice!

Well, it is time for me to head to bed.

So 'night Trina & Kassy. Whenever you head to bed, have a sweet sleep!

Hi everyone, sorry I missed you, I guess I'm still worn out from the weekend...lol...fell asleep early, going back to sleep! :)
'Night!

night Venice Night Lynnie...I just got back and swung by McDonalds...chupacabra trying to steal my fries!

share trina ;-)

with me that is

Beautiful!
(waterdrops)

Good night everyone..
Dream Well.

Well trina, you know how I like to take pictures?
One of the TV stations here is having a contest and asking for pictures...............Here I go .............woo hoo :-)

Thanks seedtosser, nite

oh Kassy that sounds like fun and I'd share my fries with you if I could! LOL

this is a cross stitch pattern I am starting

Wow Pretty,
Hey, I though you were going to quit smoking..........see how I picked up on that..........LOL

yes I am...I started the Chantix this morning..they say to start takingit 1 week before your quit date..My official....oh hubba hubba...sorry Blake Shelton was on TV....anyway my official quit date is next tuesday but they seem to already be working, because I usually smoke 2 1/2 packs a day and today I've only smoked 1. For the first time since I started smoking (at age 12) I ate a meal and didn't just have to have a smoke right after it!

wow where did everybody go? Am I all alone in here?

no, i'm still here, but confused

I'm trying to figure out how my nephew managed to send me an e-mail with a link in it, went the messenger that I have him on shows that he is sleeping...............hmmmmmmm, strange. I don't think I will be touching that link!

uhm because on messenger you can set it so to everyone else it looks like your sleeping or offline...so you can surf uninterupted

Yes, but I messaged him and he did not respond, and he always does.

He had some problems with his computer before. Every time he came on line it sent me an on line message with a site.
I e-mailed him them and told him to check his computer over really good.

in that case I definately would not click on the site then...so how are you tonight other than confused?

Tired!
But I have to stay up because I go back to work tomorrow night and want to be able to sleep tomorrow.

I know that feeling1
ever heard of a cactus called Prickly pear?

alright I have to go to bed its 2 am...night Kassy!

nite trina, i'll hold down the fort for a while ;-)

Sure I can help with Datura & Passiflora. Where's the photos; what's the question?

Yes trina, prickly pear cactus jelly is great ^_^
trina, my oldest bother live in AZ and had cactus all over his yard.
And my mom had a cactus bed that was planted outside every spring and dug up again and brought back in every fall. She did have some prickly pears that wintered out though on the south side of the house.
I have one of hers, a peanut cactus.

so many posts.. so little time...

Lynnie, you up? Should be, after all that sleep! I know how that goes - I've missed many an ending to a movie or TV show.

Kassy shouldn't have any problem winning that contest, don't you think?

hi Smiley I'm up!
Kassy's a good bet for the contest.
G'morning, everybody!

good morning

wow everybody's already up and gone?

my little mini orange roses just hanging out

'M HERE BUT i'M AT WORK. dOING ICE MELT QUOTES, OF ALL THINGS!! Oops, sorry about that. Our accounting program is all in CAPS, it sucks to constantly switch back & forth. I do some online work also, and with DG as my home page it's hard to avoid.

I love mini roses!! I have a yellow one and a red one.

Have a good day!

Morning trina, lynnie, smiley, kassy, Dave

Trina glad to hear the chantix is working, my brothers GF got hypnotized and quit.

Kassy just send them that pic of yourself its a winner. lol

Looks like its going to be nice today so I hope to get lots done outside. Found out lady on corner wants all her hostas dug up, think I'll go get them and plant them under trees at friends house.
Weeded there yesterday some more and where I thought ther were rocks it was all flagstone or somethng like it. All those weeds had come through the cracks between the stones. Told them I was going to steal them and let the weeds grow back they would never know. lol

Smiley my posts look like that half the time but mine is due to I always hit the caps lock and don't notice. lol

When I was weedeing at friends, under the evergreen bushes it looks like 3 small lily plants.
Is that possible there is no sun under there?

Trina, found a fact book on flowers and such. Passiflora (Passion flower) info says: sow in spring 65 to 70deg F. 3 to 4 " stem cuttings in summer.When rooted give weak feed till winter then keep fairly dry. Pot in early spring. Partial sun. Keep moist in summer nearly dry in winter maintain humidity,8"pot. Fast growing climber. Prune hard in early spring,cut side shoots from base and look out for spider mites. Anything else? Bring it on lol

Get to play hockey with the little umbrellas in my yard today (mushrooms) If ya want em Kassey, better get over here quick. Good morning all hope sunshine is headed your way.

julie in the mini's I have the following

The orange one up there (sorry I don't know it's name)
Sugar Plum (purplish fades to dark pink)
Blue Moon (Lilac)
Lavender Lace (very pale lilac)
Green Ice (starts out with a hint of pink in the bud, starts to open white, then has a pale green tint to it)
a red and white striped one
2 different red ones (a dark red and a lighter red)
Pink pincushion fairy rose (pale pink)
another pink cushion of some sort (medium pink)
Antique rose (a mild pink)
and another one thats kinda of a pink/lilac color

If you (or anyone else) wants some cuttings now...or rooted ones in the spring (for those who have trouble rooting them) Just let me know via dmail!

and Flowers thanks for the info on the passies, but I grow mine in the house apparently I am the only freak on DG who does that, cause I got in argument with a guy on the passie forum who said it was impossible and kept arguing with me until I posted pics of my passies..in the house and in bloom...then he shut his mouth

see my one passie (no longer in bloom though)

I'm picturing the hockey in my mind, Flowers. Too funny.

Anyone think acupuncture will work for smoking? I can do that with my health insurance plan.

I have know a couple people who done that and stopped. My brothers GF was one of them.

Trina if you don't want fancy pkgs. for your seeds you an take a notepad (7X4) and fold it almost in half, turn sides over and tape, turn down top for flap opening. Not fancy but quick and easy.


edited to say your and not our seeds.( not taking any credit for your seed collecting)

My sister did the acupuncture thing and it worked for her

i may do that to sore some for my self so they don't mold in ziplocks JJ thanks

Good Morning!

JJ, lol you had me giggling out loud...lol 10 years to answer!
Awe, your little man is just adorable.

Ohhhh, nice to see you all craft and sew too.
I usually pick it up more in the winter, lol it's my gotta watch sports relief!
Just made my first real quilt this past year, whew...was suppose to be one of those weekend projects,
roflol, took me a almost 2 months! I really had fun with it though.

Trina, that is going to be very pretty cross stitch! Is that a bag of feathers behind it? What you got planned for that!
Well i love to embroider, again mostly winter activity...Here is what I have been working on...it's for my nephew...will be doing Raggedy Ann for his twin sister...LOL, they might get it by time they graduate eighth grade, lolol.

OK ...check in later, hope you all share your crafts and projects too.

Well girls, I did hipnosis, chantix, and even tried cold turkey. I think the bottom line is you just have to want to quit and do it. I never did want to bad enough. Its all in the willpower. Guess you proved him wrong Trina, that is a beautiful plant and you have the perfect lighting conditions for growing in your big house. Of course none of this takes place without the knowdledge you have aquired.
