More Seed Snatchin' (Part II)

Stop it Weezingreens! You are making it SO hard for me to work!!! :-) Can't stop giggling to myself either!!!!

The thought of Tazzy - hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!

If you knew Tazzy,
like I know Tazzy
Oh, oh, oh what a gal!!

(ya'll got me "breaking out in song")

I met her at the KYRU and believe me, police would never think about "taking her in", more likely they would end up helping her get whatever it was, she was after. lol lol lol

(Sleep deprivation here!!!)

Oh lordee, have mercee on us .. Weezin'

We're having waaaay too much fun here!

Makes me not want to leave work in 7 minutes to go home!!! 4PM here...

"Sister, Ava was "Oh God" ing while I was one handing the Sanseverectomy! LOL LOL ROTFL"

(Part of my posting disappeared because of the extra characters I included. I'll try again)

So those who saw you thought your medicine made you "feel good" but actually it was the sight of a snatchable "pup", what a powerful drug this " snatching" is!!!

Your doctor was takin' credit but the credit actually belonged to the "hospital's gardener"

lol lol lol

Yep, I'm right-handed, luckily (they took the left one off), I never had pain or loss of movement during the healing, so there I was (the day after the surgery) telling Ava to stand there blocking the view, whilst I rescued that pup and took him home...LOL
The other Carol

Carol, I swear you'd be grabbing for seeds and snips from your hospital gurney!

Carol, I'm going to have the other one (breast) removed next month and I want to keep the skin... I don't smoke so a tobacco pouch is out of the question. Maybe a seed collecting bag... hmmm
It'd reach from my chest to my knees, so I could put a lot of packets in it. Wonder what the policy is for keeping body parts removed in surgery...
the other Carol
Really, I'm serious about keeping the part.

The Other Carol..... I can say this cause I've had body parts removed....GROSS!! I have never even understood people wanting to keep their kidney stones, much less skin, so take a shot at explaining it to me.

Judy

Maybe you better do it in a private email or we'll probably "kill this thread" and it definitely is too much fun to do that!!!!

Judy

Judy, just jokin' with Weez. We get waaaayyyy out of line when we visit each other in person. Didn't mean to offend. LOL We'll keep it lighter, don't make us go away.... Pleeezzzz

Gosh I thought maybe you had snatched one too many seeds or something!!! Much relieved that it was a JOKE!!!! lol lol Judy

I guess I shouldn't mention wanting my ashes spread on the compost pile when I die... LOL! I guess we Alaskans are a pretty crude bunch!

Ah, well, back to the seed snatching! I noticed some dahlias down at the American Legion. They don't winter over, so I had my DH mention that to the Commander, and he said I could have them... tomorrow, I'm going down to dig them up and winter them over in the basement... Carol... don't you dare dig em up first!

Oh no it's a Carol scrappin' seed snatchin'!!!!

Hey! Where is everyone this morning!! Don't make me WORK for crying out loud!!

Sorry, NC, I got busy cutting and pasting seed packets in front of the television. Finally got dressed, made the bed, and got on Dave's. Otherwise I'd be here in my nightgown again! LOL!

Oh - you were doing actual gardening??? LOL

Having swept the floor, I can honestly say I was working the soil! I even watered the dishes and weeded the mail.

hee hee!! I have about a million Rose of Sharon babies to plant today that were generously given to me in a trade!! It's just so WET here - it's been raining all week. Don't really want to suffocate them.. I am sure I can find more seeds to snatch though.... :-) Guess I could probably weed the house a bit myself - there are always plenty of weeds to pull with the little one running around!

It's "The Invasion of the Seed Snatchers"!! Your all a bunch of clepto's! Ashamed at ya all! Unfortunately the groundskeepers have passed by the malls and beet me to the punch after the first frost. I was on my very own seed snatchin' mission....darn it all!

Kay, lolol!! Glad to see everyone carrying on, or is it carrying off?

I want a t-shirt that says "Dave's Garden Kleptobotanic on the loose"
OR Dave's Garden Invasion of the Seed Snatchers" I like that one, Kayaker.
I'm sure we could think up all kinds of titles.

Great Idea for a shirt..I have found this old gas station that is shut down and it has a lot of great plants just left to die and I am trying to figure out how I can snatch a few without to much attention...it was hard to leave them there but I am coming up with a plan since there is a phone booth there also I can pretend i am using the phone and snatch a few plants and hope so one will notice..Am I bad????????
But I got all my ideas from you so I can blame my kleptomaniac on Dave's

Back of the T-Shirt:

ROFL!! Love it.

Our county was a teensy bit broke one year, and they actually fired the county gardener who trims up the roses (about an acre of them) and mows the lawns at the old historical county buildings. It was during my potpourri stage, so what better way to collect rose petals then to volunteer to trim the county roses? I kept saying "No, thanks" when some one asked if I wanted them to take the garbage bags to the dumpster, but worse were the people who kept coming up to ask what I did to have to do community service! (We put alot of light weight offenders to work the county properties.) I vowed next time we would wear t-shirts that loudly said, "VOLUNTEER." I always meant to go back, but on a seed stealing mission while I was trimming. Love those ziplocks.

Now that would be a great conversation starter........and a good way to get recruits from your area. Who knows how many seeds and plants you might end up with......Oh the possibilities!

VS: Consider a magnetic sign for your vehicle door that says 'Acme Landscaping & Gardening'. Just stick it in the trunk for those unplanned opportunities to dig or snip. The secret is to look like you belong there...no furtive glances over your shoulder, no voluntary explanations to anyone... wear garden gloves and a hat that somewhat obstructs your face. Look busy, look bored... it's your job, etc., etc. Works every time!

Hey, Anne, we've got the same problem around here... if a conscientious neighbor decides to pick up trash along the roadside, it's assumed he's working off some court ordered public service. If a grown man rides a bicycle, he must have gotten a D.U.I. Pretty funny! By the same token, a fat middle-aged woman with her hands in the flower beds and her butt in the air must either be a grounds keeper or she's nuts. Either way, they leave me alone!

Ha ha Weez! That's like at work, if you go to lunch with someone of the opposite sex you're sleeping with them! HA! Lord knows what they think about me! Not that I care!

Hey, the t-shirt idea is an awesome one.. Only I have a TON of t-shirts, I would like some sort of golf shirt or t-TYPE shirt that is cotton and casual but not a t-shirt - so I could wear it to work! Wonder if Dave would laugh at us if we asked for a DG clothing line? Wouldn't that be a fun thing?

Out to snatch some more red castors (from my own yard.) Going to a Halloween party tonight - shall see what they have in their yard!!!

Yup, one of those polo ones with a collar or something

LOVE RikerBear's wording!!!!!

'Course it's GOTTA have on of those 'kangaroo' pocket things on the front (for those of us without the useful prosthetic LOL)

You've all got me laughing so hard. Thanks a million

Do NOT get me started on t-shirts, more than has already been done. I WILL own the one that simply says "NO" someday.

"Too many seeds, too little time"
" Arctostaphylos are us"
"Anisodontea anyone?"

Love the "Invasion of the Seed Snatchers". and Bear's "If Found..." Anyone in DG planning a get together? Heh...heh...

Weez, love the sign idea, too. Absolutely perfect! I like it when they leave me alone. LOL!! Actually, I scare them off. Now does this LOOK like a seed snatcher, I ask you?

My gawd, Cherish came out of the closet and posted a picture of seeds, openly admitting she snatched them on the ID forum!! ROFLMAO!!

Ladyannne... that picture puts a whole new meaning to the term 'Grim Reaper'! LOL! Good ol' Cherish, out of the closet! Most of us just say we collected the seed and forgot to mark the container, but in reality, most of us never saw the plant in bloom!

Heh..heh...best 79 cents I EVER spent. That's what the nose cost years ago. Wish I had bought more. Ah, marking seeds. Not going there either. Nope.

I have about 5 'what the heck am I' seed containers... not from snatching, but just because my ego said my sharp as a tack brain would remember what they were! No fool like an old fool.

Ah...rule #64. No matter what, no matter how tired you are, no matter how you get distracted, no matter how many times you think you will remember, thou SHALT label your seeds.
