Slump Down In Your Chair & Tell Me All About It..... Part 2

Continued from this thread: http://davesgarden.com/forums/t/508291/

I started off attempting to recap the former thread but 'gave up' you'll just have to read it for yourself. However the below is how I started the thread rolling:
----------------------------------

Have you ever thought about receiving professional help? I tried to make an appointment for PA, Plant Addiction, but I never even got the opportunity to speak with a counselor. The appointment clerk asked, “are you a member of an online gardening website”. I truthfully answered, “yes, but only one, Dave’s”. Then she asked the average number of new plants I added per week, either by rooting, seed germination or purchasing. Doing my best to calculate quickly, I asked, if one of the dogs breaks off a limb and I stick it in dirt, does it counted? She promptly replied, "according to our new Plant Addiction Profile Software, you can't be helped" and the phone went silent.

With this new profile software in place, we have no choice but to try to “help” each other, so slump down in your chair, relax all parts of your body except your fingers and tell me all about it

……. maybe we can work a Trade!!!

I been figurin' on it all night and have came to the conclusion that moderation is the key to recovery...... so for all of you who have an excess of one type of plant, what you need to do is SEND THEM TO ME!!!!

i'll refill slim jims box and send it back to you, lol .......with slim jim still inside, but i'll toss a mouse in just for the ride. you know how bad airplane food is, lol

That box will be sure to get an inspectors attention!!!

"is there anything perishable, liquid, fragile or otherwise hazardous?"...hehe, only to judys health, lmao
gonna use the same box, just retape and stick a new label on it so it looks like youre sending it to yourself (giggle). for your sake it sure hope it doesnt get lost ; )

Jen, I can't believe I did this this morning, but I was pulling weeds still in my sleepshirt. Went out to look at something for a second and got sidetracked. I live on a major highway, but kinda partially blocked with azaleas/trees near road. I finally told myself I had to go get dressed before someone showed up in my yard. I don't usually go out like that. But I do have some jeans with a hole on the backside that I usually forget and wear all over town, sometimes the shirt may cover it. And yes, I admit to being just as plant crazy as the rest of you. It never ends. I think DH has finally given up.

I got into the Contractor's truck on Friday afternoon to go to Home Depot for yet another batch of dirt for the raised bed. As I got in, I realized I'd been working all morning in my jammy bottoms! I was like, Hey, Loren - weren't you even going to mention this? He mumbled something about eccentricities - cute - who'd know - whatever... Oy...

And I left without buying one plant!!!

Sequee - if I woke up to the fact that I was in the contractors truck and still had on my PJ bottoms, I don't think I would have bought a plant much less gotten out of the truck at Home Depot.

lol lol

MSJen - Fooled you I guessed what the Twister pants were... I'm not totally clueless!!!

excuse the coffee splash and dirt...been playing outside already, lol Please dont ever let me move to the city, lol

lol lol .... no shoes???

of course not, there in the car : )

they're, lol

One more confession then I'm off to bed for awhile... did a little too much yesterday..

DH and I were at a restaurant and the hanging plant above my seat "tickled my head" when I sat down. When we were about ready to leave I told DH to go ahead I had something to do.. he thought I needed to visit the ladies room, instead I told the manager that the plants all needed a trim and that was the business I was in, and when about taking cuttings from all the plants in the beautiful hanging baskets. You should have seen the look on DH's face when I walk out with a "to go" box stuffed full of cuttings. lol lol lol

Way to go Judy!!! I've volunteered many times to prune/trim/salvage plants in public places. I feel it is my duty, in the interests of preserving the plant's health! Interesting how the uninitiated fall for this!

heres the link to those wacky, but wonderful socks..i think i need one of each, well 2 of each, you know 1 for each foot, lol (had to clear that up for judy : )

Here's a sunday funny that struck me just that. LOL

ROTFLOL Boy Howdy can I relate. I remember when I lived in the city. ..

The neighbors I wouldn't mind talking with, waved when I was outside working, but returned to 'sit a spell' when I was just lounging on the porch.

I needed the glass box for the other ones, who stopped and talked "at" me, when I was rushing to get my work done!!!

My Aunt told me her secret, if you ask them to do anything, they immediately find a reason to leave. So I either got the job done in half the time because I had help doing it or the person left cause they didn't want to help do it. Soon people left me alone until my work was done.
lol lol

Judy, I never leave a restaurant or other public place with cuttings... but very often with having taken the lid off a toilet tank and adjusted the float valve so it quit running all the time...

We all have our skills, LOL.

you would think the way we banter on this thread that we would be the talkers, lol.

Now MSJen, I think you would just pitch in to help, without being asked!!

ya think? actually, i'd wait for you to come over and talk to me first, lol...let you work at my place ; )

.....but how you going to get Darius inside to fix your toilet, keep offering her lemonade??

Darius I'm exactly the same way, I can't stand to leave one running

Judy

hmmm, now thats something to ponder. .

NO, Judy - as soon as I realized I was in my jammies, I went inside and changed - silly girl. (Frankly, I was dressed better in my jamm's than half the people who were int heir street clothes!

I sleep au natural... someone would have noticed if I went outside like that!

MsJen, I think I finally know someone who has more wild socks that I do.

: )

Winnie the Pooh Socks and Chicken Slippers...

That reminds me of a little story..

I ran to the little country store early one morning for milk and bread. Squatting down to a lower shelf and felt a breeze on my thigh from the fan at the far end of the aisle, looking down I realized I had on DH's baggy pj bottoms, which had a fly but no zipper. What to do?? I had on a waist length t-shirt thingee, no way it would begin to cover the potential problem. Here my age started showing.

I just asked the female stocker if she had an extra smock I could put on since I discovered my zipper had a "problem"... (as in not one there). When the young man took my bag of groceries out to the van. I handed him the smock out the window and asked him to thank the lady for allowing me to use it.

Plant pieces have been known to come home with us, but I have never bartered for them. Usually they are broken off a laying on the floor, so you must pick them up & save them from horrible death.
I love that cartoon, sure takes the air out of a nosey person.

Puppy Dog Booties!

Bernie,

I'm with you, I can't stand to see rootable plant parts just laying in the floor to be stepped upon.

Flowers, kitties, and Kitties with Flower Bonnets!

lol lol lol

MSJen & Sequee,

When you two wear these socks, can other people see them, or do your shoes and plants cover them up? Just want to understand this situation correctly.

Judy

And who could resist the Glow in the Dark Panties???

My Tye-dyed socks @ the KYRU last fall... Gardenwife's photo.

Sequee,

When you wear these, can other people see them or are they covered up? Just want to understand this situation correctly.

Clueless Judy

Ok, ok - so I didn't buy a plant while at Home Depot, but I guess I must confess...I did have to empty my pockets when I got home!

I SWEAR - they were on the floor and about to be stepped on. It's just possible we had a tripping hazard there, and Sequee saved the day!

Once on the hosta forum somebody mentioned that plants actually jumped into their carts to be found at the checkout. There are sure strange happenings in the plant world.
Bernie

i just hate when i stick a coleus in my cart and, by pure accident, a piece breaks off. who wants to buy a damaged plant? so the plant goes back on the shelf, the cutting goes home with me and the day is saved, lol.
it would take me forever to locate half the socks i have, but seeming as tho i'm going to have a whole lot of time the next few days, i may bombard ya'll with my feet, lol.
where exactly is the line crossed when posting obscene things? of course its sequees fault for posting her panties first, but oh boy howdy (love that judy) i could sure get y'all going, lol
judy, i mostly wear mine to work, but have been known to flash a little sock now and then, lol. my berkies are my shoe of choice and i never wear them without socks. ...so the toes may be covered, but the heel is there for everyone to see, from red and white elf socks, to butterflies, to retro, birds bees butterfly, hearts, frogs...polkadots, stripes, ...and on and on and on, lol
darius, love those tye died, never thought about doing that with a pair of socks!!

Not Darius too.... what is this thing with BOLD socks!!! Do you let people see these socks...evidently Darius does if Gardenwife took a picture at the KYRU!!!

ROTFLOL!!!

Judy

Can you imagine...NONE of my watched threads came up, so I started nosing in here.

First let me ask, When you say "live in the city", what exactly does that mean? I think I live in the city. Downtown is only 3 blocks from here. Properties have almost a -0- lot line. Luckily my back yard has partial privacy fence and the rest has foliage on the chain link. I am out every morning without fail, in my jammies.

I'm looking to see what bloomed while I was asleep and wash the doggies recycled products down into the grass. I have very healthy grass, my doggies don't eat meat. Kinda like have a couple cows, but with no cud and a touch better breath (but not much).

Now I don't sport anything as fancy as some of those jammies you have shown. I simply wear men's boxer shorts (not borrowed or inherited, their selection at the store is much broader) and any old ratty tank top not acceptable for public exposure. The boxers do have a fly, but no zipper, as boxers go. But in today's fashion realm, no one may even suspect these are jammies, or underwear for that matter. My only biggest exposure is the oversized t-shirt with the sleeves cut off, the arm pits of the shirt are a bit low on the rib cage. If I was looking for company, that would most certainly scarem off.

I can't say as I have ever gone to work or the market in any of this attire, but have gone off with 2 different shoes on my feet.

As for the addiction you mentioned, well, I can think of a whole lot of worse things to be addicted to. I generally have to have at least one of everything in the garden. It doesn't matter, if I haven't the zone to sustain it, or the money to buy it. There are ways, if I really need to have it, I can make it happen. And I usually do. When it gets here, I have to ask myself...."What were you thinking?" plant it and go back to Dave's to see what else is being offered up for grabs.

Did I tell you Dave's is always open on my toolbar? And I am always online, 24/7, well my computer is, anyway. I have a cell phone and have that number printed on my business cards, so there is never any interruption of internet service. DSL was a miracle come true.

Once in a while I take timeout from Dave's and gardening to eat....maybe. Better try and do that now.

I think I shall put this on my watch list, if no one objects.

:^))))
