Group Hug: Tea Roses
Q
Comments (52)
What a great week we've had in the tea bloom department despite having a slight frost last weekend. We've had a steady flush of blooms on all the teas and chinas around here. The colors are rich and lovely because of the cooler temps. The Duchess looks especially lovely in her pink blossoms. Mrs. B.R. Cant and Mons Tillier are new to my garden this year. Still in pots, but oh, so fun. Ducher, Cramisia Superior (sorry about the spelling) and Sombreiul (sigh, gotta practice my French spellings) are having a nice late fall flush. My china, Mutablius, is bursting with blooms. Silly roses. We will have a hard freeze within the next couple of weeks. They should be going to sleep, not putting on new growth and buds. But I'm not griping. They look incredible. Hugs to the teas and their growers. Here is a link that might be useful: Creative Soul

ants and noise - need out of our lease. can someone help us out?
Q

"Upon examining our lease....it was discovered that I did not initial half of the places that required it on our lease. I also did not sign the very important section regarding DEFAULT BY RESIDENT. My roomate DID initial all of these places and did sign. The only portion my SIGNATURE is on....is the deal page where it talks about rent and deposit calculations. Is there any legal way for us to break this lease without having to pay?" NOPE! Contracts cover "reasonable interpretation", and minor omissions don't make up for your signing the big spots. I had a tenant try to weasel out of a lease: a typo made it for a negative one year (started in 1996 and ended in 1995) ... and they decided the lease was invalid a couple of months into the term and moved out. I sued them for the rent they owed, they said "the dates are wrong, the lease is invalid" and the judge said "Typos don't count, pay the nice landlord!". What you can do: whenever the music runs past 9 or 10PM, call the cops about a loud party. Whenever the upstairs kids are stomping and yelling, call the manager and ask him to shut them up.

I need a hug, a tissue, and some chocolate

I'm a weeper: Almost every time I say goodbye to one of my six kids, I stand in the driveway, weeping and waving, and everybody laughs at me. The thing is, I see them frequently enough, but I still always weep like an idiot. They don't need me anymore, sob,sob,sob. I bawled my eyes out a week ago when the youngest graduated from college. Hubby and the older kids said it was from relief that finally the tuition payments were over, but it wasn't just that. She's off on a new life that, from my perspective, doesn't include me the way it always has. She wants to go to AUSTRALIA for pete's sake!!! After the party at our house, when all the kids had returned to their own homes, I was exhausted from all the weeping and waving, yet proud of our lovely bunch of coconuts. If I had my way, I'd be in the center of the family compound, my childrens' homes all within arms reach, dispensing wise advice, cookies and hugs to our kids and dozens of grandchildren, cooking, tending, interfering. Wallow and cry, Curly. You'll feel better soon, and then you'll run out of time to do all the things you want to do. She does need you, and always will. I still rely on my mom for things, and I'm 60! You did a good job raising kids who love you. I hope you can buck up, though, and don't spend as much time in the driveway weeping and waving as I do. Sherry

Attn soapstone enthusiasts -- time for a group hug!
Q

My kitchen has been completed for a couple years and I still marvel at the beauty of my soapstone. Florida Joshua was offering advice and tips back then and I was always grateful that I could pull up his posts to educate the naysayers who were misinformed about the properties of soapstone who tried to dissuade me from using it. I think it takes a particular type of craftsman to be drawn to working with soapstone. My own fabricator appears to have similar personality traits to F. Joshua. Wish there were more people like them!

Thank you so much everyone. If ya thought PMS was fun, through in those mental hormones - seratonin and melatonin and mess them around at the same time.....

Booked Monday off as hols (mental health day).
DH is working all weekend and I am eyeballing window washing at home, painting and what ever other mischief I can get my hands on to perk up the place.

LOL to all my pals,

McPeg

Who is feeling really loved right now!

GOod Morning McPeg,

Hope it's not to late to give you a big (((((((((HUG))))))))), don't know why you had a bad day yesterday and it doesn't matter. I hope you have a much better day today! Monday off sounds great. Spring cleaning sounds good to me too. I am hoping to find some time to do that myself.

Mentally unbalanced - chronic depression I take medication for and have lived with since the age of 7. My mood swings, sleep patterns shift and I get knocked right off balance due to a chemical inbalance. Prozac helps. I have mild sedatives which at least stop me from being awake around the clock.
Today I just feel angry at the world for NO REASON. It will pass. It always does. Will take this mood out on housework and annilate dirt at home this weekend and my windows are going to sparkle so bright they should blind the neighbourhood by the time I finish....

Bleeeecccchhppppphhhhhhhhhwwweeeeeewwwwiiieeeeeeeee

I always found that making bread (kneading, kneading, kneading!) was good therapy; however, do NOT forget to give the bread away!!!!

Best regards,

McPeg, good thoughts coming your way! Cleaning the windows sounds like a great plan. My sleeping habits have been disturbed lately with DH's back problems---he now sleeps half the night in bed and half in a chair. So...

Life is full of adjustments, right? Whether we want 'em or not. Take care of yourself and have a great day!

McPeg, I did not find out about your problems until now. I hope your game plan for the weekend is working out and you are feeling better. I have seen you at the Winter Sowing forum. I also got into WS'ing to keep myself busy this Canadian winter (about 50 flats). I have started many plants inside, as well.

To fill you in on your home country, we have had a break in the weather the past week or so, with temps well above normal and lots of sun, all the snow is gone and the ground is getting soft. Even if it gets back to winter for a while, it will not be long. I'm sure a good therapy for you too is getting dirty, tired and sore, and having a sense of accomplishment, working the dirt.

Warmest wishes for feeling better!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you everyone!
I took another sedative last night and got to sleep in this morning and let it do its work. Four nights and I am starting to finally feel rested. I think this is the after burn of two months of DH's Gran fading and finally passing on. There has been no Peggy or Dave time and I think our bodies are telling us off big time.
I have taken Monday off.

Today I have some running around to do outside, in the SUN, FRESH AIR. Going to treat myself to some heated propagators for my plants, get some more Weight Watchers treats, Low fat yogurts. Made a huge fresh fruit salad last night and sprinkled with splenda - should be nice today.

Going to get at my windows - got my squeegie. (put on some twangy country tunes and MERLE HAGGARD)
Going to get some laundry flying about.
And going to put on Gone with the Wind when I do my ironing. (love that movie)

Tomorrow, if this sunny weather holds, going in the garden. It's starting to warm a wee bit around here.

Thanks for the home news and thank you again for all of your well wishes. I am feeling better this morning. The mood has lifted. My office is trying to help - I am being relocated to a quieter corner (bless them too) and have advised all the Directors in a private email about my illness and why I don't attend the celebration/good work booze nights (I can't handle those).

Managed to eat a decent dinner last night (good thing). Hardest thing for me when my mood drops is wanting to eat - which is no good.

LOL to all my pals,
and yes, I am winter sowing plants which need to be checked as well this weekend.
