What plant gives you the biggest pain?
Comments (32)Hi all Crazy weather this year, esp along the Northern NSW/SE Queelnsland coast where many of us live - Jack, Kerry, Ross and some I haven't yet met I don't think. Very few plants rotted, and no Alcantareas died despite the cms of mud impregnated into the bottom of the pots. Unfortunately I lost plants of some N carcharodons, some Hohenbergias esp castellanosii clumps and a few large Vr fosteriana forms. Even the T tectorums among the rocks in full sun (rain at the time!) are fine. It rained for months and I've recorded over 2.5 metres for the year so far. Now it's getting dry with no rain for 42 days and temps starting to get well over 25C with over 30 forecast in the next few days - very warm for August but the nights are mostly cool/cold still so not much grows. We don't usually get the freezes like in the States, though a couple of yrs ago was another crazy year, not with rain but severe frost as Kerry sure knows. Lisa, the Navias like arida and ignesicola can't take the months of cold nights I get, mostly well below 10C. They are low altitude species but the ones from the tops of the tepuis are even trickier I gather but should take the cold. Cheers, Pedro...See Morewrist pain

Comments (13)I've been to the doctor for plantar fasciitis and he did the taping thing which didn't help me at all. I've also been to a few foot doctors and physical therapy. My issue is exactly where your is - in the arch of the foot. I have very high arches. I did get a pair of orthotics from a running store which help too. Here's some exercises to do that really work well from my PT office: 1) Roll your arch over a golf ball. It massages the area and gets into the nooks of the arch. It feels great. AND / OR Freeze a water bottle, then roll your arch over the bottle to massage it for up to 15 minutes. The ice will help the inflammation. 2) Use one of those elastic exercise ribbons and stretch your foot by holding each end of the elastic with your foot in the middle pressing your heel upward so you get that stretch in the arch area. The ribbon should be on your foot pad, not at your arch area when you do this exercise. You can do this laying down or sitting. 3) To strengthens the foot muscles, put a pile of marbles on the floor. Using your toes, pick them up one, two, or three at a time, placing them in a container. Do this twice. 4) Using a slant board or anything sturdy you can put on a slant, like a stepper for instance, stand on it with your toes facing the top of the slant. This will stretch the tendons. DON'T OVER STRETCH OR YOU'LL HURT YOURSELF. All of these should help stretch the area as long as you do them for a few weeks or until it feels better. You can always research the subject on the Internet for more exercises. PT is a very common injury....See Morepaining beadboard wainscoting help
Comments (23)I had wood paneling in my house for a long time and I loved it, so i can understand the reluctance to paint! In this case, I would definitely paint the beadboard and the trim a warm white. Look at the BM OC palette. I think when the other posters talk about the transition between real and faux wood, they are referring to what you are seeing too.... that the stained real wood doesn’t look right against the Pergo. Painting the beadboard will eliminate that issue. There may be a warm white that works with the Dill weed, but if you’re painting anyway it might be worth looking into a less saturated color. Enjoy the beautiful new floor!...See MoreDeb Chickenmom
