Please help! my succulents are wilting in front of my eyes!
Comments (2)I live in the great white north now, but got the cactus bug when I lived in Phoenix for two years. I found that I couldn't keep any Crassulaceae outside in the peak of summer, as they all died. It might have something to do with overnight lows being too high for CAM plants to initiate gas exchange ??? Purportedly some people can keep some of these non-cacti outside in the shade, but I couldn't. If you live in Phoenix, go to the Desert Botanical Garden, which is in between Tempe and Scottsdale. Look around for your plants. If you don't see it growing there, it probably can't be done. I didn't develop a good way to deal with this in my little house, but probably the best thing would be to have it inside but in a sunny spot, and set your plant outside again in late September. They should be deliriously happy from then until May....See MorePlease help stop my eyes from rolling around in my head (washer/d
Comments (19)Just a little eye rolling left! Second floor is important should guide your decision. Some units vibrate less than others due to the type of suspension - someone help me out here, but I believe a washer with a "hanging" type suspension will vibrate less. Also, with a second floor you have to worry about leaks destroying your house. Two things will help you never have to deal with this. Have your plumber install "Burstbuster" valves and use Floodchek hoses (google both to find them). Do not use hoses that come with the machine or that you can buy at the home center. They are inferior. Burst washing machine hoses can release hundreds of gallons of water and are the second top reason for home insurance claims (first - leaking fridge ice maker plumbing). You don't want to turn your stairs into a water fall. Please whatever washer you buy, be smart with a few ounces of prevention. The Floodchek hoses are superior and the likelihood of them leaking or bursting is far less than standard hoses. If they ever do leak, the Burstbuster will detect the water and shut off the valves thereby saving your house and thousands and thousands in damage....See MoreI have dark somewhat brown circles around my eyes...
Comments (62)I don't think one can really look happy and feel confident if one truly is not happy or confident. On the one hand. On the other . . . I approached dating in my 40s and 50s the way I approached job hunting. A first date is an in person "see if we have any chemistry" interview. You are as much vetting him as he is vetting you. The confidence comes from knowing that if it isn't the right fit, that is not a bad thing. That was the hardest thing for me to do in online dating, tell a guy I didn't see it working out after a date. Usually they sensed it too, but sometimes they were just like my husband, they didn't care much about picking and choosing, just wanted a woman to date and for some "dating" was a euphamism for having sex with. (Not my husband, but that's what some guys relayed to me, pft. Such guys are a waste of time, they'll discard you as soon as the next "doable" woman comes along. I had to tell some guys "no thanks" and it really wasn't anything in particular that was wrong with them (for the most part) just not a good fit for me. I even volunteered to help one guy up his dating game so he could find the right gal. His profile picture was very old and when he showed up looking much older and with way less hair, I didn't mind his appearance, but the disconnect was a moment of dis-ingenuousness that for many would be a red flag. I don't think he did it on purpose, a lot of guys don't happen to have a great photo shoot to share online, it's not much of a guy concern. He used his work ID photo that was old. I have a friend from GW who met her husband through another guy she went on a date with. He could tell they weren't compatible, but that she would make a great match for a friend of his . . . so just like with the job, try not to take it too much to heart and too personal. It's not any reflection on your worth as a person if a date doesn't click. The planet has 8+ billion people on it, as varied as the molecules in the universe! The point is, you wan to put your best foot forward, be your best you, but don't try to make yourself into something you're not. Don't highlight your weaknesses, know your true worth and put it out there. If a man values it, you are lucky. If not, nothing has changed, your purpose in life is to use your gifts and talents to their highest purpose, not run after people who don't value what you have to offer. Plus your pluses. I taught in a leadership program for three years at a community college. We taught a lot of "soft skills" as far as personal and interpersonal management. We used a system of identifying personal strengths. It is a well known and studied phenomenon that is is much easier to "plus your pluses" that spend an inordinate amount of time trying to make yourself into something you're not. The key is to find the right fit between a person's need and your pluses. Sometimes that takes some searching around. Don't get discouraged!! The right fit is out there and you will not have to turn yourself into a pretzel to find it, it will flow naturally....See MoreCaught my eye yesterday.
