TLC finally getting some smarts.....

Just read that Honey Boo Boo has been cancelled! Seems Momma or whatever her name is has been keeping company with a savory person......
How this show was even allowed on the air was beyond me........

I had no idea it was still on! I thought it only lasted the one season.

I saw it on TMZ yesterday. She left her husband and is having an affair with a man that is a convicted child molester( he molested a relative of Shannons) . If it is true that she is doing that then she is one sick woman. Next thing we know they will take the kids away from her. Oh wait that will be the next tv show! GAG
I just never understood the whole thing at all.

Momma is denying it and said not true that she did date him but it was 10 years ago

Giving my established (but new to me) lawn some TLC

mjl5007, You have the deck stacked against you,as far as spring seeding goes. Aggressive summer annuals that are hard to kill compete against your grasses, soon to be hot weather, disease, traffic ( this is when you want to be enjoying your yard), and a shallow root system from your newly seeded grass. So no, I would not seed anything now. Get a few pieces of sod if you have larger bare areas, it will stand a better chance. Thinner areas will fill in be patient warmer temps, longer days and a little fert. will go a long way. Yes, if you need to regrade large areas get some fill dirt and use a good screened topsoil for the top 3 to 4 inches. The screened topsoil will keep most of the troublesome perennial weeds out of your lawn. I would say to hold off on the aerifying because you said your lawn is thin in areas, and I would not want to thin it out even more. Also, without any pictures it's hard to say, but light, moisture, and nutrients are more limiting factors to turfgrass growth than compaction. Unless you guys play a lot of sports on your lawn, then I would say yes aerify. When you aerify you need to go over the lawn four or five times to affect any real surface area. You will also need to aerify in the fall before you seed. The reason for aerifying when you put out lime is that lime moves very slowly in the soil, so your raising the pH in the soil in the top 2 or 3 inches instead of just the top inch.

I would treat him with TC "tetracycline" 250mg per 10 gallons every other day for 10 days, making sure to do partial water changes each day before the new dose. This will treat any fin rot or ick. I would also use 1 teaspoon of uniodized salt per gallon to treat for parasites.

What a beautiful day for a garden tour! Sunny and warm, but not too hot and lots of shady spaces to sit and take a break, too. The gazebos, tunnels, arbors, etc. and so many nice trees. Just a wonderful garden :) And, lots of fun going through the greenhouses, too. We did see lots of lovely roses, but we were most excited that the two we bought (sight unsmelled LOL) were so fragrant! Mom had purchased Golden Celebration and I had chosen Cottage Rose...so very excited that they turned out to be so beautiful and fragrant, in real life. They'll be open in September for a few days, just to see the hydrangeas, so we'll be planning another trip, then. Not only beautiful flowers, but so many good ideas for laying out the gardens, themselves. I really want a formal rose garden, now...with a deer fence! LOL

Finally Some RAT Relief!

Sherry, I hear ya! I never want to kill anything, so I hope I'm never overrun again. This time I got lucky with the weasel. Oh, I believe you, bkay. Coyotes are determined hunters so who knows what it was after when it broke into the bus station, or if it was sick or why it did that. Jon, I was searching for a solution, but I never thought of LF for rats, so I'll file away those ideas in case I need them in the future. I have a good sense of smell so the putrefied egg might drive me from the property, lol. I'm relieved nature worked in my favor this time. LOL, Josephine, I read that wrong. That coyote must have been hunting in the scrub. :) I've never heard one close up like you did, but I have heard a rattle snake in some tall grass. That was enough to convince me to change directions FAST. gregbradley, what a small world. My old place where my cat was chased right up to my door was Upland! You sound like you're higher up than I was. I was below Baseline so it was only bad when we had a couple years of drought. The drought is much worse now than when I lived there so I can imagine they're coming down looking for food. We had a/an opposum in the yard once, but not all the other animals you have. My brother is in Valencia and a coyote killed his much loved cat :-( He would love that you got two of them with your baseball bat....which means they got very close to you. Be careful out there!

Never under estimate the "sophistication" of the viewing public!

I agree! But that is what the world has come to, many people are like that now. I hated to even see the advertisements for the show.

I agree the family needs to be out of the public eye. The show helped them get some money in the beginning, but it is way beyond exploitation now. June is denying the affair. I hope she is telling the truth. For all of this families baggage and cringe worthy moments, I still hope the best for them. The family members have good hearts and try to help others.

I feel so bad for those girls, and especially Alana (Sugar Bear is her father). I, too, hope that the mother isn't dating the guy that she's reportedly dating.

By the way, whomever she dates, it's not an affair because she wasn't married to Sugar Bear.

I know it sounds like I know a lot about it, but I don't, honestly! Haha. Yes, I've watched it, but only a couple of times for a part of the show. I hope that Alana survives Ok, but I fear for her. It's scary.

I don't think you have to be married for it to be an "affair". "Affair" can also mean "romance".

Everyone is entitled to guilty pleasures. (I don't agree with the word "pleasures"), but you know what I mean. I guess if you want to be in the loop of knowing about pop culture, you need to feast your eyes and ears on news makers, at least once.

I just saw on AOL that she denied it and her priority is with her daughters.
But, looks like TLC didn't buy it.

I watched one episode to see what all the hoopla was about. They needed subtitles so you could understand what they were saying. Imagine, English subtitles for English!

I thought they got married? Didn't she wear a camo wedding dress? I can't believe I know that.

I've never seen it, but I don't watch any 'reality' shows. They are the bottom of the barrel and just money-makers for the producers and networks, etc.

And it's not happening fast enough! I don't watch much of anything any more. There's nothing to watch. Our local public tv has the best stuff. If they don't have anything I turn it off again. And the quiet is WONDERFUL!

I hope that disgusting "Dirty Jobs" goes off. That guy's always trying to think of something off color to say. It's not the jokes it's that he's obviously trying. A major turn off. So junior high.

Oh, my!
Earlier today I happened to see a quick blurb about that show; it included a picture of Honey Boo Boo. I didn't read what it said. I quickly moved on while I mumbled to myself that stuff is still on? I had watched a part of 2 shows, 'way back just to see if it was as bad as I had heard it was. . Made me embarrassed to think about how proud I had always been to say "I'm a Southerner."

Thankfully, it is gone now, and I hope that is just the beginning of some TV house cleaning.

Now an older daughter is saying she was molested by one of the mom's boyfriends when she was 8.

What an embarrassment this show was. I can't believe that people acted this way. I was shocked at how long it was on the air. Too many shows on TLC are to me not watchable. What kind of people with any sense would watch these crazy shows?

Now, if we could get the Kardashians (and other shows like theirs) off the air, it would be a blessing from above. Kendra On Top is another brainless show. Some people are watching these people or they wouldn't be on.
