Hi All- I bought my DoA from Bluestone's sale last summer. I planted in a 1 gallon container so she was keep moist at all times. My DH did all the pinching; something I haven't got the hang of yet. Don't really understand where you should pinch. She was planted last fall 2007. When we removed her from the container she had an amazing rootball. We planted her deep w/some bonemeal in the bottom of the hole. The pictures are of her very first blooms ever! I am so proud of her and I think she is a very pretty clematis. Now I need to find a vitacella to grow together w/my Henryi that is about 8 years old. He had wilt the first 3 years and this year he has just started blooming. I was thinking of VV but would love a nice blue like Ramona. How would Betty Corning look w/Henryi? I hear she is a great clematis and I love the bell-shaped flowers. I want something with color to really stand out w/Henryi. I guess I am not really sure what I want but would love some suggestions. suebot in CT

3sq is a closet. The other door is the apartment entrance and then there’s a door to the bedrooms on the chair side of the dining room area and a opening into the kitchen on the bench side of the dining room. I’ll probably try it out and see but my main concern with the new layout option is that it’ll make the room feel smaller.

What an interesting conversation. . . I grew up as a non-Amish family in an Amish community, with many Amish friends and relatives. But I wasn't Amish. Born in 61 with 5 older siblings I was immersed in the music and cultural revolution of the 60s and 70s. By the time I was graduating from High School we were deep into the "Disco" era. I had big hair and really wanted to know where the working girls on 3rd street in Harrisburg got their clothes - these women knew how to dress! By the time I was grown I had come into my own, learned to be comfortable in my own skin and landed in a place where my comfort was far more important than what anyone thought about what I was wearing. I don't care how people style their hair or what they wear. We may say we don't judge people on their appearance, but we do. Everyone has bias. You may be well aware of your biases or they may be subconscious, but no one is completely free of bias. Don't be surprised when you don't get the promotion at work even when you produce the best work and the boss picks someone who does lower quality work, but reflects his/her vision of the best person for the job. I do worry that people who get tattooed don't always think about the future. That design on your six pack when you are 20 may be not so attractive when you are 40 with a baby or beer gut. That lover's name on your bicep is great until you get divorced and by the time you are 70 the wrinkled bat wings hanging from your arms are not more attractive when adorned by a faded, wrinkled mermaid. Permanence of tattoos on an ever changing canvas may lead to unintended results. I like the convivence of zippers and buttons and other flashy fasteners on my clothes. I like to be able to get a perm in my thin, straight hair, color my hair any color I want, cut it and not cover it with a bonnet. I like to sit at my desk in my pajamas while I work and sometimes run to the convenience store in my PJs late at night when I have already showered and gotten ready for bed. During Covid, my company decided to get cameras for all the telecommuters and have us do video conferencing instead of just audio. Ugghhh - no more PJs and uncombed hair! I used my age and age discrimination as my argument against video conferencing, but also brought up how people of color, people who are overweight may also face discrimination if we mandated video conferencing. The policy was changed and allows everyone the option to do video or straight audio conferencing. One of the rules in the Amish community that I think the non-Amish community may benefit from is the rule where men shave until they are married. Once married the men grow a beard. It is really easy to take off a wedding ring and put it back on the next day, but it is hard to convince your wife, neighbors and fellow community members that you had some compelling reason to shave off your beard.
