A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The Banter Hall Coffee House 2381, Ready for Brand New Fun

So true, there never seems to be enough space, it make you wonder how years gone by people managed just fine with less stuff. we have an old dresser that we use a tv stand that my dad is fond of telling us used to be shared by my grandfater and his brother, from their childhood through their teens, and it isn't very big. I don't think I could have handle sharing a dresser I had far too much stuff.

I shared dressers, closets and rooms with my sister. I do like having my own. I have a biggish house, spread out. But my husband built big empty rooms with lots of windows and electrical outlets. But nothing in the way of closets, cabinets, or enclosed storage. I ended up hiring someone to build a walk-in closet. It was driving me nuts.

We had no closets in our bedrooms either Tina...I built one over a year ago, mind you I built it an inch to small for closet doors I told DH that's what happens when I play carpenter.

hey--you could put up a long tension rod with curtains on it for a "door" a sheet would already have an opening sewen in it for the rod--

yea Rod knows I won't do anything like that so he says he will & "just never gets around" to doing whatever---

Carol...I bought a bath/shower rod for it and some lace curtains. Cartainly cheaper than doors.

I've learned a long time ago to get things done soon I 'll have to do it myself. Most times it works out...well most

Got to go take in wood for tomorrows storm, back in a bit.

yes well, me too but there is just a lot I cannot do--
I am proud of you, that you can do so much.

I need to e-mail my youngest so I will take this time now to do that BB soon.

Just got home from the hospital....gonna go sit in my chair then get Lola in bed...and will be back. (I hope!)

I laid me down for a nap this afternoon. But never really slept.

we brought down the patio table and chairs to the basement tonight---I guess if he keeps doing a little at a time it will not seem so awful to me and in the ned we will be done--

I did not get a nap today...

I wanted a nap today so bad...I was up all night last night throwing up (til 6am). Even after morphine every 2 hours all day today I still could not sleep (I usually get my best sleep in the hospital)...hoping I will sleep good tonight in my recliner. I'm wore out.

That is the ONLY time that I ever slept well..

g'night

G'nite Bill--sweet dreams---

I think I will go soon as well--I did not go back to sleep this mornng as I had said--I got a phone call & when it was over I was wide awake--

I've been working since 2 AM. I think I am very tired, but at this point I am just very tired...g'night

Rest well Bill and you also Cindy

The only time I slept well in the hospital is when they put me to sleep...any noise wakes me up.

Good morning and Happy Feb, 1st...here it means that Winter is half over. Snowing at the moment, shoveled out my windows yesterday. They were only covered by 6 inches but it's easier to just shovel every storm, lesson learned.

Good morning. I hope everyone has a lovely February. And an early, warm spring.

Good Morning everyone & happy february. I just spent some time changing my graphics...not the best but hey it gets the point accross.

I get to stay home today--yay !!
so I am off to get some stuff done around here--
I will be back as I can---

Good Morning,

Carol your graphics look good to me.



It should mean winter is half over here too, but its turn up with a rather poor showing so far. I thought maybe with that snow earlier this week we would finally get winter, but alas it went well above freezing yester stayed there overnight and now is pretty much gone, again...

I wouldn't be surprised to find signs of life in the garden by the end of the week if this keeps up

Good morning. My co-worker is back which means its catch up day for me. On happy to get back to my normal duties.

hanks Shani, I appreciate it.

well my hyacinth are up---I am hoping that the crocus do not follow suit--
and it looks as if the curly hosta that Dodge sent me may be trying to come up---

It is so surprising at how difference our weather is when you think that Shani lives just a little South West of me. It is storming out again today...I'll send some down to you all

I am hoping for an early spring also...

It's good weather to stay in and cook and bake though, lasagna sauce is simmering for a big batch and the oven is warming up to get some cookies.

Today the weather news channel talked about how 20 years ago today we got hit with one of the worst storms ever...I watched the video online. Amazing that as teenagers we thought it was so cool, now it sends shivers up my spine...yup I'm getting old

naw, your not getting old you've matured & gotten more sense!!

well my lunch is gone so I am off back to work..

Guess what I got in the mail today??

The letter that I mailed to Juniegirl WEEKS ago, now stating not enough postage. Gee wonder where it went too? And it had the same postage as always..the post office is the one who put it on

wow !! so who in your P O made the postage mistake--

if it makes yoiu feel any better our P O messed up one of my medication orders & so the powers that be stated that it had to be "returned to sender" so I am still waiting for my meds--good thing I was not out, huh???

Silly post office, they've been at this delivering thing long enough that you'd think they'd have it down by now

ya know--I think you have a very valid point there, Shani.

Hello all..in for a few.

Here it means that winter is half started...
(Is the glass half empty or half full up there?)

I mailed a forum member in Canada a package years ago, paid a lot extra to get it there faster...after a week I was thinking it would be there any day...2 weeks, 3 weeks, a month...no package. We assumed it was not going to get there...after another month it arrived...with 3 dead weeping willow trees in it.

what did they do ?/ keep it until the trees were dead?? because you know, willow trees are deadly...

Welcome to Canada

I'm thinking about making some tea out of deadly willow.
I watch "Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman" everyday and she uses willow bark tea for pain.

I learnt my lesson.....

I can just see you licking the willow branches

I might chop it up and snort it....

Hey whatever works

Meds space me right out....I'm the only person who can't function on extra-strength Tylenol.

I think I am immune to morphine at this point...

I'm gonna go this this child (Lola!) in bed...be back....

Cindy, who looks after Lola for you when you are sick? I was always curious about that.

Just got in from shovelling out windows again...I can touch the roof just walking along the snow. Holy, I've got a pain in my head just like when you eat too much ice cream. I think the chimney smoke did me in...I need a hot coffee.

Wow thats a lot of snow, Hard to believe, when we have ankle deep mud.

yes a coffee should fix you right up my friend.

Shani, you have mud ?? yikes !!!
Sunflowers, it surprises me that everyone can still get around with snow that deep---The road crews must really be at it long & hard---WOW !!!

I guess keeping after it does keep you in shape though, huh???

Cindy, let us know how that 'deadly' willow tea works ..

Your province has been strange this Winter...some places are snowbound and others are snowless.
