    Good Morning All,
    I did get the second coat of paint on the garage yesterday, and I cleaned up the compost the dogs tore up, and got it on the ground behind the garage. Now I just have to plant! But I can't today: ( I have to go for a mammogram and check up, and help a relative.

    Jenell,
    No one put in a guess?! So I'll re-guess 5'9". Were you the one with the big feet when we had that discussion awhile ago? I thought it was Mellen, but maybe she has big feet too, lol. Well, I have big feet for how short I am, 5'2" and size 8 1/2 shoe. I have canoe feet.

    Good morning, Big feet? Moi??? I guess I never thought of myself as having big feet. I'm 5'9" with size 8 shoe. Is that big? Now I have a niece who is 5'10" who has big feet. You could actually use oars and row in hers. I think she is now a size 11. She gets that from her dad's side of the family not ours, of course. LOL

    Susie, I'm glad to hear from you, too. Too bad about your pain. I've heard it is pretty terrible. This too shall pass.

    Jenell, for some reason I have you pictured as being short and dainty. So you are tall and dainty?

    Gotta go. Have a wonderful day, everyone!
    Mary Ellen

    Ok I'm 6' & have size 11 shoe. I'll take the oars!!!!
    If we get to re-guess I'm going with 5'10.
    Have a great day all!

    Hi All,
    I didn't have to help the relative so I got to get a lot planted this afternoon. The back of the garage is really shaping up! I even got mulch down. I did leave on spot bare because I ordered a peony, Seashell, that won't be here until tomorrow.
    Susie,
    The pink monarda did survive the fire! I'm amazed at the tenacity of some plants.

    Mary Ellen,
    Lol! size 8 at your height is small, very dainty.

    April,
    Lol! I imagined you as short. It is funny how you get pics in your head of people.

    Marie,
    I think your sister takes the prize for canoe feet, lol, poor woman. You just made me think of the Seinfeld episode "She had man hands." lol, She has clown feet! : )
    Have a good night everyone,

    Hi, all. Just catching up with reading what everyone has been doing. Susie, I hope you are completely better soon. Yes, I will be doing the December Swap. I was planning to do a theme with a Christmas stocking, but I see that someone has already posted a Christmas Stocking theme for a Round Robin so I may think of something else. If you bought something specifically for a stocking or bought or made a special stocking, you can still use it. I don't want to spoil anyone's plans. Maybe I will make it an option to do a stocking or whatever the other idea is that I come up with!
    I was at a meeting this evening and midway through we heard a downpour. Everyone was so excited because it has been nothing other than hot and dry here. Of course, I got home and not a drop of rain had fallen here. We need rain so badly. I transplanted a few things on Sunday and even with watering them, I think it was a mistake. They don't look good at all. If it doesn't rain soon, it makes me wonder what trees, shrubs, and perennials we will have by next year.
    Enjoy the rest of the week and do a little rain dance for me!

    Klick is no longer a member of this group either.

    Anyone ever been turkey bowling? You knock down pins with a frozen turkey. It's loads of fun! I know, I'm from Iowa, one of those Redneck thangs...

    Vee, I thought Pixpla. quit, too. Not sure.

    Night all,

    Jeanne ~ Just to let you know that there is hope for you to get rain. We haven't had any to speak of since May and at my house over the weekend over 2 inches!! The farther south, the more rain ~ so by the time it gets to you, your drought should be over :)

    Mary Ellen ~ "turkey bowling? " Wow, I haven't done that for sooooo long! It is great fun. I will have to see if they do that around here, my daughter and I would have a great time.

    Remy ~ "Seinfeld episode "She had man hands." LOL, I forgot about that one!! Will have to check out the size of her hands next time I see her... hehehehe

    I wasn't aware that Pixie dropped out. I spoke with her the other night, and she didn't mention it.

    We are getting thunderstorms today, and we really, really do need the rain. High winds are suppose to come with it and that I do not want.

    Sounds like everyone is getting great boxes

    Hi all. Many apologies and especially to sguanzon for not posting sooner and for sending her box a day late. DH saw the doc for arm problems and turns out he, apparently, had a stroke some months ago, probably in his sleep. He is having an MRI next week. He's only 48.

    Sue, your box is on the way dc# 03062400000275418389

    I know you all will say prayers for him.

    Yes, I have some ideas for November and I'll put together something to post soon. Hope my idea isn't a "Turkey" but could have something to do with that. Ha Ha.

    Remy I used one of those machines in the lobby of the PO to mail your box yesterday and then handed it to the clerk because the line was 40 people long (I kid you not). When I checked the DC# today it didn't come up but I swear it's on its way you should get tomorrow, Friday at the latest, let me know will you?

    Congrats on the win April! I was so close!!! lol.
    I'm glad you liked the box, and I'm glad you could figure out my writing: ) I had to pick up that beanie for you when I saw your trade page. Yes, the JMG is the one I took pics of. It should come true no others were blooming near it at the time.

    Hi Jeanne,
    Good to see you post. I'm sure you'll come up with a good option for the swap. I'm sorry to see you didn't get rain still! I will do a little rain dance for you : )

    Mellen,
    Turkey bowling I think you made it up while drinking, lol. Ok, I just got to the next post and see Marie has actually participated in this sport before, LOL! I retract my made it up while drinking commment, though maybe there is lots of drinking going on during the event, lol.

    Marie,
    Lol, I can see you checking her hands.

    Annie,
    I hope you get some rain too!!

    Theresa,
    I'm so sorry about your hubby. That is young to have had a stroke! Does that kind of stuff run in his family? Of course he is in my prayers.

    Susie,
    Pixie wrote earlier up in the thread she was not participating in any more swaps, unless she changed her mind, but she didn't post saying that.
    I'm sure you mailed Klick a great box of plants. : )

    Sue,
    That happened to me one time. I got the slip for the DC from the worker, but when I checked there was no record of that number. The package got delivered ok, so I'm sure I'll see yours soon!

    Wow, I guess I better learn to read the posts. Sometime I just pop in and then on the road again.

    The saying goes, busy hands are happy hands.....But too many hours on the road make for one Raggedyann that is always behind and confused.

    I'm not complaining; just stating a fact.

    Here is pixi's post she did drop out of the group, I will take her name off the list. still hoping klick will change her mind. hugs carol

    OBF
    I think ya'll are treating Klick unfairly, she said honestly why she wanted out of this group. No need to torment, ya'll asked and she gave her feelings on it. That is fair. No need to keep things up. Each one of us has a choice as to whether we want to stay in a group or leave, nothing binding. Give her some respect.

    After this months swap I will not be participating. I do Love the friends I have made but I just can't deal with all the politics and friction, I have enough at home to deal with and would rather come to GW to have a fun time and make friends without having to tiptoe around.

    Don't get me wrong, I have made some wonderful friends on OBF but if they are real friends then they will still be my friends when I leave.

    Pixie

  • skohler
    16 years ago

    yes I remember that post & Just so you all Know I had emailed her & we agree she just needed a break from
    swapping for awhile as we all need to do from time to time .

    There has been way to many misunderstanding in this group & I can no longer Keep up with it .

    Carol You Brought in the new member's They Had No Idea as to what the dog joke was about , Nor about the leg shaving , & I'm Not Even sure that they even got a true copy of our guidelines but with that said ,I don't think any harm was done with pixie sticking up for klick even though she didn't know all the facts .

    carol you have the right to take anyone off the list as you want for you did start this group .
    I just want everyone to know that I do not see any cause to let anyone go for saying how or what they feel.

    as long as it is in right text & not x rated .:) I Hope
    you will reconsider Removing anyone from the group
    Unless they want to leave & Not Feel as they have to leave .
    maybe my opinion may not count any more but I had to say how i feel on removing anyone from the group.

    Right now it is getting to late in the year to mail plants so I will be sitting out most of the swaps Till spring.
    Except for Xmas I love to Give & receive :)))


    Have a great day ladies
    I will poke my 2 cents worth in again soon :))

I have no idea what happened, he wasn't looking well for a day and I started handfeeding him again. He perished on Sunday night. I was devastated! My Son and Husband surprised me with a new baby Monk parrot. My Son named him "Oliver" because he's so green. I've been calling him "Ollie". I'll post a picture with in the next few days of my new little baby.

    Jenell,
    I don't know what is going on with post office in MA. I checked and it says arrival at unit. So you haven't got it yet! April got hers faster in GA, lol. Well thankfully there's no plant dying in it!

    Susie, I sure hope you're feeling better soon. I finally got off my butt and saw a doctor, I have double pneumonia. So not myself right now, or for the last month for that matter, just trying to get by.

    Jeanne & Shirley, I don't think we could get rain if we danced in the streets naked! OH god, would that bring thunderstoms~ lol! Maybe thats what we need to do!

    Mellen...turkey bowling? lol I have not heard of it, but sounds like fun girl!

    Remy! I have man hands! lol Unfortunately, its the truth. I was so thrilled when Julie had tiny little hands and feet both! She sure didn't get them from me, nor her long legs! But thank God (not her dad) she got them, lol

    April, you go girl! Remy always sends nice boxes! She's one of the best! Or maybe.............the very bestest!

    Theresa wishing the very best for dh! Hope everything turns out ok hun.

    SueG...........nobody's worried about getting a box from you hun! Chill............ (Ok, I'm sorry, I'm highly medicated at this moment, let me have some fun! lol) I need to have some fun!
    Susie don't ever doubt yourself! You're awesome!

    Susie,
    The box was for you (a belated Hostess gift). I originally planned on sending plants when the weather cooled off, but with the massive heat we had all summer nothing really looked good enough to send!

    Jenell,
    Your hostess gift will go out on Wednesday.

    No rain for you either?!! : ( If I could send some to you and everyone who needs it I would.
    I'm like you too; I just love fall, and hate winter.

    Carol,
    How much will it cost to ship that water out to all that need it? Hope you don't turn too green! : )

    Sassy,
    You should of went to the doctor sooner!
    Lol, so sorry about the hands. Good that Julie didn't inherit them. I bet you checked the grandbaby for them after she was born, lol.
    Awe thanks. It so sweet of you to say even if it is drug induced, lol!
    I'm not sure the shirt comes in adult sizes, lol. If it had been a woman, you know I would asked where it came from. : )

    Susie,
    The party sounds fun. I hope Sat. is nice. I have off and want to drive out to Pumpkinville with Gary. It is down in the hills where it is very rural and takes like an hour to get to, but we like to go. The ride itself is beautiful this time of year.
    It is always nice to get a surprise pkg. like you did.

    Hello everyone!

    Susie, so wonderful to hear from you the past couple of days. I have missed you so much. I had to laugh when you said something about your will. I don't remember, did your all your babies find homes?

    Sassy, My oh my, double pneumonia? I am so relieved you went to the Dr. and are on your way to recovery. I truly was worried about you. Why is it that we, me included, think we will get better with time? Where was that ever put in our heads, I wonder. Just glad you're getting better and your sassy ways will start to reveal themselves again. ;)))

    Shirley and anyone else who needs rain, I would "surely" be glad to share it with you!!! The rainfall totals for the state of Iowa for October have broken records for the most rainfall ever in recorded history. We are still mowing lawns. That never stopped all summer as the lawns never did brown out here. We have had only 1 frost here, too, and it is already Oct. 21. We have always had frosts and freezes by this time. This is too strange.

    Yesterday, after the ISU/Oklahoma football game, my parents came up, and my dad helped me plant bulbs. With them living so close, we are now able to come and go to each other's places and be home within the hour. I LOVE it. It used to be a 3 hour drive. Anyway, I/we got around 100 bulbs planted. In the meantime, my mom was in the house making stew. After dad and I got too tired to continue, we sat on the porch swing and talked. Again, I am loving having this time with my parents. They are 76 and 81 so time with them is precious. Yesterday, I got some plants in the mail that I ordered so I am going out now to get them in the ground. It is cloudy here today with more rain in the forecast, naturally. Yesterday, it was sunny with temps. in the 70's.

    Ladies, I want you all to know how much I appreciate all of you. We have always been a warm and caring group, and I truly, TRULY hope that we can continue. Just like with any group, we will have our bumps and bruises, but if we really care about each other, we will pick up and go on still caring about each other.
    Have a wonderful day,
    Mary Ellen

    New member here also. Carol - I do not have a full body with head pic but will see if I can get my daughter to take one in the next couple of days for you. I don't think 'Larry' would like to be put under my head LOL.

    Sue Guanzon hasn't posted yet but DC shows that the package got there on Friday. Hope you liked it Sue.

    I got back from a funeral today. One of my student's father died suddenly on Friday. The sweet thing is only nine years old and has a six year old sister as well. Mom is a volunteer in my classroom. Couldn't have happened to nicer people but isn't that always the way?

    Between that and my husband's health issues lately, I have been able to put things in perspective a little better. Life is precious!

    Hi All,
    I spent most of today planting stuff. I still have more to plant!!! I did take a pic of behind the garage. I have to download my photos though. I'll post a post about it later. Then I've been making seed envelopes. I have made so many and I have so many more to go!

    Lol, I don't think Carol should be allowed to type lists. : )
    Amy, Deb and Sassy are missing, not sure if anyone else is. It is LLbean, not Libean, and Ilovefarac, not Ilove franc!

    Lol, Bunny Hunting month! I'll get you Waskly Wabbit! : )

    Mellen,
    You are too sweet. : )

    Ok, I got to upload my photos,
    Remy

    Sorry Deb and Sassy you are both on the list. can't find Amy so left her off for now. Debby you could never be bad. never said I could spell, this is one of the reasons I need Shirleys help. Bunny your not bad I just miss bunny hunting, if I catch you it will be a hug. Melinda, I have been thinking about your mom lately, she is missed. big hugs carol

    Good morning all! Yes, Carol, I too miss my mother drastically! Actually it gets more as time goes on instead of less. I never dreamed it would be so hard without her.
    I never see a new plant or seed that I don't want to share with her. And now it is almost wintersowing time and we always loved to do that! I didn't do any last year but will again this year! I'll plant and cry, plant and cry, I am sure!
    Hope my box comes this am! Been anxious as been over a week now!
    Melinda

    Big hugs to you Melinda, I miss her too, she was my swap partner for a year and I loved picking stuff for her, she was always so appreciative, prayers and big hugs for you. I know she is happy tending gods flower beds. love ya Carol
