11985. Magoseph - 11/8/2004 3:46:39 PM Good morning, I'm alone today--Flexy is in the hospital undergoing tests that will determine if he can be operated on soon. After realizing that his patient was up in years, the surgeon demanded that he checked in last night.
So, this is the time for me to organize his office desk and throw away much junk lying around in that room. Now, I'm walking to the village to check out the new coffee shop, that is supposedly the elite answer to the other two.
Hi, Mac and Ali! 11986. Macnas - 11/8/2004 4:15:50 PM Don't tell Flexy you're rearranging his desk Mago, it might exacerbate matters! 11987. RickNelson - 11/8/2004 4:47:31 PM ya can say that again.
But checkin' out a new coffee hangout is a good thang.
I've not seen the health issue in the Health thread, so I would be catchin' up Mago. I hope you're doing Ok and all will be well. 11988. alistairconnor - 11/8/2004 4:55:25 PM Message # 11977 Mago, I'm tempted to post a photo of the daughter of the friends we visited this weekend. Sweetie. Nearly two. First-time parents, mid forties. Never too late.
Go to, Elliott. 11989. Jenerator - 11/8/2004 4:57:25 PM (MS. No, how's the garden coming along?) 11990. judithathome - 11/8/2004 5:03:46 PM Oh you missed your chance, Jen...you could have asked
MsNo, how does your garden grow.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) -- Arkansas teachers have been told they can continue to reward students with candy, despite a state battle against childhood obesity in schools.
The Pulaski County School District had told elementary school principals last month that teachers could no longer hand out candy or ice cream as rewards.
But state Education Department director Ken James said no such directive has been approved by the state Board of Education.
``We need to be conscious of what we are doing in terms of sugar content, but we have not dictated to schools that they cannot use those as rewards,'' James said.
11992. PsychProf - 11/8/2004 5:42:34 PM hey Tony... 11993. Jenerator - 11/8/2004 6:04:30 PM Good one, Judith!;-)
Btw, did you get to enjoy the weather this passed weekend? 11994. Magoseph - 11/8/2004 6:25:53 PM Mago, I'm tempted to post a photo of the daughter of the friends we visited this weekend.
Please Ali, let us see that baby girl. One of these days, why don't you post some pictures of the chic women Jen told us are in France?
Well, Flexy's desk is still in its usual disarray. I'm on my way to spend time with him. He called and wants me to hold his hand.
If you see A-4, tell him to come here and answer my question in the following post. 11995. Magoseph - 11/8/2004 6:26:43 PM Tall, blond, blue, funny, literate. Taken.
I like that so much more than this--short, blond, blue, sexy, literal-minded. Taken.
A question for A-5--when it comes to survival, who is going to be still standing--the short sexy blond or the tall funny blond?
11996. Ms. No - 11/8/2004 6:55:00 PM Jen,
The garden is good. Got my first two gardenia blooms and they smell wonderful. Oddly, there's been a lot of clover popping up in the garden. Now, there was nothing growing in this box before I went and broke up the cement passing for dirt and I certainly didn't plant any clover, but there's plenty of clover in the neighborhood.
I thought the stuff had to be blooming to send spores/seeds/whatever over to my little plot. Apparently not. So I was plucking clover this weekend. It's kind of cool because they come up in single shoots and when you go to pull them these long, long roots come out of the ground.
Had a major freak-out over a spider in the watering can and did the Chicken-on-a-Griddle Spastic Dance of Shame for my neighbors. That was a high point for the weekend, let me tell you. 11997. Jenerator - 11/8/2004 7:17:05 PM hahahahahaha!;-)
As for weeds, there are probably billions of dormant seeds in your ground. I actually had something pop up in one of our flower beds that was unidentifiable. I took it to a local gardening expert and he was stumped. It was like a thistle/fly eater on steriods. We dropped it off at the Arboretum, and no one has called us back. Yikes! Thankfully, that is the only one we've seen.
Everytime I look at my cyclamen, I think about ya. 11998. Ms. No - 11/8/2004 7:38:24 PM Oooh! What color are yours? I've got the pale pink ones.
Your plant makes me think of The Little Shop of Horrors. I'm sure you're right about the doormant seeds and if clover is the worst of it then I'll be quite happy. It's easy to pull and there wasn't any massive carpet of it so only took about five minutes to do the whole bed.
Judging by what I pulled out of the ground I'll be lucky if I don't get garlic and scissor plants with a nice border of peanuts and ivy. 11999. Jenerator - 11/8/2004 7:43:07 PM I was literally afraid to touch one of the leaves for fear that it would close up around me and eat my hand off. I used a shovel(!!) to dig it up - root and all.
I hate dandelion weeds because the roots burrow deep into the ground and must be dug up. If you pull them without getting all of the roots, another one will sprout up. Oh and their roots snap off mid-pull.
My cyclamens are bright red. 12000. ElliottRW - 11/8/2004 8:02:49 PM I have never, ever, had a millenial post. 12001. Jenerator - 11/8/2004 8:07:22 PM Yay! 12002. Ms. No - 11/8/2004 8:07:27 PM Oh how cool!!!!
Congratulations!
I can't believe I didn't even notice where we were or you can bet your bippy I would've raced you for it.
Nicely done! 12003. ElliottRW - 11/8/2004 9:38:16 PM I'm so happy. 12004. arkymalarky - 11/9/2004 1:16:51 AM Congrats Elliott! Must be the new thread.
WRT pulling plants, nutgrass is the worst.
