-10F pre wind chill in my backyard.
So here I sit 9:00 AM and the temp outside is -6F pre windchill Nino Shmino who the hell cares? The weather here is so variable it would not even register. Sorry I'm a little grumpy right now. But battling a frozen garage door for 45 minutes while the little woman issues instructions from her warm perch does not float my boat. Reminder: Get red roses to make up for yelling at her. My language was less than stellar but wass fiery enough to melt the ice. -- Theo in Zone 5 Kansas City "Radika Kesavan" wrote in message ... Theo Asir wrote: Enough Already!!! Here I am living in -10F nightly chills and this discussion on too much warmth blithely goes on & on & on. Brrrrrh!! Have some consideration people.Heh! -- Theo in Zone 5 Kansas City LOL! Sorrrry, Theo. OTOH, do you see any effects of the El Nino winter that the rest of us are complaining about? Is it -10F after windchill taken into effect or before? Hang tough and dream of spring .... -- Radika California USDA 9 / Sunset 15 |

Reminder: Get red roses to make up for yelling at her. My language was less than stellar but wass fiery enough to melt the ice. Well, here in Nashville, there's an inch of snow on the ground and it's 8 degrees. That's not counting the wind chill, which is below zero. It's only going to get up to about 18 degrees today (with gusts up to 20 mph) and it's going to hover around the 0 level again tonight. We'll see how the standard fares through this pretty brutal weather. Oh yeah, speaking of red roses, I went to have dinner with the recipient of my red rose and she had it on the table. It was still unfurling. She commented how fresh it still looked. To me, it was a shining beacon of my stupidity. As Bart Maverick once said, "Never tip your hand before you draw your two cards" (Well, I don't know if he actually said it, but I suspect that he *would* say it if necessary g). I made sure that I moved it off the table (I had the advantage of it being a small table and the pre-meal scrabble board took up much of the table). You know, it's a shame that "love at first sight" is sometimes a one-way street. Of course, you have to keep on driving until you find a way to turn around or it turns into a two way street. I'm still driving straight ahead. I only hope there isn't a wall ahead or that I at least find a turnoff first chuckle. |

It is very windy and will be very cold tonight--ice is almost always the problem. Much worse is the typical southern snow stupidity--over a thousand weather-related traffic accidents across the state. How hard is it to grasp "stock up before and stay home until it thaws." We'll see how the standard fares through this pretty brutal weather. Oo. It isn't even heeled in?? Hope it makes it. I still have some babies in pots, but they are close enough to the house that I think they'll be okay. I've reached the point where I don't flip out over them--I had to kill my first rose to lighten up! Oh yeah, speaking of red roses, I went to have dinner with the recipient of my red rose and she had it on the table. It was still unfurling. She commented how fresh it still looked. To me, it was a shining beacon of my stupidity. No, no, no. Well, maybe. But there are women who don't play those games. In my experience, it has been men who appear to value affection less if it comes too easily. The thrill of the hunt, you know. You know, it's a shame that "love at first sight" is sometimes a one-way street. Dave, Dave, Dave. Should I ask about the point of origin of this "love?" Or is that too cynical? I have experienced a bunch of things "at first sight," but never love. Maybe you're just lucky?! Of course, you have to keep on driving until you find a way to turn around or it turns into a two way street. I'm still driving straight ahead. I only hope there isn't a wall ahead or that I at least find a turnoff first chuckle. Don't give her too long. Does she treat you like gold? If not, move on. This is good behavior time, after all. And there are way too many people in the world for you to waste your time on anyone who doesn't treat you fabulously. |

My ex made a major mistake when he referred to me as the little woman. I may not be very tall but I am *not* "the little woman". This idiot couldn't do anything with his hands - electrical wiring, gardening, working on a car, maintenance around the house - I did it all. Yet, he referred to *me* as the little woman. *hmph* Current partner knows that I'm quite capable and just lets me go. We have a an unwritten rule around the house - no expectations of the other person to help with any project one initiates. This works really well and svaes from lots of hard feelings. Not saying we don't volunteer to help the other with a project, just no expectations unless the project is planned out together. Office is on severe weather policy today so I'm sitting at home. I only wish I could be outside working in the yard. Hands are itching to do something but our kitten won't let me do any needle work. He seems to think needles are things to play with. Last night I caught him chewing on a hat pin. I still don't know how he was doing it without poking holes throughout his mouth. (I took it away from him and checked his mouth.) Oh well, I guess it's time to play some more with the indoor plants. I've already put some thai and genovese basil seeds in pots today. Susan s h simko at duke dot edu |

Hmm!!
Seeem to have touched a nerve there. But not that I'd get away with calling her a little woman too. She's still gets touchy about the 'wife' label, won't change last name(not that I care), weaned me off the female term kinda person. Now there's another term that gets women going. Call them 'Female' as in "you're just a female." and watch the sparks fly. Though women around here seem to be a lot less sensitive to this than women on the coasts. I can counts gaff's & innuendo the rednecks in my office drop without narry a reaction from the women. Can't figure that one out. -- Theo in Zone 5 Kansas City "Susan H.

It is a pity, "love at first sight"Sometimes a
One-way street. Of course, you have to continue driving until you find A way to reverse or turn it into a two way street. I still Driving straight ahead. I only hope there is no wall in front, or I Find at least a first laughed off.

Timing is determined by the class of the rose plant and the zone in which it is growing. Most rose pruning is done in the spring, with the blooming of the forsythia as a signal to get moving. If you don't have forsythia...
