It's too late now Luther, I've done paid for them! :lamo Two 50 footers cost me just under $60. Would the Gardener Guy Paul James lie to me. He said they are the most durable with super brass fittings....... we shall see. :lol:. I put out a lot for the ones we have now. They are heavy duty and yet they still kink and weigh a ton to haul around. They are a real workout maneuvering them through the yard. No one should have to work that hard to water flowers.

Were you near Lake Canandaigua? I love it up there. They have some nice wineries and some of the best cheese curds I've ever eaten.

I'm pretty much the other side of the state from there, in the Albany area. It's been a long time since I was out that way but there definitely are some good wineries.

Hey Pol, after I had the flu the first of the year, I started taking a vitamin supplement. You need sufficient B vitamins for energy. All the B vitamins work together to help the body release the energy it gets from carbohydrates, proteins and fats.
I simply picked up One A Day, Women's Formula with 100% DV of all 8 B-vitamins and did a bit of research on what foods are rich in all 8 B-vitamins. I found I wasn't eating enough fish and needed to increase things like eggs. After about three weeks taking the vitamins and making an effort to eat things rich in them, my energy level increase. I'm really tired tonight, but looking at what I accomplished, this ole gal is feeling pretty good!

:thumbs: I had a complete physical recently, and all they came up with was a sluggish thyroid, so I am now taking an iodine supplement in addition to all the regular vitamins that I have always taken. They suggested that I drink Ensure or something similar for extra minerals, which I have also started doing. I have always taken all the B vitamins in the form of brewer's yeast capsules with added B12, seven per day right before bedtime, which my doctor recommended.

When I was a first time blood donor when the Bloodmobile visited where I worked, the Red Cross nurses were startled at how high my red blood cell count was, and they re-took my blood, thinking they had made a mistake, since it was comparable to what most men had, which was much higher than women usually had. I told them it was probably all the stuffed peppers I had eaten as a child, and we all laughed at that. As it turned out, they hadn't made a mistake, so they asked me not to routinely give blood at the bloodmobile, but to be an on-call donor for emergencies at hospitals when they needed whole blood of my blood type, which I did. I gave that way seven times over the years, so it wasn't a regular occurrence, but I always had to go immediately when they called. Maybe my blood saved a life that day? I never knew because they don't tell you, but I always hoped so!

Greetings, MMC. :2wave:

I think she meant dessert type food goodies - she's lived long enough in Dallas to know you don't want to have old leathery-looking skin from baking too long in that hot Texas sun. That mistake is usually made by wimmens that don't know any better! :lamo:

Very cool that you donate blood so often, I'm sure it has had life saving consequences
I don't know anything about sluggish thyroids but I guess if I encounter one down the road, I'll learn more about them. You asked me where I got all my energy. After that flu, I have never in my life felt so weak/drained and got on vitamin supplements and started checking out foods to boost my energy. It has delivered.
Been a beautiful day and another in store for tomorrow.

Imagine only getting half as much done as you wanted to do, and that's what a sluggish thyroid feels like! I hope you never have to deal with that! It's one thing to be a lady of leisure, but not when things have to be done! :thumbdown:

I have to take this..

I wonder if it has contributed to my bad arthritic knee. But if I don' take it I get almost narcoleptic

Gee Pol, that's got to be hard. So sorry. Just with getting older it takes me longer to get my engine out of park and into first gear in the mornings. It use to only take one cup of coffee. Now it takes two strong ones. It's suppose to get up to 80 today. I'm going to head outside as soon as it's daylight and start working in the back bed. It's going to take some doing to get it ready to plant.

 

[Smartmouthwoman]

<wishful thinking>

Mornin SMW. :2wave: Easy work week leading up to Mothers day for me.

Rain day here.....but work was alright last night. Until the car had some problems out in Indiana. I think it is the transmission. We have had nothing but trouble with the Ford Focus. So now I am writing Ford directly. We will see if they do anything for us.

 

[Smartmouthwoman]

Mornin, sugah. Sorry for the car probs... I hate cars when they act up.

Happy Monday, Vesper. :2wave:

As soon as I finish my :coffeepap:, I plan to get outside today, too - how about this weather? :thumbs: Hard to believe we were dropping into the 30s at night just a week or so ago, and slogging through feet of snow six weeks ago that had been on the ground for months! Weird Ohio weather! I'll take this any day, and I plan to have a huge garden this year to make up for the two cold and rainy Summers we lived through in 2013 and 2014. I hate to see plants struggle to survive, let alone be productive. :shock:

Afternoon Pol. It's break time. I finished the bed along the fence. Geesh that was a challenge. Planted my sunflowers. I still have a good size corner area to prep. I've got 4 packs of Heirloom Sweet William I'm going to sprinkle back there and just plant a border of annuals in front of it this year. The Sweet William may or may not bloom this year but next year they should look real pretty. Back to the trenches. the sooner I get done Wine Time begins.

Evening MMC. It's been a long day. I finished up with the corner just as a few raindrops started to fall. All the seeds I wanted to plant this year has been completed. Most of the beds have been amended with new garden soil. It was an all day affair. There is nothing on me that doesn't hurt and I am headed to the shower to try and wash some of the feel bad off. The rest I will nurse with Ibuprofen and wine. Cheers!

We are suppose to get hit with the rain tonight to.....Once again we had to get a rental, they never got to our car today. Just like I said to the OL. Instead, I got, oh they will get to it. :roll: I was like either way we will end up needing a rental.

She still came back and said well lets see what they say. Again I was like uhm, they will say we weren't able to get to the car today so we will look at, tomorrow morning. :doh

I have always preferred no tan line, but then I live in a part of Canada where clothes can be optional at times.

Sorry about your car MMC. Gosh with all the problems you have had with the car, you would think it would fall under a Lemon Law. I sure hope they fix it right this time.

 

[vesper]

I rather like tan lines and get a kick out of all the parts that were covered compared to the rest. Parts I wouldn't begin to show in public only to my significant other. Today I am sporting a farmer's tan after working outside all day in the sun. I thought it looked pretty cool too...... a badge of honor for a hard days work.

Well, I don't really expect much out of them despite all the ones they have sitting around they can't sell. At least she got the rental before they didn't have any. Otherwise it was falling on my last resort. Steal my brothers car. :lol:

I don't see any good coming from stealing your brother in law's car. :lol: Me thinks you need to trade that car in for another. Gosh what is this the 3rd or 4th time the car has broke down for the same reason and only 4 years old? That's a crying shame.

Well it's getting dark outside, been waiting for this moment so I could climb into my bed. MMC, I'm so tired a 5 mph wind could blow me over. I'm done, well done, stick a fork in me. goodnight!

Down here that's called a redneck tan. Tee shirts aide in keeping one cool when it's hot. That leads to the shirt line on the arms just below the shoulders, and the inevitable red neck. This, quite naturally, leads to racism.

Been working on my torso tan on the sun deck, but it's cool still because of the ocean down the street. I call it Inuit tanning, all bundled up except for the parts that show.
