    michigan bulb catalog

    He says it depends on the plant, how hardy it is, and the size of the pot. A bigger pot is better, or you can insulate the pot. Daylilies, coneflower (echinacea), black eyed susans should be just fine. If it's closer to the house, rather than the middle of the yard, it'll do better, too. It's...

    michigan bulb catalog

    He's out puttering in the yard (in the rain:o:p:eek:) now. I will ask, and let you know. I would think it would be ok, because the ground freezes solid and things don't die, but what the heck do I know? Nan

    michigan bulb catalog

    My husband is in the industry (degree in horticulture/design and an estimator for a living), and also an avid (crazy) gardener. He's also a certified Master Gardener, so I trust his plant judgement. Any time he orders anything it's from Bluestone Perennials. I don't know if they do bulbs or not...

    Good luck with your half!! I know exactly where you're coming from. Training for my first half was the hardest thing ever. If you're up to 12, you are good to go!!! You should be on a taper at this point anyway. Relax and have fun!!! Nan

    frustrated with my runs because of being anemic

    Equaline (Jewel brand) Ferrous Sulfate Iron Supplement Therapy. 325 mg Ferrous Sulfate. It's the store brand for Feosol. It's by the vitamins at the grocery store. I can't recall how much it was, but I know it was less than $10 for a bottle of 250, and they had buy one get one free. I haven't...

    frustrated with my runs because of being anemic

    Good luck!!! If it's just here and there days, maybe it's nutrition or work stress? Who knows. I sincerely hope you find the solution, because I know it sucks. Nan

    Outlander by Diana Gabaldon - anyone?

    I liked 50 Shades :o:o:o:o Not because it's great literature (it sure isn't!!!!) but it was a fun read. It had entertainment value, and some laugh value at some points. Nan

    Outlander by Diana Gabaldon - anyone?

    I get that, and the context. I've read other books with a similar theme/vein, but something about this one rankled me. To each his/her own. Lots of people love them. And I get the idea of the enduring love story, but something about Jamie (???) rankled me and pushed my buttons. What is odd...

    Outlander by Diana Gabaldon - anyone?

    This is one I don't get. Everyone loves this book. A hero who beats the snot out of the heroine? No thanks. That was my take away. And she was supposed to be a modern women, even though she was transported back. And she took it? Hell to the no. My .02 Nan

    frustrated with my runs because of being anemic

    I just (3 weeks ago) got diagnosed with being iron deficient (no iron stores/reserves) but not anemic. My blood counts were good, my reserve tank was empty. I can tell you I understand. I felt like crap for about 8 months before I finally gave up and went to the doctor. I thought it was stress...

    Plica syndrome

    Back off a few days, ice, elevate, and Advil or Aleve. You'll be right as rain in a couple days. Maybe try just walking, that might help to. You'll feel better if you keep moving, it'll flush the swelling out, and keep the joint from getting stiff, but take it easy!! Nan

    Barbell bar calculated in total weight?

    The weight includes the weight of the bar. It's the TOTAL weight you're lifting. I've made the happy mistake of adding wrong before and realizing I could lift more than I thought! "Why is this so heavy??" Recount. "Oh, that's why!" But I did it!!! Nan

    Remember Whooping?

    I talk to her, too! My hubby now knows that if I'm talking from the basement, I'm probably talking to the TV. Especially if I say "let's not and say we did" or "please to make it stop" or "ugghhhhhhhhhhhh ooooffffffff" Nan :p

    Sizing for Ryka's

    I'm a 10 in almost any shoe, and I find it holds true for Rykas as well. If the shoe doesn't fit me in a 10, chances are it won't fit in another size for me. It just isn't right for my foot. Nan

    Plica syndrome

    I had it done several years ago. 2007, I think. It was easy. A few hours at the ambulatory surgery center, most of which was paper work and waiting around. The actual surgery was probably about 45 minutes, but I was asleep, what do I know. I asked if they could do it with local anesthesia or a...
