<p>Garden news of the day: exchanged infant volunteer violet plants for friend’s excess hot pepper seedlings. Watermelon and other seeds are sprouting, but I can’t tell yet what most of them are. Pokeweed temporarily under control.</p>
<p>Sorry I wasn’t there to pull you off the ledge.</p>
<p>I’m better now - thanks 
and the kitchen is clean and I still don’t have pokeweed - shotweed, but no pokeweed.</p>
<p>Two things not posted and it isn’t even 8 a.m. yet. I am on a roll!</p>
<p>Why oh why do they keep posting??? must resist!!! Bathroom clean but all else a wreck. Why must I clean rather than post.</p>
<p>Who knew that I would be over here not posting about suburban lawn care?! Maybe I should be out before 9am on Mother’s Day edging my lawn . . . hmmmmmm. What is worse, no “gully” between the grass and curb or a crazy lady in her jammies with a string trimmer? ;)</p>
<p>Here. Not there. Why did I even open that thread up today? Too bad it’s raining. There is grass to be trimmed and if I take time to look, I bet there is pokeweed to be smited. I may have to clean house instead. Pooh.</p>
<p>leave it alone</p>
<p>I’m grinning like an idiot, reading through all this! 
What a hoot we all are, yes, sometimes sitting in our PJs until noon with lawns to mow and toilets to clean. My neighbor suggests I mow the lawn IN my PJs with the sprinkler on, so that I get my ‘shower’ in while doing a chore away from CC. And, CC stands for “computer crack” in our house…I am well and truly addicted to the hard stuff…</p>
<p>Dear absweetmarie,</p>
<p>The entitled and clueless we have always with us. Do not take the bait.</p>

<p>What I want to know is why a certain person ALWAYS has a host of friends, relatives, or HS classmates whose experience can be used to bludgeon others in lengthy posts, no matter what the issue!</p>
<p>^they’re not real.</p>
<p>I did not scroll past the second page to check up on TTTCNBN. I did take the Round-Up out of the shed, and I did smite some weeds. I did find two more infant sweet pea plants along the fence. I did not get Round-Up on them by accident.</p>
<p>All in all a well methadoned day.</p>
<p>Here not there.</p>
<p>Here not there. And not those other places either.</p>
<p>oh boy . . . that’s a doozy
not posting on a thread that’s gone completely sideways
kitchen is mostly clean but there’s still a broiler pan that needs some steel wool and elbow grease</p>
<p>typed and deleted :)</p>
<p>oops - slippery slope - counting to 10</p>
<p>Here. Not there. Whew.</p>
