    Whew
    Thank you all for not calling me "A Big Girls' Blouse". Thank goodness I had today off to recover.
    When I got to the till yesterday, my boss was dealing with a customer so I was trying to portray to her what the problem was using sign language etc... She was in tears when I started waving my head around with a fixed glare and flicking the tip of my tongue out.
    Strange sense of humour some of these people have.
    Hugs Jxxxxxxxxxxxx

    Hey, J the Snake Charmer!
    SO glad you had today off from work!

    Kind regards, Susan

    Day off
    Hey Susan!!!!!! I hit my first Garage sale today!!!!!! I am delighted.

    I got an antique cast iron park bench ($5can)..just needs nuts/bolts and wood slats. and 4 plants for $4can. 2 lily of the valley, 2 forget-me-nots.

    I had a great day. Even did a load of laundry and got it out in the sunshine!

    AND... I planted loads of plants in the front garden. Buggerrrrrr, I'm knackered now. Hugs Jxxxxxxxxx

    YAY! for J!
    AWESOME! And you accomplished ALL of this before noon?!? No wonder you're "knackered"!

    And, my compliments to you for excellent Retail Therapy practice! Good job!

    Now, go take a nap! :-)

    Tasha's day off
    I am butting in on this one, I LOVE garage sales, especially if they have plants. I usually go to the clearance aisle to get the ones half dead, then I am so happy when I can bring them back to life. I have been buying bunches of plants, but they have been piling up on my front porch waiting for me to put them in the yard! the bench sounds great too! I have a mini one in my front yard that a large ceramic frog sits on! Post some pics please?

    Dear Cat...
    Please, dear, you are most certainly NOT butting in - ALL are welcome to join in on any and every discussion!

    I'm fond of garage sales, too. And yard sales!

    I'm very impressed by your obviously "green" thumb. I call those sorts of plants "orphans"!

    Kind regards, Susan

    Ahhh thanks 12/25!
    Orphans, I love it, I can now tell my husband I adopted more plants instead of bought them. He doesn't really complain, just kind of rolls his eyes now. He has given up. Good. I have lots of yard, front and back, so I am always trying different things with it.
    Love playing in the dirt. Always was a tomboy. This just makes it legit. ha ha
    thanks for the shout out

    Another slant...
    Hey, Cat... Another slant on Retail Therapy...

    Yeah, you don't BUY the plants - you ADOPT them! (And, of course, there's a very small adoption fee.)

    HA HA!!!

    for you garage sale and plant loving girls
    Just had to share....

    I went to a baby shower at my oncologist's partner's house yesterday. Just a coincidence his wife is related to my friend...ALSO, onc is married to another onc, so.....
    They had this huge mansion of a house on a lake here. Their landscaping was so beautiful and I kept thinking the whole time, I could fill up a bag with cuttings from their plants and they would never even miss them. I have already spent about $300 on new plants the last couple of months, and still needs some yard improvement, so gosh, I was thinking about what else I could have spent that money on and got plants for free!

    I think I am getting more like my mom....she would have just done it and giggled all the way home!

    Well, at least I found out where some of my money goes, since he is in the same practice with my onc :-)

    Maybe they'll let me come over again, since I didn't steal anything :-)

    snakes
    OMG! That made my skin crawl! We have big huge scary rattlesnakes in Texas.
    We even have a rattlesnake roundup in a small town near me. Stupid people catch them, show them off, eat rattlesnake meat, etc...it's gross and I will NEVER attend THAT celebration.
    What a stupid party!

    I used to be one of those stupid people
    In my younger hippie days, when we lived on a ranch, we caught them and gave them to the university to milk them of their venom. I also ate it once, thanks, but will never do that again. Had to try it!

    Sounds like you really made up for your day of snake fright! Shopping and planting sound great and just what you needed.

    tried that
    I tried a piece at a rattlesnake festival in Mangum,Oklahoma. I think I got either part of a neck or a piece with tendons in it-it was kind of like gristle off a bone.
