I named her after a Rock band and it fits well with her. She is a mystery plant as I do not know her bloom colour. It may be some time before I get that answer but she is doing well.
What are you going to do from now on Michelle, will you have to avoid that store? the kind store-lady might have another batch of plants waiting for you
I tend to keep the early generation in high regard, the group before death struck in August of 2020 and the arrival of Plant Tower in November. Each plant as a story.
I have found a place here where I can balance out the worry and stress that is here to stay , by being someone else....in fashion or hiding behind the anonymity provided by Biggie.
Honestly, it’s my favorite holiday. And sadly i think it gets forgotten so often because of Christmas. We all have things to be thankful for, whether we realize it or not.
In my house growing up Christmas was a mish mosh as far as what we would eat. It was usually roast pork, fresh ham, goose, duck, fish, or something like that. I wouldn’t have minded turkey again but I guess because of Thanksgiving we never did that. Nowadays we’ll have something easier, like pasta. Usually it’s lasagna or baked ziti now.
I'm terrible at times, I will be sat happily watching TV or whatever and then my mind sometimes wonders ... "mmm what do we have in the cupboard, I'm peckish"
I was never into anything in the orange family for some reason, and DFF will eat almost anything non-living. Perhaps I should start, as I know tangerines are very good for you.
Oh no, that’s not extreme at all anymore. I deliver food to houses all day long. People order all kinds of stuff; bread, cupcakes, bagels, steaks, seafood, etc. I delivered a pig last week for a party. So I don’t think ordering a few crisps is so bad!
I'm terrible at times, I will be sat happily watching TV or whatever and then my mind sometimes wonders ... "mmm what do we have in the cupboard, I'm peckish" ... when the truth is I'm just being greedy. Luckily, at the moment my current craving is for tangerines so at least they're healthy.
Well beer which was my craving is only barley hops and yeast. Healthy in every way!
Interesting fact, when I was getting ready to walk to One Stop I thought Hey, take the iPhone and soundtrack the beer run with some "bangin' tunes" Was intending on Sugababes to start with, but for a unknown reason I navigated to podcasts and saying hey, been a while since I was here and hit play.
Circling back to Charlotte De Witte's live techno sets was a winning idea.
If dark minimal twisted underground techno is what you need to keep living right. I recommend highly her live sets.

I like how much Thanksgiving means to you and your country and I agree, we do all have so much to be thankful for.
I remember as a child watching films and when Thanksgiving was being celebrated I just thought it was a different name for Christmas, how thick was I? no, don't answer that

Unless I'm really tired I'm the same. I bought a big pack of grapes the other day for my family to share, they've all gone, all eaten by me (in an hour) whilst watching TV.
A pig? poor little pig, but having said that I do love pork.
I've never ordered food online apart from hampers as gifts for other people, I did try to do our shopping on-line at the height of the pandemic and was unable to get a delivery slot.
Hope are we doing DFF as regards reaching our goal?

Ah you might be able to answer one of my daft questions here. I've always wondered , what is the difference between a Podcast and a radio show? I honestly can't work it out.
@Spooky Lashes Wow, you are really up north. If the wind blows you south, Basingstoke is a pretty worthwhile way point. Let me know when you're near, I'll prepare the peace pipe.
I'm not to clear on the delineation is between podcast and a radio show. I've just always navigated to podcast when exploring.
Yes the lady's from Belgium, Ghent I believe. I stumbled across her by noticing that she was one of very female DJ's spinning techno as click on her set to see what she was about and have to say, not disappointed. So, I sing her praises.
In all seriousness she is really worth investigating.
We definitely do! Even DFF can forget how thankful he should be sometimes. I think around the holidays I get reflective about a lot of things I don’t have and I forget for a minute about all the things I do have. Luckily I’m always reminded.

Growing up we did a lot of that. My grandmother and her sisters would make so many different kinds of cakes and pies at Christmas. Now it’s a little different. This generation of my family doesn’t do as much of that but I sure wish they did. But we do have a lot of different kinds of Christmas cookies. Sis-in-law handles most of that as she’s a terrific baker. But she’s very strict and yells at DFF for “illegal sampling” before dinner. DFF quite often has a few bruises by the time dinner is served every year.

I see. You’d be surprised how much food we were delivering in the summer of 2020. We still are but nothing like back then. I was literally going to the same houses a few times a week bringing them pretty much their weekly groceries. The stores were empty. It was mostly a lot of older people that were afraid to go out. It was quite sad but that was the reality of it.
Our goal was 4500 by November 1 so we’ve already surpassed it. Time to set a new goal. I’m going to throw out there 4625 by December 1 since we’re already at 4515 with a week to go in October. DFF putting the Christmas pressure on all of you!!

If I may answer ur question ur Daftness, a radio show is live with a set day and time while a podcast is prerecorded for editing reasons. Other than that, there’s really not much difference between them.
Yes, they were a good Rock band. BTW here is an image of my Flyleaf.
She came to me last month (like Tippie) naked in a box from Indiana. She has leaves that were damaged by withering, a true plant in need. This image is a few days after I got her. Now she is sprout a new leaf and she inherited PV's old pot.
What are you going to do from now on Michelle, will you have to avoid that store? the kind store-lady might have another batch of plants waiting for you
LOL, well Michelle ran into that this week, Monday. Orchids are not selling well for $22 so she has had many that have been there since August or earlier. Just as I was leaving she said "wait". She asked it I wanted four more. I knew there were ones in decline in the past few weeks when I have been there. I said yes, of course. I could not seem them being tossed in the bin. I just took these loveys and headed to my local Lowe's (hardware store). I bought a new wire shelf (Plant Tower #2) and returned home and ordered a new plant light. I knew this was to happen as some point.
Agreed! In the past two months I have been given eight free orchids so I'm happy to save these plants. It's a hobby I enjoy! Thank you for getting me into this with your talk of Orkie years ago.
Indeed, even with this October haul from the grocery store the flower lady dropped one of the orchid's exterior pot and she thought I would reject the plant. Of course not but that makes for another story for that plant that I will remember and put into my book someday.
left to right. 3 of the 5 from the September haul. Stratus, Singer and Pumpkin. Right are the yet unnamed Orchids from this October haul, this past Monday.
I have two others from the September haul that were not photoed as they have dropped their blooms. BTW, the images were taken on the new Plant Tower #2 which is not finished.
Wow, you are really up north. If the wind blows you south, Basingstoke is a pretty worthwhile way point. Let me know when you're near, I'll prepare the peace pipe.
Oh I see. This brings me to yet another daft question may I ask where do you find your Podcasts? its just that I'm new to Podcasts and the only site I've found them so far is BBC iPlayer.

I'm ashamed to say I've still not given Charlotte a listen. I promise, the very next song I listen to (which will be when I log out of here) will be one of hers

It was the same for us. My Mum and my Grandma did a lot of home baking and preparation for the food we ate over Christmas. My Grandma would make her own traditional Christmas pudding which contained coins ..... I'm just glad none of us choked on them

I'm currently addicted to red grapes, they're so yummy. One of my friends mixes red grapes with tuna and puts it on a sandwich, I've not tried this yet.
