Simply Filling/Core - Weekly Thread September 13-19View Full Version : Weekly Thread September 13-19 ontarget 09-13-2010, 12:15 PM New pages. :hug: ontarget 09-13-2010, 12:21 PM Good morning, Chickies. I had a rough last night because of eating a heavy meal for dinner. I know better. Vickie and JoJo have posts on the old thread. Go check take a peek. Rhonda, I hope you're all right this morning. I missed your "new pages." We appreciate your making the for us. Vickie, let us know how JC goes. I have OA this evening. We don't wi at meetings. We just work on the "head game." I am receiving an award tonight for 90 days abstinance from sugar. Life is good. JoJo, you're so cute. I am loving getting to know you. You have a wonderful personality. Ya'll check out all the hits we receive on our weekly threads. I wish those reading would stop in to say, "Hi," every now and then. We're watching "The Doctors." Good topic on junk food. Tejas 09-13-2010, 12:56 PM Can you believe I forgot it was Monday! Thanks for starting us up, Sandra. Yes, I have certainly noticed how many hits we get. Amazing that it's just a small group of us with so many "groupies"! I've been to "latin heat" and did some weight lifting since Todd won't be available for our Monday afternoon session today. Rhonda beach bum 09-13-2010, 05:02 PM Hi Ladies:) Had a busy day,and being that's its another cloudy day,going to use my bike for exercising today after I go to the Senior Center and watch a movie from on of the seniors going on a safari trip.Love to see animals running on the wild than caged up in a zoo.Tomorrow I'm going to make a batch of Rev Rolls now that I got my new [muffin top] trays to bake in. SANDRA-Thanks for starting us up.Sorry for your rough night,I'm getting that right now,it wasn't anything I ate but eating to fast makes me get acid reflex also. RHONDA-You're amazing with all that exercising your doing,I'm I tumble over lifting all those weights.But I guess having a trainer does help telling & showing you how to left them correctly. We have memorial services over here too Beachbum, over 60 Brits were killed on that horrible day and many of us have also lost loved ones and close friends in the IRA bombings, which lasted for many years. So our thoughts are with you Send me some tomatoes via cyberspace would you I lost all mine this year, the dog ate them before they developed from the flower stage! JOJO-Its that awful the way people from different and don't understand our culture and what to hurt in in such a horrible way. If there was a way to send my tomatoes to you cyberspace I would do so, I have so many that I had to get an idea of what to do with the, I found a way to freeze than after taking out the water & seeds from the tomato and than freeze them to make some kind of homemade tomato sauce in the winter time. I'm alive Chicks! Just stopped by to tell you I'm ok. I fell down a couple of steps the other day and it hurts to sit at the computer. That and I went to sit with my Sister who has sciatica again while her husband is at the hospital with his 92 year old mother. Lordy. VICKIE-Oh No!!! I'm sorry that your fell down a couple of steps.You must have hurt your tailbone. One of my friends friend did that just by stead down hard on a park beach, she's now in a Rehabilitation Center as she hurt her bad knee. Does the Golden years ever end be so rusty. Have a great day, see you guys tomorrow ontarget 09-13-2010, 06:31 PM This is a great time of year. We have at least 5 hummingbirds. Just read about them. Says these are young ones that are just now coming to the feeders as the older males have left heading south. I didn't know that till today. Last year we noticed a short "disappearance" then more than normal at our feeders. The cycle continues. I'm OP. Tejas 09-13-2010, 10:18 PM I went to aquafit tonight and that felt really good; I haven't been since last week. My eating has been rather chaotic but I did have a good lunch out: grilled tilapia, broccoli and a bit of wild rice. That's great about the hummingbirds Sandra. I think it's going to be next year for us. sloanie 09-14-2010, 12:11 AM Hey y'all, just got home from Bible study. I've read the posts but am too sleepy to stick around. Have a good night! jojo23 09-14-2010, 03:37 AM Morning all. Get the whining over first! I have made an apt to see the dietician who is working with me. My 2lb a week loss seems to have dried up. I get the feeling she will up my exercises. I'm not giving up on this week, and certainly not on the life style change but I think that as my body is getting used to being looked after, it needs the regime regulating. I have to be careful because 35 years ago I didn't walk for several months. A patient landed on my back (I hadn't upset him honest) and is one of the reasons I really, really, need to drop the weight, but not super quick. Anyway, I'm sure I'll kick start it again. I've also joined an aqua exercise class, off my own bat, because it is such a great way to exercise and so kind on the joints. I'll let you know what everyone says. I am taking one of neighbours, 92 and almost blind, to see her sister and only remaining relative, a mere 86; who is deaf. I'll be away until teatime. I don't know if you have ever heard of Hinge and Brackett? A drag act? but these two are their double in their ways! It is an education. My neighbour lives alone with just a little help with the cleaning and has a very full life. A grim grey day here. That rain which gets in every nook and cranny and very windy. Send some sun will ya? Tejas 09-14-2010, 09:34 AM Good morning: Believe me, Jojo, I know where you are. My weight will NOT go down and has even gone up, and up and down, by 5-6 pounds all summer. I've thought about seeing a nutritionist myself. Sandra, you said that were cutting out sugar, but you also said you were using Slimfast which I understand has a lot of sugar in it. Am I wrong about that? Just confused here, and trying to figure out what to do myself. I asked one of the trainers about what would be the minimum carbs that I should eat. He said 'there is no average, it is all totally individual.' Great. Oh well, back to simply eating good food and exercising. I start a new stained glass class, and a drawing classs this week and am looking forward to it. I can't remember if I told you that I got my tap shoes yesterday. Rhonda beach bum 09-14-2010, 01:14 PM Good Morning Ladies:) Had a busy morning,voting in a primary, walking along the beach for 30m,going to the bank and now I'm cooking my dinner. Going to bake my rolls this afternoon,and ride my bike for 30. I watched Dr Oz show and he has a thing for everyone who watches him should lose just 10 lb. for a healthy body and stop aging like we in the work are going. I signed up and will receive my 10 lb loss bracelet,to remind me that I have to lose my first 10 % by these 5 rules 1)no sugary sodas 2)don't eat after 8 PM 3)move[exercise]-10mins 4)no snacks bigger than your fist 5)track what you eat and track every day your weight. on this diet you can eat anything,but it MUST be in portion sizes. http://www.doctoroz.com/videos/5-commandments-lose-10-pounds Listen to what he says. SANDRA-I love this part of the year also,as we really don't have a spring up here it goes from winter into summer. The beach's are quite and all you see is some seagulls flying here & there,and the oceans waves crashing along the shore.Haven't seen any humming birds in my area,but that doesn't mean we don' have any. RHONDA- I love tilapia fillets I thought the were to little to put on the grill.Guess I give it a try. SLOAN-Hi:wave: see later, I have bible study on Thursday mornings between 10-12. JOJO-Some how I think when we reach a certain age our body's don't respond to diets like they did when we were young. I have been stuck on the 168-171 mark for a long time. It will be a miracle if Dr Oz's diet and commandments work,but I'm going to give it a try. My dinner is done so I'll see you guys laer ontarget 09-14-2010, 07:59 PM Rhonda, I have used our remaining SlimFast and didn't pay attention to the suga in it. I also have ketchup, bread, and other goodies that have sugar. I'm not having any sugar desserts. Before this I was having candy, etc.......... I haven't had any now in 98 days. I've lost well doing this but had a tough day yesterday with other foods. I did wayyyyy too much snacking. I think my problem was that I didn't enjoy any of my meals. Meals need to be appealing and filling. That way I do a better job limiting my snacks. Mostly I try to snack on fruit with some cheese and nuts. Yesterday? Old habits bit me in the butt. (but still no "sugar" [desserts]). As a result of yesterday's eating, I feel heavy today and am not happy about it. Probably a good thing I'm not weighing. I'm weighing every 30 days. Sometimes it's hard to not step onto the scales in between, but so far I've been strong and kept to my schedule. Curtis weighs every day. He's dropped about 20 pounds since his surgery. He lost his appetite for awhile and now he's trying to watch his portion sizes. And like you an JoJo, I'm wanting something to give me more of a lift now. OA doesn't promote any weightloss program. I'll keep on being abstinant from sugar (desserts) but I need to add something else to the mix. Some at the meeting have also given up the white stuff. I honestly don't think I'm strong enough to do that. I did it for 10 days and was not comfortable. I'm thinking of counting calories or points or working CORE. I am feeling better in my clothes and want to move on down to another size. I have gone from 16W pants to straight 16. I also know I need to add exercise. I haven't even been shooting much since my last injection. I'm going to get back into training by this weekend. Our next tournament is end of October so it's time to get with it again. Maryann, thank you for posting the Dr. Oz tips. I will do all but the daily weighing. I'll head over to sign up (if they'll allow me not to do the daily wi's.) in a few minutes. JoJo, the ladies sound like characters. You're a sweet friend to help them get together. Tejas 09-14-2010, 08:28 PM Hi All: I've had a busy day and am tired but have to go out to a meeting. I'm helping organize a public panel on the environment and energy. Fracking, a process of getting natural gas out of shale, is big here, and it's a problem. (You might have seen the hoopla in NY about it going on there.) I do hope we get this all figured out someday: how to have energy and not hurt the environment and people and animals. My eating was a bit carb heavy in the AM but I got some control later in the day. I've had too much fat (from PB and from almonds, so at least it was "good fat") and not enough protein. I'll try to fix that. I didn't exercise but I did a lot yesterday: latin heat class, weights and aquafit. And, I'll do more tomorrow. I'll listen to Dr. Oz now. ontarget 09-14-2010, 08:49 PM I listened to Dr. Oz and signed up for the 10 pound loss bracelet. Thank you again, Maryann, for the tip. Rhonda, your snacking sounds healthy. And your exercise? Amazing! I'm going to do a few minutes on the :ebike: That's not much but it's more than I've been doing. sloanie 09-14-2010, 08:53 PM Hey chickies! I've been counting calories and have been successful, so far. My weight is at 135, so that's down a little. I hope to keep that trend going. Jojo, your lady friends sound like a "hoot". I hope you had good time with them. When my grandmother and her sister were still living, they kept us laughing. Whenever one would leave the room, the other one would talk about how pitiful she was. We really do miss them! Rhonda, it's hard to imagine that you are not losing weight like crazy! Maybe a nutritionist would help. Sandra, I'm so proud of your giving up sweets! You are waaaay stronger than I am. Maryann, thanks for the info about Dr. Oz. I like him. Hey to the rest of you chickies! TTFN jojo23 09-15-2010, 04:21 AM I went to the surgery last evening and they seem to think that I am a bit anaemic. This is a regular occurrence for me because I am a natural red head and always look pale, while in reality, I am as hearty as a bull. Red heads fall into 2 categories: The flame-red hair with freckles, and those of us with light golden hair and pale skin who look like weve been dug up and hit with the spade. What ever it is, and even if I mark time for a few weeks or months I am not getting disheartened and not giving up. I shall go away on this visit at the weekend, have a lovely week. Wont overdo the eating all the wrong stuff routine but certainly wont sit there like the spectre at the feast refusing all but Spartan fare and by gum Im going to have the odd snort of falling down water when it comes my way. Much nicer day here today, the sun has bothered to get out of bed and show her face. Thanks everyone for the support. How could I fail with you lovely folk watching my back? Spot on Sloanie, the two old ladies were a hoot and a half. Ps. Who the heck's Doctor Oz:^:? I've heard of Dr Phil but not this one. ontarget 09-15-2010, 09:19 AM JoJo, Dr. Oz has been on Oprah numerous times and now has his own TV show. Dr. Oz co-authored You on a Diet and some other healthwise books. You might check out that site Maryann posted for more info on him if you'd like. I love reading your posts. Your wording is very refreshing. I always look forward to reading. You have a wonderful sense of humor. You and your friends will have a wonderful time this weekend. Watch out for falling water, though. My body is still fussing at me over my eating or should I say my "overeating"? I am feeling miserable this morning. Oh, well, life goes on. I'm up and dressed for Algebra I & II. Afterwards, I'm picking up the granddaughters to bring them over. They're going to do some fishing in our pond. Sloan, you are very close to goal!! I am so happy for you. I can't even picture my weighing what you weigh. You go, girl!! Rhonda, your body has firmed up with muscle. You're not fluffy at all. You look good. A nutritionist might help you get to the weight you want. Have you talked with Todd about this? Got to go. It's time. nancy237 09-15-2010, 11:59 AM Sandra..I have been meaning to send congratulations your way !! You asked about what work I am looking for ...I am a Speech/Language Therapist but haven't worked much while the boys were growing up. I am going to get an application in to our school system and then try to do some "PRN/as needed" work while I wait on a school system job. I love working in nursing homes & hospitals but I will be eligible for state retirement health insurance after 5 more years if I work with the schools because I worked with them before I stayed home with my kids. Health insurance is so expensive (and may get worse) so insurance coverage is a big deal. Robin had a problem with his left calf swelling and being painful on Monday. We had tests run to be sure it wasn't a blood clot , but they found a hematoma instead. It is better but he has had to have it elevated & iced this week. The weather has been nice here so he is discouraged to be back to the couch this week...I am just thankful it wasn't a clot. I am maintaining but not losing.. I feel like I only eat 1200 calories but maybe it is more. Sloan..your ideas about freezing core meals were really helpful. Robin eats the lean cuisine type frozen meals when he diets because it is portion controlled but I want to make some homemade meals that would be one serving. Our Franklin Covey store had a 50% sale yesterday and I got a red leather planner and a years worth of pages. I am so excited about getting it set up. I used to use a planner and it really helped me use my time efficiently. Right now I will go run an errand just because I don't want to forget it. When I am organized I make a list of errands and run them all at the same time . That's just one example . If I keep a shopping list in my planner, then I remember things when I am out and don't have to make many special trips. Just knowing everything is written down in one place is a great feeling. I am off to work on paperwork & my application. You would think I want to be an FBI agent with the size of this application. Tejas 09-15-2010, 03:24 PM Falling down water? :rofl: :cheers: Yes, I did talk to Todd and others. The suggestion was that I was not eating enough calories. Oh for heaven's sake! OK, OK. I know the theory. I'll try 1500-1800 and see what happens. Speaking of Todd, he is studying for tests and I'm on my own most of this week. I don't think I can make myself do 3 sets of 17 one-legged squats. :faint: I'll do fewer. Nancy, good luck with the planning. Sandra, hang in there, cuz. beach bum 09-15-2010, 05:12 PM Hi Ladies:) Enrolled into a walking tour for 6 weeks on Wed Morning with my friend Alice and met really nice woman.The town runs this for the seniors,it a group of 5-9 woman where the driver from the rec center takes the group in a van where we to go to a certain spot each week and walk for 1 hr. The driver walks with us and tells us about the different areas.Today we walked along the bike trail in upper cape.Its very exciting to go to difference places that I never seen since I moved here 13 years ago. They started the group Aug 09 until Nov 09 and than once again in Spring and now in the Fall again. SANDRA-Your welcome I love Dr Oz and now I found out that he moving to 10am spot in the morning,when I'm out walking.Going to tape his show everyday and than watch it later on in the evening. He gives so many tips on one show that my friend told me yesterday that it hard to keep all whats talked about in your head.Congrats on Curtis weight loss,I bought a 3 section child's plastic plate for my portion control dinners & lunches RHONDA-You're not the only one, I'm messing up on my carbs also ,that's why I went out an bought a muffin top pan and making low carb rev rolls and burger rolls for sandwiches. The pasta & rice carbs I'm going to use my new 3 section plate.Like to get to my first 10%[19 lbs] by the end of Oct.and before Thanksgiving & Christmas they're coming up quickly so I have to decide to making this plan of mine stick. SLOANE-WISH WISH I was down to your weight that exactly what goal that my doctor & I choose for myself. But first I have to get to 150 for my first 10% and than work on my second. Glad I could help I love Dr OZ more so that Dr Phil. JOJO-I hope your surgery was something serious. Anemic I think my DD has that, she on iron pills,As she doesn't eat meat.Have a wonderful weekend yourself. My twin DGD have red hair but toward the auburn type. They're father and my DH grand father had bright red hair. If you don't get Dr Oz just go to his website and you will get all the information you need.Never heard that expression [Falling Down Water]What does that mean????? Have a nice evening will be back tomorrow morning Tejas 09-16-2010, 01:02 AM Maryann, Jojo is gone I think. "Surgery" in Britain normally means "clinic" and I think that is what she meant. "Falling down water" is how she humorously described alcohol. Of course, we try not to reach that stage :lol: The walking tour you described sounds fantastic. What a nice thing to get to do. I went to aquafit today and kept my eating modest. I did enjoy a glass of FDW ('falling down water", in this case, wine) Night all, Rhonda jojo23 09-16-2010, 03:53 AM Falling down water Maryann is booze of any description and thanks for the Dr Oz info. Sorry about the mix up, surgery here is the family doctor's office. It holds several doctors, specialist nurses, physios, OT's and various counsellors. When my husband had his coronary in 2009, the cardiac doctor and nurses were wonderful and liaised with the cardiac intensive care staff at the hospital so that when he came home he was well supported. The services are free on the National Health. How are the hummingbirds girls? Last time I saw any was when I was overseas. We don't get them here. We are off over the county boarder today. Going into Worcestershire (where the sauce comes from. Many moons ago I spent a night in the house once owned by Mr Perrin one of the original sauce people… very opulent) Mark wants to go to a newly opened DIY because they have stuff on special. When our daughter died in May, we sold both our cars. Every time we got in one of them we could 'see' her sitting in the back sorting out her CD's and making sure she had everything for the journey. The memories were too painful. I know time will rub off the hard edges and they will mellow into warm ones, but that is a way in the future. So, we bought just the one car, a little Vauxhall just room for us and the dog. We will have to put the trailer on this morning to bring the goodies back. Over here a trailer is a sort of cart you attach to the back of the car. For the life of me, I can't remember what you call them. We should be back this afternoon, motorway (freeway) permitting. Have a good day everyone. Jo beach bum 09-16-2010, 10:14 AM Good Morning Ladies:) My other friend has invited me to be her guest for dinner at the Kansas City Steak House. So I have to get ready and going to miss my bible study for today. RHONDA-Thanks for explaining surgery & falling down water saying.My DH best friend came from England and I don't know what those saying were. I can't believe I didn't notice the walking tour in the senior bulletin until my friend told me about it. JOJO-Thanks for explaining the different phases that I never knew. My DH used to tell me the ones he knew,but I don't remember him using the falling down water. Oh MG!!! I had not idea what you are going though losing your DD like that. I'm so sorry,Its not suppose to happen like that where the child goes first.Try to have a good holiday today and many many :hug::hug: are going your way. Have to get ready for today events ontarget 09-16-2010, 04:55 PM Hi there, Chickies. Did I tell you about the fiasco lunch I made Monday? That plus dinner not being planned or prepared or bought was my downfall eatingwise Monday evening. Lunch? I had tried 2 new recipes out of my new "diet" cookbook. I made mistakes and lunch was really bad. Then I was home alone Monday evening with nothing for dinner. I should have picked up something on my home from my meeting. (Curtis was at Men's Discipleship.) Live and learn. Bad habits popped up all around me and bit me hard. Subbing Tues/Wed helped me get back on track. Life is good. I'm still abstinant from sugar (And when I say "sugar", I'm meaning dessert type foods.) for 99 days and am almost through with Day 100. Jo, we usually say, "trailer", too. When we lived in Montana, we had a Jeep Grand Cherokee with a "rack" on the back for hauling more than the Jeep would carry. I think you and your husband are wise to make changes. If you ever need to talk about your daughter, feel free to pm me. I may not know exactly what to say to help, but I'm a good listener. Maryann, you have so much fun. Makes me smile. Those walks in new areas sound like such fun adventures. Rhonda, you'll probably do a lot more exercise than I will. Are you upping your calories? I'll bet Todd's right. You're doing so much exercise, your body probably needs more calories. Your weight would probably start dropping instead of trying to hold on. I'm going to start shooting again this evening. I've mainly just watched my friend shoot and have been flinging just a few arrows. I'm ready to get more serious. Have a great day, everyone. Tejas 09-16-2010, 11:37 PM Today was my second day of working out without my trainer. I managed to push myself, even doing those dreaded single-leg squats. But, I did only 3 sets of 6, not 3 sets of 17. I have to have him yelling at me to do that many :coach: My eating was good, but here it is 9:30 and I want to eat. I think I'll go to bed with a book instead :book2:. I hope this will pass because I've had enough food today I think. 'night all jojo23 09-17-2010, 03:42 AM Blimey Tejas! If I tried to squat to get something out of a low cupboard, I'd need help to get up again! Sets of 17:dizzy: I'd have to lie down in a darkened room and wait for the ambulance after just one those. Ontarget Yep. I've had a few bad days this week too. I have grazed on things I really shouldn't have and to make it worse, someone told me yesterday that there are only 100 days left until Christmas. Maryann For 2 countries which share a common language we don't half have differences don't we? Here, the phrase 'Knock up' means to wake you up in the morning by knocking on your door. The first time I was in the USA, in all innocence, I asked a young man if he could knock me up when he was passing my door in the morning! You should have seen his face We are leaving mid afternoon for just over a week so will be back a week on Sunday. Take care everyone. Love Jo Tejas 09-17-2010, 10:54 AM That is a good one, Jojo :rofl: "knock me up"..great! Sandra, I meant to say that I'm sorry you got bitten...just keep on 'trucking. I'm off to tap dance :dance: ontarget 09-17-2010, 10:09 PM Jo, you're a hoot. "Knock me up" I'll bet his face did look funny. :) Have a good time on your trip. We'll be waiting to hear all about it. Rhonda, I am ashamed to say I did 5 minutes :ebike: so far this week. Thank you for the anti-bite thoughts. My eating's better but not stellar. I'm meeting an ex-student who is now a good friend for breakfast at Cracker Barrel early tomorrow. That'll also be a challenge. I'm tired. It's amazing how tired I get just from going to school and doing very little. Maybe it's all the "nothing" that's tiring. I am enjoying the kids, though, and look forward to going each time I'm called. sloanie 09-18-2010, 12:04 AM Hey chickies! I just got home from my sister's house. DH and I had dinner there. It's funny, I've been preoccupied with thoughts of my dad today, and when I got to visit with my mom and sis, I found out that they had, too. I wonder what that was all about. My eating has been wacky today. Hopefully I'll get it together tomorrow. Maryann, I'm so glad you have such good friends. I know you must really enjoy them. Rhonda, I'm impressed that you even exercised without Todd. It would be hard for me to push myself, too. Sandra, how's your back? I hope the shots are helping. I'm so glad you are enjoying your subbing. You can come sub for me any time. Nancy, good luck with your job search. How's it going? Jojo, have a wonderful holiday! Vickie, how are you three doing? I have a busy weekend ahead, but I will try to get by here tomorrow some time. Have a great night y'all! Tejas 09-18-2010, 04:17 PM Hi everyone: I've spent the morning delivering political material to members of the unsuspecting public trying to have a quiet Saturday morning ;) This afternoon I'm taking a nap, then going to a Blues festival downtown. I just loooovvveee the Blues and this promises to be a great event. I want to eat everything in sight. aarrrgggghhhhh But, I won't. (I might have to have some Bar-b-que though. What's the Blues without it?) Rhonda beach bum 09-18-2010, 06:01 PM Hi Ladies:) Sorry for being MIA for several days.I walked on Wed with the walking tour and than on Thursday I walked in the morning before being invited to a telephone co. pioneer dinner which I had a big huge steak mashed pot & mixed veggies. Than on Friday after the PB club my friend I walked all over the town before we come home I was death tired. Almost fell a sleep on the bus. Today I took a day off and rested than this afternoon my baked my rev rolls. SANDRA-That's too bad about your Monday recipe out not as you as you expected.We all have on of those days.I love being out of the house as much as possible but today I had to take care of me.Alice wanted me to go to a town fair but I was to exhausted to except,maybe I go on Sunday as there not good movies this week to see. JOJO-That's so funny,my DH good friend comes from England and some of the expressions he come out with always made me laugh. SLOANIE-I'm so blessed to have these wonderful friends,and we do enjoy each others company RHONDA-I had that problem with eating the other night I just couldn't stop. I now found my knitting and I'm going to start working with it while I watching TV instead of eating. Have a nice evening ontarget 09-18-2010, 07:13 PM Hi there. Vickie and JoJo, you're missed. Nancy, have you had success in your job search? Would hiring be mainly in the summer like the education field? Sloan, I'd love to come sub for you. Wish I could. I'm sorry you and your family had a tough day. That's odd that you all had it at the same time. I wonder what was triggering that. Rhonda, have fun at the blues festival. Have a drink for me tonight. I'll be outside flinging arrows readying for the Texas State Senior Games in Houston next month. I worked in the flowerbeds today an my back didn't hurt at all. I got so happy I cried a little while I was pruning rosebushes. Life i good. Got to go. I may take a quick nap before my gf gets here to shoot. Night night, Chickies. sloanie 09-18-2010, 08:09 PM Hey chickies, my morning started early with my Bible study leader's meeting from 7:30 to 9:30. I am so excited to do this study. This year it is Isaiah. It is a new study for Bible Study Fellowship, and I'm sure it will be very enlightening. After having lunch together, my mom, DS, and I went to an art show/sale at the art studio where I paint. It was very impressive with lots of paintings for sale by local artists. As usual I am evaluating my eating, and I really think 1200 calories makes me go crazy. I hate being "told" when to stop eating. I guess that's why core worked/works for me (when I apply it). I like being able to eat if I'm hungry. So, here I go again on the roller coaster. I will eat my frozen foods that I made (which are core), and I will keep on keepin' on. One of these days, I'll get these pesky pounds off. Sandra, I'm so happy about your back. That's awesome. Have fun with your GF tonight. Rhonda, you sneaky chick! Were people nice to you while you were campaigning? Maryann, you are smart to listen to your body and rest when it tells you to. Hey to the rest of you chickies! ontarget 09-18-2010, 10:23 PM Sloan, I'll bet ya'll really enjoyed the art gallery. Did you buy anything? I'm wishing you the best of success with getting those pounds off. I am very proud of you for what you've already accomplished. You'll get these last few off in no time. I've heard the last few can be the hardest. Just keep on. We had a lot of fun tonight. It's good to be back working in flowerbeds and shooting my bow. Tejas 09-18-2010, 10:51 PM Sandra, glad to hear that your back is so much better. Good for you. Sloan, most people are very nice to people who are doing political block walking. It's not hard once you get going. GET OUT THE VOTE! Can you send us a picture of some of your art work, Sloan? I'll see if I can post my stained glass work. I heard a little of the Blues today as I helped to set up a booth. But, I didn't go back out tonight. I'll go tomorrow afternoon. My eating was OK today, but I did have tacos for lunch. However, they were fish and were not fried. I had about 1/4 C of guacamole, and the same amount of beans and only a bite of rice. I made one of my shakes tonight..really good: skim milk, lf yogurt, lf cottage cheese and a peach. I did not go to the gym but I will do something physical tomorrow. I hope you have a good night all. Tejas 09-19-2010, 03:33 PM Last and first one prize for me! I changed my avatar so that you can see my stained glass piece. It represents a canyon in west Texas where I hiked. But, mostly, take a look at that right forearm! :barbell: beach bum 09-19-2010, 04:05 PM Hi Ladies:) Just finish reading the local paper and thought I came here for a while. Going to me my friends at the pizza place this afternoon.Was going to go to the movies but they are rated "R" this week and we're looking for a "G" or "GP" one. I know these day are hard to find. Well tomorrow I'm going on another method of losing weight its the 6 mini meals per day. I think eating 3 meals a day wasn't working so I decided to try the mini meals and see what happens. RHONDA-I like the new avatar of you,wish I was photographic like you.You looks so slim,congrats on losing inches you look great. SLOAN-Thanks ,I have too,as I have not one to take care of me,and when the body so NO!!! I have to stop if I like to or not. Our bible study is going to end next week,can't believe that 52 weeks has gone so fast. Our Pastor is going to resume it again in Jan, but now hes concentrating on a few of the books and than write Your Own Life Books. Have a great afternoon & evening see you guys tomorrow in the A.M. ontarget 09-19-2010, 05:36 PM Hubba Hubba, Rhonda!!!! You're so firm!!!!! Thank you for sharing your artwork with us. You're very talented. Maryann, let us know what ya'll go see. I was thinking of my post the other week about how I weigh less than before moving to Texas. I think I might have weighed my current weight when we moved down here, but I started gaining immediately. I am feeling really good about having lost back down and am anxious to get my weight down even lower. My gf is coming again this evening so we can train together. My eating is better today. We'll have taco soup for dinner. Life is good. Okay, where is everyone? I hope you're all out there having a great--OP!--weekend. How about some of you who are reading stopping by to say, "Hi."

A study by Brown University found that there is a growing diversity among Hispanics in the United States, marked by peculiar differences. (Shutterstock photo)
Latinos are showing a growing diversity in the U.S. marked by class and regional differences, according to a new Brown University study that underscores increasing factionalization among Hispanic groups.
Those differences are making Latinos a more difficult bloc to generalize for both politicians and marketers, researchers John Logan and Richard Turner conclude in the study "Hispanics in America: Not Only Mexicans."
"How would a political party reach out to Hispanics?" said Logan, a professor of sociology at Brown University. "How will marketers? I think there's a little bit of a fallacy here to think that Hispanics are a single group."
Among the major findings are not only the growing diversity in groups, but that Latinos in other metropolitan areas are more likely than in Southern California to live in integrated neighborhoods.
They found that to be the case nationally among U.S. Latinos who are Cuban, Central Americans and Mexican.
That is especially true, they found, in the Los Angeles area that continues to lead the country in residents of Mexican and Central American origin, although those ethnic groups have increased their numbers in other parts of the U.S.
Logan and Turner used census data to track Latino populations from 1990 to 2010, as well as what kind of residential neighborhoods in which they lived.
In 2010, they found, Los Angeles-area Hispanics of Mexican origin lived in a neighborhood that was 18 percent white, compared to a national metropolitan average of 35 percent white.
Los Angeles-area Central Americans also lived in a predominantly Latino neighborhoods with about 16 percent white residents.
According to Logan and Turner, only New York showed a similar degree of ethnic isolation among Latinos.
"It's a good thing to the extent it means that Hispanics are finding livable communities where they can forge strong networks with other people from the same background," said Logan.
"But to the extent that they are living in areas with poorer schools and less chance for jobs and mobility, it can suggest some real future problems for the region."

Natural Inflammation Remedies
Inflammations are uncomfortable and sometimes very painful. Natural inflammation remedies are effective and relieve you of the symptoms that cause discomfort. Inflammation occurs when the body is healing itself and hence is a natural reaction of body to injury and infection. The affected tissues swell up and become red in color. The area is sensitive to touch and is painful.
Some of the natural inflammation remedies include:
Consume raw fruits and vegetables. -
Drink fresh juices and herbal teas. -
Eat plenty of food rich in flavanoids like spinach, strawberries, blueberries etc. -
Increase intake of raw onions. Onions contain quercetin which is can cure inflammation symptoms. -
Eat half a papaya everyday to reduce the inflammation. Papaya contains papain, an enzyme that can reduce swelling and pain of inflammation. -
Another similar natural remedy for inflammation is consuming fresh pineapple. Pineapple contains bromelain which reduces inflammation symptoms. -
Rich sources of essential fatty acids such as salmon, sardines, mackerel are good for inflammation. The polysaturated fatty acids contain anti-inflammatory properties that relieve pain caused by swelling. -
Aloe Vera, alfalfa, turmeric, bilberry are herbs that are effective natural remedies for inflammation symptoms. -
Evening primrose oil is rich in gamma-linolenic acid which contains anti-inflammatory properties. -
Ginger is a herb which is the best natural remedy for inflammation. It is packed with many compounds that prevent swelling.
Natural remedies for inflammation do not have any side effects. They work in different ways to bring down the swelling and reduce pain. Do consult your physician if inflammation persists does not reduce within a week.

In a statement Monday, Passalacqua said Bishop Walsh was eligible to participate in the Adult Diversion Services program because he admitted wrongdoing and has no prior record, reported The Associated Press.
Investigators reported in August that they had enough evidence to pursue a case against the bishop for failing to immediately report abuse by Fr. Xavier Ochoa.
The 68-year-old priest worked at St. Francis Solano Church in Sonoma before admitting misconduct in an April 28th meeting with the bishop and two other church officials. However, the bishop delayed reporting the abuse for three days, giving Ochoa ample time to flee to Mexico before authorities could arrest him, deputies said.
Ochoa is wanted on 10 felony counts and one misdemeanor count of child sex abuse, involving three boys.
State law requires clergymen to immediately report any suspicions of child sex abuse and to follow up by fax or e-mail within 36 hours. A violation has a potential penalty of six months in jail and a $1,000 fine.
Bishop Walsh has publicly apologized for failing to report the alleged misconduct immediately.

Internet security: Behind BlackBerry ban, rising concerns over smartphones
(Read article summary)Internet security for the BlackBerry and other smartphones worry Saudi Arabia and the UAE, who want to monitor transmissions. But Internet security is increasingly demanded by users.
Kamran Jebreili/AP/File
The spat between BlackBerry and Middle East governments is part of a growing debate over Internet security in a mobile age.
The smartphones and other portable devices that allow people to send emails, transfer bank funds, and hold remote meetings can also be used by dissidents and terrorists to challenge governments. So the more that commercial wireless systems try to protect data from prying eyes, the more authoritarian and even democratic regimes worry about plots.
The BlackBerry is of particular concern to some governments because it encrypts wireless data and uses a closed network to route it unlike other smartphones that use various e-mail services and whose data often travel openly via the Internet. The security is so good that the US government reportedly allows military and law enforcement employees to send confidential messages via BlackBerry.
But that level of security worries Saudi Arabia, which says it will ban a key portion of BlackBerry's service Friday, and the UAE, which says it will halt BlackBerry data services, such as e-mail, texting, and Internet browsing, unless the company allows it to monitor its data transmissions. BlackBerry is made by the Canadian firm Research in Motion (RIM).

Blog of Thrones: Death Comes for Everyone and Everything
Blog of Thrones By Neil Miller on March 26, 2013 | Comments (6)301 days. Not that anyone's counting, but that is how long it will have been when "Valar Dohaeris," the first episode of Game of Thrones' highly anticipated third season debuts. That's how long we've had to wait since season two took its final bow. Not that anyone's counting. For my own part, the opportunity to bring back the Blog of Thrones is a great one. Truly one of the most enjoyable parts of my job, blogging through the kingdom of Westeros offers my usually tame sensibilities to explode into the realm of fantasy. Long have I not been one for big fantasy adventures (sorry, Lord of the Rings and Star Wars), there's something about George R.R. Martin's creation that has captured my spirited attention. So here we are, almost a year removed from where we left off. It's time to take a look back, talk season two (spoilers aplenty, so be sure you're caught up) and a look forward to what we might expect from season three (no book spoilers, just wild hints and accusations). Come along as we continue our journey toward taking the Iron Throne for ourselves.
Blog of Thrones: 'Valar Morghulis' Isn't the End of Things, It's Merely the Beginning
Blog of Thrones By Neil Miller on June 5, 2012 | Comments (16)As HBO's "Previously on Game of Thrones" reel runs to its completion and the theme rises, it's hard not to be wistful upon the closing of the second season of this cult hit of a show. For those of you who've been following along as I blog my way through season two, you'll surely find a bit of sadness in this being the last entry into the Blog of Thrones series for the year. And even though it's coming a few days later than usual, there's still plenty to talk about. So don't be too sad when it's all said and done. Besides, this has been so much fun to write that I wouldn't be surprised (if I were you) to see Blog of Thrones pop up periodically in between seasons two and three. With reflections on season two, thoughts on season three, thoughts on my readings of the books, thoughts on casting, thoughts on life in Westeros, and many other thoughts brewing around this fine series of stories, there may just be enough to keep Blog of Thrones going on a monthly basis in between now and early 2013, when the show will return for an undoubtedly epic third season. But for now, lets talk about "Valar Morghulis." As always, Blog of Thrones is written from the perspective of a relative novice to George R.R. Martin's books. It focuses solely on Game of Thrones the show and assumes that you've seen everything up to the latest episode. If you travel down this Kingsroad […]

I love these two roses, and grow multiple specimens of each. However, neither of them really acts like a climber for me. My tallest Stormy Weather is maybe 5 ft; the others are shorter. Basically, these two really seem to be shrubs, not climbers, at least in my zone 6 garden. Does anybody else successfully grow them as climbers? And if so, can you shed any light on the behavior of mine? Maybe its climate? Thanks in advance, any thoughts most appreciated! |

How long have you had your Stormy Weather? Mine is 3 years old and is finally reblooming and throwing canes longer than 44" I saw some really nice looking ones on a pillared wall and hope mine start taking off like that next season |

My oldest Stormy weather is, I think, 2 years old. I guess maybe I just have to wait longer; but then again, I gather you are in CA, so quite a different climate. About how tall were the pillared ones you saw? Mine rebloom quite well, they are just short. As for Night Owl, I have had my oldest for, I think, 4 years, and it is short; maybe 3 ft tall. |
Try giving them 2 cups of alfalfa pellets from the feed store. When I do this most roses will throw much bigger canes within 3-4 weeks. The canes will also mature to a much thicker size allowing me to prune them to a longer length. It's possible that winter die back for you might be less severe with bigger canes. Just a guess. |
- Posted by Kippy-the-Hippy 10 Sunset 24 (My Page) on Mon, Aug 18, 14 at 10:04
Mine seems to hate the heat and I think that is what slowed it down so much |
Thanks for starting this thread, Frances. I want to get both of these roses this fall,but knowing about habit is always essential,and this is info that's hard to find. I hope some others who grow these roses will weigh in... |

Manpower U.S. Announces New Multi-Channel Delivery Model To Anticipate Client Needs
MILWAUKEE, May 23, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Manpower, the global leader in contingent and permanent recruitment workforce solutions, today announces it is differentiating and evolving its model to deliver faster, higher quality matches to employers and job seekers. The unique, market-based model blends Manpower's industry-leading U.S. branch network with leading technology to address the rigorous requirements of clients.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120607/AQ20399LOGO-b)
"Manpower pioneered the staffing industry, and today we are transforming the industry with a model underscored by speed, customization, quality and a high-touch experience," said Jorge Perez, senior vice president, Manpower, North America. "In a world of certain uncertainty, work models are changing for our clients and job seekers, and Manpower has the capability and vision to tailor solutions to their needs."
Market volatility is creating many challenges for employers including compressed cycles and margins, continual cost and pricing pressure, and increased competition. These pressures have impacted workforce models too. In anticipation of the shifting business environment, Manpower's service delivery approach evolved, and today marks the formal launch of the next chapter in Manpower's 65-year history. With the new multi-channel model, Manpower is introducing a market-based structure where a blended team of local branches, in-market client engagement teams and virtual recruiting and service delivery teams work in lockstep to create a robust service network. Whereas industry competitors moved out of markets in recent years, Manpower is committed to the communities where it does business and is elevating its service level. "Manpower's history of innovation began in the branch network, and it remains the heart of the innovative spirit of our company," said Perez. "Our local expertise and understanding of each market in combination with an expert client engagement team and an enhanced virtual network will benefit clients and job seekers with fast, high-quality employment matches."Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

The bench-style seating at Yeowoosai—which translates to "Let's talk about love at this place"—encourages bar-goers to snuggle up to share drinks and plates of Korean fare calibrated to feed two to four people. Since 1996, owner Stella has crafted each batch of the yellow sauce that accompanies the house favorite, popcorn chicken, from a recipe she keeps under lock and key. Other popular dishes include classic galbi (marinated beef ribs) and bibimbap (mixed rice and vegetables). Guests can sip one of eight hand-crafted original cocktails and after 10 p.m. K-pop videos pump from eight flat-screen televisions, lending the red room an upbeat air.
At Solga Restaurant, guests finish barbecuing their short ribs, pork belly, and brisket in tableside charcoal pots, as chronicled in a feature by the Chicago Reader. But chefs do their fair share, too. They sear Atlantic king salmon and octopus atop the kitchen's grills and they heap steamed white rice into warm stoneware bowls before topping it with vegetables and dollops of red-chili paste. For noodle dishes, the chefs stir handmade wheat flour noodles into steaming or refreshingly cool broths.
Mio Bento's storefront windows stretch from floor to ceiling, treating passersby to an unobstructed view of the Japanese restaurant's casual yet elegant dining room. Lights affixed to a lofted ceiling shine on scarlet walls and plated arrangements of seaweed-wrapped sushi and creamy wasabi. As eyes take in the refined surroundings, chopsticks spar for fried shrimp tempura, udon noodles, and specialty sushi hand rolled by chefs. Green tea and vanilla ice cream stand out on the dessert menu, which also features traditional Japanese mochi and ocean-fresh swedish fish.
A soft glow emanates from the tables of Woo Chon Restaurant, but it's not of the romantic variety. Instead, it comes from tabletop grills, which diners pile with fresh meats and vegetables to concoct galbi's Korean-style pork ribs or bulgogi's thin slices of marinated beef. Hot stone bowls cradle orders of seafood bibimbop, joining shrimp, scallops, and shellfish over a bed of sizzling rice, and hot pots hold orders of octopus or beef intestines in a spicy broth.
Located beneath the CTA blue line's Western stop, Belly Shack sends mouthwatering scents drifting toward passengers as they exit the train. Inside, celebrated chef Bill Kim and his wife, Yvonne Cadiz Kim, curate a menu that marries the flavors of their Puerto Rican and South Korean heritages. Patrons can taste the fusion in dishes such as the Boricua sandwich with marinated beef, chicken, or tofu, brown rice, and hoisin barbecue sauce on crisp plantains, or a belly dog smothered in kimchi salsa, egg noodles, and pickled green papaya. But the marriage of unconventional ingredients isn't limited to just the sandwiches. Creamy soft serve comes in flavors including huckleberry lime and bacon chocolate chip. A communal table, BYO policy, and décor inspired by street art make the restaurant a convenient spot for casual group dining and post-meal games of stickball.
In a diner that Metromix calls "comfy with lots of artistic touches," Chef David Choi serves up his signature blend of Korean-vegan fusion. Starting from the philosophy of food's power to heal, the chef scours local farmers markets to cobble together his Zagat-rated vegan dishes. The menu ranges from the Maha Pyogo's mushroom melange of shitake, oyster, and button varieties draped over rice and yellow curry, to the Dr. K's Cure All Noodle Soup--a spicy broth flush with seaweed, tofu, and a choice of wheat or rice noodles. Adding a dulcet coda to the savory entrees, the cafe presses fresh, house-made juices full of sweet potato, kiwi, and cucumber, cooks up sweet red bean cakes, and freezes vegan ice cream.

Hi all! I am really worried. I have some beautiful white peonies that have been in the same bed for 20+ years. I know this isn't the optimal time to transplant, but last week I was forced to move them or lose them because we are building a new garage. They were already about 4-5" tall. This week the temperatures have been in the 30's dropping down to 0 at night. They are looking a little droopy and wilted. Any advice as to whether they will spring back?? Anything I could do for them? The low temps will continue until next week Thanks. |
Follow-Up Postings:
If they were well planted when moved they will be fine. Always some root feeders are lost when transplanting, but the energy stored in the roots will give the plant time to grow new feeders. Foliage in the meantime can be expected to wilt and you may lose this years bloom but not the plant. Al |

Who gets a certain thrill when a hawk swoops down and 'pounces' on a mourning dove or some other critter in my yard? It's not so much a thrill of "Yay! Dead dove!" but more like, "Cool, another link in the food chain represented in my tiny little yard." |
Follow-Up Postings:
I get that same thrill as long as it's not one of my cats that the hawk's eyeing! I got really excited the day I saw a hawk fly across the road right in front of my car with a squirming squirell hanging from it's talons. |
- Posted by sultry_jasmine_night Florida z9 (My Page) on Sun, Aug 25, 13 at 17:33
I do love to see hawks and eagles in the trees and flying around. I don't like them to try and get our chickens and baby chicks when they are out free ranging. Used to have a problem with that. We have since let a couple of big fat turkey hens out to run around with the chickens and it works as a good hawk and eagle deterrent. Been working for about a year now. |
I routinely drive Alligator Alley, which of course cuts through the Everglades, and love to watch for wildlife, including the hawks perched on trees or light poles just waiting to swoop. |

A good compost pile is like a chum line fishing. The compost has lots of attraction. The cardinals like the worms. And one day a giant hawk swooped in and had a cardinal lunch. A great exhibition. Low quality picture. It was max zoom. |

We have a good number of hawks and ospreys. Watching those fish eagles fly away with a big ol' bass is quite a thrill. Finding fish heads, bones, tails and fins underneath their favorite pine tree in my back yard is not such a thrill. My hawks are apparently scared of the squirrels. The only thing I see them catch are snakes and lizards. |

Photos: Dammion Heard's family suspects foul play in wrestler's apparent suicide
Dammion Heard, twenty, was a championship wrestler from Texas who continued to take part in the sport as a student at Western State Colorado University in Gunnison. But on March 30, he apparently committed suicide by hanging.Big photos, videos below.
The key word in the previous sentence is "apparently." Heard's parents are certain Dammion didn't take his own life, and they've created a website offering a reward for more information about his death, which has made news in Colorado and beyond.
The Denver Post is only the latest major news organization to examine the circumstances of Dammion's death. Earlier this month, for instance, the story was featured on Good Morning America; we've got that video below.This photo and the one above are featured on Dammion Heard's Facebook page.
Dammion's body was found hanging from a tree near U.S. Highway 50 outside Gunnison, and an autopsy found he'd died of strangulation. Moreover, authorities put out a press release stating that while the investigation into the death was ongoing, no other suspects were being pursued.
However, Dammion's father Gary, who lives in Texas, holds fast to the belief that Dammion wasn't suicidal -- a contention he supports with assorted anecdotes
Gary tells the Post that Dammion had chatted with him about a hike planned for the next day, as well as his ongoing rehabilitation of an injured knee; he was a scholarship wrestler at Western State. He'd also talked with a friend about sharing an off-campus apartment the next semester.
But that was before he attended a party during which he's said to have gotten into "several altercations" spurred by his belief that others at the gathering had badly mistreated a young woman he knew.
Was foul play involved? A website created by the Heard family makes that argument.
Text on the site's home page states:A banner from the website created by Dammion Heard's family.
Dammion's family is offering a $25,600 reward for information that leads to an arrest and conviction of the person or persons responsible for the murder of Dammion Heard.For more information, click here.
Continue for a "wrestling bio" of Dammion Heard from the family's website, followed by multiple videos.

So, I recently ripped out my lawn and replaced it with mostly native stuff. However, during the craziness of all this, I lost track of which plants are which in some cases.
All of the plants come from three sources (I'm in Capitol Hill in Seattle FYI): the fall northwest native plant sale (some of which are from seed), a private nursery in Renton that I happened upon, and from the Northfork river area of Northbend (I go out there to get free berry plants, ferns, bleeding heart, etc.). Please let me know if you know what any of this is for sure: FYI, I can't embed the images, as flikr won't allow it and they're way too high rez to do so anyhow #1 - I *think* this is a sumac, though the leaves are different from anything I can find on google, and it's not like the leaves of a longhorn sumac:
#2 - I sure thought this was thimbleberry when I dug it up, but I'm not 100% sure:
#3 - Unknown flower I grew from seed. I have a ton of these, but the sticker got ruined in the rain over winter. Got the seeds from the NWNPS:
#4 - Not a clue. I think I got this in northbend? Fireweed maybe? Who knows!
#5 - No clue what this is. The lower most plant in the image (above is (I think) clustered bellflower and false lily of the valley). But the bottom plant was a hitchiker... I hope that's not poison oak:
#6 - This came with the house. Some kind of oak?
#7 - Came with the house... not a clue:
#8 - Came with the house... some kind of rose, just not sure what kind:
#9 - Woodland or coastal strawberry? I have both from the NWNPS, but can't tell them apart. I have about 5 of each plant. Only one is pictured here. It has sent out about 10 feet of runners in the last 2 weeks!
I'm thinking of ripping out 6, 7, and 8, as I only kept them while re-landscaping because I felt bad for them. They're likely all non-native. Thank you for any help you can provide!!! |

#3 looks like Lupine #7 looks like Forsythia |
- Posted by mooserider none (My Page) on Sun, Jun 10, 12 at 22:18
Thanks so much wynswrld98! I hope that is lupine, as it's pretty and I do remember that name from the seeds I bought. The other one, forsythia... I looked that up and I really don't think that's it. I would remember those vivid yellow flowers. Or it might be that I don't ever remember that plant bloombing at all. Maybe it hasn't had the chance to (it's very shaded where it's at) Thanks again! Going to check more on that lupine and see if I can find any young examples to compare it to. |
- Posted by larry_gene USDA8b-OregonPDX (My Page) on Mon, Jun 11, 12 at 0:15
#2 looks like thimbleberry--the clincher is large white flowers. Your plant looks like it has bloom buds. All guides say leaves are maple-like. I prefer grape-like. #4 looks fireweed-y. |
#6 looks like a vine maple? Maybe? I have one about the same size at home and will look closer at it. |
- Posted by wynswrld98 z7 WA (My Page) on Mon, Jun 11, 12 at 17:26
Yeah Forsythia would rarely bloom in the shade, they want full sun, but the plant sure looks like a Forsythia to me. If you have the space somewhere in full sun I'd recommend moving it there, they're beautiful flowering in early spring before hardly anything else is even thinking about flowering (except perhaps daffodils). |
After looking at my vine maple at home, I no longer think #4 is one. I don't think it's an oak either. |
- Posted by plantknitter 8 (My Page) on Tue, Jun 12, 12 at 17:34
You may know better once you see some flowers, but here are a few guesses. 1. tiger eye sumac 2. thimbleberry 4 could be an Erigeron 5. could be water leaf--Hydrophyllum tenuipes? 6 Viburnum trilobum? 7. get a clear in focus picture of the stem to verify Forsythia 9. not likely coastal--would have shiny evergreen leaves |
1 not native 2 some other kind of rubus, not thimbleberry 3 lupine 4 pearly everlasting 5 waterleaf 6 looks like a nonnative viburnum like snowball bush maybe, you'll need flowers. 7 forsythia 8 nonnative rose, you'll need flowers. 9 woodland strawberry, not coastal. BTW you do know that it is illegal to dig up plants from public lands. You need the property owner's permission to dig up plants from private lands. |
- Posted by mooserider Seattle (My Page) on Wed, Jun 13, 12 at 1:35
Just wow, you guys are amazing! I just ran through most of the images you guys sent. Pretty much spot on! I'll follow up once I have more chance to research and such... but for now, THANK YOU! <3 |
- Posted by plantknitter 8 (My Page) on Wed, Jun 13, 12 at 2:18
for# 2 try Ribes bracteosum--the leaves will be fairly shiny and with a hand lens you'll see orange glands on the underside, crushed leaves have a medicinal scent. I don't see white tomentose underside of the leaves in your pic of #4....are they? |
- Posted by mooserider none (My Page) on Wed, Jun 13, 12 at 11:59
reg_pnw7, I didn't notice your comment last night. Yes, I do know it's illegal w/o permission. It's also technically illegal even on public land (like national forests). And I could understand that if everyone was out digging up the forests. But how many people do you know that drive 50 miles to dig up 5 or 6 plants, and with the intent of propagating more native species in Seattle, where the area was raped of its forests to begin with. I don't personally have any issue with what I'm doing, and I wish more people would do the same, rather than have nothing but grass for a yard. If I thought I would be hurting anything, I could knock on almost anyone's door in Northbend and I'm sure they would have little issue with me taking a few salmonberry plants. But I appreciate the warning, and I do know it's illegal. I'm curious why you said #2 isn't thimbleberry. I thought it was originally, but I started getting doubts when I saw the reddish tint around the edges of the leaves... any idea what it might be, if not thimbleberry? |
- Posted by plantknitter 8 (My Page) on Wed, Jun 13, 12 at 13:05
(RE:... any idea what it might be, if not thimbleberry?) Was not my post there on how to check if it is Ribes bracteosum? Judy |
- Posted by mooserider none (My Page) on Wed, Jun 13, 12 at 13:58
Indeed it was! Didn't see it until after I posted. That does look a lot like it... a type of currant. Supposedly native to coastal northwest america. 'Stink currant'. Very cool, thanks Judy! I'll be able to look more closely after work today, but I bet you're right! |
harvesting plants without a permit is wrong, i would put it up there with speeding. if you want to go legit, its all of fiddy cents a plant: http://www.fs.fed.us/r6/oka/passes/misc-products.shtml |
Mooserider, I understand your reasonings and don't disagree completely. But, I work in ecological restoration. I am the one out there in these damaged abused public lands trying to restore them. The last thing we need (after ATVs and bulldozers and all that) is someone coming out and digging up plants that they think won't matter to anyone. You have no idea what research or restoration efforts might be going on and how your actions might be affecting that. You're removing food and shelter and erosion control and genetic diversity when you dig up plants to take home, even when they're not part of a restoration effort. Other critters are using those plants for something. Just because Seattle's been stripped, doesn't justify stripping other places to re-landscape Seattle. I've seen people pick flowers from rare plants. I've seen people cut trails (with a chainsaw!) through vegetative cover monitoring research plots. I see people let kids and dogs trample and dig and chase wildlife in reserves and parks. I've seen where our plants have been pulled up and removed after a big planting effort. People think, 'oh no one will care', but I care. And what about the animals and other plants that live there? they care too. The native plant nurseries propagate native plants by cuttings and divisions and seed and such, they don't go out and dig stuff up except for salvage efforts where land is going to be bulldozed for development. It's part of the code of conduct for ethical native plant propagation. The permit system for public lands was installed because too many people were digging up too much stuff. Rhodies and subalpine firs in particular were being stripped from the forests for landscaping Seattle gardens. |
Subalpine firs and subalpine hemlocks taken from the national forests are sold as 'Rustics'. They can be legally obtained by permit. Some do and some don't. I'm all for the permit process, and heavy fines for those caught digging without a permit for the reasons stated above by reg pnw. Then we have people gathering foliage and cones for the florist industry..... with or without a permit. I've seen people taking out whole pickup loads of rocks without a permit. "What's the harm?", they say. "What if everybody did it?," I say. Mike |
#7 looks more like Kerria japonica to me |
- Posted by wynswrld98 z7 WA (My Page) on Thu, Aug 30, 12 at 18:33
I'd bet $$ that #7 is a forsythia... |
wynswrld98: On comparing with my own specimens, I concur, it looks like forsythia. Forsythia leaves are toothed along the upper 2/3s of the margin, and simple on the lower 1/3. If I cross my eyes when I look at leaves in the photo, that's what they look like. Kerria leaves are doubly serrate along the entire leaf margin. Plus, kerria stems are green. Looks like I owe you $$. |
