Hi All,
Going in for a c-section in under 2 weeks and finalising my shopping. With my last baby I made it through breastfeeding with a combination of b/feeding singlet tops and cardigans and so on to keep me warm.
This time around there don't see to be ANY decent BF singlets anywhere!!
Mothercare - had them last pregnancy, can't find them this time around
Target - too short in the body
Bonds - haven't previously tried them, but look short in the body and also have 'cups' rather than a shelf bra and I have a BIG chest, so these are often uncomfortable
I checked out Ripe Maternity and they do have some that look good but they are upwards of $50 ... is seems expensive ... do I just need to bite the bullet?

It's not somewhere I usually shop but I found some awesome ones in Kmart. I'm big up top and they don't have cups. Super comfy and cheap. I think the brand was Bub2B or something?

When feeding my babies I went from a C cup to an F and struggled to find breastfeeding clothes that allowed me to wear a supportive bra and keep my muffin tops covered.
After spending an obscene amount on various tops I eventually took matters into my own hands!
The result was a BF Undershirt that I wore under my regular T-shirts.
You will need:
a sewing machine or over locker
a plain cotton singlet top (mine were from Big W - less than $10 each)
Put on the singlet and mark a line horizontally across the singlet under your bust (approx in line with the elastic on your bra)
After taking off the singlet, use the scissors to cut straight down from the widest points of the neckline and then along the line you marked earlier. (You should end up with a deep U in the front of the singlet - a really low neck line!)
Then using your sewing machine zigzag or over lock the cut edge.
To use: wear your regular nursing bra, then the singlet and a T-shirt over the top - at feed times just lift your t-shirt hem, drop the bra cup - your back and tummy stay covered and your t-shirt covers the top of the breast...
Happy Feeding!

I'm not big breasted but I second the singlets from kmart. They also have comfy sleep bras.

That's what I was thinking of doing! Glad to hear it works ok. I started looking online for BFing tops as I had some when feeding DS2 and they were really handy but I couldn't see any decent ones - and the one's I could find were pretty expensive. I think I'll make a few BF undershirts like you described and only spend the $s if I want a "good" top or dress.

I got mine from target, they are really comfy, they don't seem too short in the body to me.
Posted 23 April 2012 - 04:26 PM
I'm a DD and bought the ones from Best and Less. They're not great quality, but cheap (I think they were $15 each) and could get long and short length. I went up to a 14 to accommodate my breastfeeding chestage.
And yes, the Bonds ones with the sewn cups were uncomfortable.

I havnt BF so kick me out if I'm wrong, but I think bonds have come out with a singlet that doesnt have proper cups??

I used Loveable ones form DJ's, around $30 each or $60 for a 2 pack.
I really liked them. Myer might have them as well. In the bra section, not the maternity section!
Posted 23 April 2012 - 04:43 PM
I bought shoestring strap singlets with the adjustable straps (adjustable like a bra strap), made the straps the longest they could be, and that way I could pull them down below my breast to feed. Or, when I couldn't find them, I just bought shoestring strap singlets in a size or two too big so that I could pull them down. Cheap and easy.
It's awful having to pull up your top to breastfeed in the cold! Good luck finding a solution that suits!
ETA: As an E-cup, I found any singlets with the "shelf bra" type thing quite uncomfortable, as the shelf just didn't have enough room for my breasts and either rode up or was way too low. Regular singlets suited me better.

regular singlets for me too.
Mine were from Best & Less, after extensive searching.
I did lash out and buy a few garments from Ripe to supplement my Target/B&L wardrobe, and was very dissapointed to find they pilled really quickly. At $70+ a t-shirt, I expect them to do a bit better than that.
Yeah, they did pill in the spots I was carrying the baby, but it was a breastfeeding top, so chances are you ARE going to have a kid or two rubbing up against you, nah?
Posted 23 April 2012 - 05:01 PM
I find Pumpkin Patch b/f tops really comfy and you can often buy them on sale or for much cheaper on gumtree/ebay. They are more t-shirt tops (with sleeves) than singlets but really good.
Posted 23 April 2012 - 05:22 PM
I couldn't fit my boobs into most maternity singlets. I bought singlets in a range of colours from kookai. They are stretchy enough to just slip down when you go to feed, and as they aren't maternity, you can still wear them later. I wore a bra underneath. A cheaper option might be supre, target or similar. I liked the kookai ones best, as they are really stretchy, and don't go out of shape (they are lycra), plus you can get them with wider bands to hide your bra strap.
This pregnancy, I bought a few from kookai, and some from metalicus. The Metalicus ones were about $50, but they often have really good sales, so you might find them cheaper on their website. They are also extra long, so great for covering a loose post baby tummy.

I've been using the 'Glamourmom' singlet tops that a friend lent me. They have a shelf bra, and are quite long. Here's the website:
Glamour Mum I bought some more recently as I've been wearing out my friend's ones (as I wear them all the time, I have a few in different colours), and found that this is a US site, so the shipping was on the expensive side.
I found that it was cheaper to buy them locally, and bought some from this website:
Nursing Angel
Looks like they are on special at the moment, and there's a few other different types/brands as well.

The national marriage age is increasing, but not for this group of people
Getty Images
After Kathryn Linton graduated from Virginia Tech, she was sure of two things: she wanted to pursue the social work career she'd worked hard to be qualified for, and she wanted to marry her boyfriend of six years.
"We couldn't really imagine going on with the next phase of our life and the other person not being there," Linton said, explaining why she and her boyfriend got married at what is now considered young — 22 years old.
Linton is part of a small group of millennial women who are distinctly religious and choosing to get married in their early 20s. According to "Knot Yet: The Benefits and Costs of Delayed Marriage in America," a report released by the National Marriage Project, only 33 percent of 25-year-old women are or have been married. The average marriage age is 29 for men and 27 for women, which is the oldest average ever in the United States.
"Career people have put off marriage for the simple reason that they're very career focused. And they're career-focused not because they're selfish careerists but because the economy demands a certain amount of attention," said Kay S. Hymowitz, a Manhattan Institute senior fellow and a main contributor to the "Knot Yet" report.
Despite research showing economic and social advantages of waiting to get married, women like Linton, a nondenominational Christian, say they are choosing to get married young because they see no advantage in waiting when they have a stable relationship with a person they love as they begin making their way in the world.
"Trevor and I had been dating for two years, and I just didn't feel like I'd ever find someone else I could be as close with," said Brandy Roberts, a millennial who got married at age 19. "He's my best friend, and it didn't look like that would change any time soon."
Advantages of waiting
The change in marriage age and the decrease in marriage rates reflect a shift in American culture. According to a report by Pew Research Center, millennials "are relatively unattached to organized politics and religion, linked by social media, burdened by debt, distrustful of people, in no rush to marry."
The result is a generation of women focused more on individual goals than on marriage. In fact, according to the "Knot Yet" study, the number of millennial women with children is greater than the number of millennial women who are married, meaning that marriage is less of a priority than having a child, at least for lower-income women.
"It used to be that if you wanted to have a reliable sex life, you had to be married. That's not true anymore. It used to be that if you wanted to live with a woman or a man, you had to be married. It used to be that if you wanted to have a child, you had to be married. That's not true anymore," she explained.
But the data also show that those who put off marriage consider the institution important.
The National Marriage Project also found that "about 80 percent of young-adult men and women continued to rate marriage as an 'important' part of their life plans; almost half of them described it as 'very important.'" Thirty percent of 25-year-old single women want to be married.
"The vast majority of people when you ask them will say, 'yes, they want to get married some day.' They see family as something they want, a top priority," Hymowitz said.
And research shows that marriage at any age offers distinct advantages. A study from the National Institute of Health found that married couples are likely to live longer, recover from illnesses faster and have better mental health.

Miami-Orlando train executives unveil plans for massive downtown station, shops
All Aboard Florida revealed plans Wednesday for the flagship station of its proposed cross-state passenger-train service, a shimmering, four-block-long labyrinth of shops, restaurant, offices and, oh yes, tracks, perched on a floating platform in downtown Miami.
The 50-foot-tall platform is part of an 11.2-acre development that stretches from just east of Government Center to the Overtown Metrorail stop. It's topped by three towers varying in height from 15 to 28 stories, and flanked by an 80-story skyscraper.
All Aboard Florida executives and city officials believe the station complex, about 3 million square feet, will spur commercial development for miles in all directions as well as become an iconic city landmark like the San Francisco Bay Bridge, the Brooklyn Bridge or New York's Grand Central Station.
"Think of Grand Central Station," said architect Roger Duffy, whose New York company Skidmore, Owings & Merrill designed the station. "It's an important anchor for the center of the city, and it spurred development of downtown Manhattan. Miami has sort of lacked that."
Local officials offered glowing praise, especially since the privately financed station won't cost them a dime. "If we were to replicate this in the public sector," Miami-Dade County Mayor Carlos Gimenez said, "it would cost us billions of dollars."
Miami Mayor Tomás Regalado predicted the station would turn downtown from an after-dark ghost town into a throbbing urban center. "In 2016, you will see thousands and thousands of people, late, in downtown Miami," he promised.
All Aboard Florida officials said they would break ground on their planned express line — which will make stops only in Miami, Fort Lauderdale, West Palm Beach and Orlando — in the next couple of months. The project still has to clear some regulatory and permitting hurdles.
Aside from building new stations in the South Florida cities, the company will also need to work on the 235 miles of track along the route. Although All Aboard Florida is using existing rails that already carry freight for its parent firm Florida East Coast Industries, parts of the route will have to be upgraded.
"We're leveraging infrastructure that's been in place over a century," said Florida East Coast Industries CEO Vincent Signorello, noting that the backbone of the route is the original railroad built in the early 20th century by Henry Flagler to transport tourists from the upper U.S. East Coast to his South Florida hotels.
Traveling at speeds of up to 125 mph, the train — if everything goes as planned — will cut almost an hour off the automobile travel time from Miami to West Palm Beach, and two hours off the time from Miami to Orlando.
Diagrams and sketches of the station were revealed at a press conference staged in a parking lot across from Government Center, one of several to be cannibalized for the site of the new structure.
About 1,000 feet along and 200 feet wide, the platform will top a concourse that holds two floors of stores and restaurants. City streets — the structure runs between Northwest Third and Eighth streets — will continue in service beneath it.
The station is designed to provide a seamless connection between All Aboard Florida trains and Metrorail, Metromover and Metrobus service, as well as offering creature comforts and jangling cash registers to passengers.
It's "a layer of hospitality that has to be wrapped around that infrastructure," Signorello said. "While you want to get from point A to point B, you also want to be taken care of every step of that way."
The plans were the first tangible evidence, at least to the public, of a project that was announced two years ago.
"Over the past two years, I can't count the number of times people have asked me, 'So when are you going to show us what it looks like?' " said Michael Reininger, All Aboard Florida's chief development officer.
Added Signorello: "All too often, projects start with a picture, then go backwards to figure out how it works. . . . We did the opposite."

I absolutely LOVED this book. The writing was fantastic and I couldn't put the book down. Actually, I think it might be time to reread this one.
Been a while since I read this... There was a lot I liked about this book - it is clever, mostly interesting, and intelligent. So intelligent, in fact, that I didn't really feel smart enough to read it. While I liked it, it wasn't my brand of catnip, but for those who like this type of book, it's well worth your time.
I have had this book for years - bought it due to a strong recommendation. Finally had a chance to read it and have to say I really didn't feel it. It was OK. Good writing, loved the descriptions of place, but the story overall bored me. Didn't ever really come to care about Dracula, guess that is one reason why I wasn't a fan of the Twilight series!
Just read this book again after a couple of years and still loved it. One of my favorites!
this is one of the best fiction books i read in a long time. It is very well written, and it is suspenseful. the book is long and dense, but you will enjoy every word.
Vlad Lit: don't flirt with it, just sink your teeth right in
When, after many other allusions to historians and historicism, Kostova introduced a character whose last name is Hristova, I was tempted to run out to a pharmacy for some antihristomine.
What's unfortunate about this overload is that the book -- which seems to want to do for historians what ''Possession'' did for literary scholars -- is otherwise the kind of wonderfully paced yarn that would make a suitable companion to a deck chair, a patch of sun and some socklessness.
In a ponderous, many-layered book that is exquisitely versed in the art of stalling, Ms. Kostova steeps her readers in Dracula lore. She visits many libraries, monasteries, relics of the Byzantine and Ottoman empires, crypts, restaurants, scholars and folk-song-singing peasants. Every now and then a mysterious pale, sinister figure will materialize, only to vanish bewilderingly. The book's characters find this a lot more baffling than readers will.
Stuffed with rich, incense-laden cultural history and travelogue, The Historian is a smart, bibliophilic mystery in the same vein (sorry) as A.S. Byatt's Possession--but without all that poetry.

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0316011770, Hardcover)If your pulse flutters at the thought of castle ruins and descents into crypts by moonlight, you will savor every creepy page of Elizabeth Kostova's long but beautifully structured thriller The Historian. The story opens in Amsterdam in 1972, when a teenage girl discovers a medieval book and a cache of yellowed letters in her diplomat father's library. The pages of the book are empty except for a woodcut of a dragon. The letters are addressed to: "My dear and unfortunate successor." When the girl confronts her father, he reluctantly confesses an unsettling story: his involvement, twenty years earlier, in a search for his graduate school mentor, who disappeared from his office only moments after confiding to Paul his certainty that Dracula--Vlad the Impaler, an inventively cruel ruler of Wallachia in the mid-15th century--was still alive. The story turns out to concern our narrator directly because Paul's collaborator in the search was a fellow student named Helen Rossi (the unacknowledged daughter of his mentor) and our narrator's long-dead mother, about whom she knows almost nothing. And then her father, leaving just a note, disappears also.
As well as numerous settings, both in and out of the East Bloc, Kostova has three basic story lines to keep straight--one from 1930, when Professor Bartolomew Rossi begins his dangerous research into Dracula, one from 1950, when Professor Rossi's student Paul takes up the scent, and the main narrative from 1972. The criss-crossing story lines mirror the political advances, retreats, triumphs, and losses that shaped Dracula's beleaguered homeland--sometimes with the Byzantines on top, sometimes the Ottomans, sometimes the rag-tag local tribes, or the Orthodox church, and sometimes a fresh conqueror like the Soviet Union.
Although the book is appropriately suspenseful and a delight to read--even the minor characters are distinctive and vividly seen--its most powerful moments are those that describe real horrors. Our narrator recalls that after reading descriptions of Vlad burning young boys or impaling "a large family," she tried to forget the words: "For all his attention to my historical education, my father had neglected to tell me this: history's terrible moments were real. I understand now, decades later, that he could never have told me. Only history itself can convince you of such a truth." The reader, although given a satisfying ending, gets a strong enough dose of European history to temper the usual comforts of the closing words. --Regina Marler

A young woman finds old papers which begin to reveal an ancient and evil plot concerning Vlad the Impaler and the legend of Dracula, which may still be continuing.

Stimulus Bill Approved
By Angela Hatton
Frankfort, KY – Kentucky lawmakers have given final approval to a plan to erase a $1 billion budget shortfall brought on by the ailing economy. Both the House and Senate approved a bill today that applies some $740 million in federal economic stimulus money to the state budget. The remainder of the shortfall will be handled largely through a 2.6 percent cut to government agencies. Governor Steve Beshear is reviewing the bill.

Proctorville Library, Proctorville, NC, March 1945. General Negative Collection, North Carolina State Archives.
Photograph was taken by Marie McRae Ecklar (deceased), former resident of Proctorville. A copy of the photo was donated to the North Carolina State Archives by Patterson Tony Graham via Toby Graham and came to the donor through Ms. EcKlar's niece, Sarah McRae Martin, also a former resident of Proctorville and currently of Troy, NC.
The library structure was originally a hot dog stand operated by Harry
Lewis's grandfather, W.R. Surles, owned the land and structure, which he provided for use as a library in the late 1930s. On account of the small size of the structure, only one person (or two if small children) could use the library at a time. Children would wait in line for their turn in the library.
According to an article in the Dec. 23, 1939, issue of The State Magazine, the citizens of Proctorville started up the library with donations from the community, initially acquiring a collection of 400 books. The author contends that "Proctorville is the smallest town in the United States which possesses a full time public librarian, which it does with the aid of the P.W.A." The P.W.A. (Public Works Administration? or possibly the author of the magazine article meant WPA?) librarian's name was Evelyn Singletary Clyburn. The P.W.A. (or possibly WPA?) ceased to provide support circa 1941, and since that time the library has been maintained and operated by volunteers from the Proctorville Book Club.
A more permanent brick structure replaced the former hot dog stand during the 1950s. This current library building is named the "W.R. Surles Memorial Library," as Surles bequeathed money to build the structure. It's open on Thursday afternoons.

Amazing old photo! Thanks for sharing.
Wow! W.R. Surles was my ggg-grandfather! How awesome to finally "see" a picture of this historic building I've heard so much about these past years. Can't wait to take my own pictures!

Does anyone know the physical address of the library?

Roundup and planting
Hi all, my sister and I have a question on planting in a new bed. She is preparing a new bed for planting, and sprayed roundup to kill the grass in the area on Sunday, with a few spot treatments on Tuesday. How soon is it safe for her to plant in the area, and does she need to remove the dead grass? They have had several inches of rain since she treated.
From what I read here previously, i believe she should be able to plant this weekend, and does not need to remove the grass, but please verify so we are sure! I did my new bed last fall so did not have these concerns.
BTW - she is planting the hostas that I ordered her for Xmas, and she is quickly becoming a hosta-holic!! Thanks!
Last year due to many things my Hosta beds got very weedy towards the end of the year , so when the Hostas went dorment in the autumn the whole beds got sprayed with Round Up, this year they are all back with no sign of damage,The Exact time of spraying was during the Christmas holidays
Not to start anything, (or change the topic) but I've seen some report that Round-up killed their earthworms and that the amphibians
are impacted by the use of it!
Never have used it myself--though I'd love to, but I worry about such things.
Anyone here have such an experience?
hey_j, Using any chemical pesticide has the potential to kill. If used properly, RU should not get into the soil. It's supposed to be lightly sprayed on the leaves. If the bed was drenched, it would kill everything in it. I use chemicals as little as possible.
You could have covered the grass with thick layers of newspaper or cardboard and killed the grass also, hate it when someone tells me what I "could" have done.
I spray roundup around hosta all the time avoiding directly spraying on the hosta, I say only avoid directly, have never had a problem.
Email me privately, I would like for you to try a method of planting for the sake of science, a little field work!
well ... you have to remove a circle of dead grass to properly plant the hosta ... i usually .. in digging twice as deep as i need ... just throw the sod in the bottom .. and plant above it ...
i have millions of worms... as many as sand will support.. which isnt many compared to good soil ...
and i spray my hosta beds 4 to 6 times per year ... with cheaper credit.. generic roundup ....
boy heyj .. nothing like spreading unsubstantiated third hand enviro-warrier hearsay ...
i heard we are all going to die ... go figure ...
cover it all with 3 to 5 inches of mulch.. and watch all the dead stuff turn to fluff in a year ... and the hosta grow like weeds ...
good luck.. and thx for converting/enabling a new addict ...
Well, ken--I did say I had seen some report/ings (better word) and I asked for folks' input as to your own experiences.
Is that a problem? :o)
I also said---I'd like to use it myself----but I do like to make sure that what I'm doing will not harm my garden
in ways I might not realize--immediately! :o/
Hey--I don't have all the answers--yet! But I do have plenty of questions! ;o) How did you learn, what you know
without investigating and asking questions!
Don't tell me you believe all the reports put out by the chemical companies saying 'all's fine with the world' in
using so many such products--poison, is
(surprise) poison and I just trust folks who have used the products and can validate they have seen
no damage--first---that's why I come here---for your vast knowledge, via your experiences, vs. the hype of those
who push their own wares!
For instance---some of us gals have thyroid conditions that cause us to have to supplement the hormone--wonderful that we have them---RIGHT?
Well, guess what---time has proven that if we take the hormone, the little tiny Thyroid gland, says "hey--I don't have to work so hard,
now--I think I'll just 'shut-down'! So--what does that mean--we now are forced to forever take the dog-gone pills, (ever increasing the dosage)
that exacerbates our original problem and now our 'symptoms' increase as a rebound effect--OR risk having a heart attack by not taking the hormone!
I took those meds with full confidence in the industry (unfortunately) AND my own physician, so, 'no' I do not always trust the information provided by
the sellers of their products!
Will you hear the truth from the makers of the hormone--no--but the women who have taken them will tell you the truth and if you are fortunate to
have a friend who is, also, a physician 'he/she' might just tell you the straight scoop--!
Call me cynical, if you like! I had to learn the 'real facts' the hard way--by being a guinea pig!!!
So---spray the Round-up carefully (apparently) and there'll be NO PROBLEMS in our gardens--and pay no attention to anyone (individuals)
who tell you otherwise--or anyone who just wants to know if the 'rumors' can be substantiated as true or not--by your own experiences!
Sorry--but I'm hot, tired and have a bad, bad cold--so I may be a bit 'testy' today! Give me a break--okay? slurp/sniff/cough---(weak smile) :o/
When you hear a bit of information contrary to common belief, consider the source. If it comes from some radical "anti modern science" group...consider that...if it comes from the manufacturer also consider that....and know something of the chemisty of the agents involved.
Hey-J...do you honestly think you would be better off if you never went on the thryoid medicine to begin with?
Round-up kills the plants where it comes in contact with the lgreen leaves. It biodegrades and becomes inert in contact with the earth very quickly.
If you don't get any on the leaves of your plants, it's safe to carefully spray or paint weeds around desirable plants.
I think you can be very very glad that there is such a thing as Thyroxin, even if you have to take it for life in ever increasing doses, and you should be glad you are not lacking in insulin, a diabetic, because you would eventually be taking insulin in ever increasing doses to stay alive.
Linda C
I'm glad you asked this question because I'm doing the same thing. I just sprayed an area against our back fence about 10' wide by 25' long (not in a straight line, but wavy -used a drop cord as an outline). Anyway, I used the Roundup yesterday. I'm going to wait a until next week to remove the sod and till it. I think I'll then add some additional top soil and peat moss to this clay soil. Then I will plant my hostas and mulch. I want this to be a perennial bed, and I want to prevent as many weeds up front as possible. This fall I plan to add to it and may try the newspaper/cardboard method. I'm anxious to get this first one started!
I apologize folks! I 'bruised' too easily and felt misunderstood as to the point of my original posting!
But--that's no excuse to spill my guts and my personal frustrations on this forum and your thread, 'dmid'!
I'd like to say, "I wasn't myself, today", but unfortunately I know too well the saying, "circumstances
do not make us what we are--they reveal what we are"! Not one of my finer moments!
I'm going out to eat some worms,now--I haven't sprayed yet!
I know--that was really lame!!
Hmmmm, so I just dig a hole and put my plants in and add mulch on top of the dead grass/weeds? I'd never thought of doing it that way. I was trying to prepare my clay soil to be more loose and easier to work in the long run. But if I can just plant and mulch, that will save me a lot of work and money.
Hey_j, you ought to know by now that ken's posts are straight-shooting, no-holds-barred! While it is always worth reading them to glean all the good information from them, you also need to read them with shields up (and a sense of humor)!
No offense, ken! I personally enjoy your posts.
whip and Indy---thank you for your kind words!
Linda--Your question did make me stop and reconsider my rant, and I've taken some time to think it through!
I am conflicted, but, I guess there really wasn't much choice! Possibly, it may just be a matter of time, once the
Thyroid starts malfunctioning, till it atrophies anyway! I don't really know if that would be the way it goes or not!
I just wish I had known the full story from the gate--I'm normally a big girl--and appreciate being fully informed
before I make a choice!
Your question was a good one and I thank you, for the *reality check*!
Linda-you've obviously dealt with some very serious 'stuff', on many fronts, in your lifetime! But, it also sounds like you've been able to overcome at least one of them,
as you've related!
Life can sure be difficult--at times, and everyone's got 'stuff' (I always say) and if you get the opportunity to know anyone well enough--you find out you're not alone
in the struggles of this life! As you no doubt already know, some things can be overcome, and some, we just endure with as much grace as we are given--and
hopefully we can be an encouragement to others because of the victories and even in the enduring!
What an encouragement you must be, to those in that struggle in their own lives, and with whom you share the good news of your own continuing good-recovery!!
I wish you continued victory in being cancer-free!!
Can some of you please explain what containers, delivery systems, funnels, measuring spoons/cups, protecting your clothes, breathing it, latex gloves, where you mix it, for Roundup and broadleaf for the lawn? For RU, how to paint with it, when to use in a wider area.
I did think of holding cardboard against my plants as an extra precaution against overspray, then tear it up and throw it away each time.
I do not want to use one of those sprayers that attaches to a garden hose, hose won't reach some places anyway. But I'm willing to buy the 20# version of a professional backback for lawn spraying. My son has a 40# one but I couldn't handle that. Now he uses something that he lays down with a spreader. He doesn't have time to do mine this year.
I'm still trying to figure out the best way to use that Bayer Advanced All in One. The directions make it sound scary, wear long pants, shoes, socks, long sleeves, latex gloves, then wash them all separately in the washer and dryer from your regular wash. And that's just for one chemical!
I use "procedure gloves" and mix the RU in a trigger type sprayer and hold it very clost to the offending weed and just "dribble" some into the center of the weed.
If I am spraying an area, I make sure it's a windless day and use the "spray"setting on the nozzle.
With the sprayer i can kill individual weeds in the grass without spraying the whole lawn with broadleaf weed killer....which is a lot more persistant in the enviornmend that Round up. Of course, any over spray resilts in a dead patch of grass.....so be very very careful.
Linda C
lindac, do you mind telling me what the brand name of your trigger sprayer is and where to get one? I hope it doesn't work off a hose. It sounds like just what I need.
Since I posted, I did some homework, carefully read the instructions on the Roundup container, and have a tentative strategy worked out in my mind.
Then I happened to talk to my son, and he might spray the broadleaf for me, won't hold my breath. I can go ahead of him and hold something to protect against overspray (or cover with plastic), and we will definitely pick a day that isn't windy. I even told the neighbors I'd carefully cover the part of the fence with heavy plastic if I did spray anything near his fence and new landscaping.
Now I'd like some kind of pants I can hose off, they say to rinse the container three times and my raincoat I can hose off. I don't want it on my clothes. But not when it's in the 90's and up!
My yard is too far gone for Roundup patch spraying except maybe in a few spots. I don't know what's happened. He used broadleaf last year, got rid of all the dandelions & other nuisances, now stuff is growing I never had a problem with before, don't even know what it is. A lot of the weeds I do know. Maybe that is one of the unintended consequences of spraying. He worked for Chemlawn in his late teens, so has the experience and knowhow.
Thanks so much for your input.
Maybe you won't see it now, I often lose track of threads I've posted to, but I'd really like to know what kind of trigger sprayer you use as you seem to know what you are doing. I'm going to have to use some Roundup in a couple of areas because things are out-of-control and have been despite my efforts to smother, hand weed, and hoe. Newspaper and mulch will help, but I'm not going to be able to smother it all with that method in areas I've planted.
Thanks, maryann, I googled some and saw that they have it that way, wish I'd bought that, but the kind you mix yourself is supposed to have a longer shelf life.
There is an array of a backpack, a pressurized tank you can carry, and a regular plastic spray bottle because I can dial a fine stream and aim better with that, start from there and then see how it goes. When I run out, I'll get what I think she was talking about, too, comes already in the right concentration w/a sprayer, much easier to grab.
The problem with the other equipment is you have to clean it out carefully after each use, and it's much more expensive.

Phoenix Suns
Suns rise in latest ESPN Future Rankings
Things are finally looking up for the Phoenix Suns.
In the midst of a big rebuilding project led by new general manager Ryan McDonough, the Suns face a tough season ahead. There's some good news, though, as ESPN Insider's Future Power Rankings has them at 27, two spots ahead of their 29th ranking in May. This marks the first time the Suns have gone up in these rankings since December 2010, having been stuck in the 29th spot the last three editions that come out twice a year.
ESPN's senior basketball analyst Chad Ford, who did the writeup, praised the job done by McDonough since he came aboard, and highlighted the Suns' draft picks in the coming years. The team was given the league's top score in the draft category as they own future first-round picks from the Indian Pacers, Minnesota Timberwolves and Los Angeles Lakers to go along with their own picks.
On the flip side, the Suns are low in the rankings mostly due to the player component, worth 50 percent of their score, as they are 29th in that category ahead of only the depleted Philadelphia 76ers. As for the other categories, the Suns ranked 25th in management, 11th in market and 18th in money.
In 2012-13, the Suns finished last in the Western Conference with a 25-57 record. The record earned them the fifth selection in the NBA Draft, which the used on Maryland center Alex Len. Expectations are roughly the same heading into the 2013 season as the team begins its first year under new coach Jeff Hornacek.

yes me too. I only use mail.
For 35mm I always go to Photo Express. http://www.photo-express.co.uk/
Really quick turn around, 2000x3000 D&scan for £4.50/film and the quality is good. Price *includes* return postage
For (a relatively new) MF shooter, for 120, I have used a few, but the place that is going to get my repeat business as best compromise on cost/quality for the time being is Spectrum
http://www.spectrumphotolabs.co.uk/content/about.htm. approx 2100x2100 develop & scan £8.60/film + £4.00 per order P&P, although I would like to find a higher resolution scan for the same cost.

Do I really have Little Lamb? (1 pic)
alisande(Zone 4b)July 25, 2010
This hydrangea, purchased as Little Lamb, got cut to the ground by a rabbit right after planting last year. It came back (and I fenced it), but didn't have a chance to bloom until now.
As I understand it, Little Lamb's individual flowers are smaller than other paniculatas, and the panicles are smaller, too, "gamboling atop the plant." Well, my Little Lamb has produced one 12" panicle, presently lying on the ground. Its flowers are every bit as large as Limelight's.
I'm guessing it's a genuine Little Lamb that put all of its initial energy into one large bloom, but will revert to more normal behavior at some point. What do you think?

The epic saga of love and war continues--the heart-stopping sequel to Paullina Simons's beloved international bestseller The Bronze Horseman.Tatiana is eighteen years old, pregnant, and widowed when she escapes war-torn Leningrad to find a new life in America. But the ghosts of her past do not rest easily. She becomes consumed by the belief that her husband, Red Army officer Alexander Belov, is still alive and needs her desperately.Meanwhile, oceans and continents away in the Soviet Union, Alexander barely escapes execution, and is forced to lead a battalion of soldiers considered expendable by the Soviet high command. Yet Alexander is determined to take his men through the ruins of Europe in one last desperate bid to escape Stalin's death machine and somehow find his way to Tatiana once again.

Review quote
`This has everything a romance glutton could wish for: a bold, talented and dashing hero, a heart-stopping love affair! It also has -- thank goodness -- a welcome sense of humor and discernable characters rather than ciphers.`--Daily Mail (London)
