Froggiegirl621 | Thursday, October 30, 2003 - 01:58 pm     Twinks, I'll take your advice and do nothing, lol! With me being in PA, we share similar type of winter weather, so I know you won't steer me wrong! They have a pretty significant amount of mulch around their bases, hopefully that will suffice. So I shouldn't clip them at all??? Someone told me I needed to cut them back. Good luck to your rose bushes too, Spy! Hopefully ours make it through the winter and we see lots and lots of beautiful roses come spring! |
Spygirl | Thursday, October 30, 2003 - 08:34 pm     So, I don't even need to trim back the limbs or whatever? There are some that are very long! |
Weinermr | Thursday, October 30, 2003 - 08:55 pm     Spy and Froggie, Twinkie is right. Mulch them real well, and let them go dormant for the winter. Leave them just as they are. After winter, and the ground is no longer frozen, that's when you will do your pruning for the coming spring and summer growing season. I love roses, and would even volunteer to come teach you how to prune them. |
Twinkie | Friday, October 31, 2003 - 12:40 am     Weinermr is right. Prune them in the spring. I'm not sure if I can explain this right but....prune a branch just above the topmost 5 leaf cluster. Or if the branch is way too tall and you want the plant shorter go down to about the height you want it and cut just above a 5 leaf cluster. |
Froggiegirl621 | Friday, October 31, 2003 - 05:51 am     Thanks so much for all the info. Twinkie and Weinermr. I feel much better now! I was afraid I was going to kill them if I didn't get some tips on caring for them soon. Also, I think I'll be asking for a book on roses for Christmas! And come spring I may I just take Weinermr up on his offer for lessons in pruning. Gosh! These roses take alot of work!!! |
Whoami | Saturday, November 01, 2003 - 11:24 pm     Please don't laugh at me. I've had a Super Glue incident! I very nearly glued my fingers together. But, with persistant pressure, and running under warm water, my fingers are now all independant of each other again. Now, how do I get this layer of dried Super Glue off the pad of my thumb? I tried water, but it didn't really work. I'm such an idiot!  |
Theowl | Saturday, November 01, 2003 - 11:35 pm     hehe oops, sorry!! Who, did you try nail polish remover? It's never happened to me (hehe) but it seems like that would work. hehe, sorry Good luck!!  |
Whoami | Saturday, November 01, 2003 - 11:53 pm     You remind me of my aunt, who saw an old college ID of mine, with my hair fro'ed out and so big it left the frame of the picture. She was in tears from laughing so hard, catching her breath just long enough to apologize for laughing, before bursting out into another fit of laughter. Its been so long since I painted my nails, that even if a bottle of nail polish remover still remained in the furthest corner of my medicine cabinet, it would have long since evaporated. Don't know if its worth going out and buying a bottle of the stuff for a one-time use. I may just have to wait until this layer of skin wears off.  |
Zachsmom | Sunday, November 02, 2003 - 12:01 am     Removal of superglue from skin Maybe soak your hands in warm sudsy water while gently picking if off? |
Theowl | Sunday, November 02, 2003 - 12:06 am     Who, there is this stuff called Goo Gone that works on EVERYTHING!! I bought some a while ago, and just looked on the label and it gets glue off of stuff. It's great for getting price stickers off of stuff and alot of other things. It really comes in handy in case of mistakes (hehe) so it would be worth it to buy that. I'd suggest it to everyone. It's great stuff!! (hehe)

Whoami | Sunday, November 02, 2003 - 12:30 am     Thanks Owl and Zmom! I've been able to pick quite a bit off of it while watching tv just now. I'm now off to do the dishes, so maybe that sudsy water will help too! Stop laughing!  |
Twinkie | Sunday, November 02, 2003 - 04:36 am     I agree with Ms. Owl. Goo Gone is great stuff! We use it on lots of thing! |
Ddr1135 | Sunday, November 02, 2003 - 06:19 am     Who, don't feel bad, I've done the super gluing your fingertips together thing too! |
Theowl | Sunday, November 02, 2003 - 06:57 am     hehe ddr!!  |
Tabbyking | Sunday, November 02, 2003 - 01:46 pm     who can answer this: (i don't know the answer...) 'who was the first person to eat an egg?' |
Egbok | Sunday, November 02, 2003 - 01:55 pm     Tebby, after Lance's post in the picture thread, you ask a question like this?..LOL!! But back to your question, sorry...I don't have an answer. |
Whoami | Sunday, November 02, 2003 - 02:04 pm     Super glue all gone! It pretty much wore off with picking/washing. I've used that Goo Gone before too. Great stuff. I should go get me a bottle of it. Tabby, "Who can answer this." No, I can't. And, I'm sure I wasn't the first to eat an egg either!  |
Weinermr | Sunday, November 02, 2003 - 02:40 pm     Q. Who was the first person to eat an egg? A. Sheldon Yokeman, 4037 B.C. That's one of the writings that's scrambled on the Rosetta Stone. Really. Look it up. |
Kady | Sunday, November 02, 2003 - 02:44 pm     I used to play with this thing when I was little. It was made of plastic and hooked around your ankle and had long plastic tubing with what looked like a big lemon. You twirled it around with one leg and jumped with the other. I would like to buy one but don't know what they are called. Anybody??? |
Halfunit | Sunday, November 02, 2003 - 02:52 pm     Kady - Lemon Twist,
 |
Tabbyking | Sunday, November 02, 2003 - 02:55 pm     weiner, are you sure it wasn't "shell off yokeman"? lol |
Kady | Sunday, November 02, 2003 - 03:02 pm     Thanks Half...thats it!! Now where can I buy one? I looked in Wal-mart and Toys r'Us and had no luck. |
Tabbyking | Sunday, November 02, 2003 - 03:04 pm     when those jumping toys came out in california, they were called a 'Jingle Jump'. it must have been about 1966, because i was in the 6th grade and i remember a girl getting one and 'Jingle jumping' all the way across the golden gate bridge. ours didn't have a lemon, it had a little ball. i think the ball had bells or something in it to make the 'jingling' noise. i should get one now for exercise! found it: 3) JINGLE JUMP: a small tetherball attached to the ankle that is spun an jumped over (much like FOOTSIE), but it has jingle bells in the ankle attachment (3/25/65) |
Weinermr | Sunday, November 02, 2003 - 03:09 pm     Kady, There are two for sale on eBay. Lemon Twist 1 Lemon Twist 2 |
Hippyt | Sunday, November 02, 2003 - 03:10 pm     I had one of those until a kid broke it recently. Almost killed myself trying to do it! LOL |
