The New Hobbit Hole

[2Jedismom]

Hi OT!

[Overtaxed]

Hi all!

I've been out all day car shopping. Now I'm behind in my garden work and have weeds to whack, bugs to spray, stuff to pick. My Concords are starting to turn and some collards are up.

[Overtaxed]

Hi! A quick bite to eat and then it's out to the garden. This hobbit really needs to get to bed earlier than 1:00 am. :)

[2Jedismom]

I know! I'm suffering too. It was 12:30am when I crawled into bed. Then up at the crack of dawn to mow. But it was a nice chat...almost a session! ;-)

My Concords are starting to turn

Mmmmm...let me know when they're ripe. They're the grapes of my childhood (and perhaps my parent's wrath?). I tried to transplant a couple of vines from my wife's aunt last year (she lives in the family "home place" in Southwest Virginia) but they didn't make it. Any tips on how to get a good vine started?

Afternoon again all. I'm wasting time. I was outside working - and got some things done. Was just starting to glaze my first window when I read the instructions again and the compound I bought said "do not use to glaze windows." Makes me mad 'cause I thought I read all the labels in the store...

[Corin Stormhands]

We moved five beds, two chests of drawers, a chair, a trunk, and my eight boxes of books, plus just general stuff...

Well if someone drops a bookshelf on your toe, Hair will write you a note to get out of work...

Don't you just hate it when that happens? ;-)

[2Jedismom]

I hate it too...I hate it even more when I ask someone to help me and they give me the wrong thing. Had a girl give me a taillight for my van, and didn't tell me there might be two different types and which one did I need? I get home, unscrew my cover and the bulb won't fit. I went back, asked for my money back and went to another autoparts store!

[htur_75]

I don't blame you. I try to make sure I am covering all bases when explaining things to customers. I've had to many come in to complain, and when I explain things to them, they say "No one told me that." Then I have to do damage control and try to calm them down when they are ranting......I will be glad to be out of here!! had to share.

[2Jedismom]

Damage control is good. When I took the bulb back in a different guy helped me and said "Oh, yeah...you need the other kind of bulb. It's a buck more please." After driving 20 minutes home and then 20 minutes back, I wasn't giving him another thin dime! I asked for my check back, returned the bulb and went a couple of blocks down to another place. I was purple when I went in there and they said "Oh yeah...we're all the time getting their unhappy customers!" Then the guy sold me the bulb and then put it IN for me!

[htur_75]

That was nice of him. You can tell that he understood customer service. That's the problem with too many people.

I don't really have any tips. The vine was planted by my dad and it's not as vigorous as our scuppernongs.

Ok...Josh is up from nap...Matthew should be home from swimming any minute. I'm going to work out in the garden. See you all later tonight.

[Overtaxed]

It's raining so the weeds aren't getting whacked.

[Overtaxed]

Oooo Look! The semi-Precious is in sight!

[Overtaxed]

Are there no weekend sneaks?

[Overtaxed]
