I just can't believe the temps you've been having - FL I heard this a.m. on the news that people in FL spray water on the trees, etc... when the weather turns this cold. "They" say, it actually keeps the plants/trees warm when the frost hits. I almost believe this - if we don't have a good snow cover, some plants etc.. will die
"Icing" of trees is something the professional citrus farmers have done.
Unless it is done under controlled conditions it can kill the plants
I have, when we have had a heavy frost , gone out and "washed" the frost off before it was able to do any damage.
We do get a few amateurs that ice their plants but this is usually because they forget to turn off their irrigation systems
woo hoo it has warmed up to a "toasty" 33, W/C is up to 26 !!!!
I was loving the heated seats in the car this morning !!!
What are some things that happened in 2009 that you would like to see changed in 2010?
This may sound weird, but I really want to make an effort to try and do something nice for myself every once in awhile this year.
On the flip side, what are some things that happened in 2009 that you would like to see continue in 2010?
I wold love to see the continued success for our fundraisers, hopefully we can raise even more money to make a difference in even more kids lives
Bonus Question:
Refresh us... what was your 2010 New Year's Resolution?
ummmm
When will you start working toward your 2010 New Year’s Resolution? Or have you already?
Other than getting into the new work out room at least a hour a day I have to think on this
Extra Credit Question:
Do you use an Apple Computer or a computer with Microsoft Windows?
The new computer I got for Christmas has the window 7 thingy
Just for Fun:
Have you ever been to Alaska before?
Oh Yes !!! Went on a cruise 2 years ago for my 50th birthday and our 4th anniversary
If yes, how did you like it?
Loved it !! How could we not of had a terrific time hanging out with Rance & Sweden. As a matter of fact we had more fun with them the day& a half we hung out than on the cruise.
“Because I’m Suncoast Guy” Question:
Last Tuesday in my “Did you know…?” thread, we found out that 52% of Americans drink coffee.
Do you drink coffee?
No if it only tasted as good as it smells
Fruitcake Toss Day? To whom does one toss the thing?
What a hoot! Some pretty decent things to commemorate on a January the third.
Now, where to begin?
Most certainly, I drink coffee. Black with one sweetener. Two cups in the morning, and then generally none throughout the rest of the day, unless it's decaf. Occasionally, I'll do an iced coffee drink -- the ones made like icees, and usually a mocha. Loved 'em until I learned how many calories can be in one. Sheesh, just have a big bowl of ice cream while you're at it.
How many of you got to drink coffee as a kid? and when did you cross the line, and could have the stuff regularly? Marked you as an 'adult,' and I'll bet you didn't even realize it.
My Grandmother made us a cup of hot milk and sugar, with just enough coffee in it to flavor and color it. Made us feel oh-so-special and grown-up. I guess I started drinking it regularly by the end of HS, or the advent of college. Even then, it had to have cream and sugar in it.
2009 behind me, and looking into 2010: Boy, I'd like to think the recession is fast coming-to-an-end, but I don't see the signs yet. This is far worse than any recession I've been through before, and while I can't 'compare,' I have a new appreciation for my predecessors' tales of the Depression, and some of their little quirks as a result. Things in Grandmother's fridge had to literally r-o-t before it was thrown out, and Granddaddy kept every pair of shoes he ever owned.
I'd really like to see us start driving more gas-economizing vehicles. We didn't learn much from the early 1970s, did we? (Well, some. My sister thinks she HAS to drive a Chevy Suburban. NOT.)
New Year's Resolutions? Honestly, I just quit making them a number of years back. What's the point? Some things get better; others get worse, and darned if my intentions aren't always good. I just decided to quit beating myself up over a resolution, and that seems to be the best one I've ever made, and been able to keep.
Occasionally, still want to throw the silly thing across a room. I am SO 'puter challenged! Spent the better part of a whole day trying to log-on, only to have my neighbor show me some little button on the side of the laptop that had been switched 'off?' Now how was I supposed to know that? and WHO did it? I've yet to figure-out what somebody did to my sound.
Alaska is on my like-to-see-before-I-go list. Is that what a 'bucket list' is? Cute movie, if you didn't see it, featuring Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman. I'd also like to cruise the Greek Isles, see the big game in Kenya, and go to India.
OK. Hopefully, I got them all covered. I'm so OCD sometimes until I feel like I have to answer every question, including Parts A, B, C and D.
Good morning Suncoast.....thanks for doing the QOTD!
Today’s Questions:
What are some things that happened in 2009 that you would like to see changed in 2010?
Most of the worst things that happened to members of my family have already been changed. LOL.... So I got nothin'!
On the flip side, what are some things that happened in 2009 that you would like to see continue in 2010? I'd like to see the problems that resolved themselves in 2009, continue to be nonexistant in 2010. Could that be more vague? LOL
Bonus Question:

“Because I’m Suncoast Guy” Question: Last Tuesday in my “Did you know…?” thread, we found out that 52% of Americans drink coffee.
Do you drink coffee? Oh yeah, I am a big time coffee drinker. It's the FIRST thing I do in the morning.....start that pot of Folgers!
If yes, is it Regular, Decaf, or other? Definitely Regular...I wouldn't bother with decaf....and I CAN tell the difference in taste! LOL

You mean the adults didn't tell you it would stunt your growth!? LOL Mine did...and it also showed me that my parents A)DIDN'T know what they were talking about or B) were liars. LOL I was nearly 5'9" tall by the 8th grade!! ...the tallest kid in my jr. high...being female just made it harder to deal with. LOL Clearly, I would have had to drink a lot more coffee!?
