I'm curious...why didn't you try a BLUE dropshadow? :P If you're creating movies using Windows Movie Maker, I might be able to help you troubleshoot the quicktime issue. Not sure, but it's worth a try. YAY on the sewing machine. I need to spend a whole week at your place so we can do some creating (and organizing). That would be so much fun!! Enjoy your time away from the computer. I have the name of a great - inexpensive - massage therapist if you're interested. Love the ivy! Consider getting one of those watering cans with the long thin spout (technical terms, you know) instead of taking it down every time to water it. ...just a thought. xoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8658575.post-19166515602451763112004-12-04T15:41:00.000-08:002004-12-04T15:41:00.000-08:00Love the icon :)My indoors plants always suffer bu...Love the icon :)<br>My indoors plants always suffer but I do really good outdoors plants. lol not sure why!<br><br>Gretchen<br>http://livinginsavannah.blogspot.com/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8658575.post-49169542710614468932004-12-04T15:46:00.000-08:002004-12-04T15:46:00.000-08:00I have a green thumb too- except for african viole...I have a green thumb too- except for african violets.

Thanks for the whoosh of comments!<br><br>With your Ivy. From the photos I think maybe watering. Hanging plants lose moisture fast. You might need to immerse whole pot to ensure that it gets enough water. The soil needs to be moist. Might try some type of nutrient, but the pot looks small and too much would burn up the plant.<br><br>Try a fern as they get bushy and hang well and do alright indoors.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8658575.post-64530511243506024602004-12-05T00:36:00.000-08:002004-12-05T00:36:00.000-08:00As per your back pain maybe you should try a heati...As per your back pain maybe you should try a heating pad. My lower back acts screwy every now and then but I find that laying on a flat fllor with a heating pad usually works. <br><br>For your brown thumb, try the Selaginella Lepidophylla aka the Resurrection plant. If it dries up you just immerse it in water and it turns backs into a lush green fern overnight. <br><br>If you like the plants you have, they make self waterers. You fill it up a certain amount and it detects when to release water into the soil. <br><br>Email me if you need links!<br><br>Kris.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8658575.post-83903776703865952792004-12-05T08:00:00.000-08:002004-12-05T08:00:00.000-08:00Baaad Robbie.
