Granny's gone and done it again

Morning all. Went shopping yesterday and treated myself to a few plants: a gayfeather, a couple succulents, and a very sad orchid. I planted the gayfeather (liatris) this morning. I think it’ll look great when it fills out.

I planted Holly Hock and Lupine in the row that separates the easement to the property in back of me and the yard. I'm hoping for a small colorful display next year back there. Gonna replant the red lilies (look like red tiger lilies) back there in another 'empty spot' come fall. I think they need more sun, because whoever planted them next to the southside of the house put them where there was just too much shade.

Great find by the way.. and with your green thumb, the orchid will be fine!
 
howdys, Slept til noon. Feeling some better.
I can weigh in a little bit about the cholesterol . I have an autopsy report from my uncle on my fathers side stated the cause of death was hardening of every single artery in his body and to inform every one of us that this IS hereditary and to take measures to try and prevent. Those measures are meds. and diet. In other words yes, you can be prone to it because of your genes but meds and diet can still help.

And if you do your research it's not the cholesterol doing the dirty work, it's caused by inflammation from wheat products.

Granny, here's me playing in Secondlife.. did manage to find a program that would allow me to do a video capture of my desktop while playing.

I started tinkering with linux back in '05, learned system administration for linux, became the adminstrator for the PCLinuxOS website for years. Ran my own websites from home. But that was all secondary to what I had previously done in the military. In '85 they came in with a Zenith 100 computer, flopped it on my desk and said "Here, figure this out" and I kept up as things changed in the PC world.. I managed the Base Mobility Program on the PC.. before that it was hand written sheets and a Univac 1050 punch card system.. Then what was called 'air gap' meaning changes were made on the PC, pushed to a floppy disk and taken to data automation. All this to make packing lists, etc for things being mobilized during a deployment. Finally got a live system where we just put the data in on the desktop and it went straight into they biggie system. Found a way around many a problems with it and figured out a way to convert all 'my' data from an old system to new one. Ended up working at 14th Air Force and doing staff assistance visits to all the units under 14th AF, helping them learn and understand the system.
So yeah, to answer your question.. I kinda know my way around. Remember I told Pro I had been building PC's since around 2000? Been in computers a long long time.
 
When Tom had his stroke drs said they could try to operate but if he made it through surgery he would most likely be a veggie or we could wait and do nothing and he would slip away in a few days OR we could try to transport him to a stroke center but he felt like Tom wouldnt survive the trip. I told the dr. Tom isnt finished yet. He still has a job to do as Robert was about 5yrs. old and would he please try. He agreed . Well, he did the surgery and came out to talk to me he said the gunk that came out was like toothpaste and led all the way to his brain. He said he didnt think he would wake up. I asked to see him and they allowed me back. They were trying to rouse him and couldnt. I said TOM,TOM, wake up ! We have to go pick Robert up from school ! And he jumped and wiggled like he was trying to get up and I turned to the nurses and said He is going to be ok.
