Oh well, nobody said getting old was for wimps.

that was what my grandma said... more or less... glad they caught it in time to do some tangible changes....

Me too, Deb. I've lost so much function in my right hand already but he thinks I can get it back which is all that matters to me.

Yeah... I don't mow much do I?

No problem, 'Al'. It will soon be all covered up. The Fireweed is in seed.

And it is NOT yet in seed... it still has flowers.

on the spot

Yeah I waited for about an hour this morning. The office I went to is part of a hospital complex in Macon. It was very relaxed yet chaotic.

Hope you get good news Cap. I wish mine was better but I'll take what I can get. I was hoping it was just my Rheumatic Fever.

Impressive indeed!



Unless you have extremely porous, sandy soil, Roundup doesn't travel through soil. Roundup works by being absorbed through the leaves of the plant, so there is no point in applying it anywhere except directly on a plant. It can move in air, either because someone is spraying in windy conditions (seriously dumb move), or because it volatilizes (evaporates) in very warm conditions. As every professional knows (or learns the hard way!), if used correctly, Roundup stays where you put it, but crops have been lost and many fines levied when safe use procedures haven't been followed.



That was probably caused by the propellant, rather than the active ingredient. Some plants are very sensitive to "environmental pollutants." On something the size of a banana, it might cause localized tissue death, but it shouldn't cause the whole plant to die (good idea to wash it off; dead spots are never nice to look at, no matter how small they are).

Thanks Bunnylady. I appreciate you help. I did wash it off.
So far I dont see any damage.

Micro nice to hear they can help you.

I don't know why they did not offer me any meds I have the big O as well.

Cap good luck.
