How long will it take us to get to 10,000 posts?

[Long Lashes]

November already? and we still need 36 posts to achieve our new goal.

We need to get our skates on...

 

[Long Lashes]

I hope you all had a safe and Happy Halloween!!

Oh thank you @DallasFanForever I did did you enjoy it or do anything special?

We didn't have the same opportunity to go anywhere or do anything this year so we stayed in and watched a couple of horror films/movies which were so dreadful that we finished up laughing

How are you? have you started Christmas shopping yet? I am an early shopper and am already half way there.

 

[DallasFanForever]

I just stayed home. Only saw one trick or treater all night. Sad but what can you do? Different world now. I’m doing good Long Lashes. How are you? And no I haven’t started Christmas shopping yet. Haven’t done a thing

 

[Michelle Stevens]

Hello @DallasFanForever. I see you have a flag of Puerto Rico in your profile. Are you from Puerto Rico?

 

[DallasFanForever]

No, I gotta figure out how to change that. I’m from the U.S. LOL!!!

 

[Long Lashes]

I’m doing good Long Lashes. How are you?

Glad to hear you're well in these worrying times. I'm good too thanks for asking.

No, I gotta figure out how to change that. I’m from the U.S. LOL!!!

If you contact Ome or Jason I'm sure they would be more than happy to help you out. We cant have you going around with the wrong flag


EDIT - I just noticed that Mel has kindly replied to you in the CAN I CHANGE MY USERNAME thread in the HELP AND FEEDBACK forum. If you get stuck just ask again, someone will always help you on here

 

[Michelle Stevens]

Thank you and yes, I'm aiming for the ... dark and moody ... look. Plus its handy to have the red umbrella during these wet days.

Does that red umbrella double as a weapon when you are the Enforcer?

Woah!

not so hasty my friend.

You need to reconsider, sleep on it and then perhaps you might find that you would like to try the mousey brown look. It would suit you, I promise it would

I've been known all my life for my golden locks, why change now? My golden locks go so well with my golden hottness crown.

Oh my goodness, are you checking out ebay too :laughing:

On second thoughts, that might be a good place for me to look for Orkies new friend.

I had noticed this Orchid being sold as a rescue for several weeks. While all other were sold this poor thing was never chosen or bid upon. One Sunday evening I offered $8 to the owner and they excepted and sent her to me, plus the shipping cost.

Here she is from Tippy's Ebay posting.

You may be able to see her burnt leaf tips from sunburn. I'll post photos of how she arrived soon. I never had an Orchid sent to me so I was curious.

Well if you enjoy it then why not. Plus you will have your new plant stand to keep them all organised soon.

That plant stand is my next objective with this hobby.

Welcome to Tippy and I do like that name Thank goodness she survived the journey to your home. Where does the name Tippecanoe come from, if you don't mind me asking?

Indeed Tippy did. I was so concerned and watch the tracking very closely. Poor little thing was all alone in that box on the roads in the dark. I did photograph her as I found her package, naked too.

Since she was from Indiana I wanted to give her a name unique to the state. Nothing Hoosier would fit. I know some of American history and there was 19th century battle near a town called Tippecanoe. The "Tip" part of the name made me think of her burnt leaf tips .... I know I'm silly but it strangely fits.

Ooo how exciting to know its worked! I bet you are chuffed.

Chuffed indeed. The bottle leaves are falling off but they are changing daily. It's fun to watch. I'll hopefully share a few photos of this change.

Very wet and very muddy thank you for asking. I checked on them today (in between the rain showers) and their pots are filthy! they need rinsing down and I also need to dead-head some of the blooms. I hope to do all this tomorrow, if it doesn't rain.

Wow, all that rain. Mud is no fun. At least your plants are not thirsty. No sunburnt Orchid in the Land of Long Lashes.

She had better not spill any beans :mo: I had her sign a confidentiality agreement before I brought her home

OMG! Poor Orkie as to stay silent with your secrets.

I think we are all learning all the time and please don't blame yourself for Gem, you gave her a loving home and gave her a real chance. As for the two who are critical, maybe they're attention seeking? we all know how divaish Orchids can be

Indeed, they seem to like the attention. To lose three plants, one Orchid and two Hydrangeas still hangs over me.

A happy anniversary for tomorrow and the day after

Today is the one year anniversary of my purchase of my first Orchid, Snowy. I bought Pinkie- Violet the following day to give Snowy a friend. Snowy is lazy Orchid as she has not grown at all over the past year. No roots or leaves. She just maintains her condition. After losing Gem and the mishaps of PV and Lumina I'm glad Snowy is maintaining.

Oh no, I cant have My TT Shirtless Firefighters being scared of me :eck:

Thank you for letting me know, I will go immediately to spend some top quality time with them, just to reassure them of course

If you say so.

We will have less of that sort of talk Michelle Stevens

The TT Shirtless Firefighters may be intimidated by Dark Lashes but Michelle is not. Maybe I should rethink this if you have a fraction of the Enforcer's strength and rage.

Although, I do agree that you are hot, just not half as hot as me

Pfft!

 

[DallasFanForever]

Thank you @Long Lashes for the help with my flag situation LOL!! Turns out I can’t change it cause I’m in south Florida and for some reason the satellite thinks I’m in Puerto Rico. So as you can see I went from having the wrong flag to now being someone with no country at all

Eagle Chat​

Not much news from the Ealge cams. Someone did stop at the Hanover nest on Wednesday.

November already? and we still need 36 posts to achieve our new goal.

We need to get our skates on...

We have to keep moving. :bump:

 

[Long Lashes]

Does that red umbrella double as a weapon when you are the Enforcer?

Lol! yes it does, well spotted!

I've been known all my life for my golden locks, why change now? My golden locks go so well with my golden hottness crown.

Ooo but, but, a change is due then you could create a whole new image and ditch the blonde locks.

By the way that crown is mine, all mine! :danc:

I had noticed this Orchid being sold as a rescue for several weeks. While all other were sold this poor thing was never chosen or bid upon. One Sunday evening I offered $8 to the owner and they excepted and sent her to me, plus the shipping cost.

The poor Orchid with nil bids and all on the internet for the world to see, poor thing.

Here she is from Tippy's Ebay posting.

You may be able to see her burnt leaf tips from sunburn. I'll post photos of how she arrived soon. I never had an Orchid sent to me so I was curious.

Yes, I can see her sunburn, but apart from that she looks very healthy and what a lucky plant she is that you happened to see her thanks for showing me this Michelle. Was she very dry when she arrived at yours?

Poor little thing was all alone in that box on the roads in the dark. I did photograph her as I found her package, naked too.

That journey must've been quite an ordeal for her, but she's home now and will never have to go through that again.

Since she was from Indiana I wanted to give her a name unique to the state. Nothing Hoosier would fit. I know some of American history and there was 19th century battle near a town called Tippecanoe. The "Tip" part of the name made me think of her burnt leaf tips .... I know I'm silly but it strangely fits.

Ooo this is all fascinating to me, its not silly at all, I've never heard of Tippecanoe, I am always learning TT thanks for taking the time to explain.

Chuffed indeed. The bottle leaves are falling off but they are changing daily. It's fun to watch. I'll hopefully share a few photos of this change.

You're doing so well getting them through this new stage, I'm glad its working due to all your hard work

Wow, all that rain. Mud is no fun. At least your plants are not thirsty.

We have had just had two whole dry days!:hats: so I've been able to catch up in the garden and sweep up all those leaves and today I planted the last of the spring bulbs, fingers crossed they come up in blooms next year. Oh and four slugs made an appearance :scream:

OMG! Poor Orkie as to stay silent with your secrets.

Indeed she does

To lose three plants, one Orchid and two Hydrangeas still hangs over me.

Hopefully you will eventually move on from this as you tend your new plants. Plus those plants which sadly didn't make it, taught both you and me so much als:

Today is the one year anniversary of my purchase of my first Orchid, Snowy. I bought Pinkie- Violet the following day to give Snowy a friend. Snowy is lazy Orchid as she has not grown at all over the past year. No roots or leaves. She just maintains her condition. After losing Gem and the mishaps of PV and Lumina I'm glad Snowy is maintaining.

Maybe you should re-name Snowy and call her Slowy instead? at least she is happy plodding along at her own pace and she might just surprise you one of these days.

The TT Shirtless Firefighters may be intimidated by Dark Lashes but Michelle is not.

You're a fearless soul Michelle Stevens! and a good friend to the Enforcer, I hope she realises this.

Maybe I should rethink this if you have a fraction of the Enforcer's strength and rage.

No, I'm quite a coward myself and nothing like the Enforcer.


Are we now on page 3,473? I think we are .


Just another 27 posts needed to reach 3,500! :j1:

Its always good to see Liberty... or is it Freedom? If only Liberty would ware some lipstick then we would know

Oh no, that's a shame, sorry I wasn't much help.

If you wanted you could always display your flag in your avatar? or maybe on your banner?... just a suggestion and at least we can already see you're from Bethpage, NY as you already have that under your avatar.

I've also noticed that you're TOP POSTER OF THE MONTH :bravo1:

Do you have a favourite thread yet DFF?

 

[DallasFanForever]

No, no, there’s nothing to be sorry about. You tried to help LL and that’s good enough! I appreciate it nonetheless. Not sure if I really have a favorite thread yet. I like to browse the entire forum and comment on what interests me. And I enjoy talking to all the nice people I’ve encountered so far, people like urself. Honestly, everyone on here seems super nice!!

 

[Long Lashes]

Glad to hear that we have plenty on here which you find interesting.

I sometimes wonder what I'm doing here because ( don't tell anyone ) ..... I've not watched much Dallas, Dynasty etc

I enjoy talking to all the nice people I’ve encountered so far, people like urself. Honestly, everyone on here seems super nice!!

and this is why I keep coming back too plus I enjoy the MUSIC FORUM, and THE GAMES FORUM along with a few other forums.

 

[Long Lashes]

Whatever everyone's been doing today

such as this ...

or this ...

I hope it was a good Sunday for you all​

 

[DallasFanForever]

My Sunday has pretty much been spent indoors cause were in the middle of a tropical storm!! Luckily it hasn’t been as bad as they predicted though. Just a ton of rain. And LL ur secret is safe with me as far as how much Dallas or Dynasty you’ve watched LOL!! No one will know

 

[Michelle Stevens]

Ooo but, but, a change is due then you could create a whole new image and ditch the blonde locks.

By the way that crown is mine, all mine! :danc:

Nonsense 'Lashes. That golden crown belongs on my golden locks. That is why the creators of the crown made it gold, to match my locks.

I have no plans to ditch my locks dear friend. :mo:

The poor Orchid with nil bids and all on the internet for the world to see, poor thing.

And no won ever bid on her. Poor baby but now she is in my window getting morning sun in safety.

Yes, I can see her sunburn, but apart from that she looks very healthy and what a lucky plant she is that you happened to see her thanks for showing me this Michelle. Was she very dry when she arrived at yours?

She was a little dry but it only took about three days from the time I won the bid to the day I received her. Here is a photo of when she arrived and I pulled her free from her travel box.

Spoiler

She as naked and wrapped in a fuzzy material like something one would pack in a pillow. She as also covers with newspaper adverts.

That journey must've been quite an ordeal for her, but she's home now and will never have to go through that again.

Indeed, I potted her that very night in Gem's old pot. I have no idea what colour her blooms are but it looks as if she may have a spike forming at her base. If she is happy she will continue the growth.

Ooo this is all fascinating to me, its not silly at all, I've never heard of Tippecanoe, I am always learning TT thanks for taking the time to explain.

It has something to do with our shortest reigning President, William Henry Harrison who was a general in that battle. Odd how I remember that and connect that to this little plant.

You're doing so well getting them through this new stage, I'm glad its working due to all your hard work

So far so good with the Poinsettias. More leaves are changing and I plan to share an image or two soon.

We have had just had two whole dry days!:hats: so I've been able to catch up in the garden and sweep up all those leaves and today I planted the last of the spring bulbs, fingers crossed they come up in blooms next year. Oh and four slugs made an appearance :scream:

What bulbs did you plant for Spring? I do enjoy Spring flowers after a long winter. You have curious and hungry slugs.

Indeed she does

Is Orkie still blooming?

Hopefully you will eventually move on from this as you tend your new plants. Plus those plants which sadly didn't make it, taught both you and me so much als:

Indeed, wise words.

Maybe you should re-name Snowy and call her Slowy instead? at least she is happy plodding along at her own pace and she might just surprise you one of these days.

LOL! :floor: She is Slowy but alive. I am eager for the day she surprises me with a growth of some kind.

You're a fearless soul Michelle Stevens! and a good friend to the Enforcer, I hope she realises this.

I hope so too. I need to buy her something for Christmas. Maybe boots, gloves?

No, I'm quite a coward myself and nothing like the Enforcer.

So you are lucky in a way you now have that Enforcer side. What an odd but useful gift of those pesky aliens.

Even Michelle is somewhat jealous of your Enforcer powers.

Are we now on page 3,473? I think we are .

3780 now, nineteen to go. :bump:

I hope everyone had a nice weekend. ​

Thank you DFF I knew I could trust you!

 

[Long Lashes]

Nonsense 'Lashes. That golden crown belongs on my golden locks. That is why the creators of the crown made it gold, to match my locks.

That sounds like a poem. Are you writing fantasy poetry now N2H?

have no plans to ditch my locks dear friend.

If you say so we shall see about that ..Lol!

And no won ever bid on her.

Oh the humiliation she went through. A bit like being the last kid picked for the netball team

Poor baby but now she is in my window getting morning sun in safety.

She is home now

Here is a photo of when she arrived and I pulled her free from her travel box.

Spoiler

She as naked and wrapped in a fuzzy material like something one would pack in a pillow. She as also covers with newspaper adverts.

Oh this is interesting to see thanks Michelle.

Yes, she was packed very carefully by the look of her and I didn't realise that she wasn't even in a temporary plastic pot. She almost looks alien-like when she is presented this way .... no offence to you Tippy I'm sure you look fab now.

I have no idea what colour her blooms are but it looks as if she may have a spike forming at her base. If she is happy she will continue the growth.

I think not knowing what colour her blooms will be makes her even more interesting . May I have a wild guess and say ... purple

It has something to do with our shortest reigning President, William Henry Harrison who was a general in that battle. Odd how I remember that and connect that to this little plant.

If that's where's your mind took you to find her name, then so be it!

So far so good with the Poinsettias. More leaves are changing and I plan to share an image or two soon.

I'm so pleased this is happening for you and look forward to seeing :hats:

What bulbs did you plant for Spring? I do enjoy Spring flowers after a long winter.

I agree, they are a welcome sight after the winter.

I've planted some more snow-drops because I think I might've mistakenly and clumsily dug some up when I was weeding a few months ago

I also planted Crocus and some which look like baby daffodils called Narcissi. If they bloom I will take some photos for you.

Is Orkie still blooming?

Ooo there's no stopping her at the moment she seems to have loads of energy.

I need to buy her something for Christmas. Maybe boots, gloves?

Just make sure they're made from an expandable material , we wouldn't want the Enforcer bursting out of her present I don't think she will return your kindness though, she doesn't do present giving. I might though

So you are lucky in a way you now have that Enforcer side. What an odd but useful gift of those pesky aliens.

Even Michelle is somewhat jealous of your Enforcer powers.

Being the Enforcer is both a gift and a cross to bare, the responsibility is enormous!
