The trees from Hell
Comments (27)Thank you. Unfortunately, he's not interested. I don't know what's up with this guy. He seems incredibly stubborn and just doesn't care. I saw his girlfriend one day when she was visiting. I got around to mentioning the tree and she immediately became defensive. She said - "I love that tree and it's there to stay." She's rarely ever at his place so I can't understand why she would care one way or other. I think she said it just to annoy me, which it did, lol. Anyway, you make some good points. I should have kept a journal of all the times I had to clean up after that tree and pull saplings and also the trees that were beginning to take hold - so much so that I no longer could pull them from the ground. I had to saw them off and spray the tops with a tar residue. I can't imagine what is growing around and in his property. I pray there isn't another Maple tree growing. The properties on our street are not large, so another tree with seed pods would be a nightmare. To take that tree down now would likely cost a thousand or more. I don't know for certain though but it would be expensive because the tree has grown very big. I couldn't afford to pay for it either. Last year, I raked up at least 8 or more large trash bins of leaves and pods. This coming Fall will be that much worse. It is what it is and I have to just deal with it as best I can....See MoreRed Hall Tree - real name?
Comments (5)Thank you Eric. I agree that Hall Tree's are much easier to maintain and perhaps more functional in the house than out and certainly require far less fertilization. I appreciate the information as I had asked him to spell the name of his tree to do an internet search - I will inform him that he needs to hang his jacket on his current cultivar found near the edge of his woods unless he would rather just learn the correct name of it. Don't you just love how things get mis-represented with the English language? I knew the garden-forum people were the greatest and would come up with an answer for us. And thanks for the direct link/picture....See MoreMy condo neighbors from hell - A rant
Comments (29)I started to browse through this website forum since I needed to gather data on the issue of noise on condo complexes and hear what the current and/or past tenants of condos) have to say about their actual experience when living in a condo. Although I found many comments to be appropriate and suitable for the subject matter that written/posted by Vendora, I found quite a few commenters� posts simply to be offensive and inappropriate such as the one posted by Mike_Pam, chinacat_sunflower, GammyT, and so on! Just simply look and listen carefully to their tones and motives that they have written behind their comments. So, is it really true that their intent is good, pure, and positive or rather is the opposite�meaning trying to take control and show pride of themselves or their egos to others whether they realized it or not? For example, how is it that Vendora was making a poor choice in moving into the condo complex when she obviously did not foresee nor knew in advance that there would be such horrific noise issue inside her condo unit right after she moved into her condo unit as what chinacat_sunflower clearly and inaccurately stated? How is it that Mike_Pam trying to help the nature of the issue when he obviously distorted his true intention in the forum as if he was giving the right and appropriate advice to Vendora when what he said and posted on his comment clearly is an insult and mental assault not only to Vendora, but to the nature of the subject matter and to the forum as a whole? Then, the next commenter (GammyT) after Mike_Pam posted his comment even aggravated the assault to Vendora and reminding that she ought not complain about the people above her and that is nothing she could do, etc.! As you all can see and understand, these commenters obviously get the kick out in deliberately saying untrue and destructive things to people, especially to the subjects (i.e. Vendora and other similar condo tenants) who are undergoing the torments of noise issue from neighbors�to even make the nightmares to be much worse and more intense than ever before! It is one thing to give advice�meaning the right and appropriate advice; but it is another to insult, assault, and annoy others (i.e. Vendora) simply because that commenter wants to show off his or her ego and would say and do anything to put others down and make others look bad when these showoff people are the ones who needed help and needed to take a good look at themselves and to cleanse their unhealthy self-esteem and self-image once and for all! In addition, simply because a person raised an issue on certain subject matters; it never meant that this person is asking nor looking for advice nor meant that anyone could say anything and do anything to inflict unnecessary and additional pain to this person as the way some commenters had done to Vendora! This is called maturity, human respect for your fellow human beings and for yourself! Sincerely, Newlifestar...See MoreHelp me arrange the 'front hall' area of my living room
Comments (16)Caminne, that is a BRILLIANT idea, because I definitely need as much bookcase space as I can squeeze into every room, and at the moment there are no built-ins. Now, les917 cautioned against putting something just to the left of the door as you come in (i.e. on the living-room side of the door), to avoid cramping people (or dogs) as they step around the door, which I think it good advice. But if you look at my floorplan, you can see that there's quite a bit of space between the front door and the front wall windows. Floorplan: I think it should be possible to put a bookcase so it more or less lines up with the left side of the entrance to the dining room, which is about where I'd want the living room rug to end and the entryway rug to start. (Not describing this too well, but will try to photoshop a furniture-arranging floorplan soon.) In any case, I think that would leave plenty of clearance to get around the door - more clearance than you'd have in the entry to most historic rowhouses around here, anyway. That would preclude using the big desk as a sofa-table-type room divider, but I think it would solve two serious storage problems at once. I wonder if it would even be possible to have two bookcases back to back, with one facing the living room for books and the other offering baskets for leashes and mittens and whatnot on the door side. I'm thinking maybe about 36" high - high enough to make a divider, but low enough not to block light and to make it easy to put things down on top of. Hmm.......See More- last month
