I’m learning a LOT about flowers, as I try to choose some flowers I like for the wedding. I think we’re going with silk, so I’ve been hanging around silk floral websites looking for odd things like “parrot tulips”.

Flowers
I remember when I thought 81F was hot.
Welcome to Nebraska, land of the 110F heat factor, after adjusting the actual temperature, due to humidity, to describe the temperature it “feels like”.
Since we have air conditioning here, wearing glasses in high humidity heat can be interesting. Due to the extreme temperature difference between inside and out, glasses need a few moments to become [...]
The massacre under the nest
Her: “Did you see the dead birds?”
Me: “What?”
Her: “Look over there”

“Love waits for one thing… the right moment”
For a man who listens to everything with a loving heart
iamnotaddictedtoambien.com
So, I have finally come close to running out of Ambien, after a year of taking it almost nightly. For a light sleeper, it’s heaven to go to bed within 20 minutes of taking a pill and waking up 7 hours later. It’s good sleep. Why can’t I do this sleep thing naturally?
I have [...]
