Rant of the Day..
 

I was watering my cumcumber patch & the D Namwah and out from the shadows comes a field mouse, an Arnold Schwarzenegger mouse.. and runs under my wood pile.. I think it moved the whole wood pile in its withdrawl..
So you know the wood pile is fixing to be a pile ash.. That sucker is eating all my baby cucumbers.. Smoked Rat anyone?.. ( the smoker is going isn't that convenient..) lol :^)

Re: Rant of the Day..
 

That no good dirty rat.

Get some shed skins from someone who keeps snakes. Some times that deteers rodents.

Re: Rant of the Day..
 

Well the new Rant is... Something ate my Plumeria Seedlings.. Boy that really chaps my 4th point of contact.. I moved the pot since the Cucumbers are out of control.. Didn't know I had to sevin dust them.. It left me one leaf on 5 stems, and that stem is half chewed thru.. Bugs best watch out I'm on the War Path.. :^)

Re: Rant of the Day..
 

This is not the first time I have bought an item from Home Depot that has been damaged or has missing parts
Items with missing parts
Charbroil gas grill
Moen Faucets
Delta faucets
Glo warm wall gas heaters.
This last episode was with a power vent gas water heater.
The heater out of the box had deep dent in it.
The kit supplied did not have vital saftey parts included, a vent adapter and blower mounting screws.
I called the Rheem hotline to report the the missing parts and the fella said "go back to the store and buy them"
Now, this is the phone number on the box that say's" Call this number first before you do anything else "......Do not return this product to the store. We will help you solve your problem


Needless to say there was a few more dents when I returned it. :ha::ha::ha:

Re: Rant of the Day..
 

I don't understand how manufacturers think they can get away with that nonsense. I purchase something from a store; it's missing parts or doesn't work. My contract is with the store not them; they are are responsible to the store for sending bad products. I have no issues taking something defective back to my contact and letting them sort it out with their supplier; I have never been refused a refund.

I over cooked my nuts.. I mean my almonds.. Lol :v)

Re: Rant of the Day..
 

My store purchases have been successful this year so far BUT for the first time Pizza Hut messed me up BAD. As always I ordered online for carryout.... After so many successful pickups I figured it was only a waste of paper to continue printing my receipts.

Upon pickup, before I paid, the cashier read my toppings and showed me my pizzas.... 1 pizza was fine and the other was ALL screwed up... The cashier explained ordering online sends the receipt/request straight to them with no third party... Said I must have made a mistake... Grrr unwilling I paid anyways and got home to realize my receipt in my email had the toppings I ordered and the store didn't.

I called them and the manager pretty much stated I'm a liar... I said I could show them my printed receipt and even forward them my email receipt. Blah blah blah they didn't care or even fix.

Papa Johns from now on... I'll miss that stuffed crust.

Re: Rant of the Day..
 

Instead I would send a complain with copies of your Email AND store receipt to the PH headquarter.....

Re: Rant of the Day..
 

I did send them an email on their website stating my situation and mentioned the evil managers name, no response yet... To be honest it probably won't be my last time ordering Pizza Hut but I'll be ready next time. It's too easy to get 2 large pizza for less than $20 online and there location is really close to my home.

Re: Rant of the Day..
 

You got to give them time to check into this and to mail you a coupon for a free pizza or two for your inconvenience. And back you are at PH..... :0517:
Good luck to you.

Turtles invaded my fishing hole.. Ended up catching 4 of them all snappers.. I guess it was a good thing I caught my fish 1st.. :v)

Re: Rant of the Day..
 

An acquaintance had asked for a banana pup. Last Tuesday I have separated it from the mother plant, washed out the roots, treated them with mycorrhizae to get the plant off to a good start and even delivered the pup to his house with the root ball wrapped in a plastic bag.
He offered to pay for it, but I declined. Walked by his house today and the pup in the bag was still leaning against his house untouched with some very sad looking leaves peeking out of the top.
The pup was at least 4' to 5' already, but now...... :mad:

Re: Rant of the Day..
 

That stinks.

I can envision a new post popping up titled /asking
A friend gave me this plant last week and the leaves are turning yellow whats wrong more K, less water, too much sun, more cowbell, please help!
I used a post hole digger to plant it.

Re: Rant of the Day..
 

I will admire plants others have but ask for none; I don't have space for them just now. IF someone insists on giving me a "little" start, I explain my circumstances--again. IF they persist (as in putting it in the back of the truck), I do my best to take care of it and usually succeed. I guess I think of plants like children; they didn't ask to be here and don't deserve to be neglected or mistreated.

Re: Rant of the Day..
 

I wished that he would be at least already at this point, so the plant would have a slim chance to survive. But no, the root ball is still in the plastic bag.
I have not forced the plant on him. He asked for it and I even asked him if it was a good time to bring it over.
If I get a plant as a gift, I take extra good care of it, show updates to the giving person in photos or give back in fruits/veggies.
Oh well...

Re: Rant of the Day..
 

Where should I start... Well 1st my computer took a dump on me, which sucked but it fixed itself.. 2nd cut a monster VC pup and broke it off, but I have 2 really nice one's potted up.. The rest is all good I promise.. DF has 23 blooms between the 2 I got from Flaflowerfluzie, 5 more on the American Beauty.. Found 7 hands on the Raja Puri while eating some fresh pindo fruit.. :v)

Re: Rant of the Day..
 

Well, I took a day off work because I'm sick. I got a text from my boss.

It seems that I groomed a dog a MONTH ago and the owner brought the dog in to the vet YESTERDAY and said I cut it's leg.

Mind you, I managed to somehow time-shift and cut her dog a month after I groomed it.

The vet examines the dog and tells her it is NOT a cut at all, it's a lumpy cyst like thing that has broken open, probably cancer.

She decides this means I gave her dog cancer.

Really. If I had the power to give a creature cancer... it wouldn't be the dog.

Wife wakes me up at 3:45am before I have to go to work. Says kids were up an messing with your reef tank. Now anyone that knows anything about saltwater tanks knows they are touchy!! So they dumped a cup if krill,pellets,half left of dechlor bottle an ph stable ! Then knocked corals over,unplugged lights,messed with timers,messed with skimmer. Tank was pure white. Removed all the floating food I could as rest dissolved. Did a water change then and another when I got home 8hrs later. Corals are all stressed out so time wil tell if they survive. I rescued the sea anemone years ago from a crappy petstore. It has gotten huge. I pray it doesn't die! Why the heck do little kids get into stuff! 😟

Re: Rant of the Day..
 

unfortunally the don't think about what they do.. but im very sorry and i hope your tank get gelaxed soon and no death :)

Re: Rant of the Day..
 

I was stacking up dizzied like cord-wood, broke my scope cross-hairs.. I'll be sighted back in by the end of the day.. I hear my pecans saying save me.. :v)

Re: Rant of the Day..
 

Dug up two nice Namwah to sell to a guy at work. Told him the price an we discussed it past two days an brought them an he changes his mind. Other guys said he is a story teller. Now I have to figure out what to do with them.

Re: Rant of the Day..
 

I've been watching our young hazelnut tree for several weeks now, hoping this would be the first year we would get a crop. With our dog on guard to chase away any squirrels things were looking very promising. And then we decided to take a break from the busy summer and drive down to Oregon for a couple of days to relax (we took the dog with us).
When we returned three day later the tree had been stripped of nuts........... :(

Re: Rant of the Day..
 

The scope I did get has some nice features, but overall for my purposes it sucks! Not enough light gathering and way to narrow of a view.. So I'm off to the store for a redo..

I have been trying to find my name on a coke bottle all summer! What's the deal coke!

Re: Rant of the Day..
 

The Fam all went for a walk an in a part of the neighborhood they are still building. We see a large 15ft at least Palmento palm. They just cleared the woods out so must be wild/ left behind maybe from someone that lived here years ago. Sabal minors are weeds in the woods all over around here. Don't normaly find Palmentos chilling in the woods. Anyhow I called the builders President and he explains to me someone bought it and will be picking it up. Now mind you that was almost two weeks ago. It's bare rooted sitting on top of the dirt. We hit 19 degrees one night and then 25. Newest growth was fried. Still sitting there and called the guy back asking what the deal is. Never called back. Contacting the builders you get cheaper prices on stuff.

..........My motto....It is better to ask for forgiveness ....than it is... to ask for permission....! Got a shovel?

Re: Rant of the Day..
 

That tall and weighed a lot, no truck, and several police including my neighbor. So taking it wouldn't go well :).

Re: Rant of the Day..
 

UMMMM even better yet...:08:

The cops can t

Re: Rant of the Day..
 

The cops can testify you was just giving the plant a better home, so it wouldn't be all by itself no more.. :v)

Re: Rant of the Day..
 

Our neighbor is pretty cool haha. If I had a truck I would get some guys from work and bam free palm tree in the yard haha. I will be going to check to see if it's there in a few mins. Hey Abnshrek haven't seen you post in awhile. Saw some cactus grow beside the highway I'm going to get and another highway 40mins away hundreds of wild Sabal Minor and going to dig one of those as well. Nothing around us close by as all developed areas.

Re: Rant of the Day..
 

Yep! Still flipping there. I'm going to keep bugging these people about it!

Re: Rant of the Day..
 

So Palm tree is still there, so tracked down a guy. He made some calls and they said Palm doesn't belong to them. It's mine if I want it! AWESOME! But they said go through HOA before planting it. So that takes at least 30 days. They said I could move it into the backyard to keep it safe. As first come first serve if someone else asks about it. Only problem now is getting it to my house! I don't have a truck,trailer or a bobcat and they are pretty expensive to rent for a few minutes. I have thought if I had a way to get it a few streets over to my house and just plant it myself. But if a builder looked around for it an saw it planted,then checked up he would see no HOA paperwork approved.

Re: Rant of the Day..
 

Do you have a "Home Depot" close by?
They rent out trucks or pick-up trucks. You do not have to buy merchandise from them to do so.
Last time I checked, it was $19 for 90 minutes ( unlimited mileage).

Re: Rant of the Day..
 

Not really close. But still no way to get it on the truck. Thanks though.

For those who love ferns like I do........big steps.....Stamps

Next is Bananas

Re: Rant of the Day..
 

What about those guys from work you mentioned before? Don't give up!!

Re: Rant of the Day..
 

Why aren't you dressing for the "experience"? Or are you?

Re: Rant of the Day..
 

I never thought to drop the "u"...interesting. Just up the road is Mims and there is a saying about that area.

I'd love to have a driver dressed as a kqueen (?) but 1st I want a house fixer or maybe a fiddlehead fern start or 2 for my very shady backyard.:ha:

Re: Rant of the Day..
 

Wife and girlfriend? Bring them both if they're handy with a hammer. :ha:

I honestly doubt WM here has fidddleheads but will check. I have ferns; I can find more but I'm interested in known edibles. (And if there are others, let me know.) And I have enough going on that ferns are not at the top of my list.

Re: Rant of the Day..
 

A guy was walking by our property today and looked at the banana plants in disbelief that they can be grown in San Diego.
I offered him a taste sample of my latest homegrown tall Namwah bunch. He liked it and said "they taste good - just like Chiquita".
Guess, what? No more taste samples for you, Sir. Those taste so much better.
