Bad times

Another non-gardening lol

It's been a really bad last few days or so for me

First I find monkey my Syrian hamster nearly in the middle of her cage in the daylight *still* (she is never typically there) so I shake the cage a little and that --and well she is stiff later I try to get a look at her and it looks like wet tail may have killed her something I knew about and should have been watching for!

Now I really don't know what to do aka if I should get another or what she was a special one and if not for my working all night and sleeping all day I prolly would have caught and done something --I don't know if I can clean the toys and chews well enough that the contageous thing lol would go away I had plans to get another cage anyway and I have some stuff as well lol just not the cage (that I was gonna put the robo in and give the big one back to monkey)

Oh and I've heard most of the time wet tail is fatal so the only little thing is there was a high chance she would have died anyway

On top of that a forum I'm on has decided to side with a possible lie/cheat someone tell me if this adds up or not PLEASE!

Facts as I've heard them from the person
Has to send 2 times
Mailman is a mail theif
Mail theif isn't reported (they don't report?)
They have been dealing with this long enough that in December they were aware of it
They think words are better then actions (said they would send me something then decided I wasn't "worth" it that just saying it was good enough)
They when mentioned about 20 times no less and pasted 3 times as well couldn't answer questions about there stuff
They claim to be on a fixed income

Now that specific mix with reports of people not getting and there behaviours twards me does not add up to me --if they know there mailman is a theif then why not report? Not pay double? I know I would get them to figure it out or would try to myself with evidence as well if that were the case let people in on it as well maby send a few Starbucks cards that are tied to my gold card so I can watch if it gets used or see if I get from receivers they got it and ask them then to mail it back --then it's just about going and seeing infos from Starbucks

So I think it's all fucked up and that they would rather take this persons side --well I'm *done* with it! In the off chance they actually decide that they WANT me to be nicer to them (if I think there worth it they pretty much are bottom of my cares after everything and they started low with the questions) then they may consider sending that pack they said they would before but make it really worth it!

Another occurance is that I tryied to alert a new member to poke around a bit look up posts from people and that crap but of course the mods think ANYTHING trying to help is forbidden! And I couldn't send them a pm so again fuck them like I said I'm done/gone! I even logged out (after posting a message that was of course deleted later by a mod who clearly must not care about the members) meh anyone who reads this and is from there should know well enough what I'm talking about --there free to contact me at sakura0garden@gmail.com asking about whatever they like --I think in this instance especially when I was involved in a round robin that I looked foreward seeing to the end and a game it's ONLY FAIR that the people get some alert to my being gone and the reasons behind as well

Even angel knows something's up she hasn't left me more then a few min today!

Also I'm now debating if I even WANT a garden this year!

Crazy ideal part 1

Ok so I'm on break ATM (and I'm likely to become a night poster) but I thought I'd give a quick feel for my plannings here lol

So on top of having to plan a full garden (about 40 spots to fill looking EDIBLE suggestions) in our containers I'm also gonna try to have some indoor stuff under lights too

For those I'm planning a rough hydro variation type thing I do know ill need a lot of lights and I plan mostly cfl daylight spectrum I may pull off a few tricks (oh I have tons of them) I'm also thinking I may need to get something that will be on when light out and off when dark out lol that could be fun or I can use my ikea timer and keep the hours up or so lol

Ok so in 5 gal buckets (cheap and plentiful) I plan on having a couple of plants in each or single trees in each (never touch freezing) or that as indoor plants bareroot for some many and some dirt for outhers but cleverly done then the rest will be these water bead gel things and ill have fert mixed in with that as well

Then I also am planning on some in the kitchen as well mom claims mason jars will be fine and I hope she sticks to that claim

I am trying to build in redundancies and such as well so we can prevent waste and the bugs and such as well lol as the plans progress ill cartainly try to keep y'all updated and such I do plan on buying a couple trees as well for this

Well it's about time to start running around like crazy with the bar rush that's expected lol I can only hope it's not that terribly bad

Current fun!

I know it's been AGES AND AGES sence I've last posted here's some of what's happened:

Joined a swap dissapeared someone claimed they would send an extra pack to me then they decided it wasn't "worth" it that the "gesture" was enough (I live with a compulsive liar words don't mean much after a point) well I'm not pleased (and yet they can re-mail to the person they were assigned to? Or offer to? What they gonna use the "mailmans a theif" excuse again? I emailed the post and they are with me if that was true the bloke wouldn't work there!)
Same swap person assigned to send me something didn't (how hard is it? A stamp or 2 and a card that you can make yourself!)
The host (someone! Lol!) sent a fantastic package that I need to send something *very* nice back as thanks!

With that yup I'm still generally behind on trades

And on that note lol I semi-recentally got a pack that not only did they mark as much as "be careful" (don't have exact words) 2 times but they also paid the surcharge and it looks like it was machined 2 times RUINING something that was in it! I would have added extra bubbles or so then only paid the surcharge if it was past too thick this only proves what I've been saying 1 KNOW REGULATIONS! And 2 they machine EVERYTHING! (I have bubbles with machine markings what they typically charge parcel aka 2x rate for!)

Now lol in outher news I have a job (yup lucky me! Lol) it's got fun people and is 3rd shift which is he'll when like now I should be sleeping and ms 1st shift over there has talking heads so loud across the house I can hear clearly (and hamster cage needs cleaning I'm thinking smaller cage but prolly both need lol) and she seems to think its somehow ok because she is DEAF!

And lol with having the job lol I'm thinking ill just be lazy and "buy" all my plants this year but try to get cuttings and such as possible as I wanna try getting some to stay inside as well as stuff outside and some for the kitchen

I have like 10 pots outside and ill prolly get/rig lights and such (all daylight 100+ watt cfl anything else is sub-par tho I could possibly toss a flood or general couple plants in too for warmth depending) for inside containers then see what I can do with the kitchen ones tho there likely to be in mason jars it's looking ATM

Ill prolly talk more about that plan later ATM I have to pop by the string of swears who fell down 2 stairs and is now saying she could have had a brain injury well she KNOWS what those stairs are like and that's why I'm like never down there (bad scrape on my elbow once) so her fault as she could get it made better as well!

Well night-night everyone! Hopefully ill get to posting more regularly soon? I have a couple ideals which could lead to fun stuff and as I believe in buying more not less that may lead to things here as well? (Ex: $10 a kilo or $50 for 100 kilo even if I only need 30 kilo ill prolly still pay the extra $20 as that over doubles what I'm getting --also note: this ex it's same product and that not competition stuff)

Swaps getting delayed

I'm gonna delay packing and mailing my swaps because I have this terribly hideous thing on my lip that is starting to weep after 24 hours its likely my worst cold sore ever (5 came up!) and likely not something people can catch but I'd rather be safe then not and not chance people getting ATM I am in an urgi care waiting to see the doc or what have you lol

I do hope everyone understands my desire to try to keep them safe

Solstice sewing part 2?

As some may know I haven't posted a part 2 I did not get to in part to a suprise occurrence that still has me shocked (nope not going into detail)

I did get the mints that I'd been letting with open bags get some real dirt tho and I also got a pic of my current winter seen containers ill certainly add those pics (on blogger app ATM)

My current plans include trying to sort the event and trying to grow some stuff for the hamster we have (who is a little escape artist) we also have 2 cats and 2 birds which is fun at times

So time for the now old pics? Lol

Solstice sewing part 1 (late)

I actually had a terrible day on the solstice really thought things just weren't worth much of anything anymore --I could get into the details but the short version is someone upset me when I was doing something I make no effort to lie that I was upset at the time and my mom was making up some "every outher year" garbage which as she had half flowers last year I don't believe one lick! But she loves to lie --so yea I had 0 motivation to plant seeds at the time

I really should have planted everyone on the 21st or 22nd to get the solstice correctly (part 2 will be the 28th) but I'm hoping things still come out well

So I'm trying to do atleast some aspect of the 4 sides but as I can't yet remember all of them so meh (was just chatting on Facebook that seems to think looking up the list is hard work when they've actually seen how thick a binder of mine is--well there certainly not helping my mood)

So anyway the things I've planted include: roses stevia mint --ATM I still have to plant my "fruit salad" that I don't know what all will be in it yet and the cranbwerries that I've heard are tricky to start and my mom things are grown in bogs only (the water makes harvesting easier) who knows? Maby ill do more non-trees on the next one?

So the reason for 2 is one is the solstice as the shortest day of the year the outher is the lunar solstice so I figure why not do both? And I'll also get more out as time goes on I'm also thinking ill try tomatoes and peppers and such aka what I typically grow lol

Catalogues and some fun?

So I've gotten 3 catalogues in allready! Which means ill start compiling a want list and trying to sort what I wanna grow next yearar *speaking* I wanna try wintersewing this year Friday the first things are gonna go out is the plan then when it's more winter more will go out 

So some fun? 

I think I wanna do a little contest (I'm out of stamps now used the last ones in the x-mas swap) but hopefully when I get more? 

Whoever can describe and location of the 2 German cards and the orniment I made (plantswap people in cce you are excluded from the orniment you'll see why soon) that's as I see it up to 3 people --ill put together a nice small package for the up to 3 that get it 

In outher news I'm trying to figure how I can possibly make a bedding for my hamster as well save more money if possible maby then get her better food? I know I wanna try to get her a terrifyingly large cage lol and *scared* I even think I wanna put a couple self-contained plants in there too that she can grow and munch on as well I don't know what specifically yet but I'm thinking maby 3 things that may max at about a foot or will crawl around don't mind *very* poor care and lighting may be an issue (I have yet to fully test but I don't think my hamster likes daylight spectrum bulbs)
