Talking LOL! Yep, They're Jinxed.

This is way too funny. Okay, I watering away all 50 some of my babies last night and this morning. With everything being so dry here for the past two days, I had to mist my plants three times a day. Get this. I just watered my Ho Chi Minh yesterday morning and had to water it again last nite! Medium was BONE DRY! (That's scarry!)

Well I was finishing my watering this morning, and of all things my hair caught into the Cathy Beck and knocked it to the floor!!! LOL

Other than the medium being tossed around and disturbed, IT'S FINE!

But these little boogers seem to like danger. Need to put them in a protective bubble or something.

Jenny - I was thinking you were going to say it was knocked off the shelf by the earthquake that hit the MidWest! Agreed, from what I've read, the Cathy Beck's are danger attractors or something.

Safe guard those little CBs!!

I am beginning to think these Cathy Beck's ARE jinxed, it seems everyone is having problems with them, isn't that right Sharyn ?

So far my Cathy Beck is doing good, though when I repotted it last night and took it to the window, I almost DROPPED it!

I don't know... Maybe my Cathy Beck wasn't done drinking and grabbed my hair to get my attention or something.....

Slept like a baby! I think I'm too far East of it. Didn't feel it.

TOO FUNNY- These poor Cathy's are taking a beating! So far, mine's o.k.- but I'm telling her to behave.

Mines safe and tucked into a box lid with the rest of my chids as I've spent the last 2 days moving into the new house and just now got a chance to breath. My chids will be tucked away tomorrow. Good thing I wasnt # 3 but everyone has been spilling potatoe chips during meal time. wonder what that means.

I do not agree with the jinx.

I had 60 in grower trays in the greenhouse that collapsed. Not a single one was disturbed and I nornally knock out plants from growers trays every week just from watering.
