This Linda Fleming...

...is not dead. When I checked my stats last night, I was amazed to see I had 100s of hits via referrals from searches people were doing on the name Linda Fleming. I couldn't think of a thing noteworthy that I have recently done that would explain this sudden interest in me. But today while watching CNN I heard the news story about a Linda Fleming who was the first person to die under Washington state's new assisted suicide law. Sorry to disappoint all the people who visited my blog thinking I was the dead woman, but I am not, and I'm very much alive. I do support the right of ill people to terminate their lives and for doctors to assist them with a peaceful, pain free death. Good grief, we think it is cruel to let an animal suffer, but insist people must endure a long agonizing death. I just don't understand that way of thinking.


And speaking of hits and referrals, I've lost count of the hits I have gotten when people search for "wrinkled old butts". What's wrong with you people? Why in the hell are you looking for wrinkled old butts on the Internet? Ya sick bastards! You'll see no wrinkled old butts here, so move along now. I assume people are referred here because of the entry I wrote last summer about "Donald" exposing his weathered old ass at the pool.


I also had no idea girls in bikinis wearing tool belts was so popular until I started getting oodles of hits due to searches done on that topic. I can understand guys searching for girls in bikinis, so that doesn't bother me like the old butt searches. I assume the hits from this search are due to the entry I posted about men reacting the same way to photos of girls in bikinis as they do to the sight of power tools.



I'm not wearing a bikini or a tool belt this weekend. Just a pair of dirty shorts and tank top as I potted plants today. We had this water fountain sitting on our patio but never turned it on because it was just too loud. So I took the motor out of it and turned it into a planter today. I filled the holes with succulent plants, and now need to get some air plants to glue on the sides.





I also potted up some jade babies I recently rooted. I cut some suckers off the mother plant and stuck them in cups of perlite to root. When I got the mother jade about 4 years ago she was only size of these babies. But look at her now!






Hope you all have a great holiday weekend!
Peace-
Linda (The Live Linda Fleming)

Sorry to hear about the Washington Linda, but glad she didn't have to suffer.
I wish I had gotten some pots planted today, but got busy with other things. Yours look great! I love that fountain-turned-planter! Very clever of you to do that!
(I'm GLAD you're the live one!)

I think that people that don't have a life altering illness and one that you will have your whole life don't realize how hard it can be and that sometimes enough is enough. Its not like most of the people that choose to end their life like that do so at a whim. Wake up one morning and a switch goes off and they decide they have had enough.

" we think it is cruel to let an animal suffer, but insist people must endure a long agonizing death" i'm going to use that next time someone starts in on me about assisted suicide.

oh, me achin' back....I did the same...most of the day. Potting and repotting some tomatoes and hot peppers that a friend gave Greg.. He wants to plant all of them... we'll have enough peppers to feed Mexico if he keeps this up! I hope they have a chance to grow in our short summer...and even shorter this year seeing as it is above freezing tonight...finally!

The first few days or even weeks of gardening...oh, brother ..it kills my low back..I was hoping that with all my exercising it would be better...but, absolutely not.....

I wish I could grow tropicals like you do.... we used to grow those rubber trees as we called them..but, they looked suspiciously like your Jade plants... I bet that's what they were ....

no quiet work on my dolly today... and none tomorrow either I bet.

I agree, if you are terminally ill you should have the right to terminate your life and not suffer any longer.
I had to laugh about the searches made for Wrinkled old Butts!" ROFLMBO
I think a lot of people are either Bored or don't have anything better to do!
I love how you converted your fountain into a planter. Great idea.
Glad that YOU are still among the living! :)

I really LOL at your last two post you are just a hoot and so damn funny,I could use a laugh today..great idea about the fountain but too bad it was too loud ,it beautiful!!!

Serena said...

What a neat way to utilise your bamboo fountain. I have two Balinese sets of bamboo that look very similar to your fountain but mine aren't fountains...they are candle holders instead. I bought them like that ~ :)

I'm sure glad you're still very much alive! Re. wrinkly old butts....it's amazing what some people will 'google' ~ lol

Sandy said...

Wrinkled old butts, hahaha. This was a funny post today, enjoyed it. Great idea with the fountain.

And I love jade plants and take cuttings all the time and they grow so fast.

Your garden space is so lovely - what a serene and peaceful spot you are creating.

Linda you gave me a laughing fit lol! I too was planting yesterday. Cleared a corner of the garden which had an overgrown bush with lots of suckers coming out of it. It looks neat and tidy now with decent plants planted.

I think we have all been doing our potting and planting this weekend,of course we don't plant much as our yard doesn't allow it, but we are really leaning toward cutting down that large maple in our yard,it really is overwhelming everything else. The water fountain makes an awesome planter, good idea!!
