geekfarmer (Dec 26, 2007 8:00:41 PM)
Evening Yellow.

yellow (Dec 26, 2007 8:00:54 PM)
is this the cmt group?

geekfarmer (Dec 26, 2007 8:01:05 PM)
Yes it is.

yellow (Dec 26, 2007 8:01:26 PM)
Do I have the right time?

yellow (Dec 26, 2007 8:01:56 PM)
This is my first time here.

geekfarmer (Dec 26, 2007 8:01:58 PM)
Yes. 8:00 to 10 EST. (7 to 9 my time)

yellow (Dec 26, 2007 8:02:19 PM)
Is it 8:00pm eastern?

geekfarmer (Dec 26, 2007 8:02:19 PM)
Welcome.

yellow (Dec 26, 2007 8:02:49 PM)
So it's just the two of us?

geekfarmer (Dec 26, 2007 8:03:25 PM)
For now. some times there are 4 or 6. Other times only a couple. You never know.

yellow (Dec 26, 2007 8:03:47 PM)

yellow (Dec 26, 2007 8:04:05 PM)
when did you know you had cmt

geekfarmer (Dec 26, 2007 8:04:41 PM)
About 10 years ago. Looking back I can see symptoms 10 yr befor that.

geekfarmer (Dec 26, 2007 8:04:51 PM)
I have Type 2. You?

yellow (Dec 26, 2007 8:05:17 PM)
Yes, if I remember correctly I have 2 as well.

geekfarmer (Dec 26, 2007 8:05:37 PM)
How long have you known?

yellow (Dec 26, 2007 8:06:23 PM)
I was 16 when a blood test found CMT. Then we traced it through the family all the way back to WWII.

yellow (Dec 26, 2007 8:07:09 PM)
I have a question that has nothing to do with cmt

geekfarmer (Dec 26, 2007 8:07:14 PM)
I wish I could trace mine back. I am adopted.

geekfarmer (Dec 26, 2007 8:07:33 PM)
I will give you an answer, may even be correct :)

yellow (Dec 26, 2007 8:08:56 PM)
I clicked on the settings button I found in the lower right. On the profile tab near the bottom I see a row of different objects (i.e. anchor, apple, bananna...) what isthat?

geekfarmer (Dec 26, 2007 8:09:43 PM)
You can change the pix that comes up with your name. My is anchor because they don't have a tractor.

geekfarmer (Dec 26, 2007 8:10:11 PM)
I just changed mine to an apple

yellow (Dec 26, 2007 8:10:24 PM)
how silly, of course. sometimes I feel so far behind in my computer knowledge.

geekfarmer (Dec 26, 2007 8:11:02 PM)
Don't. I guess I could use a chicken.

geekfarmer (Dec 26, 2007 8:11:18 PM)
Being a "farmer" you know.

yellow (Dec 26, 2007 8:11:24 PM)
what'sthis

geekfarmer (Dec 26, 2007 8:11:30 PM)
Nice yellow hat.

yellow (Dec 26, 2007 8:11:47 PM)
hat. It's so small,I couldn't get it

geekfarmer (Dec 26, 2007 8:11:55 PM)
Or mabey a flower. I can't tell.

yellow (Dec 26, 2007 8:12:07 PM)
what's this

geekfarmer (Dec 26, 2007 8:12:43 PM)
You got me. Looks like three silver rings.

geekfarmer (Dec 26, 2007 8:14:27 PM)
do you like to garden?

yellow (Dec 26, 2007 8:15:01 PM)
not really, I think next year I'm going to plant plastic flowers

yellow (Dec 26, 2007 8:15:24 PM)
what isthis figure?

yellow (Dec 26, 2007 8:15:29 PM)
a gun?

geekfarmer (Dec 26, 2007 8:15:51 PM)
Are you one of those who kill plants. Yes I would say it is a gun. A revolver

yellow (Dec 26, 2007 8:17:38 PM)
YES. I love plants and do okay with the ones in the house. Outside, that's another story. I start of good, but get overwhelmed when I get behind in the weeding.

geekfarmer (Dec 26, 2007 8:17:51 PM)
I love to play in the dirt. Have for many years. Finaly moved to 5 arcs. Set out to tame the land and the land wone.

yellow (Dec 26, 2007 8:18:16 PM)
I do love the smell of fresh clean dirt. LOL

yellow (Dec 26, 2007 8:18:31 PM)
what is this symbol?

geekfarmer (Dec 26, 2007 8:19:14 PM)
I have been gardening for close to 25 years. Ran into some weeds here that I call the "weeds from hell". They look like nice yellow flowers but have thorns that sting.

geekfarmer (Dec 26, 2007 8:19:32 PM)
Don't know. Mayb they should have titles under them

geekfarmer (Dec 26, 2007 8:19:45 PM)
Back in a min.

yellow (Dec 26, 2007 8:19:52 PM)

yellow (Dec 26, 2007 8:20:24 PM)
We have weeds like you mentioned. We call them dandilions.

geekfarmer (Dec 26, 2007 8:21:39 PM)
Back. No, I know dandilions. Dandilions are a pain. These are deadly.

yellow (Dec 26, 2007 8:21:57 PM)
I

yellow (Dec 26, 2007 8:21:59 PM)
'oops

yellow (Dec 26, 2007 8:22:26 PM)
I'm glad I don't have to deal with those, like you have.

geekfarmer (Dec 26, 2007 8:23:18 PM)
You reach in to pull some inocent looking weeds and get hold of one of these. If you don't have leather gloves on you will let go real fast.

yellow (Dec 26, 2007 8:23:18 PM)
what do you grow?

geekfarmer (Dec 26, 2007 8:25:24 PM)
Just about anything, legle. Tomatos, pepers, peas, salad stuff.

yellow (Dec 26, 2007 8:25:30 PM)
I find it harder to garden with gloves on

geekfarmer (Dec 26, 2007 8:25:39 PM)
Have grown corn

yellow (Dec 26, 2007 8:25:57 PM)
Do you then have a farmers market?

geekfarmer (Dec 26, 2007 8:26:11 PM)
I use to but with the CMT, I have learned to. Need to protect my hands as much as possable.

geekfarmer (Dec 26, 2007 8:26:55 PM)
We do have a farmers market. I buy from there. I just injoy gorwing. Even grow stuff I don't like and give it away.

yellow (Dec 26, 2007 8:27:00 PM)
Yeah, I crochet and I can see how my right had has deteriorated due to over use.

yellow (Dec 26, 2007 8:27:18 PM)
Blessed to be a blessing, that great

yellow (Dec 26, 2007 8:28:16 PM)
How has cmt affected your gardening?

yellow (Dec 26, 2007 8:29:25 PM)
brb

geekfarmer (Dec 26, 2007 8:29:30 PM)
I can't dig as well as I once could. I depend on mechancial help more. I have an 8n tractor that I use to hall dirt, wood chips, etc. Rent a tiller to work the ground.

geekfarmer (Dec 26, 2007 8:29:32 PM)
K

yellow (Dec 26, 2007 8:36:31 PM)
I would like to rent a tiller and dig up our front yard, smooth it out and plant really good seed. It's either that or take it all out and put cement over it so I don't have to deal with it.LOL

geekfarmer (Dec 26, 2007 8:37:24 PM)
I have head of people who put in astro turf. you only have to vacume it 4 times a year LOL

yellow (Dec 26, 2007 8:37:44 PM)
that

yellow (Dec 26, 2007 8:38:05 PM)
that's great. A new option.

geekfarmer (Dec 26, 2007 8:38:16 PM)
Right now I am trying to land on plans for a potting bench.

yellow (Dec 26, 2007 8:38:48 PM)
I've heard of those and was going to ask you about it.

geekfarmer (Dec 26, 2007 8:39:08 PM)
potting bench?

geekfarmer (Dec 26, 2007 8:39:49 PM)
It is a work bench for garderners. holds the tools, has a place for soil, etc

geekfarmer (Dec 26, 2007 8:40:06 PM)
No garderner should be with out one. I have for way to long.

yellow (Dec 26, 2007 8:40:49 PM)
I thought you were talking about gardening in pots that you could sit on and everything is bench level

yellow (Dec 26, 2007 8:41:15 PM)
how funny

geekfarmer (Dec 26, 2007 8:42:21 PM)
I could see some one thinking that. I am finishing up a green house and want to start off with a place to pot up and repot plants.

yellow (Dec 26, 2007 8:42:43 PM)
I've heard of benches that have a pot available on either side

geekfarmer (Dec 26, 2007 8:43:41 PM)

ed (Dec 26, 2007 9:41:00 PM)
since Friday we have been having daily changes in the temp and pressure so I have been in much pain these past 5-6 days

geekfarmer (Dec 26, 2007 9:42:15 PM)
changes in temp and pressure don't normally bother me. My bigest complant is my hands get so cold they hurt even at mildly cold (34 to 40) temps.

ed (Dec 26, 2007 9:43:47 PM)
i feel alot of pain in my hands also, but the pain in my legs is so intense that I don't think about my hands

geekfarmer (Dec 26, 2007 9:44:53 PM)
My legs got very cold at the start of this winter. Then I realized that I was still wearing somer pants. Got some heaver pants and now my legs don't get nearly as cold.

ed (Dec 26, 2007 9:45:32 PM)

ed (Dec 26, 2007 9:51:11 PM)
he charges ~$120 a year to renew my domain name, and provide the software, and host my site

geekfarmer (Dec 26, 2007 9:52:00 PM)
Not bad. I am using a program called hotmetal. got it several years ago when I was trying to help my church build a website.

ed (Dec 26, 2007 9:52:32 PM)
