Coleus are pretty hardy also, if you're not looking to grow edible stuff.
Marigolds are almost unkillable. And, for kids, a sunflower or two is fun stuff.

A girl is here?!?! What do we do?!?!?!
This is funny when you read it immediately after cmjh's post!I'm disappointed no one has given the obvious answer about snippy dog problem...
Pee on it. Assert dominance.
Anyone have any tips on finding a (hopefully altered?) suit in less than 2 days? I have a sudden funeral to attend but I am out traveling, won't have the time to go home and get mine.
Try Goodwill, Salvation Army, used clothing stores, sale racks in dept stores. Do you need a suit, or would jacket and tie work?Anyone have any tips on finding a (hopefully altered?) suit in less than 2 days?

Any great ideas for summer vacations out east? Looking at last week of July timeframe. Probably need to lock something down soon.
Etiquette question:
When you are a guest in someone's house is it okay to kick their dog? If so, how hard of a kick is allowed?
Backstory:
Invited to friends house for get together on Memorial Day. They have 3 dogs including 2 yippy, kicking size dogs. One is extremely high strung and while I have my hands full carrying food in the house comes up behind me and nips me pretty hard in the calf. Luckily, it is cool and rainy and I have jeans on. Mrs. Hostess apologizes about it and takes the dog out of the room. I go out on porch and sit out there. When it is time to eat I come back in to kitchen. Dog waits until I have a half full plate of food and then sneaks up behind me and nips me twice in the calves. Mrs. Hostess this time scolds dog and puts him in kennel. I go back out to porch to stay away from less than friendly host animal. After everyone has eaten and had dessert - maybe 90 minutes later I go back in to pitch in cleaning up. Dog is again out of kennel and nips me again when my back is turned. Mrs. Hostess apologizes again and takes dog away. She has no idea why it is picking on me and no one else. When Mrs. Hostess is gone other guest confides in me that on another visit dog bit her. She says Host family knows but doesn't know that when she got home she discovered that the dog had drawn blood. So is it okay for me to place a short but well placed kick next time? Not that I am sure I will go back in their house if that mutt isn't contained.
I'm very glad I didn't make a scene at the time. Mrs. Velo told me after we left that Mrs. Hostess informed her that she has breast cancer and that she would be having surgery the next week.
Speaking of plants, what would a good summer planting project be for Z? It would be sitting outside with little shelter on a pavement slab.

If your measurements aren't too crazy an off the rack suit should be fine for a funeral... Unless you're like on the hook for a eulogy or something.Anyone have any tips on finding a (hopefully altered?) suit in less than 2 days?

A double chin, maybe?Val Kilmer is looking rough. Was it ever confirmed that he had throat cancer? The scarf around his neck makes me think he is hiding something.
