Saying hello

[Tyrone Kendall]

Dear Dorothy. Thank you so much for your reply. I have been overwhelmed by the responses I have recieved. You really are a friendly bunch. I got 9 replies which I will be answering this evening. I am relatively new to this computer mularky so please bear with me as I feel my way about the site. My quip about winter & June was a crass attempt at being funny and was meant to show what a fickle weather system we have here in England. For example: It only rained twice here last week. Once for 3 days and once for 4. I will be attempting to photograph my Orchids soon and post them on this site for you to have a look and comment on.So in the meantime, thanks again for replying to me and taking away the nerves.I will speak to you again soon. take care, Tyrone

Dear susanne B. Thank you so much for bothering to reply to my cry for help. I have just replied to Dorothy and will reply to every one who posted me. I am newish to computers and am still finding my way around this site.I am aware this is a quick reply but don't know how to send a longer one or how this all works so please bear with me. I really do want to save this orchid as it is stunning (as they all are) when in bloom. Thank you again Susanne and if you can give me any tips on how to navigate round the site , I will be ever so grateful. Take care, Tyrone

Tyrone -Thank you for the personal response!
My questioning your seasons is just my crass attempt at humour, also
You are already fitting in here quite nicely!
I am looking forward to your photos .. whenever you get the chance to post them ..
no worries, no hurries
Could you explain what - the weather is 'pants' here means? ..
I don't recall ever seeing climatic trousers ..

Dear Charles. Just wanted to say thanks again for helping and making me feel welcome. All my nerves have gone and I do feel part of the family. I have started watering the orchid daily now and have loosely packed some sphagnum moss in the basket to keep moist.Is this ok? All the shrivelled leaves have fallen off now so I will keep monitoring it. I will try and work out how to get photo's on here so you can have a look. I really don't want to lose this orchid so all your advice is greatly appreciated. Take care, speak to you soon. Tyrone

Dear Dorothy.Please excuse the termanology. " Pants " is an expression that describes something that is not very cool and there are add ons for varying degrees of not very coolness. For example, if something is particularly poor it is described as " Being daddies saggy pants " For me it conjurs up images of my Dads Y fronts hanging on the washing line when I was a kid and me thinking that I would never wear anything like that and it stuck

[Dorothy]

OMG Daddies saggy pants .. love your visual! and after-comment on them
You have me laughing here

Dear Ross. Thank you so much for replying to me. I was very nervous about joining and felt a bit of a berk but everyone has been so friendly all the nerves have gone and I have been made to feel part of the family. I will try and work out how to get photo's on here(Any advice will be greatly appreciated)so as you can have a look.Am away on holiday next week in Cornwall so I will be back in touch in a couple of weeks. Once again Ross, many thanks. Take care, Tyrone

Dear Tindomul. Thank you so much for replying to me. Everyone has made me feel very welcome. The shop that I got this orchid told me that it was easy to look after and only needed watering once a week , soaking in a bucket of water for half an hour. Obviously more interested in the money than the care of the plant. So thank you again for your advice and I look forward to speaking/writing to you again when i come back off holiday in a couple of weeks time. Take care, Tyrone

Excellent. Laughter is the best medicine of all. I'm sure you have equivalent phrases over where you are so perhaps we could swap some and have a good old giggle. So remember Dorothy, if something is just run of the mill it's " pants " but if it is particularly un-cool, it's " Daddies saggy pants " . Tyrone
