...if you are suddenly very excited about Black Friday because Andy's is having a sale!

Saw this on Facebook and it made me laugh Attachment 106145

That was really great!

:rofl:

I'm a year late to this party, but hey...

...If you're planning a vacation and you give the house-sitter detailed information on how to care for the orchids but forget to tell her where the cat food is kept. >.<

Oh my goodness, this thread has made me laugh so hard!!

Maybe this?...
When you're painting your kitchen and precariously perched on a rolling cart to get to the space above and wayyyyy back behind the fridge and think, "Oh no! If I fall, crack my head on the stove and perish…

1. How will the orchids survive? I should have taught that strappy paph to dial 911!
2. Wait! It's too soon! I have to write a will for my 'chids. But I don't know anyone I trust enough to bequeath them to.
3. I should have watered, fertilized, and filled the humidifier before getting up here."

You might be an orchid enthusiast if…

You're talking sweetly to your chids, telling them how incredible they are and what a good job they're doing growing such beautiful, healthy leaves and gorgeous blooms and look up to find your dog staring, quite unimpressed, with a look of, "What are you yacking to THEM! for?"

You're running out of windowsills and contemplate purchasing a console table for your kitchen solely so you can discreetly install a grow light under its top and BUY MORE ORCHIDS! for the shelf below.

When you think of selling your place, your first thought is, "But it has such great orchid lighting! I couldn't possibly move!"

When you think of selling your place, your second thought is, "Is there a section on MLS that will let me select places with only 'East-facing windows' for my paphs?

When you dream of moving to a tropical paradise just so you can grow orchids that presently you're only able to ogle online.

When you dream of winning the lottery so that you can finally, finally, get that orchid you've always wanted but was out of your price range. Oh, who am I kidding?…all the orchids your heart desires!!!!

When you go to the nursery, which now has a beautiful retail store attached to its greenhouse and you ask the owner if they could just open the door so you can peek in and see all the rows and rows and rows and rows of blooming orchids. And when they do, your heart skips a little. (Ok. Maybe a lot.)

When you tell the same person, who is now looking at you like you're an orchid that might have seriously fallen out of your pot, that if you worked at their greenhouses you'd be tempted to run up and down the rows touching all the plants.

Your kind son brings you a free flat screen tv, but you're hesitant to get rid of your 25-yr-old tube tv because your orchids seem to like the 'in-floor heating' aspect (and prime show-off territory) of sitting on the relic.

You'd like to branch out into mounting or hanging your orchids, but don't want to damage your ceiling so you look at standing coat racks and think they might be a FANTASTIC solution.

Ditto for those nice rounded floor lamps.

Double ditto for the decorative, wire standing mannequins at HomeSense.

You ogle the fake ficus tree someone has dumped in the elevator vestibule, because you think it might be possible to remove all the plastic leaves and use the trunk for a mounting tree. …Uh, hang on a minute, maybe I should just run down and get that! ;)

You buy decorative containers at the grocery store, toss the lid and use the bowl for a cute orchid pot!

Smart & Final sells pickles, peppers, etc in 1-gallon / 3.8l plastic and glass jars. I learned to like peperoncini and pepper rings in my salads, and to eat pickles at home.

...if you name your orchids, talk to your orchids, and pet their leaves affectionately as you would pet your spouse's hand...you maybe an orchid nut. Great idea for forum topic! Too much fun to read!
