Ben, Jade plants are cool. I worked in a greenhouse at an agricultural high school. I've never seen any of the Jade plants with buds or flowers.

I learned how to make them flower by accident a few years ago. I just removed the dead dried up flowers off the plants 2 days ago. I have 5 of them that are 2 1/2 to 3 foot tall. They should be way bigger but I have accidently froze them a couple times.

Here is a pic of them in full bloom.

Thank you for all the kind words. He's only 64, and has plenty of time left, God willing!

I was in an accident and got wacked with some health problems at the same time about 8 months ago. I have been trying to get back to working out since then. I have finally been able to lift weights for the last month. I am also just learning to deadlift.

So my good news is yesterday I deadlifted as much as a fellow members 5' 4" 130 pound wife does. I pulled 300 pounds yesterday. It is nice finally being pain free.

I wanted to update this with some recent news. Started out bad but has become more positive as of late.

My father unfortunately suffered a stroke. It has been a challenging time for our entire family. For many of you that have older/elderly parents, or have gone through this experience, it's very difficult seeing those you care about encounter these sorts of problems.

However, it's been 10 days since this occurrence. My father is conversing with little, to no speech issues and is in physical therapy. He may need some sort of assistance for the rest of his life, but he is alive, talking and thankful.

Each day is a blessing, and there is always a positive to every situation. Life always presents challenges but we are able to get through them.
