I has sprouts... and an xbox.

I seeded my "must haves" like basil and tomatoes about ten days ago. I am now living in fear that we will wake up hanging from the ceiling by cucumber vines. I have never had a batch of cucumber grow this quickly. They are literally bigger every time I look at them. All the better for scary mutant pickle-making ( Read more... )

A quit smoking for almost a YEAR. Then he had a series of not-quite-fights with his new brother in law AND work went to hell, so he picked it up again to "calm his nerves."

My ass. I wonder if he'd go for the $ incentive. He claims to be planning to quit when the his work's busy season dies down in May.

(Too right about the pants, though. It's hard not to say anything, but I don't want to inflict my body issues on him. He and his friend sit around and bitch about weight like girls in TV commercials.)

I admire people who can grow plants. My dad keeps giving me lemongrass (a goddamn WEED), and I keep failing at supporting its life. Will you be painting faces on your mutant pickles?

You are quite welcome tn the idea. I'm all for anything that reduces the number of smokers in the wild.

Haha I hadn't thought of drawing faces on them, but I think it would be *awesome* to have a jar of homemade pickles in the fridge that stared at anyone who opened the door.

A) Ok, it's REALLY wrong, but the first thing that I thought when I read this was: "Well, death reduces the number of smokers." This was quickly followed by "What about smokers in prison?" Death has its place (at the end of life...which in most cases had better be at least 65 years after birth), and so does prison, but neither should be the main component of an anti-smoking program :)

B) You could probably sell the faced pickles: "Pickles with Personality." Those stick-on wiggly eyes that they sell in craft stores could be fun too. They'd wiggle when the door opened. Halloween project?

Awesome. I have been wanting for ages to be able to grow my own veggies and once I move into my new/first house I can (three weeks and counting down). I don't eat tomatoes on sandwiches from restaurants because they are tasteless and slimy but I love tomatoes. I can't wait for a garden fresh tomato!!

That's terrific that you'll be moving in time to make use of your first spring/summer in the house.
I got so sad once that James put my tomatoes in the refrigerator. He just didn't understand. :*(
