I just had my first serious art show. Not solo, but still.
This looks like something I could do as a beginner. Thanks for answering.
I am sorry if this going to sound stupid, please bare with me: So the soil is in the bottom black part and the actual potatoes are growing in the straw? Or are the potatoes growing in the soil and going through the straw? TIA from a person without any potato growing experience.
I used the collapsed cardboard box method and I am not sure about how the whole thing is working out.
Great setup! Can you please tell me more about those pots/boxes where the potatoes are growing in? How are they built?
So sorry your mom behaved like that. Mine would say "Oh you got birthday money from grandpa? Here, I'll save it for you" and of course when I wanted it back, she would get bent out of shape yelling that she had given me life and she wasn't expecting anything in return So why should I. Awful all around.
I never thought about this topic like this. FWIW I've done both. Always got financial help (Dad payed for my car, stuff that was not covered by scholarships, vacation, extra curricular classes or interests, etc.) and then when he lost his job I helped financially for a bit while he got up on his feet again. I miss him everyday ❤️
Thanks! Some titles here caught my eye.
Last week my kid's mare got spooked by a plastic bag while said kid was riding her. They never flinched and everything was under control in a few seconds but you bet I was unable to breath while watching from afar.
Oh I've been there too! Read about it while planning my pregnancy. It made me feel so paranoic that I got the test done twice just in case. I never got sick with it, but paranoia was a removed.
Since then I have gotten mental health help to deal with anxiety etc.
I wish the person who laid down the stone paths you just described could read what you so beautifully wrote about their special place.
She was selected and placed there as a mere puppet of current president amlo. México is indeed a narco governement but people who don't actuallly experience it first hand living it every day think that this facade is true. She was married to a guy who was investigated for embezzlent but got off the hook because of political contacts. Her father was a chemist who owned a solvent factory (he has passed away and she inherited the business) with very sketchy practices regarding toxic waste management. Factory is still hers and it still operating under the same principles.
You sure are a pb&jelly connoiseur! I like your comments about the different kinds of jellies, jam, etc. I have never tried prickly pear but it sounds delicious. My personal favorite is passion fruit jam but I also like red currant jelly.
I am not a biologist but could you please share the name and author of the book? Sounds liek something I'd enjoy TIA
Ooh sweet baby fly high! You were the best girl ❤️
I don't know about nerdy enough but I found "The song of Achilles" by Madeline Miller so romantic! We all know the story of Achilles of course, but I found this book very refreshing because the one speaking is Patroclus. Beautiful ending.
It would be lovely to have a chance to experience hiking/ backpacking like this!
Thanks for sharing your recipe, they sound delicious and just perfect for an upcoming camping trip.
Mystery/ crime/ horror novel recommendations?
ETA: I have read and downloaded many of your recommendations and have had lots of fun reading them! You are such a welcoming enthusiastic bunch. Thanks a lot! Still looking for more suggestions in case someone wants to add to the ever growing list. So far this year I have read twenty seven books.
Looking for some good mystery novels/short story compilation, etc. Preferably no sci fi or futuristic stuff, no Stephen King. TIA.
FWIW just finished reading "We have to talk about Kevin" by Lionel Shriver. It was OK.
Do any of you get into a feeding rut at times? Do you particularly enjoy/hate it?
As stated above. I can go months without eating an egg, for example, and suddenly crave eggs benedict for breakfast everyday.
Good thing is my dietitian is aware of this executive dysfunction/quirk/habit and works closely with me to help me out planning meals in a way that works me.
Right now I am on a soup kick: Soup, soup, soup everyday, all day.
