Your great vacation
Comments (15)Absolutely, Larry! Day trips, stay-cations, are perfectly wonderful. We spent heavily on 'the big' vacation last summer, though the memories are cherished. For this year, we've reserved a site for camping 3 different weekends, 2 in May, one in July, which will cost about 1/6 of the big trip last year - for all 3 of these camping trips. If your state parks have camping, it should be very reasonable. State parks in FL (where we like to go, we're less than 20 miles from the border) charge $24 for most camp sites. There's no restaurants to tempt us with $25+ plates, which we always go for when out in a hotel. It's just us, the beach, and whatever we bring with us. We did finally go to Raleigh last weekend. Romantic notions of taking pictures of quirky roadside attractions quickly vanished. Holy cow I'd forgotten how crowded it is in that part of the country. The 'scenic route' we tried between Charlotte and Raleigh was totally bogus, and full of traffic lights and big rig trucks, no more pleasant or bucolic than I-85. Loved visiting the people, but driving around Raleigh is not something I had any interest in until/unless we got hungry and wanted to go to a museum. Life's way too short to spend it sitting at traffic lights like those. I spent more time at those lights last weekend than I have in the whole past year living here. That's one thing we love so much about New Orleans (and camping, for that matter.) Park the car when we get there, then it doesn't move again until it's time to go home. What are folks' plans for this year?...See More7/10 seedlings
Comments (1)Very nice seedlings, especially the last one. I know what you mean about breaking off a bud or scape. Makes me mad when I do it and I do it every year to a couple of them. Nancy VB...See Moreoh me, oh my! Took my fosamax thinking it was another pill
Comments (12)Glad to hear all is well. All medication has some risk of side effects. The key is to determine whether the risk of taking the meds is greater than the risk of not taking them. Sometimes that involves some personal judgement and isn't a black and white call that can be made entirely by your doctor....See MoreEggplant seed import tightened
Comments (12)I suggest you bring all the tomatoes that you want as soon as possible, import import import : ). If you look at the banned list you can easily see that just about anything that's a big commercial crop is banned, who's to know if the commercial growers are protecting the crappy varieties they have from competition and have to change varieties or if they really are worried about a new virus on their chemical fed immune system deficient crops but you cant help but notice it doesn't have much to do with weeds. You can also notice it has alot to do with plants that can be used for mind altering activities! Life is short, you only live once and the entire planet will be stuffed in 100 years anyway thanks to the goverments of the world especialy the dodgy enviromental ones like the USA and ours and by that time the only thing that will grow and have a chance of saving us is weeds and we wont have ANY! to grow :(. For me a cold climate giant banana is the holy grail of plants and I WILL own one one day no matter the law or price or what I have to do to get one or where I have to hide it :P but I'll wait and see if I get a sensible legal option for a couple more years (like making certified tissue cultures legal), It's just a pity it is also enemy number one at Customs, thanks to Queenslands banana growers who allready have every banana disease and are thousands of km's from me. Once my wife who had no idea it was illegal at the time sent me a live daisy flower! imagine that! better still imagine the good cutting I could of had of something instead of that flower if I had of known I would be smuggling something. Anyway I got the flower no problems. Even better than that once for some reason a penfriend sent my brother a jar from the United States of get this....... DIRT! from the garden so he could have a bit of the states or something. Imagine what was in that jar, we never knew it was comming and did the responsible thing.. never opened it, I guess everything that was alive in there is dead now (that was years ago) I figure that's alot worse than my poor old banana seeds and it allready got here, hmmph it's all very frustrating, where's my speedboat...See Morehounds_x_two
