I keep circling around to the experiments with the monkeys who hit the buttons hooked up to their pleasure centers instead of their feed buttons.

With you. The next time I am in a voting booth jabbing levers, I will suppress all memory of this conversation.

That's a lot of pushing, Gus. Are you sure you're not writing porn instead of code?

msbelle -- congratulations!

I hope you and your little boy have nothing but smooth sailing from here on out.

Is anyone good with plants? My jade plant is withering and I have no idea why.

Pushing, porn, plants, pepper, poppies, paxil ... it is a 'p' conspiracy!

Ailleann: It wants light and food. Real light. The thing that stores call "plant spikes" will do the food thing.

Oh, and move it away from the AC vent.

It sits right next to the window, and I used plant food two weeks ago. The AC vent is across the room.

Hmm. Is it old? Plants have lifespans, just like us meat-people.

I'm not sure. I got it two years ago from my old boss. It's got fresh new shoots coming out of the main stalks. Stoopid mixed messages.

Congratulations, msbelle!

Ailleann, overwatering is a likely culprit.

Cool. If it is shooting, things are good. BTW: I am sure you have checked [link]

If it is right in a window, you may want to think about the sunburn issue.
