Okay, yeah, I guess it could. I know I have other irises growing around the yard in various places because they're already flowering, but nowhere is the root system exposed like that. And it makes a lot more sense than ginger.

Huh.

I suppose I need to cover the roots up though.

Seriously, for a Virgo, I am the LEAST earth-inclined/intuitive person I know

Hahahah! You've met me.

I shampoo maybe once a week, but I have frizzy/curly dry hair, and the only reason I tend to shampoo is to get rid of product build-up, which gets gross (yet somehow doesn't manage to retain enough that I can not use product...)

NPR? Did all of this come off of Natalee/IO9's idea to do a TV Tropes story, or is Fast Eddie suddenly marketing himself?

Vortex - I was just coming in to mention that. One of my friends was listening to BEZ in Chicago and heard it and phoned me. Was it part of All Things Considered? (That's just started here in DeKalb.)

ita - I heard it was an interview with one of NPR's regular tv guys talking about tropes in Soap Operas and then moving from there to TV Tropes and a discussion of that website and the founder.

Any link yet?

I feel like I should be hiding all my sensitive stuff. Or changing my screen name.

Here is a link to an article that mentions us as well as the NPR piece. link

It amuses me to think of the people at, say, work who might listen to the piece and not know they're talking about duhduhDUHN where I hang out.

Small amusements...

It's definitely an iris, Barb. Maybe iris tectorum?

Iris do have rhizomes like ginger. I don't know why I never thought of that before. Iris rhizomes should be just barely covered.

I also have spray gel that i use when my hair is getting way crazy and too flyaway

I'd love the name of this.

Garnier fructis style

curl shaping spray gel Strong

spray it all over -- move hair into place and it is better the less I ouch it
