Kaylee ,'Out Of Gas'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
That poor woman. That poor, poor woman. I would have to move out of that house.
That is heart-breaking. It's hard to even think of trying to say anything, because you know that whatever you can come up with would be just one tiny drop of sweet water added to a whole world's worth of oceans of tears - no chance for making it easier for the woman to drink.
That's just awful, Erin.
Connie and Erin, how upsetting, both those losses have to be among the hardest.
Take care of your peoples. That's the trite but true message I get, love the people you love while they are here for you to love them.
T says she's just in shock right now, working on Xanax and blankness. They cremated her on Friday.
Ugh.
I need to buy a rake and some more lawn bags. I am a total noob when it come to gardening, but by god, this year, my yard will not be a brown hole of despair.
Does anyone know when it's the proper time of year to lay grass seed or till? Do I need to start adding nutrients or plant cocaine down or something? Any sites for absolute idiots at gardening who live in the Midwest? I have a Zone, right? I MUST KNOW MY ZONE!
Not this weekend, but next, I am going to start some plants in containers inside. I know I want an herbal planter -- I will start some basil, and some mint, sage, cilantro, catnip, and thyme. I would also like to get a rosemary thing -- bush? Stalk? Plant? They smell so good.
The cooperative extension service to the rescue! Aren't you in Kansas? [link] I think you're around 6B [link]
There must be such a resource for western Virginia, too. I need it. I am such a shitty gardener, you'd think I could fertilize with my mere presence.
I think every state has an extension service. Here's Virginia: [link] In addition to the publications, there's probably a local extension agent you can call.
Just in case anyone else wants to find a local coop extention, here is a map, click on your state to find more local offices: [link]
Connie and Erin, those are terribly sad things. And so scary, how quickly a loved one can just be gone.
Since there seems to be a gardening theme this morning, I need some advice about container gardening in the Pacific Northwest. I did quite a bit in Texas but this is my first spring in Oregon and I'm not sure what grows well, particularly here on the coast where the sunshine is brilliant but sporadic. Any suggestions?
