42 -- the number of hours it will take me to weed my garden the first day it goes below 85.
Oh! Yeah -- do I need to feed my tomato plant special tomato plant food, or will Miracle Grow work fine? I know there's special food for roses and tomatoes.

[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.

Erin, the answer is 42.
No one in my family understood when I made this reference. I had to text the Niecelet to make sure *she* at least was raised right. She was laughing at me. Cause she Got The Joke.

Fun Math Facts About 42:
Forty-two is a pronic number and an abundant number; its prime factorization 2 · 3 · 7 makes it the second sphenic number and also the second of the form { 2 · 3 · r }. As with all sphenic numbers of this form, the aliquot sum is abundant by 12. 42 is also the second sphenic number to be bracketed by twin primes; 30 is also a pronic number and also rests between two primes. 42 has a 14 member aliquot sequence 42, 54, 66, 78, 90, 144, 259, 45, 33, 15, 9, 4, 3, 1, 0 and is itself part of the aliquot sequence commencing with the first sphenic number 30. Further, 42 is the 10th member of the 3-aliquot tree.

I just destroyed my sink disposal. Ah well. I fixed it and then it just broke entirely.

Do you have one of those Allen wrench thingies, Cass? Or is it beyond the Allen wrench's capabilities?

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Often the allen wrench is attached to the underside of the disposal.

I fixed it with the allen wrench from my own personal tool kit - Go me!
And then I got the cord wrapped somehow and it sort of came loose from the fixed!disposal - Bad me!

Erin, tomatoes sometimes need extra calcium, or they'll get brown, rotten patches on the ends of the fruit. Some people just give them regular fertilizer and supplement with bone meal.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
According to some old gardening lore I once heard, tomatatoes like sulfur, and you should bury a paper match near the roots. I've not tried this personally.
