I've been having reasonably good luck growing my own herbs indoors, so then they're quite cheap after the first month or so to recoup cost of potting soil. Seeds are less than a package of store-bought herbs and since i only use a few at a time a packet can last for years. Old yogurt containers with a few holes punched in the bottom make great herb planters. Sadly, the outdoor rosemary bush has not survived the winter. Not that i've pulled it out of the ground, there's always faint hope that the promise of spring will bring it back to life.
Lydia: Its removal from Burma is a felony and when triggered it has the power to melt human eyeballs.
Giles: In that case I've severely underpriced it.

Happy birthday, Jon!!
Way to go at the pool with your mindset, Connie! I'm of the same one--yeah, I'm fat and I'm in a clingy swimsuit, so deal with it.
Speaking of, I have to get a hold of my swimming partner and see if she's up for an afternoon swim (she hasn't been feeling well this weekend). If not, I'm heading over there by myself in a little bit.
Oh, and as of this morning, I'm down 100.4 pounds.

Triple digits! Amazing, Kathy. I'm so pleased for you, and impressed by your diligence with the swimming, and learning new eating habits too.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Wow, Kathy, nice milestone. Congrats!
Y'all almost inspire me to actually go to the pool.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Way cool, Kathy.
I cannot swim for exercise. I know the individual bits, but it's just such horror to me. Of course, I feel that way about running, and aerobics, and, well, it's pretty clear, ita doesn't exercise if it doesn't involve kettlebells. She may do physically vigorous things, but it's not the same vibe.
Watching The Expendables. It's incredibly ponderous and takes itself very seriously. However Jason Statham is fucking brilliant, and I love Eric Roberts and forgot he was in it. Not enough Li, though. Not even slightly. And apparently I can't take Charisma Carpenter seriously.

Jilli does this about once a week, I think. She wades into the room of petticoats and goes spelunking for treasure.
Not quite as often since I finally cleared out and organized the storage heap.
Happy birthday, Jon!

Oh, and Hubby found a way to shut up the gym twinks who found his rotundness disturbing--he took off his shirt and heard the locker room go silent, then heard a whispered "Look at all his scars ... dude..." Combined with his military-short haircut, he thinks they believe he's an injured vet--which he is, but the two didn't coincide--and are very nice to him now.

Kathy, that's great!

Wow, Kathy! Nice work.

I know, but I just like the image of you wading hip-deep into a sea of petticoats.
