Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

How many plants are you selling? If it isn't a huge, huge amount, I'd risk it. Will losing the money be a burden for the org financially? If not, risk it.

I'd buy those salads-to-be if I could. Nom.

Dear god, I want to go on an ita !-ish rant. Yeah, a guy at a racetrack got kicked in the 'nads during a fight. He didn't start it. He just ended it. And people are ballistic. Seriously, they are balls. Are they that fucking fragile that it's fine to flip someone in a wreck on the track or punch them in the face but stay away from the 'nads? Nascar swears their balls are made of brass but clearly they're not if this is an issue.

It seems to have the best cost-to-nutrition ratio.

The minimum price for vegetable plants is a four pack of two-inch cells for $1.80.

I love that you know these things, Ginger. That's the kind of thing I wish I thought about before i was at the store staring at the vast array of choices and trying to make a decision.

Glad the meeting was generally good and is now over, Jesse.

A local community garden sells plants that way, and I haven't heard anything about someone walking off with cash or plants.

Well, in the midst of adding themes to my gmail and making a second cup of tea just to have something to do for a few minutes I got to help someone out with my mad excel skillz, so the afternoon isn't an entire waste.

And, in other gardening news, I found the vegetable peeler that went missing last year. It was in the compost.

I feel like that happens to vegetable peelers a lot.

I just watched Pumpkin lift the brown sugar container and swing it around (she reached through the shelf and hooked the latch.) I have no idea WHY she did it, but she was damned pleased with herself.

I won't go into excessively technical details about multiple networks on multiple shared drives and working through remote connections, but I just want to state that I'm so proud of my mad support skillz just now in a situation that initially had me freaking out from the complexity. I've been trying to be more reassuring to myself not to get overwhelmed by the big picture but break weird shit into recognizable components, and it's starting to work.

I would say that an unattended easy to lift cash box will tempt people just not paying won't. Ideally, I'd have something along the lines of a really heavy locked box with a slot, so stealing the money would be a lot of work, and then empty it at lunch, so there was not too much at any one time. A behavior economist rights about this - an unattended apple stand that did this - the farmer trusted that most people would pay for their apples but he did not want to make it easy to run off with the money.
