I don't have enough room here at home for much more than a little greenhouse and a couple beds that start off each year under plastic. The greenhouse makes it so that I can have lots of plants. So . . . off I go to a couple of friends' property where we have gardens. Yes, I am a commuting...

Don't plant . . . Radioman's Sunflowers, KristinaB! They are usually very tall, and all this stuff falls off them whenever you walk by! I have more allergy problems around the sunflowers than just about anything else. But, the birds like 'em and I still grow 'em ;). The birds like the bugs...

Fowers?!? Yeah, and I can't edit a title! :lol: Well, I wanted to include fowers . . . and lawn if anyone wanted to talk about 'em. I grow too many f owers. Food holds my interest better ;). Berries! I just planted a little strawberry bed 2 years ago and had a bunch off it last year! The one...

They didn't even kick it as far as 3 months! I suppose there is something to be gained by delay, delay, delay. Like the 5 year-old who gets another 10 minutes playing with his donkeys and elephants if he can just get the parent back downstairs for a glass of water before turning off the bedroom...

It would be hard to say, Grummer. Certainly hard to say without turning this from a thread about current events into a thread about politics. Aaannd - I better stop right there :wave:.

Do you have a garden? What does it produce? Would you like to have a garden? What do you want from your garden -- flowers, veggies, something green to look at and walk on? Yes, I think of lawn grass as part of gardening. Wish my lawn looked better but I put a lot of time into the veggie and...

Michael Palin in the Himalayas . . . that is sooo, so much better! I don't care if I did see it 10 years ago . :)

zzzzzzzz zzz Can't they just skip to the vote already?!

A bill that passed Senate 89-8 is almost "dead on arrival" in the House with Majority Leader Eric Cantor opposing it. (link) The Republican led House could amend the bill and return it to the Senate. It may truly die in the process.

Folks that live in places that had slavery could answer that question about slave cemeteries, Caz12. I can say a little something about a History Detectives television show that I saw several years ago. The best that the researchers could determine, a very, very informal burial in Maryland was...

Part of our heritage as Americans: 150 years ago today, Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation. Here are some photographs of African American life at the time and shortly thereafter: At the Dawn of Freedom Here are photographs of the proclamation itself: US National Archives...

Quitting smoking isn't so tuff. Why - I've done it a dozen times! . . . okay, what finally made me stick with it was having someone at home who would cry when I showed up, smelling of cigarettes. The best I could do. It wasn't me, somebody I love. My resolution is just to try to do my...

Democratic Senator Claire McCaskill says that a provision to kill the congressional pay raise is in the bill they are voting for. I think that little gambit was to embarrass the Senate to vote for something - just anything - so that they wouldn't get that little $900 for doing zilch. They had...

Obama, Republicans reach deal on fiscal cliff; Senate vote expected tonight Washington Post reporting that Senate Republican leaders & White House have come to an agreement. Rumors that House leaders are also agreed to bring the deal to a vote in their side of the Capital. Happening now.

"did not suffer a stroke or neurological damage as a result of the clot" Clinton suffered clot between brain and skull, doctors say

Could be that the negotiations are just going to dig another hole in the terrain at a 3 month distance. Tripping Over the Can? Kicking the Can Again & It gets Stuck on Our Foot? I don't know . . . seems like Running Over the "Fiscal Cliff" is getting to be a little old & tired.

So, suggesting limits on gun sales: is a threat to the American way would leave citizens unprotected from threats foreign & domestic endangers citizens by encouraging gun sales We can't win for losing, eh? There might really be something to that last idea. However, we can be assured that...

Angel1989, Thank you. I won't need the ice but the rest of the scenario - that's probably about right for me. Most politicians like farm subsidies. They help keep food prices low and rural economies benefit. Representatives from conservative rural districts are happy with having the programs...
