Theoretically you can grow new veggies from the nubs like the stems on greens or the bottom of the carrot, sprouted potatoes & onions ... this is my first go at it but it “should” work. I kept the rooted stem part of the onion that I chopped up and put it in water and it sprouted and grew roots sooooo ( we shall see )

My basic plan is to put them on my windowsill and then create a little fence behind them with a cooling rack. I think that will be enough to deter the cat as she’s already not super into planrs.

Thanks! For me once i lose the momentum its so hard to get back into it. I really was just not prioritizing myself and being lazy, wuite frankly. Good luck with getting started again! 

Yes; the zapping! It’s like when you start to nod off when you’re on the subway, and jerk awake.

The children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise. Children are now tyrants, not the servants of their households. They no longer rise when elders enter the room.

It was me and five friends at the ER, all of us quite drunk ♥️

I have a garden every year but with this craziness all going on I’ve been afraid to go out for stuff. I seeded plants with stuff we already had ( herbs, tomatoes, peppers & greens ) and am growing stuff also from vegetable nubs ( carrots, onions & greens ). Took the babies outside for some sun today.

Two of my kids are going to my alma mater, so their getting PDX specific treats in addition to insider knowledge since I also used to work for the university. For the rest of them, I’m waiting to hear from their moms to find out what they need. They were my students my first year of teaching, so they’re my babies for…

Good for Kidlet! I know “teh youts” have a bad reputation for laziness amongst some older people, but any that I know; kids of co-workers, etc., work their asses off with 2 and 3 jobs. 

Congratulations! I used to “run” (fast shuffle, really), but I never got past a certain point; maybe 5k, and then would get injured, and would lose most of what I had gained. My chiropractor and massage therapist say that my feet and ankles are just not built for running.

Congratulations and condolences!

This is why I love my small town:

One of our local parents started a Facebook page where we can all adopt a class of ‘20 senior to get them treats for fun or to get them ready for life post high school. I may have already adopted a few of my former 7th grade babies.

fuckwits, the lot of em. 

Hey all: I almost never hit SNS on an actual Saturday and I’m terminally grey, but I made a point to this time. I have to share my wonderful awful news. Currently I work for my provincial government, a government which desperately wants to be Trump Mark II. I’ve been with the government for 17 years nearly and it’s a…

Any runners here? I started getting into running last summer but thrn got bogged down with work...life.. stress.. and didnt run for 4 months. Started again about a month ago and today ran a 10k. Just around my neighborhood, of course, but i was so proud. Longest ive ever run, and i made decent time. I almost started…

Kidlet got a new job!!

I’m finally tapering off my SSRI and it’s pretty mild thus far, but also mildly annoying. Is this a weather headache or a taper headache? Who the fuck knows.

Saw this on our walk last night and it felt like a sign ...

I’m in the grays so I’m hoping someone sees this. I need help with voicemail recovery and I’m desperate. My mom passed away on February 29 and I had received a couple of voicemails from her the week before. One of them was for my birthday a few days before she died. I saved the voicemails but hadn’t been able to deal…

No cooking pics (but I love them) just growing shit
