I enjoy a good movie list. Sendups and takedowns of the powerful are comforting, as if by watching, we become part of the solution.

I respect her no less since death.

Call Miss Cleo for a prediction.

I wish this advice was more thorough and sensible. All that is offered is how to get rid of powdery mildew without mentioning at all how to reduce or avoid it entirely.

I might not appreciate being reminded of my age, and I’m old enough to have had most of these things happen, I’m old enough to remember when we appreciated people attempting to be courteous and considerate.

Thanks for injecting some thought into this topic. All too often, I see people want simple answers to complicated questions and a reason to blame someone or something.

I don’t know it’s possible to do a movie with the simple charms a show like Fantasy Island, or it’s television universe companion The Love Boat, today.

Your choice of adjectives and dismissive attitude toward criticism of the movie miss the point.

I switched both my Show Views to Ziggy.

Hornworms are always my greatest and nearly only predator and those are laid as eggs by moths, so don’t come up from the ground.

All too frequently, I see half-baked advice about soil and gardening here. I’ve countered it in a few cases and am glad to see someone else cares enough to correct bad advice. Misinformation teaches people bad growing methods. Bad growing methods produce inferior results.  Inferior results turn people away from…

If you are using a topsy-turvy planter, be sure to stand on your head while picking to know which is the bottom.
