@MsDemeanour As the second oldest continuous gov't(Britian is oldest) and oldest constitutional government (written) it is easier to teach history since we only have to coverup a few major failings. Few ASmericans can tell you anything about the Articles of Confederation (the orginal contitution) or much except the fairy tales of the revolution. We still view or history through rose colored glasses, so we like most of the rest of the world will be condemned to repeat it until we finally learn our lessons. I'm a history buff and a science nerd, so I really don't fit neatly into boxes. and when you think of the averege intellegence, half the people are dumber than that.

glennlab replies on Jul 2, 2019:

@larsatrg I was taking no position, i was expaining the history of why. It is not for respect to the dead or the living, it was for public safety at a time when roads were much more unsafe than they are now. When I took driver's ed in 1970, it was a law that all traffic in both directions would pull to the right and allow the prosession to travel unimpeded. When that law was written most roads were 2 lane with no paved shoulder.

@freeofgod there are certain cultivars that work best in the south for "fall" tomatoes (plant in July harvest sept-Nov). The large varieties work best where you have a longer cool season at night.

Another reason I plant more cherry and grape tomatoes.

@PiperMckenna You can use almost any salad dressing as a dip, or chip dip, I use a catalina dressing for my grape tomatoes. You can experiment from different dressing recipes, nothing is sacred, modify to your hearts content until you find what you like. I add V8 to my salsa so that it is watery without reducing flavor appreciably. I happen to like it thin on chips, but thick when I use it as a salad dressing. You'll also find that each batch tastes different, that's just a by product of using fresh ingredients.

glennlab replies on Jun 28, 2019:

@CrazyQuilter with those parameters, I would go for one v shaped branching on the main trunk and remove most suckers, so that it looks like a tomato hook worm has attacked the plant. They can survive and even thrive with only mimmal foliage. You get about the same amount of sun that I do, but i believe that you will have more sub 80 degree nights (the maximum temp that blossoms naturally set fruit) so upright cages should do well. The more daytime heat you have, the smaller you should want the fruit to be.

@CrazyQuilter there is conflicting research out right now as to whether pruning increases tomato output over the life of the plants. I typically will pinch prune those stems that are lower and either have no fruit or finished fruiting. It seems to work for me, I finally cut down the number of tomatoes that I plant I've got 6 this year, but 4 are cherry cultivars.

Jimmy Buffet is a licensing whore, he lends his signature piece yto anyone with enough money. It is currently my favorite casino, but it was recently merged with 33 other properties, so I'll have to see how that pans out. They are phasing the merger in, so I think I'll get 6 more months of really good comps.

I can spot a few, how about you

Between pollen and summer comes Lovebug season. It doesn't last long, but it sure makes it statement. I believe it's from st cloud all the way to georgia line.

Has anyone grown loofah plants?

it's a pain in the butt job to get the seeds out of it, though! or maybe there's a trick I missed ...

glennlab replies on Jun 27, 2019:

I place the skinned fruit in a pillow case, tie a knot in the opening then put in the dryer on the lowest, or no heat setting, let it run for about 20 minutes, you should get 90-95% of all the seeds out.

Hi Piper!!! Welcome to the site! Many of us grow loofah plants. I have one growing right now, it is climbing my Mulberry Tree. :) @Glennlab - he has been growing for ages now - got seeds from him. One vietnamese farmer I know grows it as vegetable to eat. I don't know if it is that tasty, but ...

glennlab replies on Jun 27, 2019:

@PiperMckenna I would plant now, they will produce begining in the hot part of the summer most prolificly. They will quickly catch up. even with no trees to climb, they will act as ground cover much like cantelope.

I shouldn't ... but ... earphones ...

Oh crap, I’m staying at my aunts and it’s late and I just belly laughed really loud when I figured this out. I’m tempted to try it because the earbuds just won’t stay in my ears

I love blue tooth in the car, it shuts off the radio and I get it through all the speakers. It has gotten to the point that there are some people I won't talk to unless I am in the car.

In case anyone is interested, I am much more the former rather than the latter.

Actually since the largest weapon in our inventory is just under 1.5 megatons, he would have had the choice of 4 different nukes, a ton of different conventional weapons as well as some that are prohibited in warfare that we have not signed on to decommission yet. The Tsar Bomba is the largest ever...

glennlab replies on Jun 23, 2019:

@Our_existence Nuclear winter, was way over estimated and research funded by the KGB and its successors. That is not to say that the aftermath will be all rosy, but not nearly as bad as the picture paints. Almolst all weapons are targeted to non population centers ie military bases and missile silos, there is very little to burn compared to the cities that were used in the modeling. The real problem will be in dealing with causalties (there are not enough burn beds nationwide to accomidate even a small weapon detonation) and the diseases that will blossom after first strike. Now if you live in Minot, Shreveport, Omaha and a few other cities, you are SOL.

@Our_existence I fear you may be right, the Union of Concerned Scientists share out foreboding, setting the doomsday clock to 2 minutes before midnight. People should not forget that while the US and Russia only have about 2000 war reserve, war ready weapons, they each posses at least another 5-10,000 retired, ready weapons.

I get a 25 or 50 pound bag at a time (food grade), it cost the same or less than the 10 pound bag and I don't feel like I have to skimp. I broadcast it in my yard for fleas, I lay a line under the sink and behind the dishwasher. Works.

glennlab replies on Jun 22, 2019:

@GuyKeith Feed store. They normally have the large bags for poultry and other animals that stay in close proximity to each other. With poutry it is used on the birds for lice and other paracites as well as adding minerals to their food. With goats it is mainly fleas. In the pens it keeps all the little critters down and slows them for the birds.

@GwenBFree I did not realize how dependent I had been on my ex., it took me a couple of years, but for the last 4 years I have been doing the things that i want to do and not doing the things I don't. The last time I went to church was the Sunday before our divorce. Lots of other positive changes that more than make up for the negative.
