talking to Mom about ants a few minutes ago, i said, "Whatever people do ants do: agriculture, growing plants, herding animals, wars, slavery, etc." so of course she says, "Do they see psychiatrists?" and i said they do and then laughed and said perhaps they do and we don't know about it, or...
oh you certainly know it does... :)
and you'll certainly find more chalk in milk again if the courts and standards are trashed... (as trends have been going).
there's some weeds that need taking care of in this garden along with some thinning out or removing many thousands of daffodils... it still looks pretty nice considering how little time i've been able to get over there since last fall. i've weeded part of the creeping thyme edges and the areas...
except seeds for planting might be treated with fungicides or pesticides to keep the bugs from eating it while in storage or it may have coatings with all of the above plus fertilizers (though most of the time it seems like clay is used because it will be the cheapest :) ). though obviously you...
as my MS degree was designed (i go halfway through and never finished) around AI (back in the late '80s), etc i've known that they are not yet sentient or aware or even capable of understanding values, morals, etc.
even in their current state they are complicated parrots but not even as aware...
“But it is said: Do not meddle in the affairs of wizards, for they are subtle and quick to anger. The choice is yours: to go or wait.'
'And it is also said,' answered Frodo: 'Go not to the Elves for counsel for they will answer both no and yes.'
'Is it indeed?' laughed Gildor. 'Elves seldom give...
an hour and a half of weeding this morning. my body has an built in detector for when i've had enough and i get too hot i also get nauseated so i pretty much have to stop. if i get out there a little earlier tomorrow that would be a good idea. it is too easy to procrastinate some mornings...
"One person's hallucination is another person's imagination." -- (maybe Lewis Carroll, the quote marks are to make it look official even if it isn't...)
the expression "In one ear and out the other...", comes to mind momentarily and then is forgotten like ...
really, i think that most people i know are bound and determined to make themselves miserable and i'm happy to ignore most of it in self-defense. i am sorry for their troubles and wish...
i had a bit of pain in a tooth a while ago and was worried it was a filling that had cracked or failed and so i went in to have it checked. new dentist (our previous one retired, back problems, all that bending over people...) he had x-rays taken and checked it (all looked ok to him) and just...
Summer Solstice and i napped through it.
so we're now on the other side of the hump until six months from now when we start the cycle all over again, but really every moment we're still on the cycle no matter what...
woke up to go to bed. long day, no pun intended but i did smirk a bit... :)
do your Hatch chilis come out tasting ok? i've not grown them here yet (and probably won't), but i'm curious how it goes when they aren't in their original prime growing region (and yes, i've had them many times out there :) ).
as for critter control we have a few kitties that wander around at...
it will be a challenge to get this last garden weeded and planted soon, but as it is outside the fence it may all get eaten by deer, etc. anyways. so while it will get weeded at some point i am not going to fret too much if it takes me a week or two longer - not when the steamy temperatures are...
any unsolicited messages should be handled carefully. if they claim to be from some governmental organization look their contact number up in a few places to call them back and then use that number instead. i would not trust some random website for verification until i had more information...
