Worth the trouble?
Comments (15)Wow... I guess orchids are not as delicate as originally thought! Well, many of them, anyway! I don't have a good south or west window, but I do have a bright east exposure, and I do have supplemental lighting. If I ran a small humidifier in my apartment, we'd all be comfortable... humans and orchids! I would probably keep them in a place outdoors, for the summer, that squirrels wouldn't be able to get to... hung in a tree or tall shrub... and with the dogs, not many squirrels venture close to the house or outbuildings. What I'm trying to say, I think, is that if you guys can do it... I could do it, too! The more I learn here, the more confidence I gain. I thank you all for sharing your growing tips and knowledge!...See Morebull frog tadpole
Comments (28)Posted by mikeygraz 5 Omaha, NE (My Page) on Mon, Oct 20, 08 at 12:19 Fletching, based on your response I'm assuming you're a child (the retort "hows that for your slap in the face!" and horrid misspellings, well, I think that speaks for itself, haha). As for answering your simple question - yes bullfrogs are native to your area, but you specifically stated that you BOUGHT the animal from a pet store. This fact ALONE supports my original statement - it is ILLEGAL to release pets into the wild. If you bought it, its a pet and its ILLEGAL to release it into your pond. I have a good number of friends and contacts in MI and your actions would fall under that category. Maybe I should give them a call for you? Bullfrogs have a huge range throughout the United States and Canada, and you have no idea where that animal you bought in the pet store came from - do you REALLY think a bullfrog from Florida will do well in Michigan (or vice versa)? Also, by it being in the pet store, you have no idea what other animals it was exposed to or what pathogens it might be carrying that it could pass on to native populations of bullfrogs (dendrobatidus chytridmiosis) or rana virus. Do you homework, have an open mind to listening to what others say even if it doesn't fit into your plans, and think about your actions before you take them. ~Mike Excellent! :)...See Moreis an indoor grill more trouble than it's worth?
Comments (11)Would one of those spatter screens with the fine mesh help with the grill pans? I don't really get the separate grill unit unless it's the full on indoor barbecue that Dlspellman mentioned. Some of the top of the line gas rangetops/ranges have 1800W electric grills in them. Those are supposed to work very well (though hard to clean) because they get to an extremely high heat. The Gaggenau units are the most similar. I'm not usually a watt counter, but I wonder if the difference between 1800 and 1500 makes a big difference--it sounds to me like it might be the difference between really great (but hard to clean) and just okay (but hard to clean). Since you can get a 1500 W portable electric grill for a lot less, and not have to dedicate counter space for it, or have separate ventilation, etc., I don't really get it. Hm... I don't know if the portables have the lava rocks and drip tray. Those features might make it worthwhile. But you could put a small piece of thin plywood under the portable, and use it on top of your induction unit, under the hood. (I use a grill plate, which is like a grill pan, without the pan part.) I'm putting in a 15" gas unit with my 24" induction unit. Probably from similar motivations to yours. In fact, one of the reasons for the gas (which is also good during a blackout) is to roast eggplants and peppers, etc., on, since I'm not a cook outdoors person, and don't have a barbecue. I have other uses for gas as well, of course, but that was the emotional "can't give up flames" thing for me. The biggest thing that made me actually go for it, and self-import the smaller induction unit I wanted, was the blackout thing, however....See MoreIs marble worth the trouble?
Comments (40)The beauty of patina-ed anything, whether marble or soapstone, comes from the ravages of time. The first etch, scratch, or ding or second or third, are blemishes - but after 2-3 years and regular use, these battle scars blend together in a timeless, harmonious, homogenized form. I often think of it as the same kind of beauty or grace that we see on the faces of hardworking, but proud people. Sure they're scarred and wrinkled - but there's character and a story behind each and every "imperfection"....See Morehorton
