Just Because Its Organic
Comments (55)Brix studies are highly controversial...especially those dealing with tomatoes. If you're going to compare supermarket ethylene ripened toms to plant ripened toms you're going to get skewed brix results...the plants simply do it better than forcing the ripening, and it does have to do with better micronutrient availability. That said, there's a lot of high brix/low acid testing brix advocates that want people to put a foolish amount of micronutrients in their soil rather than building a soil structure/quality that can better hold and exchange micronutrients. There's a big industry building around selling people extremely expensive bags of micronutrients the past decade which wash their way through the soil profile and/or are over-amended to make up for poor soil. Build your soil quality (holding/exchange capability), apply less, benefit more. They're micronutrients...you don't need a lot, you just need them to hang around.

Comments (47)Proudgm, you can save any pics to there, if it's in PB already then there is a link that says "copy to my album" and it will put it there. As far as other sites, I know there is a way to upload them to PB from your album, I think you would just put the web address in it, I've never done it before. Also as Tracy pointed out above: Vic, one thing I would like to add about setting up your own photobucket account is that you can create your own folders for it too. I have several different sub albums in my account for family pics, garden shots, then sub albums for each of my individual gardens, clematis, lilies, daylilies and then keep a separate album for all web art I find that I want to use again or edit/personalize. I like keeping them separated so if I do a search I can find what I'm looking for pretty quickly. It is a pretty neat site and they just recently expanded some of their editing tools so you can add comments and funny designs to the pictures too. I've started part 3 so we don't have to wear our mouses out scrolling the page : )...See MoreHow do you get what you want sometimes?
Comments (3)I'm sorry to say, but your BF is the issue here and will not change. You will always be in the shadow of the ex and the daugher will also give you hell from the sounds of it because of your BF and her mothers condition. The biomom or the daugher is not the problem. ITs your BF. He is doing this and doesn't look good. Personally from reading your post you are a strong person, logical, and accept what life is. REally look hard and ask what southersummer has asked. Where do you see yourself in 10years? will this change? will he change? I would not invest any more time in this relationship because the way your BF is. You cannot free your BF only he can do that for himself. And if you are in therapy please cut your losses. There is not need for drama in life. Life is hard as it is. You can control yourself but you cannot make another person see what you see or do what you do for any reason. Its sad but true. My hubby is selfdestructive at times and there is nothing i can do about it. I'm happy he is strong against his ex and puts his kids in their place but his selfesteem has really taken a hit and alot of times i get stress just dealing with his cr*p. Its a big decision. Stay, with alot of counciling, leave and start again with someoneelse. its your choice....See MoreWhy can't I find things to be pretty just because I do.
Comments (32)may_flowers and sprtphntc - I seldom buy either. I have been buying and looking at a few things lately. Both my mother and my MIL downsized this year and I got a few small pottery pieces from each of them. I wanted to display them but none of them really went together and so I was looking for other pieces to set them off so I was prowling consignment stores and antique stores. So much of it was pretty but not suitable, but when a piece "spoke" to me and I thought "yes, you will set off and add to my enjoyment of my great-grandmothers water pitcher", that's when I bought something. palimpset - exactly. I agree with you. I too prowl real estate listings (used to frighten my DH) but I don't want a new house. Appreciating things does not mean having to own them. mudhouse - oh I really like that imagery of "stocking the visual library in our minds". I'm going to use that line on my DH the next time a situation arises. Then watch him try to figure what I'm saying - he won't get it, poor guy. romy718 - Perhaps like your daughter, I just want to convey my joy in seeing something that I think is, for me, pretty. I don't expect the person that I'm with to agree with me because I do know that we all have different tastes and different definitions as to what is visually pleasing. I guess I just want them to see my joy in seeing something that I find to be pretty and I want to share that - not to buy but just to stop, take a minute and enjoy looking.. Oh, and to be clear that doesn't actually happen all that often. And kevinmark - you're right ,not every gorgeous accessory is meant to buy. I suspect that if one did that the joy of owning pretty things that one found joy in would somehow be diminished over time. For me anyway....See More- 5 years agolast modified: 5 years ago
