I never really got the satisfaction from vaping that I did from smoking. Sure glad I quit, though. I remember more than one time I thought that I had "blew a lung" from smoking too much. Vaping weed? yea, that is really a thing now. I tried it once last summer and.....wow... it is very different than smoking it. And then there's the "edibles" that you can buy in the weed stores in Colorado.....chocolate bars or candies or drinks infused with THC......that can be a five hour adventure! I've had vaping gear of one type or another in my hands for 9 years now...and no plans to give it up. I've brought my nicotine levels down to the 3mg/ml though, so I'm happy with that. Never really got into the THC or MJ scene (cop's daughter, that programming runs deep), although I have no issues with those who wish to partake (OK, not THAT deep ). I figure substances that alter reality shouldn't be forbidden, but a choice of the individual as long as they do no harm to others while on their trip. 11 hours ago, vega57 said: *rolls up sleeves* LOL!

I have never heard of the Party for the Animals. Ending ritual slaughter (mandating the stunning of all animals), buying cows' freedoms and ending pig tail docking are just three items on their agenda. And their agenda is much broader than domestic animal protection. I think it is a great idea - after all, the animals can't represent themselves so somebody needs to step up for them. I can't really see that movement taking hold in the USA because of the limitations or our two-party political system. In fact, it would likely be laughed off the ballot in Wyoming. 8 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

There's quite a bit of 'laughing off' going on here as well. But as the party keeps on getting more and more votes, it gets less so. 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yep, I live in Idaho Falls. @miacor5 Welcome!! @chandrakirti I recently watched some of Gary Yourofsky's presentations. I agree with much of what he advocates for, but I also don't condone his violent approach. I appreciate his statement about humans, which are the only species if were completely wiped out of existence, the earth would benefit and flourish. Pretty much anything else, such as sea life or bees, the loss would be devastating to our planet. @Thea2 Party for the Animals seems to be right up my ally! @Muledeer It would be laughed off the ballot here in Idaho as well.

Autumn Sunrise Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 Welcome, @miacor5 I'm sure you've realised by now that we're a pretty mad lot, but it's a nice madness Hope you have fun here! We've gone from heatwave to (almost) winter here. Thankfully we didn't get the catastrophic rainfalls that some areas had, but we've had enough to wet the gardens nicely and fill up the dam and water tanks. All our harvests seem to be coming at once, so we've been making lots of pasta sauce, with all the tomatoes that our four plants (plus a couple of volunteers) and three eggplants, produced. I planted fewer tomato plants this year, hoping for a more manageable harvest, but they've been extremely giving! It's a good thing we like pasta dinners, because I think we'll be eating a lot of them this winter. We had a massive plum harvest. . . I think we've enough home-made plum jam to last us for several years (have to do lots of sharing and swapping!) We also had scores of "Golden Queen" peaches, so I've been busy cooking and freezing them for winter puddings Plenty of apples still coming on as well! Who's idea was it to plant all those fruit trees?? Whoops, I think it was mine As a former townie, I had no idea how much one small tree could (and would) produce. Ah well, whatever else happens, we won't starve! *cats* and I are going into the city tomorrow, to take part in a huge (hopefully!) Climate March. Lots of farmers coming in from all over the state, and apparently many of them are floating horses in for the march, so it should be spectacular. Now we just need to make sure we behave ourselves and don't get arrested 10 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BobRossRules Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 After breakfast, I saw my dogs devouring one of my pepper plants with several peppers on them. I discovered they also ate most of the peppers of the other plant too. So far, they've been leaving them alone and they didn't seem interested. I guess I need to work at keeping them out, maybe putting a dog gate in. I did some training to detour them after the incident. I suppose as the peppers ripened, it smelled pretty good? Anyway, here are some pictures of my indoor garden (what's left anyway). Spoiler This was the guilty party, look how proud she is Spoiler 12 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
