Blarghagh Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Happy birthdays Malc and Sarex. Here's something slightly bizarre from my day. Found out my inlaws' cat died yesterday morning. His name was Mork, named after the Robin Williams character. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woldan Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 (edited) Today I went in my garden and harvested some vegetables and fruits for supper. And I have tons more of these growing in my garden.

Sarex Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 How does it taste? Man what I wouldn't give for some naturally grown tomatoes, over the past few years they have gone to **** in my country.

I've had some success with growing tomatoes, but it's hard to find good green tomatoes. I can grow Jalapenos fairly well and am going to try my hand at habeneros. 1 "Akiva Goldsman and Alex Kurtzman run the 21st century version of MK ULTRA." - majestic "I'm gonna hunt you down so that I can slap you square in the mouth." - Bartimaeus "Without individual thinking you can't notice the plot holes." - InsaneCommander "Just feed off the suffering of gamers." - Malcador "You are calling my taste crap." -Hurlshort "thankfully it seems like the creators like Hungary less this time around." - Sarex "Don't forget the wakame, dumbass" -Keyrock "Are you trolling or just being inadvertently nonsensical?' -Pidesco "we have already been forced to admit you are at least human" - uuuhhii "I refuse to buy from non-woke businesses" - HoonDing "feral camels are now considered a pest" - Gorth "Melkathi is known to be an overly critical grumpy person" - Melkathi "Oddly enough Sanderson was a lot more direct despite being a Mormon" - Zoraptor "I found it greatly disturbing to scroll through my cartoon's halfing selection of genitalias." - Wormerine "Am I phrasing in the most negative light for them?

Woldan Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 (edited) How does it taste? Man what I wouldn't give for some naturally grown tomatoes, over the past few years they have gone to **** in my country. The difference between garden-grown fruits and the stuff you buy in the grocery store is shocking. My tomatoes have a ten times more intensive taste than those in stores, but they're only 1/2 their size. They must have been modified in way that they contain much more water so they appear bigger, mine are much smaller but ''denser'', they're harder and have more meat, also the the fruit skin on mine is much thicker. And there is the color difference, my tomatoes are more orange than red when ripe, those in the store are red like strawberries. And not to mention there is zero contamination from insecticides. I'm using an original breed by the way, they're not impotent (they grow usable seeds) and aren't modified in any way. @KP I'm currently growing habeneros but the still too cold climate here is tough on them, they grow reeeally slowly. I'm also trying to grow some water melons, but no success yet. They do grow but I never get them too grow fruits.

Labadal Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 I do agree that the vegetables you grow yourself and what you buy in grocery stores have a big difference in taste. I don't grow a lot of things, but there is no question that it tastes better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I don't think they would do well at all in the cold, luckily no trouble where I'm at. As to Watermelons, I usually buy them at farmers markets and get one that weighs quite a lot. Growing them would take more space than I can allocate.

Tale Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 I've been told that there's two kinds of bad jobs. The run of the mill job everyone hates where you realize you're replaceable is the first. And then there's the truly terrible one, the job where you realize you aren't replaceable at all. Where it feels like if you took a day off, the entire thing would collapse into a heap. My boss is currently on his fourth vacation of the year while being behind on payroll for the employees. Three of those were vacations to Italy for friends and family. This time, he flew someone from Italy to here so he could show them around. Head meet desk. I need a new job. 3 "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."

Gorth Posted August 15, 2014 Author Share Posted August 15, 2014 Staying in a hotel room at the moment. Removal guys have picked up all my stuff and filled a container with it, ready to ship it overseas. Cleaners will appear tomorrow and give the place a makeover and Monday I'm handing over the keys to the landlord. Wednesday I'll be on a plane to Europe Just sitting here. customising my new laptop and after 30 minutes I already hate Windows 8.1 passionately. I need to find some of those UI improvement tools, this is just bad. Very, very bad. 2 “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.

ShadySands Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 Back from Seattle and now I need to start looking for a second car since the weather will start turning soon.
