probably why I love concerts so much.

THAT WAS COOL! SHE GOT IT! THE WHOLE THING! SHE UNDERSTOOD THE REV! SHE WASN'T SCARED TO SPEAK AT ME AT ALL!

RANDOM-GOOD!

To those of you are walking this path with me, you are not alone and you can talk to me about it... Let the pain and anger spur you on to doing something great.

Some just love spring because it gets warmer, but for those of the green-thumb assortment, working out in the yard is where it's at. It's a shame that so many people put so much time into gardening and landscaping and yet only random people driving down your block, some guests, and neighbors are usually the ones who get to see it. So I decided to dedicate a thread for photos . I personally don't have a whole lot up yet, they're either mostly still seeds or seedlings. I grow everything from seed pretty much, I hardly ever buy plants at stores and plant them. But this is the crop garden in back, only thing up really in these pics are the radishes, chives, and some onions:

I'm not huge on flowers, I tend to grow produce more than anything, but when we bought the house there was already a properly-bordered flower bed out front with a rose bush already in it. I always grow some flowers out front, I even did at my old condo, because it makes your neighbors happy, spruces up the front a bit, and they're still fun to watch grow even if they don't overtly have much of a function. Only real thing up right now are the bulb flowers though. All of the seed flowers are still either seeds or small little seedlings that you can't easily see in the pic.

And the following is my lonely raggedy-ass dragon tree that has seen too much abuse from my kittes and is happy to finally be outside where it's safe, ironically enough. Got it in a gift years ago, my friend gave me a "Goth gardening kit", and this was a seed in it. They're tropical and also where they get the incense Dragon's Blood from because the tree actually bleeds red (which also smells nice), it's nuts!

Not much yet, but I will definitely keep updating as more spouts. I'm hoping to get a berry plant of some kind, the popular vote in the house says they want a raspberry bush. Also in the market for a small flowering tree to put out front so those mother fucking kids from the neighborhood stop tearing up my lawn running around playing games on it all day. I might take more in a few days, because since these were taken I've had peas, potatoes, beets, lettuce, carrots, etc, come up.

Kay, your turn!

Gargoyles and Grotesques 

I love them, and have tons.   This is Silas.  He is solid concrete and is a little over 2 feet tall, and my first bigger outdoor sentry.  I ended up buying a dolly just for him because he is heavy and awkward to lift.  

What protects your home?   Post them if you got them. 

I likes this theory...I will adopt, & propagate it.

Hmm... I like this. I'm not an old bag, I'm in my prime. Nice.

Simply for the benefit of anyone who may not happen to be mathematically inclined, your prime years are:

2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31, 37, 41, 43, 47, 53, 59, 61, 67, 71, 73, 79, 83, 89, 97, 101

I'm currently between my primes right now.

Didn't we already used to have a thread, for this? I could have sworn it. I'd add some photos of this summer's beautiful tomatoes, as dark as our hearts - but all of my images exceed the maximum file size. 

and no im not posting this to single out all the dgn singles at city, im just curious......or am i(evil laugh)

This story made me really angry. So many kids and teens are bullied every day. I thought of myself as a kid. My mom sent me away to summer camp one summer. Coming from a family that didn't have a lot of money I didn't bring a lot of outfits to wear. I was also the kid who was insanely skinny with big thick glasses. I was was never a shy kid and I tried to make friends with the othr girls but I made few friends. I had this one shirt that I loved it was a collared shirt with red and white stripes. I didn't care how it looked on me. I liked because it reminded of a farmer. I pictured myself picking veggies everytime i wore it, someething i still like doing. One day in the art room i had the shirt onand the most popular girls were at the other end of the table giggling in my direction. I was so desperate for the friendship i actually started giggling too( I had no idea why they were giggling). Then one of them Rachie came up and said "you're shirt is ugly" I couldn't believe that. I loved that shirt. I replied "This is my favorite shirt" All of them started cracking up. "That ugly thing is your favorite shirt!" Rachie said. I felt felt so small at that point. That same summer they wrote on a picnic table in permanent marker that i was ugly and hated me. They also took my blanket and hid it in a hole somewhere. They were rarely punished.

I know I wrote a lot so if you skimmed through its okay. I have been bullied more beyond what I wrote. I would really like to hear some of your stories because i feel we as a people can come together and look out for kids and adults who aren't treated nicely. Sometimes it takes one voice to save someone.

Im Happy with my family. 🦊

Which reminded me of this:

And this:

This probably counts as well:

Also that scene from I think it was "Parker Lewis Can't Lose" where the antagonist had his own goth harem tent.  I only vaguely remember that and it's been 30 years.

So, what do people like to get out and do?

I was thinking if there was a 24 hour one or one open at least pretty late that would be nice.  Not much of a day person though.

Like just today.

@et-novum's cat edgar has a foot that keeps scabing. He's on medicine for it but he keeps licking it!

So we had to bandage it

This did not last long and he pulled it off PROMPTLY

and becuase he was so annoyed with this process he kept biting at the medical supplies! (So cute) 

So then Novum got the great idea to make a cone with a paper plate. 

And now Edgar won't talk to novum. He's my cat now. Chilling in my lap. 

But I feel like everyone has at least one wild diy vet story. 

Everything about this chicken, potato, mushroom, garlic soup is homemade down to the broth 🥰

Especially in the context of being in a relationship or god forbid, a marraige to one? I have a good bit of experience but mines more a "throwing spaghetti at the wall to see if it sticks" kinda know-how.

anyway, here are my gorgeous kids

Show me pictures of the animals that stare you down while you eat.

Your turn!
