  • Gardening Help?

    In an effort to eat a little fresher and healthier, I planted a small potted herb garden in my bathroom window. Everything seems to be doing pretty well there, except for my basil plant. It’s either got some kind of illness or bugs, I’m not sure which. Here are some photos of the leaves. They…

  • SoftPaws: For a Kitty-Cat Manicure

    Thanks to Janine’s post on the subject I was reminded of this odd-yet-intriguing product for your cat. I’ve seen SoftPaws floating around in various pet stores over the years and always wondered what kind of person would do that to their cats. I thought it was just another trend, like dressing your little dog in…

  • The Original Hipsters

    Your dad ate local fair trade produce before you did and he has dirt under his finger nails to prove it. Your dad had a green thumb and leather tanned neck. He worked in the garden and grew his own food, not because he had to, but because he wanted to. So hipsters, next time…

  • FUNemployment Update

    Sooo…. yeah…. I still don’t have a job yet. Not that I haven’t been trying. I’ve been to a job fair, had my resume reviewed and have been applying to a bunch of jobs I would like to do. No hits yet. I’m kinda bummed but otherwise doing OK. I posted a couple of weeks…
