Indigo dye is a greenish dark blue color, obtained from either the leaves of the tropical Indigo plant (Indigofera), or from woad (Isatis tinctoria), or the Chinese indigo (Persicaria tinctoria). Many societies make use of the Indigofera plant for producing different shades of blue. She was so...

I´ve travelled through fifteen countries and I´ve never seen anyone with black or white skin, not even in Africa. Everyone seems to be a shade of brown, from pink to deepest mahogany. Frankly I could do without this Black and White ****. Other opinions exist, and you´re welcome to them.

The desire to "quieten the mind" is obviously not new, and one method is thousands of years old, and still relevant. Alternate nostril breathing is a form of yoga designed to decrease stress, and well worth making use of. I think it is valuable to learn the connection between our moods and...

I´d pot them up. I grow my autos in cheap blue plastic buckets, but now you´ve made me think about it, terracotta pots would look so much better, and work better too. Tomorrow we will be testing these, and two other autos. I´ll have a fox´s breakfast, a friend from up the mountain will come...

I ran a grow room in my cellar, and fed the heat into the chimney stack, since heat detected by an infra-red camera on a passing helicopter is plausible coming from a chimney - less so from attic windows, which could speak eloquently of your activities. If your attic gives you access to the...

No , It´s OK, I sneeze all the time ...

"What? Really? Is that normal?" Not at all, but it´s a funny season. It was an odd seed left over from last year´s crop. I have another six footer which is beginning to flower around 10 weeks-- surely a bit big for an auto.

They look really healthy, very compact with a nice colour. I´m a big fan of spring water too. I have a plant as tall as me and still can´t be certain what *** it is, though I have my suspicions ... In a few weeks you will be able to take clones to keep the ball rolling, and hedge your bets in...

Thank you -- I should confess that Nature made the beautiful chestnut log, I just removed everything that wasn´t a spoon.

I´m all set up. Done lots of reading. Watched loads of instructional videos. Spent a few hundred €uros on tools and equipment and put in hours of practise. Greed is good, I´m ready to clean up the market. In a mere five hours I can carve a spoon worth about two €uros. At my old blacksmith´s...

After trying a few vaporisers I settled on the Vapium Summit. Sturdy and reliable, it has a cleaning kit and spare parts, and will give several vapes per charging. It has been superseded by a flashier model which I´m told isn´t as good. ´Twas ever thus.

So, they send up large balloons, each with a piece of electronic equipment dangling beneath. They have no apparent means of propulsion or guidance. It gets rather windy at seventy thousand feet. Seventy-one percent of the balloons will end up monitoring the oceans. A very amusing, if portentous...

For something to be funny, you need to paint a picture in the reader´s mind. I think you nailed it there ... Though my feeling is, that the soil determines what grows there - if metaphors are considered useful. Fortunately, **** Sapiens are weeds.

I love these, prepare to leave Earth orbit !

"Yeah, crowded rats become cannibalistic." Couldn´t agree more. Crowded humans predate on each other. Meanwhile up on the mountain ... My friend´s trailer home burnt down one day. He lost everything except his friends. People on the mountain rallied round, crowd funded for a new caravan, and...

Beethoven wrote three symphonies, the Eroica, the Pastoral, and the Ninth.

"How do we change those actions ," asks Tattered Old Graywolf. I know nothing about the USA, but I do know about a survey done in Holland regarding the ideal size of conurbations. Below a certain size of town , that cyclist you are just overtaking is likely the son, daughter, wife, grandmother...

Must remember to take my shoes off before I play my ukulele ... No. -- Don´t watch this. You could do without falling helplessly in love at your age.

Took my brother to the shrink yesterday. "He thinks he´s a hen." "Oh dear, how long has this been going on ?" "Maybe ten years or so." "And you left it ´til now ??" "Well, we needed the eggs."

Another old fogey here, your post reminded me of my last few years in England, when I was frequently very low. What worked for me, was joining a charity and going at it full tilt. I trained as a Samaritan, a help-line for the suicidal, and spent three of the best years of my life feeling that I...
