Have you ever built anything with Bamboo? I've made a shelf unit with it using long 1/4" threaded rod and 8 to 12 inch long Bamboo tubes as separators between the shelves. It looks great. The shelves are 1X4 foot pieces I bought at Home Despot. All you need is a hand drill and a 1/4" drill bit to drill the boards for the threaded rod to go through. some nuts and flat washers and you're ready to assemble the shelf. My son and his GF Shannon outdid me when they made a 10 foot long shelf unit using actual pre made shelf boards.
I've got a ton of Bamboo growing behind my house so that part of it at least, is free.

I do not drain my pots neither do I put pebbles on the bottom. Once in a while I remove soil because plants become bigger. They need space.

Need I go on, but I must stop for now....Please comment, TY.

GUYS, GUYS, GUYS...

I am on Dating web pages for very long, and always back when a relationship ends.
I think it is a good opportunity to express what we want and check if it really matches and not only look at the person and body and think, that's my man (or from the mans perspective : that is my girl)

I am too old to fall in love on the first sight and everything around a/the person do not matter.
I can see there is a lot of from the other side that matters. So on a web page you can already check
match or not. Like or not.

So please guys, this is a lesson for the first contact.

Please accept the age matches, call it restrictions, but accept the fact, that the person do not want to date someone 10 years younger or older what it is in the description written.
Read proper, before you contact, if you match this description.
If not, just leave it, do not write.

If you are interested in the person, and obviously there is a good chance that you get a good response please follow some rules, you already learned in your childhood from your mother.
Be gentle.
tell your name first.
Don't start with a
"hey great picture"
"age is nothing but a number"
"I like the country, where you are coming from"
"how are you"
"I like your profile, tell me more about you"
"here is my email/WA number, call me, text me"

NO NO, it doesn't work like this!

Introduce yourself nicely, tell your name.
Tell how you found the profile, why you are writing, because "we" have the same interests or what you read in the profile.
Of course the picture is important but nothing more boring is "I like your picture"
"you have a nice and warm smile"
" I like your dimples, very sweet"
"is that Paris, Bahamas, the Alps, x x x x x..." when you recognize something.
"Do you love travelling, as I love? I know the place, have been there already...."
"I can see you like bikes, skiing, swimming, what else hobbies do you have?"
" I like kayaking diving, beach volleyball, chess ,do you play chess"

But please stop asking stupid questions.
Be creative, don't be scared to ask nice and intelligent questions.
Study the profile, what does it tells you?
Ask and please, if we ask you something, then respond with a honest answer and start asking questions yourself.
How do you want her to get to know her better, if you did not ask?

I had contact with stupid copy and paste texts and I was wondering, how they found me and could write, as I could see, that they never checked my profile.
I was wondering, if I ask questions, where are you originally from, when the English was very bad, or when they told me, I am from Europe, Swiss, Bavaria and I started to talk in German.
This a a story for another blog, for the scammers on this side.

Herewith I want to help MEN, not to be too shy and do not ruin it, because of the wrong start.
Be patient, don't be scared, stay gentle and open.
It takes time to trust via Internet and there is no rush to change to email or WA.
If you know each other better, then it might be an opportunity to change, but for the beginning stay here.

When it comes to the first date, then I will tell you how to make it, but that is also another Story for another blog.
For the first contact, Good Luck, stay calm and smart.
Stay patient.
If she do not like you, no problem, the right one is waiting, start again.
Nothing to loose.

Bye for now.

There were 3 of us in a circle. My trivial argument was with Hank standing  opposite to me. Hank was shorter and weaker than me and I knew I could subdue him in a short time without ourselves and anyone else getting seriously injured. The third party present, and furiously encouraging Hank to kill me, was my old enemy D!ck. D!ck and myself hated each other for no valid reason since Genisis chap 1.
I swung at Hank and could see I hurt him with the punch. While all this was taking place D!ck was encouraging Hank to kill me in any way possible. So I took aim and punched Hank again and it was at this moment when D!ck placed a knife into Hanks hand and told him to kill me once and for all. Yes he stabbed me and before he could stab me again I pulled out my firearm and shot Hank between the eyes, I  then aimed at D!ck. D!ck was pleading with me not to shoot him as it wasn't him that had stabbed me but Hank

Am I justified to shoot the supplier of the weapon that nearly killed me?
If D!ck hadn't supplied the knife I would not have been wounded and Hank would still be alive.

Who is the main culprit to this tragedy?

Well if I had shot D!ck, I would've been tried for murder and be found guilty as the law states I can only use my weapon if my life is threatened, which I did. So what will happen to the main instigator?
Not much. Civil case yes, in which he will probably say Hank asked him for the knife. My word against his.
Is this fair
Or would you just shoot him and hope that the court will have mercy on you?

Being a born optimistic I can't agree that its that gloomy. But then I know its not brighter either.
Usually at the dawn, people loose faith and inclined to the darker side. May be I am an exception
Question is not of societal norms and beliefs, neither its about the atheism. And also it's not about the political or economical ideologies, be it socialism, communism, capitalism or cronyism. The basic thing is human nature. At the root humans in general, are selfish and greedy. The tendencies get inflated in an insecure environment.
It starts with socialism, then they try to control and in the process, things end in communism. End result is a totalitarian regime.
Likewise, it starts with capitalism generating a battalion of day dreamers and they make hay while the sun shines. The wealth wrests in a few hands. End result is the same.
Socially, atheism and belief system, swing like a pendulum.
I think Buddha has provided the solution "Madhya Marg (Mid Way)".

I've got approx an hour to wait and nothing to read. An hour is too short for some things and too long for others.

Ways of filling time?

(Other than blogging of course)(which can make the minutes pass even slower sometimes)

Blogging means a public meeting or interaction... so it's different from personal interaction.
But yes, your views/viewpoints can be expressed and that's all
Now I come to the point: My preferences, that is, why should I blog?
Not to impose my version but to incorporate the opposite views, if relevant, if irrelevant, then to ignore, but also to refute the rubbish.
I wish it to be a better world.

Some people want to control what you see. Strange isn't it ?
They don't want you to see newer blogs, especially if there's something that doesn't
jive with their archaic belief systems.

But, that's the way some people are.
So, a clique of people make sure they comment on the same old boring blogs
every day, so those blogs sort at the top.
So, rather than seeing fresh new blogs, you get the same sh*t on different days
day after day after day, ad nauseam
with the same people chit chatting.
Those "blogs" really belong in the forums.

I've seen multiple complaints about that from multiple people.
There's even a recent blog complaining about it.
It ends up chasing new people away from the blogs and the site,
which is a shame.

Well, there's a simple solution.

When you go to the blogs home page, simply go to the second option "Order By"
at the top and in the pulldown menu click on "Newest" to sort the blogs by newest blogs first,
which several bloggers have expressed, is the way, it should be.

Unfortunately, you have to do this each time you go to that page,
because the default setting is the last commented on.
That's why the control freaks comment, when they have nothing relevant to say.
But, it's worth the click to see the freshest new blogs.

Try the blogs less traveled, they can make all the difference.
Happy blogging

The joker had to agree to their demands. The government sent the official letter to the five member committee constituted by the SKM (a body of the farmers). The farmers are still apprehensive whether the government would implement the written submissions. So they have called off the agitation suspending the movement. They will take stock of the developments on 21st. of January and review the decision before taking the final call of ending the movement.
