I was just out looking for some smut this afternoon. Someone beat me to it. Your bounty will have to sustain me for now.

Cryptomorph has a couple very solid bangers.

I was waiting to be seated at a restaurant Friday when I overheard the same sentiment but then took a hard right turn....

"It never used to be like this" 'i know' "All the liberals stopped the logging in Canada and now look at them burn and here we are dealing with it."

Things are looking pretty vigorous in the garden still. I just harvested my garlic last weekend (~1500 heads). Better size than last year, but slightly more foliar disease; I may use netting next summer to keep pests off ...

To OP - I'm guessing you planted onion sets (baby bulbs). Onions are biennial - they flower on the second year. This happens often when using starter bulbs. The good news - Free seeds! you should wait until they mature and save the seeds. Next year grow from seed - they'll be bigger and won't bolt. Put like 25 to 50 seeds in a solo cup (or similar pot) next jan-February and grow them in a window until early spring. Soak them in water to break up the clump growing in your cup and plant them as individuals in your bed - add sulfur with your fertilizer to bed for pest control and better pungency. Protip: trim onion leaves 2-3 times through growing season about 8 inches tall to keep the weight off the stem and prevent early senescence ( triggered by bending of the stem) as well as triggering additional leaf production (ie more layers in yo onion)

Similar struggle. I told my folks (they live 2hrs away and I see them every 2 mo.) that they need to choose: a relationship with me or talking about politics. At first I gave a couple warnings, but after maybe 3 or 4 times. I reiterated, me or politics, and left without another word. Works with phone calls too. "Did you hear what Bide" click - I hang up.

Treat them like dogs - they're trainable. If you abruptly leave or hang up every time, eventually they'll get the hint. If not, they've made their choice and if it's not you, then you'll need to move on.

I didn't travel 2 hours to talk about someone I'll never meet. Let's talk about ourselves and what's new in our lives. What's going on in the garden, what's new in the office, whatever happened to what's-her-name you used to hang out with.

Like you I'm in a third category. For me cilantro isn't soapy, it's just wildly overpowering. If it's in a dish, it's the only thing I will taste that meal. It can be really low in a list of ingredients and still the only thing I taste. I want to like cilantro, but it's too abusive to the other flavors in and meal for my predisposition.

It's like someone took the perfect beverage {water} and decided to soak a used sock in it before attempting to hide this heinous blunder with a big squeeze of random flavorings.

I wish I didn't have to tell the expert artisanal sandwich craftsman how to make the sandwich step by step. "I'd like a number 5"

-What bread? "Whatever's in the picture for number 5"

-Toasted? "Whatever's in the picture for number 5"

-What meat? "Whatever's in the picture for number 5"

-What veggies? "Whatever's in the picture for number 5"

-What cheese? "Whatever's in the picture for number 5"

-What sauce? "Whatever's in the picture for number 5"

Why bother selling meals if each component requires a conversation. The fucking meal option should skip that bulshit unless initially ordered as such. 'I'd like a number 5 with everything different than advertised'

That's really good advice. Thank you!

That was my go-to long ago
