Years ago, we had a big garden with snapdragons, and those big fat bumble bees would root deep inside the blossoms, with their big butts hanging out. My cat would go up and put her nose right on their butts to get a good whiff! Never got stung. The bees didn’t even really mind, it seemed.
I like the idea of painting it, but to doesn’t have to be circus colors.
The word snake handling cults all know the real demonic language because they do all that speaking in tongues stuff. That doesn’t sound “heavenly” to me.


The “Donroe Doctrine.” So fucking stupid.


Pretty soon they won’t need cars. They’re building so many bullet trains, that you can take practically one from your front door to the grocery store.
They’re eating our lunch, and our leaders are totally clueless, and wouldn’t even care if they knew.
Sure is. Humans have been trying to control it throughout history, to no avail. The cats are just so much smarter than us.
I’ve read this over several times, and have come to the conclusion that you are either having a stroke, or a dog wrote this.
You okay?
What’s your dog up to?
Our World in Data conducts pretty rigorous research. I’ve looked up their studies before, and they’re pretty impressive. They know what they’re doing.
Call me when he couldn’t tell the difference between the cat and a new dog.
It helps that neither has any white.
Could be a Black & White.
You don’t know know the whole story, and you don’t know Torties. Humans are not consulted in these matters. I’ve lived with five Torties, and never paid for, or even asked for, a single one. There’s a third Tortie in their future, trust me.
Yeah, they’re addicting.
We love Torties. Chloe is our last one, an old lady at 18. They’re special.
Bermuda grass? Then we’ll be needing Dandelions and crabgrass.
I get it, it was planted to be ornamental, but that’s not what I’m talking about.
A couple of years ago, I was travelling through the South somewhere, and went past a stretch of kudzu that was at least a half mile long, and covered EVERYTHING. I pulled over into a space that was almost a parking lot. Clearly I wasnt the first to stop to check this out.
It was so thick, you could not tell what was under it. It stretched as back into the woods as far as I could see. I took a bunch of pictures, but they were underwhelming. There was a lot of green, but they just didn’t show how overwhelming it was. I couldn’t find the pix anyway. And while that was the biggest Kudzu infestation I’ve seen, I’ve witnessed plenty of other impressive ones as well. Although I do have to say, I’m seeing less lately. Anti-Kudzu campaigns seem to be having an effect.
So yeah, I understand that it was planted by the road where I could see it, but that still doesn’t describe the sheer immensity of the coverage. That isn’t just an invasive plant becoming ubiquitous, it truly gives a new meaning to the word “invasive.”
I’m a plant guy, I love building gardens and stuff, so I know what I’m looking at, and I’ve never seen anything else in my travels that comes close to rivaling Kudzu.
“No it won’t! Everything is better than ever! All that environmental disaster all around you is a Liberal/ Democrat/ Progressive/ Socialist/ Communist/ Ukranian/ European hoax! YOU’RE ALL OUT TO GET ME! I HAVE GUNS!” - That Capitalist
You say that, but I’ve seen some amazing kudzu patches, and I’ve never seen or heard of anything else even close.
I was very deliberate about it. The first time I tried it, I was shocked at how such a small amount could have such a profound effect, and immediately understood that this was a drug to be respected.
I did it maybe 5 times, and the last time was possibly the most enjoyable night of my life, it was a true all night adventure. I stepped into my house as the sun was rising and my trip was down to about 10%, and I remember thinking that it was the best night of my life, and I should NEVER drop acid again. And I haven’t.
When I was driving my son around looking at colleges, I disclosed my drug use to him, and told him about acid, and told him that if someone he trusted had it from someone trustworthy (hmm), and the situation is right, he should definitely do it. That was about 10 years ago, and he still hasn’t done it, but hasn’t ruled it out, last we discussed it.
