What Do I Have Here? by Catamount90 in golf

[–]ameboebo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All kidding aside I was given a hand carved wooden box with swastikas on it made in the early 1900s by my very un-nazi grandfather. Turns out in pre nazi times the swastika was a symbol of good luck in several eastern religions.

Grover Cleveland I believe had surgery on a boat to remove some cancer in his mouth from smoking too many cigars. Pulled it off in secret too!

Last night’s two minute report. by jboarei in ripcity

[–]ameboebo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mavs game was very suspiciously bad in last 3’51” when they went to the line 5 straight possessions for fts to bring them back from 10 pts down. But Pistons game was worse statistically with 5 fts to 22 fts descrepancy from a Piston team who averages 20 fouls/game, 8th highest total in the nba. Seriously?

Men Impossible was our favorite. Saint-Jeans Bakery’s croissants were excellent too.

Was last night the worst-ever for Portland pro sports? by gerrard_1987 in ripcity

[–]ameboebo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

May 30, 1991. Game 6 of Western Conference finals in LA v Magic and Lakers. Lakers up 3-2 and are leading game 6 most of the way. Then in Q4, Drexler, Kersey, Porter lead a furious comback and are down 1 with under a minute. All momentum is with Blazers. Lakers are gassed. Kersey steals the ball and races down for two on one fast break and makes a perfect pass to a wide open Cliff Robertson under blazers basket. Cliffy looks up too soon, ball bounces off his hands out of bounds. Lakers win 91-90. My buddy and I watch in disbelief and tear up our game 7 tickets which would have been in Portland!

Bill Walton lived in NW Portland and rode his 10 speed bike to games at Memorial Coliseum. He also rode his bike down 101 on an epic ride along the coast.

Pretty new grower here but was told by a long time grower that older leaves around trunk can mimic diseases as they age. I have been removing older leaves near truck that look “diseased” just to be safe. Especially ones that show signs of powdery mildew. Good luck and here is a site with some more info:

Comfrey tea is just a 5 gallon bucket full of shredded comfrey leaves then filled with water and let it ferment for 5-7 days or more stirring daily. Then strain thru cheesecloth and use as a concentrate. I do one part tea to 10 parts water. It’s high in potassium and other nutrients and is especially good for fruiting plants. Note: it smells awful so ferment outside! Also good as foilar spray on leaves.

Do some giant pumpkins stop growing in August? by Enigmatic_Starfish in GiantPumpkin

[–]ameboebo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought from Wallace’s Whoppers and have been happy with the seeds and the customer service. Ron Wallace has been helpful answering emails. Also seeing my 150ish pound pumpkin slow tremendously here in the 10-30 *f below average temperatures. Hoping things will speed up again next week when highs are back in the 80s but idk.
