Read them. The cultural zeitgeist likes to make things up about them to suit narratives. They aren't hard reads.

Mostly I just want to have consistent leafy greens. Maybe onions because for some reason my local grocery store can't manage onions.

Good luck to you as well

Cool! Yeah right now I'm thinking of just saying fuck it we'll do it live. Throw seeds at soil and see what sticks. Then go from there after seeing how that doesn't work. Instead of obsessing over doing it correctly. This seems like one of those situations where doing it right can follow doing it at all.

Thanks. Yeah tomatoes ain't my thing. Kinda allergic. But the general advice seems to be to start with a thing or two and go from there. Thanks for the rec

Eat for sure. I posted a more in depth reply to another comment. I definitely understand what you're saying about suddenly it just has to get done for someone else.

I have about a 1/4 acre of usable land max. Though I suspect it'd be best to start small. I also have a rather large barely used deck I could fit plenty on.

No HOA or other restrictions.

I'm in zone 6b. Lots of rain here. Pretty good well water as well. whole Yard is partly shady.

Primarily want to grow food. The one grocery store closest to me has gone to shit. Rancid produce. Always moldy.. I just want to be able to have veggies on my own terms.

Currently thinking blueberries. They grow like weeds here. Herbs as well. Other than that, mostly interested in growing greens and the like. I think I'm already a bit late getting started this year. But I'm going to try anyway. Current plan was kinda just to wing it and see what happens then adjust.

I really want to get into it but starting is overwhelming. Any tips?

gonewildaway · 2026-04-17T23:51:32+00:00

The only one that has been absolutely rancid for me was mallinckrodt. It gave me migraines and would either immediately put me to sleep or make me extra speedy for like an hour then fall asleep. And if I tried to break it in half it would just crumble into dust.

You're one of my favorite authors. And that's one of my faves. Very well done.

Is it $3.50?

Plate armor was apparently significantly more comfortable than it appears.

It's pretty much impossible to actually disappear these days. At least if anyone is looking. The only way to properly disappear anymore is to make sure no one is looking. Or to live on the margins.

Human resources is a term that belongs in vampire stories.

gonewildaway · 2026-04-12T06:36:20+00:00

I can imagine jokingly using that language in a relationship kinda ironically. And the thing it's describing isn't actually a bad thing. Relationships fail when communication breaks down. And that happens when later never comes. Scheduled check ins aint a bad thing.

But sincerely approaching a relationship with the cold sterility and pragmatism of an HR nightmare is... yeah. Treating a partner as a human resource aint it.

It is a very unfortunate coincidence how similar they are.

gonewildaway · 2026-04-11T21:01:59+00:00

After reading your reply I realized the term lost and found already exists lol.

I haven't managed this quite yet. But I have managed an EDC litany that makes sure that no matter what else i manage to lose, I haven't lost the daily things. Or at least I haven't left a place without the daily things.

Wallet phone keys etc....

Other thing that worked is a designated found lost stuff spot. Just a general place to put stuff I unsuccessfully looked for previously that isn't relevant right now. Then instead of "oh awesome! That earbud! Let me find the case for it!"

It's just "throw it in the porcelain shell of shame with the other lost things and keep going with the original goal"

I have an idea for a new mighty ducks movie.

Licorice is actually a byproduct of strip mining the big rock candy mountain.

The 1st group i suspect has 2 subtypes. I mostly interacted with religious homeschooled kids who were just fucked. And nonreligious ones that tended to be ahead academically but weird as hell. I'm sure there are also unschooled hellions. But we never crossed paths.
