Howdy. 10 packs of fresh mixed variety seeds up for grabs, for baking purposes only y'hear. First 10 posters get em. Please post "pm'd" then shoot me one with your address. Bagels for the masses.

sally is an awesome mechanic and i would not hesitate to hire her services in a heartbeat, alas sal lives far far away. On a different tack, i'd wager that your local mechanic at the servo would take your approach to your dilemma as quite the conundrum. You should see my mechanic, looks like he raises amoeba for a job but when he gets angry the parts literally screw themselves into place. i hope you got the Datsun started. Save money buy a car that is reliable and be careful around mechanics they can be cagey and unyielding yet provide awesome tutelage in the ancient art of horseshit. As an adult trying to get a grip with modern cars would be like being a chef without any formal training - you'd just fuck shit up...................not a good look. If your car is a heap, catch transport do not fix it. If you want to short cut the mechanic........buy a new car(i know cost inhibitive) but i heard somewhere that chicks are giving bj's for shroom prints these days, so think deeply. If you invite a vine home, make sure you can get the car started to drop it off at the bustop the next day.

Phaemon'sDog - and all Clan Pat Uri - must agree that Pat Uri is the greatest lover of women in modern times...just ask him. On his behalf. we can quote him as saying that the most appreciated and suitable gift to any woman, of any age or acquaintance is:- "Large sums of cash"... ps - followed by shoes.

Buy and old one from a junk yard and take it apart. If you can get it back together, even better.

EvilGenius, I can see where the confusion came from. The tab to do the search is under "Import Conditions" which is clearly a phrase coined by a software database person, not a normal person. How to use the New System: 1) Click this link https://bicon.agriculture.gov.au/BiconWeb4.0/ImportConditions/Search/ Page looks like this: 2) Click "Scientific Name" tab: 3) Type in the Genus name that you're looking for and click "Filter": For example Trichocereus: 4) Check the box next to the genus name and click "Search": (you can just use this box to look for your species) 5) Look under the Tab, "Permitted Seeds for Sewing"and find your species:

do what i did. go buy a good manual and tourque wrench. a manual like "hanes" is great (though they only make manuals for high end "fast" vehicles), there are others too. I did this when i took to my new motorbike, still owing $6,000.00 on it. i thought, if i get it wrong, i can always go to a mechanic. now, i am a mechanic, and a farkin good one at that. i would now, NEVER take my bike to a mechanic! bite the bullet, feel the fear, and do it anyway! It is not hard to do. i promise you. think of it like this; it's like being scared of lego. once you get into it, you cant believe you were even scared. what is is, is fear of the unknown. best of fun with your adventure. in 6 months, you will be a pro (if your anything like me)

I don't know who god is but I'm pretty sure he hates me.

P'sDog here - got a copy of Lesser Key of Solomon hardback original pub. you can have for the postage - don't make any sense to me, anymore than why I got it in first place. Got a "black-hilted-knife" - really whacked! - made out of an old bloodstained M16 bayonet from Vietnam that's been carved over by 70's weirdoes - they engrave candles with it or some sh*t. Pack of Crowley's tarot cards and can even dig up an old copper hand sickle... Don't ask me why this dog would be left custodian of such properties - bloody pleased to pass them on to someone who wants them! Something to do with Secret Woman's Business that got gleaned from CQ opportunity shops to get out of public sight. Got copped with Masonic Lodge paraphernalia too - this is hardly appropriate! Why me? - don't know. Happy to get rid of them, really - do me a favour. Like I said - you can have them for the postage - other than that they can stay there! Regards, PhaemonsDog.

Shorty - you still here? - I must admire your tenacity! Your apparatus really depends on what you are refining. For a beginner's exercise I can recommend Corymbia citriodora - lemon scented gum - leaves. Stuff a 4L "paint" tin half full of leaves and young tips and cover with water leaving it about a quarter empty for head space. Take about 1 metre of 8mm - 10mm copper tube and bend it into an L shape with one limb 100mm long. Drill a hole in the lid of the tin and insert the short limb sealing it in place with silicone - inside and outside - so-called - mushroom seal - this will be a basic condenser. Seal the tin with the lid, "condenser" pointing away from the fire's radiant heat. Now build a little fire under the tin. As it boils collect the steam condensate that drips from the copper tube into a jar. Doesn't matter than the waters are steaming hot. You'll notice globs of yellow citronella oil floating on top of the jar's collected water. Steam distilled essential oil. If you want to get a bit more "high tech" you can wrap a wet bandage around the long limb condenser end out of a suspended bucket of water so capillary action keeps the bandage wet and the condenser cool. Watch out - steam is f*cking hot. Don't let it boil dry, but you will have to shut off the fire, allow to cool to open the lid and top up the water. Let the tin go dry and you'll rediscover destructive distillation. Always keep the tin with some water. To harvest your oil you can wait until it floats on top of the collection jar and draw it off with a piece of paper - oil sticks to the paper, but not the water; suck it off with a eye dropper; or put the jar in a deepfreeze until the water ices solid and the oil can be poured off. You can use a baster to suck off the lower water layer from collection and after a few recharges of the leaves the oil will be so thick a layer you can decant it off. "Eucalyptus" essential oils have such low vapour pressure and the trees are so rich a source it can really be that easy and primitive. I've seen the oil come off so thick you could use it as lamp oil but it is useful as a repellent for "scabies dreaming", that is, scrub itch mite. You can get even more "sophisticated" with a "thistle funnel" into the tin going near to the bottom to top up water without breaking the assembly for continuous production until the leaves are extracted. "Foaming" can be stopped by adding a few drops of "Infacol" a polysilicone antifoaming agent available from the pharmacist to stop babies farting. Using several small bore copper tubes - known as a heat exchanger bundled condenser - improves yield too. Camphor laurel is another easy one and its oil can be more interesting. Things like Damascus rose petal don't have much oil - but their watery distillate is fine as is, as "rose water". "Mint water", "lavender water", "orange flower water" and "orange peel water" are just as good fresh from the 'still - as their essential oils have high vapour pressure and potent without further concentration. It gets tricky when you go for essential oils that have low vapour pressure - then you start to need "steam superheaters" and "steam injectors" but I'll mention them later. You might wanna look at water jacketed condensers and other super efficient condensers before you go to those. There's a principle in engineering we call Carnot's Efficiency where the efficiency of a still depends on how hot the input is (steam) and how cold the output is (the waters) - but that'll come later. Others are trickier because they have properties that lock them into the water phase. Free base alkaloids will never steam distil from an acidic solution but come out in abundance from an alkali solution - then you WILL need antifoaming agents. Some free bases are heat sensitive like nicotine and need azeotropic steam distillation or like khat need functional group protection to come over - but start at simple basics for easy success until you have confidence to go for the great stuff. I thoroughly recommend you design off fire heating - it takes a lot of electrical energy to turn water into steam and you'll be needing loads. Plus cheap, flexible fuel fires gives you byproducts of ash, bio-charcoal, etc. and steam is quite safe around fires - electricity and water don't mix - well they do, but you don't wanna know about it. Notice you have some big forum members posting in to help you out - so you'll see far standing on the shoulders of such giants. Steam can even run venturi vacuum pumps...haven't I seen your face before?... Looking forward to more of your efforts! Phaemon'sDog with Scabies. (Postscript - Sorry there Mountain Goat - just reread the thread and made the mistake of thinking Shorty was OP. If I knew it was you I would have written something useful. p'sDog - what'can'i'say? when you are right 99.99% of the time you are wrong 00.01% of the time)

Ok so I've sent the seeds out - will not be making up any other packages as it's been an enormous effort and the giveaway has been closed for awhile now. However, some 55 SAB people are receiving seeds, and some 40 of those people are in Oz. They will also potentially be available through a couple other members of SAB - one of them is Zelly, who has a few of the crosses available as add-ons to orders of his seeds.. Down the road I may make provisions to have more of these seeds distributed through other members, but for now I'm just going to kick back

Alrighty everyone, the seeds are in the mail - woo! The seed code is as follows: 1. Lumberjackus x TPM 2. Psycho0 x TPM 3. Sharxx Blue x TPM 4. TPM x Sharxx Blue 5. TPM x Huarazensis 6. Lumberjackus x Sharxx Blue enjoy!

I would like to take you for a walk around my small garden. It has slowly build up over the years and will continue to grow into the distant future. I have started most of my plants from seed or small cutting, give or take a few trades and purchases Ss hybrid seeds i got from amozonion, plus a few randoms Except for the crest incognito gifted me the trichos. Native finger lime is flowering Lophophora Defenders of the veggie patch. Well sort of Blue corn from hillbilly Caapi Gold from doublebenno, staghorn,tasmanian mountain peppers m/f, Brazilian grape tree, tamarillo and some azaleas that will get the chop and trained as bonsai once their flowers drop Some future bonsai and a Adriatic fig Fruit trees Lemon/lime, blueberries, peaches, apricots and grapes Hamiltons crest? Got from bunnings years ago Sarracenia olive's pod giveaway seeds in takeaway nepenthes Grafted superkabuto Edit. Removed a double pic. Added some more txt to pics

I can relate. Vibes sending your way.

On the ropes is not on the mat mate <___base_url___>/uploads/emoticons/default_newimprovedwinkonclear.gif. I'll get some quiet time later this arvo and send out some bro

I could do with some vibes team. I've been doing it tough for a while, but holding on. The hits keep coming and I'm on the ropes. I keep saying this must be the nadir, and it has to get better now, but somehow life manages to find something else to take away from me. Thanks.

too late, lol. theres no way in hell i woulda cut that plant.....your third to the last pic says it all....hit the freshly cut areas with powdered sulfur & use a toothbrush to grind it in and brush off the other blackened areas, let dry for a few days & you'd be good to go cutting perfect;y good roots off makes no sense imho like cutting a dudes leg off just cuz he got a nasty infection......

Hard one... Not a Stetsonia, and I guess not an Echinocereus which have spiny buds.. I wouldn't say no to Trichocereus just yet.

Great idea for a contest EG! I will participate with my voting skills.

Thanks Happyconcacti, that´s what I was looking for.

Here are the updated lists (effective September 22nd for Trichs and October 30th for Echinopsis). It's not as easy to read as before: Echinopsis: Trichocereus:

What's your focus Gtarman ? Eth was on the money about the way new cars have evolved, you can still fix the mechanical problems yourself (most times) but the electronics are starting to get quite complex. Everything is tied into into computer management systems these days and you can't fix a lot of things yourself these days. If you want to fix things yourself you need a scan tool to re-code the replacement parts so the computers or individual management systems accept the changes. In the days of kettering or unmanaged ignition and the early days of EFI you could just change the parts you need and fix the problem, now you need to re-code or re-set things digitally before the repair will work - and that needs the appropriate scan tool. Once a car is out of the warranty period simple repairs can cost as much or more than the value of the car. I'm not trying to discourage you as it can be very rewarding to fix problems yourself and it's handy to know how. Mechanical issues are the same with any machine - when something fails you pull it apart, look for damage/wear, measure the parts to ensure they are within recommended tolerances and re- assemble things the way they should be. As Ghostly stated things need to be assembled correctly, a torque wrench helps and downloading the manual for the vehicle in question will answer most of your questions. One thing that can't be overstated is cleanliness, on anything that vibrates or moves a lot everything needs to be clean before it is assembled. If you bolt everything up to the correct torque and it has the slightest bit of dirt between the parts, after a bit of vibration the dirt works its way out and things get loose - which is never good for any machine. Mechanical principles are fairly simple, you'd probably learn more if you did volunteer work at an auto electrical workshop.

I dont think you´ll be able to save the root area. Personally, I´d make a clean cut and treat the cutting with fungicides. Sulfur or maybe something comparable. It´s possible you might have to use a systemic pesticide if it doesnt go away. I´d definitely cut off the water and keep it at a dry and warm place. Also, get yourself a magnifying glass and check for bugs. There are some infections that go hand in hand with spider mites and similar pests and by their sucking and biting, they get the ball rolling.

PD - You have a way with words that i envy. My better half would be honored to take possession of the gifts you mention and said that she feel like she would be short changing you just paying for postage. She also told me that the black hilted knife would be a powerful tool for her because of her fathers connection with Vietnam. Simhanada is welcome to any items as you have been more than generous PD Miss-Meander88 - Thank you for the list of authors and titles. No need to break any laws and photocopy anything. I have written them all down for you never know what you will find in the op shop book section or other travels. Thunderhorse - You rock as always Big ups sabers

years ago (somewhere near 2002) I saw a dude suddenly basically instigate sexual activity with a girl whose boyfriend was also present but tripping absolute balls and unable to express his feelings about the advances. Eight of us all sat in a circle wondering how the hell we deal with this sudden surprise development while all cresting on the rise of an old mate called getafix. Ouch!!!

They still earthcore? How do people get over the repugnance of the yobbos drinking beer? Or the total commercialisation of the event?

No worries. I am pretty sure I got my seeds from ebay by the way. Hopefully you will have better luck with new seeds

Yeah I agree with what others have said, find a good TCM practitioner. As soon as you said you were receiving treatment from a nurse this rung bells. There are likewise good and bad TCM practitioners it can take a number of tries or a number of sessions to get in sync. I've been overwhelmed by detox symptoms from acupuncture and become very sick make sure you are aware of this and let your acupuncturist know. I received treatment for scarring tissue in my back muscles and recovered from years of pain and inability to use my back in a few months. Good luck!

This wouldn't be the first time I've personally heard of such 'spiritual abuse'. Some are aware of what they are doing whilst others have been sucked in and manipulated to believing what they are doing is right by other forces. I agree that people naively flock towards this kind of abuse in an attempt for healing in a distorted and traumatised world, I do however feel this whole concept is a microcosm of a larger problem. To me the definition of the word shaman has changed with the changing of the times. While I don't know enough about indigenous cultures and what still remains to comment, my experience has been the framework that existed for genuine healing to occur has been all but destroyed. I was taught and feel it's important to recognise with the right intent we can create our own framework by going inwards and with the help of true forces create something entirely new to this realm. Our society has created such a reliance on itself that people have forgotten this very notion. Following what I have been taught again, is that through a process that has only recently become available, being a shaman can mean becoming more deeply imbedded in the problems we face as a collective and making amends to the so many wrongs we have faced. So there is a focus on a global and even multi-dimensional.

No worries - bung us an address and I can send it "Collection of Cash on Delivery fee and postage costs and payment for the item by receiver" without the payment for item bit, just postage. Or any other delivery option you prefer - e.g. flying broomstick. Just have to double check the "black-hilted-knife" and copper sickle ain't classed as "dangerous goods" and need special packaging, like holy water or something. Cheers, PhaemonsDog.

Oo thanks mysubtleascention *sits quietly, eagerly awaiting*

Thes best of us plod along thunderhorse (hehe no pun intended) I did try to make a cube once for a custom order in a vial...it sorta looked realistic but alas i just always end up with a bit of that comical look Yay thanks deadstar happy to be here! It was well worth the 5 week wait!

pm'ed

PhaemonsDog again - should mention that groups like Santo Daime are devoted to moral practises. So the good guys are out there. The Original American Native People didn't even have a word for "sin" until the Christian missionaries introduced the concept - you can't have "redemption" without a sense of "sin" it seems. For them things like torturing an enemy, "headhunting" etc. was quite honourable. So a lot of their original Gods seemed to be into a lot of "ungodly" habits and had all the vices of humans too. Even the Creator Father would occasionally make deformed babies when he was on the piss - so deformed people were especially sacred. Seems that the Perfect get it wrong occasionally too and the Great Father must be a little partial to wine. Still is according to the Catholics. Having Gods that understood sin is probably why those old religions never vanished. You can hardly go to your Catholic Priest for advice after getting your girlfriend pregnant...that is when you consult the Obeah of your ancestors. Religion is too heavy a trip - I'll stick to the simpler ones of Nature for me. Regards. P'sDog.

I believe their immune systems may be what is keeping things like that at bay and I'm pretty sure I have read that the mushroom keeps it's self sterile somewhere.. wish I could link you to that info I don't remember where I got it. i think if the surrounding area is clean and kept well it may be less of an issue but it's a good point. maybe someone else can chime in with the precision specifics for you? and good luck either way mate.

found me fave separable gelatinous pellicle today (the one that i first learned on)

Madeira with glyphos https://www.moretonbay.qld.gov.au/uploadedFiles/moretonbay/environment/vegetation/madeira-vine-using-glyphosate.pdf It suggests additives as per tarenna but says a wetting agent will do. Apparently detergent is inappropriate bur I suggest you do a small test with detergent to avoid buying a whole bottle of xyz. Failing that I can supply some xyz if you still live around hyar.

There are several techniques of applying glyphosate that are effective, depending on nature of infestation - but persistence in invariably required. Madeira is an absolute rainforest/mesic ecosystem cancer. If stems are small (several mm wide) then cutting and bundling lots together and (really rapidly!!) putting them into a small jar/container of 100% glyph (360) is effective at getting uptake and transfer. On warm days you can get significant volume into the stems and might even need to refill the jar.... Larger stems can be scraped (not cut!) around to a length of 10-30cm and painted with 100% glyph (but you need to do it "spiralling" around the stem - not a single scrape but many to get maximum kill). The more volume you can get in the better to kill stems, foliage and aerial tubers. Because of waxy cuticle foliar spraying requires a penetrant such as Pulse to get herbicide into the system... Hope this helps - good luck!!

hmm so they do actually exist then ...

erm...

brr cold out now , slight frost too , so much for pointies being the most common eh? must be their final week somewhere around ..... wherever that is? in the meantime...

No seriously, I laughed, I cried, for a moment I thought my head was actually going to explode...Beautiful, eloquent, pure fucking gold!!!

Hey man, there's no kind of shitty feels that don't deserve a whole bunch'a good vibes. Sending much aroha your way bud, lively shiny golden sunshine rays, silliness in the spring, them kinda vibes. May your knowing of them brighten your times.
