*sigh* yes.. Going to be Steiner teachers. But mostly state trained already. I think they were thinking metaphorically more than literally.

Your link seemed to be broken for me, this works but looks just the same: http://www.bbc.com/future/story/20130207-can-animals-imagine Cool article! Thanks. I liked it a lot, especially the chimp making a nest for baby log. Dreaming dogs are interesting too. When they are running while lying down. I wonder why it is that their brains not shut off their movement capabilities? I think my cat dreams, I reckon she has nightmares sometimes. Micoz....you dared ! I recently watched a "doco" called 'Monkey Blood - Human Origins' which claimed much the same thing. I don't know what I think yet, and weather I trust their information as reliable, but they mentioned something rather interesting, which is that roughly 85% of the human population carries a gene derived from the Rhesus monkey, this is known as Rh+, and 15% of the population does not possess this gene, and are known as Rh-. There are differences between these two types, and reproductive incompatibility. If a Rh- woman falls pregnant to an Rh+ man, her body will rejects attack and kills the featus. Studies to assess differences found that Rh- people commonly have a higher than average IQ, sensitive vision, a lower than average body temperate, increased sensitivity to heat and sunlight and psychic abilities, as well as commonly reporting a feeling of not belonging to the human race and not coming from earth. They can't receive blood transfusions from Rh+ and some even have an extra vertebrae or an extra rib. Since Rh- blood hasn't followed the usual evolutionary path, it must have been introduced from a foreign source. ...and the designated source in this statement was of course aliens.. Backed up by mention of the arrivals of 'gods from the sky' in ancient texts by the Egyptians, Phoenicians, Chaldeans, Mayans, Azteks, Ayrians, Assyrians and the inhabitants of ancient Indian Tibet.

I have to clarify, these were all adults. Teachers.

Naw thank you so much.. I owe ya one. Or more like three.. Have been wanting to grow calea since 2010. You're a star

Damnit bullit, I want these too. Is that bad? It's not my fault you are giving away all the awesome seeds right now. Can I pleease has some if you haven't posted my envelope? If you have I will leave them tho. Ace brother. You're doing some good work.

Hah, these weren't my bogettes eth, other ones doing like me with their own brand of originality.. But they made my blood boil claiming we are a higher species, without any real back up. I'm glad to hear you say we are animals.. Of some sort. What would you say are our ancestors then? Warriors from where? Did they look like we do now?

Soo cute. Best kikko.

Yay thank you so very much dude <3

Me too? This was the one in my crazy dream i told ya about bullit

Well mutant may call this a cop out, but i believe i feel the effects of progressive astrology quite strongly. Especially now that i have taken time to become familiar with each planet/signs preposed attributes. Selfconditioning maybe, but why does it seem so bang on to what i am and have been experiencing? Call me a kook or whatever, frankly i just dont care what people think, if astrology helps me make sense of things, i use it, if it doesnt, i disregard it. I also use runes, tarot and the iching, and have found each tool has its place, pros and cons, but none can be relied on too heavily. They can point the way but you have to take the action required.

Farmers markets beat supermarkets for price and quality of produce any day. Making your own bread is easy, fun and quite cheap.. and you get to fill it with your choice of seeds and herbs. I knw this will be the third mention i have made of stinging nettle in this thread..but you can put dried nettle into bread too for a greater nutrient profile and it doesnt affect the taste or appearance. Nuts are also handy to save $... keep available to nibble on to avoid default bingeing on crappy quick food when your blood sugar levels drop and your brain stops working cz you need a decent meal. Nuts will tide you over. And hot water bottles have been my saving grace while growing up poor in cold houses. Cuddles are always preferable, cz who needs money when you have a snuggle-bunny, but sometimes a hottie will have to do. Good luck to all my fellow penny pinching peasants...our wallets may be thin but our minds are keen, and if our deeds are clever our hearts can stay warm and our bellies full!

Hehe i can already see myself dressed in rags, huddling over a cauldron of radish and stinging nettle soup.. Such is life. They really are prolific producers tho, and something i had forgotten about, ta. I will track down some seed. I wish at times like these i lived in a warm climate.. i wana grow my own corn, pumpkin and watermelons. Attempts at these here have had miserable results.

Dcliw you are too tired to move, but have really cold feet. So your kitty comes and sits right on your feet, warming them up nicely.

^ Hah, me too. Excellent. Thanks Interbeing!

And so it begins aye...full body armour? I would say enlist as much help as you can. You don't wanna fuck your back even further. Cajole friends into helping you with promise of inebriants. When I did my big move it was down lots of stairs too. My only advice is to take it easy and not rush. A fall down some stairs with a Peruvian could be the end of you. I found for the metre plus specimens, it was easiest to carry them by holding the rim of the pot, and have the plant leaning forward on an angle out infront of you. Or ones that were too heavy to do that, I would hold the pot with both arms between belly button and chest height and have the majority of the plant above my head height. It just seemed easier that way, as your centre of balance gets whacked out if you try carry them any lower. But as I said earlier, please, pleease just take it slow. I didn't have any accidents but came very close cause I was trying to show off how strong I was, wanting to convey to my male friends that just cause I'm a girl, that doesn't mean I can't handle my own cactus collection. Take it easy and for moving things about, keeping them in pots is easier to handle than bare rooting them where they stand. Lying down in the vehicle is a good idea for those that are too tall, and placing towels or blankets in between will stop a bit of damage due to the bumps in the road. Oh and drive slow and careful. Good luck mate. Edit: oh, just remembered another goodie. For moving really large specimens, that you can't bear to cut, or simply really spikey buggers that you fear, enlist a helper, as you will need two people, take two pairs of jeans and place them underneath either end of the plant, crotch in the middle and the leg parts on either side. Then you can use the legs of the jeans to hold onto and walk slowly to where you need to go. The denim will take a lot of weight, so works well and minimises danger.

What are some vege crops that give the maximum output of food in the shortest period of time? I have silver beet, spinach, kale, miners lettuce and lettuce on the go. But progress is slow. I am thinking a huuuuuge patch of spuds should be my next step. And might try growing kumara (sweet potato) too, as I have seen them succeed in my climate, and the young leaves are edible. But what else. What can I grow to feed my hungry tummy when the money runs dry...?

^ Eek! Dchiw you are being tested, really tested over a loong period of time, and you want to retain your patience and good will towards those who are testing you, but they just keep pushing it further and further. And each time you stretch yourself to accomodate the testing, telling yourself it is worth it, and you just have to suck it up and keep going. But then one day, you realise that others are quite literally taking advantage of your willingness to stretch and accommodate, and you realise if you had used the last six months doing something else, you would actually be very well off rather than in a shit load of debt. Working life sucks. It's hard to be a grown up. Edit: oh well. What it really comes down to is dchiw you realise people will use you and abuse your good nature, smile to your face while they stab you in the back...eventually you realise they are only smiling because they think you are a fool and can't believe their luck in luring you in. Well fuck them. I'm no fool. Being a nice person is a disposition of behaviour that can lead you into traps. My ranting rant ends with a don't cha love it when you realise you don't have to take people's shit anymore and you deserve better, and will make bloody sure you get better, one way or the other.

Woah!! What hasty little sprites Thats awesome to hear Glaukus, and you are most welcome.

Hi, so I think I have sent out the seeds to all but one of you. Establishing who this last person is may take me a couple days. But otherwise, if anyone hasn't received their seeds within a week please shoot me a pm. There are more pods ripening so if there's more interest I'd happily send another batch out when they are done. Trades preferred from here on in, as the postage is quite costly when your on a low income, so its nice to have things to put back into the garden for the long run. So just to clarify, the seeds I have access to and have sent out come from a yellow bloomed sanguinea. According to Zed240 the cold climate Brugs are not self fertile, which means.. There's a 97% likelihood that they have been pollinated with the red bloomed sanguinea, as this is the only other brugmansia I have seen growing locally. Which is very cool, as far as I'm concerned!

Solomon! What you doing? How you doing? Please update regarding your progress in the foreign land... And pics! Plant pics pleease. I miss you and hope you are having the best time

^ Witchy supply stores usually have frankincense and myrrh resin. I dunno what suppliers are in your area but most places will have an online retailer or two selling dried herbs and insence. Frankincense and myhrr are surprisingly cheap. There are others worth looking into too, I'll have a look in my books when I return home.

Nifty wee contraption you have there. Rosemary. Frankincense - yeah, good anxiety relief. Clary sage is another one which can promote sleep, although be careful when using it as if you use too much the effect is reversed and instead of dreamy relaxation you will find yourself over stimulated and busy in the mind. Lavender and chamomile are also calmative, but as with the clary sage, use sparingly as the effect is quite often altered by the amount used.

Well we do all recognise that these cacti are often purveyors of highly important information... So I can see why an agent (of the Cosmic Intelligence Agency ) would commit such time towards extracting it. There are surely simpler methods of obtaining it tho ;)

Buried alive, decapitated, conjoined to a foreign living organism and still goin strong. That ones a warrior. Edit: maybe you could call it Rasputin
