I WILL N- *falls* …..ow.
You should always be careful, even when falling.
Especially on even surfaces.
they are the trippy ones
or strinking to the border
Oooh…wonder if there are any sharks….funfun
I don’t mind how carefully you fall, so long as you drop your ice cream into the bowl.
Only dolphins, apparently, and they want you to carefully fall so you don’t hit one.
Your life fails. Get it?
I get it. And one of the tricks of this site got me again.
Watch out for the asploding chickens!
oh noes. not that!
BAM! Right in the temple!
Why bother to asplode them when you can do this?
Now it’s going to chase me around for the rest of my life…
Classic! I don’t think I’ll poison them, though. If I rig up a good trap, there are plenty around here that I could eat. Unlike the native parrots, which have started eating my pears about 3 months before I could.
Little bast@rds!! I love birdies, but I gave up trying to grow blueberries, too frustrating. Sometimes they eat all the blooms on the plum tree. I have started planting stuff just for the birds, and the situation has improved. I grow some broccoli and kale and let it get covered with cabbage loopers, then they seem to focus on that.
And it makes me feel good to see the butterflies.
We get pear slugs here.
I was trying to find a pic of the birds that eat my fruit, but I couldn’t find the exact species, which is a shame, because they’re beautiful. If you search for “Australian rosella” and then imagine whatever you find in mostly bright red and blue, with some green and yellow markings, that should be close. They’re about twice the size of budgerigars.
I don’t know what to grow to lure them away from the fruit, but it would have to be trees, and there’s not much space left, anyway.
My pear tree isn’t affected by the slugs any more. When it was, I would dust with white flour, which dries them up.
The wiki thing for aviculture said pears are a preferred food… doesn’t leave you an easy out. Put the tree in a pen?? I don’t think netting would work with these guys, they would gnaw through. Get a hawk? Dare I ask what the commercial growers do?
Cool tip on the slugoids.
I’m building a pen for the apple trees, but the pear tree is a bit big. One thing that worked before is covering individual clumps of pears with coloured net bags that onions come in. That’s a tedious job, especially in this weather. The smart little buggers will probably figure it out eventually, too. They ignored the fake hawk I tried one year.
What happens to me if I fall carelessly?
The same thing that happens when you fall carelessly. Except it looks less refined.
So how come no one gave me this advice about love?
Falling out of love is your brain whining about not getting its special tickle.
This really applies to when you fall out of a tree with a running chainsaw in your hands and large angry severed branches in pursuit.
Whiny brains can be so annoying.
Actually it’s the falling in that I can’t seem to do carefully enough.
I have had an occasional problem with angry branches. Mean fruit trees, too.
Falling in love is something that needs to be handled with Carl.
What if he prefers to do it with Carlotta? Is that an option?
What is this ‘it’ you speak of? My cousin?
It is It.
I thought this is/was it?
Well, if lexan D is *that* fragile…
Nah, but it does depend on what is being thrown at me.
Next time I encounter an even surface, I shall bear this excellent advice in mind.
Carefully falling, diving – same thing.
So, in the southern hemisphere we can recklessly spring?
Here in the USA, we make our clocks recklessly spring forward and fall back each year, except for a couple of states that refuse to do it, and Indiana, which is a special case, since there they let each individual county decide whether they’re on Eastern or Central Time, and whether or not they observe Daylight Savings Time. (Consequently, at certain times, one can drive just 80 miles in Indiana and be in three different time zones.)
We have a similar setup here, with fewer states. One of the favourite jokes is that in summer you can go to Queensland (where they don’t observe Daylight Saving) and go back a few decades.
I find this site can be more fun when it’s winter here and my time at the keyboard is more likely to coincide with you Merkins.
Is the heat as bad as ever? I have lived in some unpleasant areas of southern California; and it is tempting to reverse the day/nights cycles in summer there. Some of the construction workers need to.
I look forward to seeing what the down-under contingent has come up with! Maybe they should spread the posts out…
Some of us merkins keep odd hours.
Between the weather lately here in the Southeast (US) and what I’ve been hearing of weather in the UK, I’m sensing the dawn of a new ice age.
Todays local forecast: max. 39C. (I’m sure it got there. ) The water-bombing aircraft are on full alert, but I don’t smell any smoke yet, and I hope I don’t, because it will be bad for someone!
Next 3 days: max. 41C. Then *gasp* a cool change back to 26C!
I heard about the big freeze in Europe. I don’t envy them. I can still go out if I really have to. I always take drinking water with me.
I don’t know about a new ice age; I’m wondering about the Earth’s average surface temperature. Some say it’s rising, some say it’s not.
The Earth’s average temperature has clearly been rising, as has the level of atmospheric carbon dioxide. The problem I see with the gospel of global warming, though, is that the rise in carbon dioxide started about 15,000 years ago, long before human activity could have had a major impact, and it shows the same rate of rise and has now reached about the same level that immediately preceded all the ice ages for the last few hundred thousand years, when both it and the global temperature plummet even more precipitously than the rise. And we’re just about on time for the next period of glaciation. So I seriously do believe we are on the threshold of a new ice age. And if, as some suspect, ice ages are caused by the cessation of the thermohaline circulation in the oceans, an early bellwether for an ice age would be unusually cold winters in the UK.
Humans actually did start jacking the temp and CO2 up a very long time ago. We have been modifying the planet for a looong time.
Ocean acidification is disturbing me more than rising temperatures… the implications are unspeakably profound.
I’m sorry, I can’t believe that Neolithic cave fires caused global warming, particularly when you think of all the natural forest fires and volcanism that occur without the help of humans. I am as disturbed about the multifarious ways we humans are destroying the natural environment as anybody; I just don’t think the data for CO2 and temperature fit with human activity. And I can’t say I find the prospect of a new ice age more comforting than global warming, either, since during the last ice age my home town, New York City, was under a mile of ice.
Think “herders” and “grassland fires.” We humans tend to morph forests into savannahs and release CO2 in the process. Grassland also raises the temperature and is more reflective to cloud cover… which reduces rainfall and makes things dryer.
We are the primary instrument of change on the planet.
This book gave me a new paradigm for putting human activity in perspective.
But even keeping herds of animals grazing is not an activity that humans would have been doing 15,000 years ago. And the climate of the planet changed over and over and over again long before we got here. Look at the glacial-interglacial pattern and the atmospheric variation of CO2 going back 600,000 years and tell me how where we are now looks like a diversion from the cycle. It just looks like we’re heading into the end of the current interglacial period. We still live on a planet that has a life of its own, and it can still grind us up and spit us out any time it wants. Just imagine the effect if the Yellowstone Caldera were to blow in a supereruption tomorrow, and it is already long overdue. The effects could make a “nuclear winter” seem mild by comparison. And that’s just internal Earth forces. The primary agent of change on this planet is the Sun, and it too has cycles. I am not at all unsympathetic to the concerns of environmentalists; in fact I generally agree with their agenda. We are trashing the planet. But sometimes I think we forget that we are still very much at the mercy of forces far more powerful than ourselves.
The Yellowstone Caldera worries me too, all the way Down Here. I wonder if that’s the calamity the Mayan calender appears to predict for 2012?
Hang on to your @ss , Mabel, you can get a new hat!
We are not separate from the planet… the planet is not currently separate from us. We are an expression of the planet. We are a force of nature. Right now, we are releasing a lot of carbon in a hurry, changing the landscape and the ph of the ocean. The planet doesn’t care if we go extinct, it’s lost other species before.
What if we change the planet beyond the parameters of our own needs?
Where is the line for our parameters??
Oh, I absolutely agree that we are part of the planet, and vice versa. As I have stated, I know without doubt that the universe is one, seamless, undivided whole, so every single thing we do affects every single thing in the universe. And I agree we are approaching a tipping point. I just happen to be convinced by the data that the tipping point we are approaching will lead to an ice age, and our discharge of CO2 may be hastening the day. And one thing we have learned in recent years is that ice ages happen much faster than previously thought.
Speaking of which, we think we’re on for a Grand Match next weekend (needs 7″ of ice on the Lake of Menteith, so you can get 2_000 curlers playing on 200 rinks at once).
Dress warmly!
I keep odd hours, too. I’m only here now because it’s too d@mn hot to stay outside very long.
BTW, they do spread the posts around. If you notice the ones where I got in early, those were posted when it was 10;30pm here.
Yes, I see a trend also.
Bluejade, how’dja like to switch with me? I live in Cleveland and it is butt-numbing COLD here. I wouldn’t mind a reckless spring happening.*shivers*
Don’t want to switch!!!!!! You can come out here, though, if you’re prepared to live in poverty among the well-off. The air is clean and the scenery is killer.
It’s ok, as long as you don’t have a lot of ego, I guess.
I already live in poverty. It’s also known as CLEVELAND, OHIO!!!
I’m on the central coast of California. Pretty much every one here is well off except me, the other poor folks either starved or moved on.
If you click where it says “reply” for the person you’re talking to, nobody can butt in on the conversation. Not that anyone here would do that…
Heheh…u said butt…..
You’re talking out of your……
……..potatoes?
This could work at a bungee jumping place.
