Killashandra I like this

Killashandra is a 24 year old woman in a relationship from Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.
What's new with me--having finally graduated in the spring, I found that I had enough credits that if I pushed it through the summer, I could have a second degree by December. So that's that for now. Uggh some people love the student life and I can feel that engaging interest on occasion, but damn it has been nothing but stress for me over the last 5 1/2 years. If you loved university then you probably have a healthier outlook than I do, and I'd love to hear how you did it. Meantime my secret interest in textile arts, which I've suppressed, is begging for attention, so I'm torn between a master's in linguistics (probably sign language acquisition) and going to art school. In Germany or France, where we're moving in the new year. Thing is I'm having a really hard time finding anywhere that teaches textile art properly--if you have insight into this at all, especially for France, please please drop me a line! So take care of yourselves everybody and enjoy the new autumn!

G6970 Home Propagation of Garden and Landscape Plants, MU Extension
Jul 6, 6:28pm    (1 review)  gardening, garden, rooting, propagation, cuttings  http://extension.missouri.edu/xplor/aggu...
Exceptionally good explanation of how to root cuttings of various common plants. The site details the three types of cuttings, explains different ways and mediums for rooting, and even includes a fairly extensive table of common plants with instructions on how and when to root each one. Priceless for a new gardener.

how to build a "countertop greenhouse"--aka a wooden box with glass panels for sides and roof. For propagating and/or starting plants. Basically a how-to for those who don't want to invest the money or who want to tailor the size and shape of a little greenhouse.
Munich Flash Mob

The Munich, Germany implementation of a pretty funny performance art-like social event. Pretend to be part of some kind of conspiracy, dress alike, and do odd things at exactly the same time with another 50-200 members, for fun and to see reactions. Say exactly the same things to the press according to predetermined instructions....pretty funny in this city at least.
