"your first picture is still all messed up, completely off to the right. nice looking though "

Might be your browser, in mine it's slightly to the left.

"Rabbit has a dry meat and it has to be cooked accordingly."

I grew up with a gun & no hunting ethic so I try not to kill anything these days. One unpleasant setback to that plan was living on an estate as a renter. The 4 plus acres had two formal gardens and an Olympic sized pool all shrubbed and landscaped 75 years earlier.
It was lovely and the rabbits thought the flowers delicious.

Then a new owner began "rabbit thinning" at his wife's insistence. He could hit a rabbit but rarely fatally. Maimed rabbits were all over the place.

I offered to take over his chore if he would stop. That summer alone over 100 rabbits died. I was relieved when they were transferred.

regardless. it is offset. perhaps you could not have the text to one side of it, maybe above or below it. that would probably help a lot

"you could not have the text to one side of it, maybe above or below it. "

I went to do that to discover no text to the side on my screen. That led me to check what Windows 7 set as a resolution. 1920 x 1080. <ouch>
We're not seeing the same size ratios.

Low bandwidth and an uppity uploader prevent me resizing and rehosting so I'll see if I can delete them.

) to sow tarragon. Now I need to get more pots to plant the chive and sow the rocket. The pots are the hardest to buy, because I want them to look good, and be light (I have to carry all that stuff in the métro) and practical too. And not too expensive, considering it's all probably going to be a waste of money anyway.

I feel like a fool. They're all going to die

Oh you'll see, rocket is very rewarding! I sowed mine on Monday, and by Thursday, it was already germinating! It's the sweetest, most moving thing, when mini-leaves start emerging from the rough, dirty ground! And the only way you're going to kill your plants is when you'll eat them!

And don't look at me, I have no idea of how to manage the picture issue, it has to be done by the uploader, I think. I'm an anti-mod

I was just now working on some photos I had taken today, and while cropping this one, something suddenly jumped out at me.

See it?

No, not even when enlarged. What are we suppose to see?

My wife is currently engaged in killing the sunflowers she grew from seed in the kitchen. They should have been planted last week. I asked her if she was going to plant them today, but she doesn't know where she wants them. I told her that the planter outside the building in the shipyard where I work would be a good spot.

Think I'll be cooking for myself today.

'round here I let the birds plant their own damn sunflowers!

Upper right-hand side, fetus face.

(Which is what you are supposed to see, not what I'm calling you.)

Yes, I loved seeing my tomato plants germinate, and then grow. I'm not sure they're still growing now, I think they might still be angry at me for taking them outside

Anyway, my windowsill is now full of pots, but the pots are mostly empty

I do hope something will grow, anything, or my neighbors are going to

Oh, you mean I'm suppose to SEE a fetus face.

Never mind!

I still don't see it. No imagination, I guess.

FlorenceArt · 05-29-2010, 10:47 AM

I see a face, a profile to be exact, but no fetus.

GeoffC · 05-29-2010, 10:54 AM

Ah !

I see one face .....

My oat seeds are just sprouting!! I regularly plant a tray of them for the cat, hoping beyond hope that she will prefer to eat this rather than the lemongrass. Usually she does. But I do have to keep in mind that she is a cat. "Usually" doesn't mean much to a cat...
