I guess I am beginning to appreciate why Germany had the Sunday quiet laws.

and how do you feel about that?

WTH is it with clowns? Yes, I have an irrational fear of heights... but at least there is a reason for it... if you "fall" from the heights you die from the sudden stop at the end, which also will hurt.

Maybe you know someone you can talk to about this.

Clowns are scary, I don't know why they are allowed near small children

My mother likes to tell about the time she took my cousin and myself to see a Charlie Chaplin movie. My cousin spent the movie hiding under the seat, and I staring at the screen with tears running down my cheeks

That's a lot of work you've been doing! Weeding is no fun, and you're right about those dandelion roots!

In a perfect world, the plants we love would grow like weeds and the weeds would be the ones that are so fragile that they'd fold up and die if accidentally stepped on or if they weren't watered at precisely the right time in precisely the right amounts; and if you planted weeds too early, the frost would kill them!

Uh oh! Someone is pulling somebody's chain!

Fear of clowns is reasonable enough. The smile is false. Painted on. What kind of person must hide his true feelings while entertaining children? It is a mask meant to entice the young. What hides behind the greasepaint? There lurks the Stranger.
I'm not surprized pshrynk is frightened by clowns, as they represent the same deception that psychiatrists use upon their patients.

But that's easy: just grow weeds

Seriously, here there seems to be a trend in public gardens here, to use plants that are more rustic and require less care (and environment-unfriendly chemicals) to grow. I think there is wisdom in this. Some weeds are beautiful

Our deed restrictions has a line in them that says something like...

"You shall not allow weeds and other desirable plants to grow on your property..."

Well gee... as far as I know only god, or mother nature or whatever can "not allow" weeds to grow.

Steam them and stir fry them with oil and garlic. Can add some tomato too.

Steam them, cut them up and mix them to a thick garbanzo soup.
These are recps from our deep South.

Then you can let them go to seed and blow the magic puffs away.

Or make a crown to decorate you upper spheroid.
