Stuff

The garden is coming in great. We are using the square foot gardening method so it is really starting to look "filled-in". Some of my herbs didn't come up and so yesterday I started some more seeds. I am trying the "baggie" method I learned about over on the American Preppers Network forums. I am trying my hand at some serrano peppers, rosemary, thyme, cilantro, some more marigolds, and oregano. I'm hoping its not to late but I think it will be fine. If not I'm out a few peat pellets, a few seeds, and some baggies. Not a big deal.

Work has been pretty slow which isn't good since I depend on tips for my money. You can sure tell the economy is hurting people. More and more people are staying in for meals rather than dining out. Just a reminder though folks, the next time you are eating out, your server makes $2.13 an hour. 15% gratuity should be applied, 20% or more is a great tip. If you can't afford to leave a tip try McDonalds, or some place that doesn't have servers there to wait on you.

I stopped by our local thrift store to look around this week and found a couple of good finds. I found a home Merk Manual for 75 cents and a Practical Encyclopedia on Natural Healing for a buck. I also found a cool camping kit. It has 3 pots , a skillet, 4 tin plates, and two handles. 6 bucks!! We camp alot (I know, I know , your thinking"they but theylive in a RV") It's just not the same to me. We like to take the tent and all the camping gear just to get away and go fishing.

What a wonderful and insightful speach this was! I thought I would share it with you all.
