Check Your Clogged Drains for Pesky Roots

2011-09-20T11:23:00.000-07:00

We rented a big snake auger from The Home Depot and snaked the entire plumbing system. ALL kinds of garbage came out of the pipes including lots and lots of earthy smelling dirt. Hmmm, we thought, some roots must have gotten into the system. We kept at it and eventually we got the pipes clear and the water flow started to return to normal.

Giselle Esteban, Michelle's childhood friend, has captured the media spotlight. It's certainly not any spotlight I would ever want shined on me: Giselle has been charged with Michelle's murder.

Gardening Analogies: Life Lessons from the Garden: "The Sweet Pea Massacre"
I kind of knew that I shouldn't have pruned them so harshly. I'd been looking at them closely now for two weeks - wondering why they were rioting over the side of their bathtub container, yet still they had no blossoms on their massive tendrils. I thought that I had planted duds, that I wasn't going to get any flowers, or worse yet,that I would have this tangled mess of sweet pea vines just taking up room in my precious soil.

Sad Love Poems and Poetry

2011-01-12T08:56:00.000-08:00

Sad Love Poems and Poetry:

The Rose of Pain...

A beautiful rose with thorns

it pricks

it stabs

it bleeds.

How could something so

Beautiful

hurt me?

How do pain and beauty

exist together?

Oh Beautiful Rose

be careful not to stab the one you love

Withdraw your painful thorns

Cut them off if you must

Let your fragrance and beauty be stronger

than the bite of your needles.

Oh precious rose, precious mate

Prune me if you must

but be kind

For I am a thorn less rose,

and cannot prick back

but only die in my pain.

Rock Memorabilia - Vintage Rock Posters

2010-11-26T11:22:00.000-08:00

Funny how if you hold onto things long enough they usually end up being valuable - and rock and roll memorabilia and vintage rock posters are no different. I have a few pieces of prized rock and roll items in my possession- A Beatles concert program from a 60's concert in San Francisco -and an old Santana poster from the 70's that fared in far worse shape thanks to being plastered on my garage wall. My brother, 10 years older than me (lucky dog) was the one that brought that Beatles program home to me one night after the concert, along with a big Beatles poster (which unfortunately I don't have anymore, sure wish I did!)

Hookahs For Sale - A Hookah What??

A strange looking apparatus has sprung up at my house and taken residence...and it looks suspiciously close to what we used to call a "bong" back in the 70's. My daughter however bought this Hookah for sale at a specialty store down the street (2010) - to smoke tobacco out of. I have to admit, it's a beautiful piece of artwork. The aroma that comes forth is also amazingly nice (it smells like blueberry wafting through the house) but I have to wonder... how did this throwback from the 70's show up again? More here:

Pit Bull Puppies and Dogs: Couch Potatoes?

2010-02-28T14:28:00.000-08:00

My latest article about my experience with a Pit Bull puppy. I had preconceived notions about the breed and have come to understand that although bred for fighting, this breed has alot of great traits. I know some people will disagree with me but I think alot of the bad rap that the American Bull Terrier breed gets is because of the owners treatment of the dogs, not the breed themselves.

President Obama serious about climate change

2009-04-03T15:26:00.000-07:00

My latest report at the San Francisco Examiner: This isn’t just about saving the dolphins anymore. And it’s not just about saving trees either. President Obamas bold stance on climate change is about saving us. Without a sustainable Earth, our future and the future of our children and grandchildren are threatened by the effects of climate change: drought, floods, fires, and sea level rise will worsen significantly if we don't take immediate action. Millions of lives could be at stake if we fail to come together now in perhaps the single most defining moment on Earth.
