• Sqwertz Piss Garden 2024

    From Sqwertz@21:1/5 to All on Fri Mar 8 00:42:54 2024
    Clockwise from 6 O'clock:

    Little Napoli Romas
    Sweet 100 Cherry
    Cherokee Purple
    Plain ol "Romas"(?)
    And in the center on the newly mudded-in post is "Hanging
    Dingleberries" (cherries, of course).

    The peat pots and styrofoam dish are Sqwertz Piss Peppers
    Gen 4 (lots - I'm gonna plant some in the wild), Persian
    basil, Lemongrass, and damned if those mustard seeds didn't
    sprout - Huh.

    I'll get bigger pots for them later. This years cage
    measures a mere 11 x 11 ft.

    I loved cutting the post for the dingleberry post. I tried
    serval alternatives such as hanging from the front porch
    (too high), bending 3/4" PVC over a charcoal fire (which I
    nailed) but settled on this iron day bed back rail. I tried
    every saw I had trying to lop that post down to size, and
    finally resorted to this mother fucker:

    ps://www.homedepot.com/p/DEWALT-7-in-x-1-8-in-Masonry-Abrasive-Saw-Blade-Bulk-DW3521/202579871

    For $2.07 delivered via Ex Next Day Air (two weeks ago), I
    just had to try it. It made quick work of the pipe where the
    jigsaw and recip saw couldn't even nick that fucking pole.
    Sparks everywhere and smelled like toxins (wore gloves, two
    pairs of glasses and a Darth Vadar mask)

    There ain't much documentation about this kind of blade,
    especially in a $19 circular saw at says not to use these
    abrasive blades.

    https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0CHRMTJR3/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

    Worked like a charm! I'm just a little itchy afterwards (I
    think they're made out of fiberglass or asbestos)

    Is that redneck or hillbilly?  I'm not sure.  If it works, it works.

    You must have deer that hang around?

    Yes, we have lots of deer, fox, coyotes, bobcats, coons,
    rabbits, squirrels, porcupines, possum, armadillos,
    landsharks, etc...

    "Coon", "Possum" - they are just nicknames for the animals.  Who decided >either was "hate speech"?

    Asshole's a body part, so if I call you an asshole, that's not hate
    speech either, just a strange comparison.

    I've never heard of Hebe.

    Except black people have often been referred to as "coons"
    Hebe? Really? First heard it used about 70 years ago. As well as
    other derogatory names for Jews.

    Different worlds. I don't think I had never met a Jew until I went to

    There were no Jews where I grew up. We were almost all WASPs. There were
    no Asians or Blacks. Heck, there weren't even many Catholics. I never
    met any Jews until I moved to a city in the middle of Gr 9 and ended up
    in a high school where more than a quarter of the students were Jews.
    They were basically secular Jews, the type who may or may not go to
    Temple regularly but would go for weddings and funerals. They certainly
    were not the strict orthodox types who dress in distinctive clothes and
    keep to themselves.

    Having been raised Anglican, we had been taught to respect Jews at the
    chosen people, bit the Christ Killers that some people seem to think. We
    all got along fine at school and socially. I was surprised to learn
    that some people think that calling them Jews is a pejorative and think
    the proper term is Jewish. I had discussed that with some of my Jewish friends and they were all adamant that they were Jews not Jewish.

    Having said that, we were the most integrated town in Nevada at the

    Integration is a two way street. In my case we went to the same school,
    played on the same teams, socialized together and dated each other. In
    bigger cities with bigger Jewish communities who get a lot more of of
    the more orthodox Jews who dress distinctly and stick together. They
    don't like to mingle with non Jews or even with less conservative Jews.

    Much different. I spent my first 26 years in Philadelphia. Had
    assorted contact with Jews since probably a baby. A Jewish Deli had the
    best ham, they would slice it on a machine in the back.

    My father worked for a Jewish owned printing company, I worked for a
    Jewish owned grocery store when I was in high school. When his wife
    died, I even sat shiva with the family.

    About 25% of the Philly population is Jewish. Some people disliked them because they were Jews, but if you respected them, you were treated like family.

    the proper term is Jewish.   I had discussed that with some of my Jewish friends and they were all adamant that they were Jews not Jewish.

    Having said that, we were the most integrated town in Nevada at the
    time I lived there. Jews may have just kept a low profile.
    2 cents.


    Integration is a two way street.  In my case we went to the same school, played on the same teams, socialized together and dated each other.  In bigger cities with bigger Jewish communities who get a lot more of of
    the more orthodox Jews who dress distinctly and stick together.  They
    don't like to mingle with non Jews or even with less conservative Jews.




    Saw very little of that in Philly, much more predominate in New York
    with the Orthodox segment.
