For some reason, my wife has been growing a crap ton of mint which is odd because we really don't use all that much mint.  So yesterday, I decided the best course of action would be to make many pitchers of mojitos.  Yada yada yada I fell asleep on the floor of the twins' room at like 8pm.  Those things are dangerous.

I put an herb garden in last year.  I wanted oregano, basil and thyme but the rest of the plants were completely determined by the stakes I bought on Amazon.

Now I have mint EVERYWHERE.  It's like a weed.  The good news is that the oregano is also like a weed and came back strong.  Basil looks a little sick but think it will make it and the rabbits ate most of the dill, sage, rosemary & parsley.  Need to get Climby to eat those damn rabbits.

You can't put mint into soil with other herbs.  You just end up making everything minty. 

If you pull the plant and sink a pot into the ground and replant it in the pot you'll solve your issue.

It's not too bad because I used a weed barrier with individual holes cut in the fabric. However, as you know, it spreads like crazy.  Think I'm going to check Lowe's tomorrow to see if they are basically giving away the rest of their inventory of garden plants. Considering planting some mint and citronella on my fence line in the woods.

I planted mint next to basil once and ended up with great mint and minty basil which was nasty 

 
Everytime I have to make this one left turn across two lanes of traffic near my house (it's 35mph) it's like this:. Two cars are about 400yds away, so I just calmly start the turn. Within miliseconds of seeing me start the turn, both cars are gunning it trying to see which one can t-bone me the hardest.  

This same thing happens when you have to merge onto the freeways around here. You'll be going the right speed to merge and then all of a sudden Mario fn andretti floors his Subaru hatchback just to #### block you at the last minute.  Can't wait till AI takes over

not that i recall.    i drive normal, and courteously for the most part.  I let people merge, i try not to force other people to slow down or slam on their brakes when i change lanes or enter a road etc...   I used to drive very aggressively but many years ago realized how stupid that was.

 
Everyone in Tampa Bay is either a race car driver or has way too much time on their hands. Not many in between.

my work phone has been getting spammed hard by telemarketers ever since. most identifying themselves as part of a Hilton sales pitch.

Kid came home from a choir camp last year with some bites that we didn't recognize.  After she got in to the doc a few days later we found out it was bedbugs - bad enough the doc called in some colleagues to see the bites.  And her sleeping bag and suitcase had been sitting on the LR sofa for a couple of days at that point.

We immediately moved everything to the garage, washed what was washable on the :hot:  cycle, and bought powders and the trap things for the bed feet, etc. 

By some miracle, we never saw a single bug, and have had no issues since.

that happened yesterday for example, i was driving the big old SUV  which isn't exactly "quick"

this morning coming into work i was driving my toyota pickup which is quick and nimble.  I come off the freeway and the road T-bones, there's a light, its yellow, so i just continue on and turn right.   you go 1 block to another light and turn right onto a 4 lane highway.    As soon as I was making the first right turn through the yellow light, the jacked up rice burner in the right lane at the light jams on their gas and within half a block is riding my ### like i'm a street whore paying for crack.  I'm like "dude, we are coming to a red light, no need to go 50MPH ( i was going about 25).    so i turn right onto the highway and the rice burner follows me nose to bumper, then jets around me like I must have really put her out of sorts, this obviously really really bugged the #### out of her.    

I don't get.   I really don't

without a doubt these guys & girls driving the souped up Honda racer type cars are the most dangerous drivers on the road. 

around here it's not uncommon to see a group or a line of them racing around the city streets, weaving in and out of traffic trying to be cute.
