What made you smile today?

Clearly you don't have a cat. Whenever I've planted cat mint, the plant lasts two days at most before it's a stalk.

laughs..

I once planted both catmint and catnip, a neighborhood cat came around but didn't gnaw on either, at least that I saw.

I always thought catmint was the English name for catnip?
Ahah:

"While "catnip" is the most famous type of catmint plant, there are numerous other kinds. In many cases, gardeners grow these other varieties simply because they look great in the garden. Long-blooming perennials such as the first two types discussed below are very useful to those of us seeking continuous sequence of bloom in the garden.

By contrast, catnip has a rather weedy appearance and is rarely grown as an ornamental. Nonetheless, it is king of the catmint plants because of its effect on that diminutive "king of the jungle" on mouse patrol in your backyard."

Its good to get home again,
but I loved the IANDS convention www.IANDS.org in California.

I met old friends and made new ones.
The best speakers were the medical doctors who had near death experiences of their own.
I had lunch with one of them, Mary Neal, M.D. She comes across as very frank n casual; sharp I.Q.

My own OOBE experiences have been too brief & feeble, relative to
those expressed by the lecturers n I don t remember my deaths, so I don t lecture,
but the audience tells me that thay like my questions of the lecturers.

Back when I grew both, one had bigger leaves, but I fail to remember which.

Was that when you drove them from the airport to the conference?

It's now "near death?" What ever happened to "death bed?" LMAO

Thay were quite safe. I flew there
and left my car in Florida,
but I had lunch with one of them.

... that some my name might be shown by the Albuquerque Museum of Art and History on a variety of videos. (I was just contacted about the copy right by the media company which is creating those videos if the can use one or more of my photos .... maritime related)

Yay, Walter. Good work!

What definitely will be shown (on a "HD-monitor", they said) is an etching I own .... and which was posted here on A2K http://able2know.org/topic/99332-1

for folks on fb - evidence that kickycan is alive, well and as nutty as ever

The down votes I received. Especially considering which posts were down voted.

Driving to work, passed a guy coming toward me on a bike, pulling one of those trailers for kids to ride in.

Glanced in my rear view mirror after I passed, and saw the passenger was a German Sheperd.

Can't see it (undoubtedly my computer) - say hi for me if you run across him, please.

That brat never showed us any of his Italy photos. He needs to be punished.

That got me giggling.

I didn't post this yesterday but I'm still smiling about it today -

I went into the bedroom to get something in my chest of drawers, as they used to call them, and there was something odd on the wall across the room. I should wipe it off, but wait, maybe it's a lizard. It was a lizard, just beautiful. What to do, what to do. I went and got a paper towel, not to squish it but to take it outside. Which is how I found out how fast they are. Came back maybe a half hour later and there was lizard-o lying about on the tile. This time I got him or her in a kind of paper towel basket, and brought it outside into the shade. Wish I had been camera-ready, such exquisite markings.
My first New Mexico lizard.

Lizards are fast, but have you ever seen a huntsman shift?

No, but I had a black widow in my sink. Not a good day..

Do you charge for entry, Osso?

Sounds better than the nocturnal house at London Zoo.

When my lad was doing things with a coral reef in deepest, darkest Indonesia, they were billeted in a run down ex colonial mansion which the jungle was trying to reclaim.
The boys toilet was a large pot on the floor next to a once grand fireplace. The first time he used the loo, he thought that the three foot lizard on the mantel piece was an old Victorian ornament, until it turned its head towards him.
You see, men can't easily stop mid flow, so they stared at each other for a further fifteen seconds or so before he could make a quick exit.

Over the following month, they got to know each other very well.
