Big Green Genie

Like most people I don’t like to offend.  I shower regularly with soap (Kirks Castile usually). I’m a little sensitive to perfumes and fragrances, meaning that usually they give me a bit of an ache in my sinuses.  Oddly enough…natural scents don’t bother me, flowers and herbs and natural incense, but that is another post entirely I think

So I finally ran out of the last store bought deodorant I will ever buy two days ago.  I have been reading about how aluminum in antiperspirant isn’t good for people. I also have to wonder about trying to shut down a system that has been working well at cooling humans for millennia.  Read the rest of this entry »

I’m so excited because today I saw that some of my seeds were sprouting in their starter pots. Which is kind of misleading because I didn’t use pots. I used one of the cardboard egg cartons that came with the eggs I purchased.  I got the idea from ” Newspaper, Pennies, Cardboard, and Eggs–For Growing a Better Garden: More than 400 New, Fun, and Ingenious Ideas to Keep Your Garden Growing Great All Season Long” which I purchased just before Christmas/Yule.  Read the rest of this entry »

Since I started writing this blog and began using advertising, I get really annoyed with the automated ads that get thrust upon me from time to time.  I want you all to know that I am aware of the inconsistencies that show up from time to time, and am working on a better filter for the ad content.

Amazon is keyword driven, and at times the products that are featured with my articles are conflicting with my views.  For instance, the insecticide that was being featured under my article for NATURAL PEST DETERRANTS.  I saw that this morning and was both annoyed and amused.

There is a way to get adverts that are consistent with my content, I know there is!!!  I will prevail in this, I promise.  Until I get it managed… bear with me and ignore those ads that seem really out of place.

 Ok, so I’m moved.  I have a nice bright room in a 3 bedroom condo, I have the slider to the back for my entry(if  I so choose), good roomies.  What could possibly be wrong with this…well a couple of things, German and American cockroaches.

No, my new roomies held nothing back about them, I was well aware when we first discussed my moving in that there were little squatters in the walls. In fact, I had helped install new counter tops in their kitchen shortly after they moved in and helped them to clean up the horrific amount of ickyness that was the result of shoddy labor.  Namely dead cockroaches that were painted over in the cupboards.

These friends of mine have waged a valiant war on the nasty little bugs, but it being a condo with shared walls between living spaces, I’m afraid they are losing big time.

So here I am… big green and genie like, moving in… I’m not afraid of bugs, been known to squish them with my bare fingers (I don’t like it much, but sometimes it is the most expedient way to dispose of them.) They have boric acid sprinkled around in all kinds of places, they have been firing off bug bombs like a WWII invasion, and all I can think is, “oh my god, this can’t be good for you guys living here.” Read the rest of this entry »

Recently I was fortunate enough to receive an Iphone from my employer. Best thing about it is that I can add to my blog through a neat little application that was free. Of course, now I have no excuse not to blog every day. There is, indeed, no rest for the wicked.
