Re: Gardening
One of the nice thing about potatoes is how much you can do with them. Admittedly one of my favorite incarnations of potatoes is none other than the french fry. I especially love McDonald's fries. :lol: I also enjoy a good chili cheese fry. Anyone getting hungry? :lol: I really wish the good tasting...

Re: Catching up
I wouldn't say I'm a fan of socialism either. I've come to see "utopia" as simply a perfect world. But most stories about alleged utopias typically involve a problem hidden from society's view in some way. The Giver comes to mind. The existential problem in The Giver is that when people ou...

Re: Promoting my book: Sky Kingdom
I've never thought of the "poor man's copyright." If all else fails, maybe I'll try that.

Close, I was thinking Veteran's Day.
But I think "talk like a pirate day" is a fun holiday too.
I wonder if any one celebrates Star Wars Day? May the 4th be with you.

Re: Promoting my book: Sky Kingdom
Right now I think I'd rather just make it a novelization than a comic at this point. But depending on the success of the story, I might consider a comic adaptation. Drawing out panels and putting in word bubbles (which the word bubbles part I'm just not that great at. I might need the right programs...

Re: Catching up
If war is so commonplace and a necessary to keep society afloat, then what of peace? Why doesn't society value peace more? I suppose the obvious answer is money. War generates profit, but at what expense? It seems money is more valuable than human life. Sad but true. I feel like a good utopian socie...

Re: Gardening
Yeah I agree on the sour cream thing. It's much better on a regular ol' potato than a sweet potato or a yam. I'd rather have butter, maybe some brown sugar on it since it lends itself to a sweet taste. Regular potatoes are more savory. My step dad was a big fan of yukon gold potatoes. They're kind o...

Re: Catching up
Good genes and large families make for great histories. Definitely agree there. I enjoy learning about family histories. :) Well, as I've said, my maternal grandfather was born in 1875, and that's pretty mind-blowing for me, too, even though I know I'm older than you. But in the South, we still thi...

Re: Solar Eclipse! Some viewing tips if you don't have the special glasses.
A neat gift indeed! Though as far as true to type goes, I'm honestly not sure. I know it's tricky with apples because the seeds are pretty random as far as what kind of apple will sprout...will it be sweet, sour, big or tiny? It's hard to say. But I don't know much about lemons or citrus fruit. All ...

Re: Happy Pi Day!
Walpurgisnacht huh? I think I've seen that mentioned in other threads. I don't know much about it. Isn't it the other holiday that's supposed to have a deep connection with the spirit world and life and death? I guess I'll have to dig around and do some research on it. I don't know much about it. I ...

Re: Gardening
I haven't completely plotted out my garden yet. I'll probably end up breaking down and growing some kind of pumpkins. I tried starting tomatoes and peppers early and the wind took out my green house. But thankfully the plants at the plant sale weren't too expensive. I also re-assembled the green hou...

Re: Promoting my book: Sky Kingdom
My daughter has one novel she wrote in high school and early college, then completely revised after college. So far she has not sought to publish it. But most of her writing is plays (theater major), and publication for that means mounting the plays. She's gone so far as to have a table reading for...

Re: Promoting my book: Sky Kingdom
Indeed it really is. There's so many venues out there now for publishing, including amazon and lulu. It's challenging trying to break into the traditional publishing market, and plus I hear they end up owning the rights to some of your published content. I suppose if you aren't THAT attached to your...
