He has no idea what water costs, much less what insulin costs. <br />The good thing about rooting things is that you can just do it in bottles and vases you already have and then, if you don't actually want the plant you can give it away. Or, you know- throw it in the back yard. It's just some green in the windows. But I can see your point.

Then to read the sad, sad coverage today...I just don't know what will happen with all his militia.<br />August has the perfect tool! My brother in law has one that he whips out for any occasion. Whips Out! I asked my sister and him to drop by and help me assemble a new cat tree. Mr. All in One fell to, and manually screwed in bolt after bolt. Finally I came back from my tool basket with my little Skil power midget tool. He was too good for it for about one more level of posts, then he thought he'd give it a try. He finished the next several levels with it, then said to my sister, "See.
