- I don't get the supposed benefit. Bacteria is *good* for soil. -- nm - Reagen Apr 13, 11:55

  - fungus and weeds are good enough for mother nature, but are not helpful with growing peppers. - psilotum Apr 13, 11:57
- oh hell no. plant them in any soil as long it's *good* soil that can hold moisture and fertlize (but don't over fertilize - it can burn roots.) -- nm - Andie Apr 13, 11:46 3
  - this is what I'm thinking but the mrs. read that we should use it -- nm - zork Apr 13, 11:48 2
    - and I have a little peat moss to mix in if that helps -- nm - zork Apr 13, 11:49 1
      - peat moss should help it retain moisture. -- nm - Andie Apr 13, 11:58

- I think this sounds like a great idea, but, my best friend's dad got married when she was 16 without her and her siblings there and it bothered them - jnine Apr 13, 12:14
- It's really not me. I appreciate the concept, but it's just not me. - pmb Apr 13, 11:58 7
  - I honestly think you two need a night away and tell her exactly that. - Spawn Apr 13, 12:09

pmb, as with most things, the only way to learn to deal with kids is to observe, mimic, fail, try again. - mandy lane has totally lost track of days Apr 13, 11:41 24
- i think you're point of them being *teenage* girls is huge. - Andie Apr 13, 11:45 23
  - but to devil's advocate a bit, how many teenage girls *do* get along with their fathers' new SO? it can work sometimes. so maybe there's more to it. - kare Apr 13, 11:53 12
    - I think part of it is that fact that he gave so much for so long. Now he wants something for him. -- nm - Spawn Apr 13, 11:55 11
      - Exactly. He's done nothing but think of EVERYone else since the whole divorce thing began. If you ask me... - Jim Apr 13, 11:56 9
        
        And like I said, a few years down the road the daughter will look back on what the mother did, and whatthe father did and realize which one did it - Spawn Apr 13, 11:58
        
        but he's having to worry about the fiancee's happiness, too - kare Apr 13, 11:58 7
        
        She is terrified to enter *their* home. I would be, too. - Spawn Apr 13, 12:00 6
        
        that's true. i feel freaked out at the idea of moving into my bf's home, and there isn't an ex nor kids. (just a roommate who i think will *never* - kare Apr 13, 12:04 5
        
        Honestly that's one of the biggest problems for me. - pmb Apr 13, 12:12 1
        
        i don't mean to be all gloom and doom - kare Apr 13, 12:22
        
        !!! -- nm - Spawn Apr 13, 12:07
        
        wait - *are* you moving in?? -- nm - Andie Apr 13, 12:06 1
        
        no no. just an eventual thing. :) - kare Apr 13, 12:08
      - it's really unfair. -- nm - kare Apr 13, 11:56
  - I agree completely, but I can't seem to get my fiancee to accept it . - pmb Apr 13, 11:51 1
    - god, i wish i could go out for a lot of drinks with your fiancee. - Andie Apr 13, 12:05

    - Oh dude...YOUR daughters won't be like that. They'll be respectful and perfect, just like they are now. ;) -- nm - Jim Apr 13, 11:50 3
      - Obviously. -- nm - Spawn Apr 13, 11:54
      - I love you, man. -- nm - Subversive Apr 13, 11:50 1
        
        It's what I'm here for. :) -- nm - Jim Apr 13, 11:51
  - And this is a huge part of why I'm with Spawn on the fiancee's "side" of this, if there is such a thing. - Jim Apr 13, 11:48

    - but, despite the fact that in the NYTimes article he comes across as a patholigcal depressive, nothing of what he said, as quoted in either article - znufrii Apr 13, 12:01 10
      - "Today there is much focus on our rights." - Stephen Apr 13, 12:05 9
        
        nor is it hard to determine the thrust of the point from the context of the surrounding statements. - znufrii Apr 13, 12:07 8
        
        you didn't misplace a quotation mark, you added a word. - Stephen Apr 13, 12:10 7
        
        [deleted] 3
        
        Then there shouldn't be any need to just make shit up then - Stephen Apr 13, 12:18 2
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        Thanks. - znufrii Apr 13, 12:29
        
        the quotation mark should've followed 'much', as in 'too much "focus on rights"' - znufrii Apr 13, 12:11 2
        
        You're trying to attribute the "too much" part to him when those are your words and not what he said. - Stephen Apr 13, 12:17 1
        
        If you want to argue on the merits of the inference, please do so. I've already conceded the point on the specific quotation. - znufrii Apr 13, 12:21
    - In other words it doesn't spoon feed you the world view that you ascribe to? - Stephen Apr 13, 12:00 6
      - there you go. taking me too seriously again. - znufrii Apr 13, 12:04 2

        ST is nothing if not repetetive. - znufrii Apr 13, 12:09

        what's funny is that his post would've been just as accurate in reply to ML as to myself. *shrug* -- nm - znufrii Apr 13, 12:05 1
        
        Who knew that Legal Times was a partisan mouthpiece. -- nm - Stephen Apr 13, 12:08

  - why can't he just do the country a favor and resign? -- nm - znufrii Apr 13, 11:41 5

      - well, sure, but one can dream. - znufrii Apr 13, 11:43 3

        [deleted] 1
        
        that's what I thought you meant. -- nm - znufrii Apr 13, 11:46

  - Wouldn't it be funny if he never called the hotel, and they just lived there forever?!? -- nm - Spawn Apr 13, 11:40 1
    - Grr. I though you responded to ML. -- nm - Spawn Apr 13, 11:41

    - I have two of their CDs. Only have listened an hour Friday and an hour today, so early in my process, but strong. -- nm - Spawn Apr 13, 11:38
