Nor should it. Why does anyone with sense go to Twitter any more? Are you literally trying to further enable its monstrous owner?

Holy carp, I just started down the rabbit hole that is her youtube channel. It makes me miss living someplace with a decent growing season - ours is so short here. Last frost about June 20th. And you can easily get your first one (or snow) in September.
^^^^ This. Plus its so very arid here. I would love to be able to grow roses again.

@Steve-Miller said in The most spectacular garden I’ve ever seen.:
A landscape designer friend of mine once told me that a landscape should never contain more than 7 different plants. Any more and it’s no longer a landscape - it’s a plant collection.
If it’s variety you want, take a look at the host’s YouTube. Her garden is much larger and appears to feature at least 3 of whatever she could find that will grow in Wisconsin.
Lots of annuals.
I would never hire your landscape designer friend. Only 7 different plants? What is even the point of gardening?
I will not look at the host's youtube. I cannot stand her mewling repetitive adjectives!

RE: Exploding pagers
I haven't read anything about this, but on the way home from the vet today, Mr. Pique read something about it being an Israeli operation. If so, very clever.

RE: The most spectacular garden I’ve ever seen.
The landscaping is done really well, and I've never seen a man-made water feature done to look that natural before (they almost always look very fake), but really, there are only like three or five species? Hostas, impatiens, that thing she doesn't know the name of, ferns, and some day lilies.. I mean, not a lot else.
How about some roses? Some wildflowers? Clematis? Butterfly weed? Coneflowers? How about some zinnias, or delphiniums?.. I mean it's like they were just trying to fill space as quickly as possible without a lot of love for the plants themselves.

RE: The most spectacular garden I’ve ever seen.
The garden is beautiful but the "host" is incredibly annoying. They need to put music over her. ETA: not the owner, the woman visitor with the camera.

RE: Brings to mind the 70s feminist trope: "men are pigs"
His ex-wife is very courageous to allow herself to be exposed publicly like this. It's really quite noble. I am sure I couldn't do it.

@Jodi I'm taking you with me to look at houses.

RE: Now THIS is funny (debate related)
Yeah that was a great moment

RE: Who is watching the debate tonight?
I watched the whole thing and yelled a lot at the tv:
"Turn off his damned mic!"
"Make him answer that question !"
"Let her have a rebuttal!!"
"These reporters need remedial training!"
"Come on Kamala! Just say it: 'You are out of your mind!'"
"Get him, Kamala!"
"These people have no idea how to handle psychopaths!"
My husband said if I didn't stop he was going to leave. LOL

RE: I designed a Kamala t-shirt
I changed the typography just very slightly. Can you tell?

RE: I designed a Kamala t-shirt
A friend said she wanted a t-shirt and said the image made her cry. So this morning I ordered one for each of us. I was surprised to see how easy and fast it is. Cost per t-shirt depends on the quantity purchased. To buy two, they were about $21 each. If I put in an order for 140, they would cost me nearly $2,000, or about $14 each. I don't think I'd do that without prepaid orders. The reason they are so much is because it is a four-color design. They offer one-color in quantity for around $3 each.
I will see how good the quality is for the price. If really nice maybe I will offer them for sale, and donate proceeds to the campaign. In the meantime, I plan to wear mine to do voter canvassing next month.

RE: I designed a Kamala t-shirt
I could start an Etsy account, I guess. I would change the type face just a bit, if I can figure out how to make it a bit fatter. I still like mine better than any of the ones linked to.

RE: I designed a Kamala t-shirt
@wtg that's because I figured out how to get rid of it.
I offered this design to the campaign the day after the convention, and after looking at their swag offerings on the official website, and seeing how unexciting they were.
I waited about a week, but never heard back. Some friends have said they want the t-shirt. Which would be in all black. But I don't have any idea if it would be okay to do this on my own. Furthermore, by the time I get it done, it would probably be too late to have much impact (if it were to have any impact at all).
I used to do this professionally, but it's been a long time ago. Like before people used computers to design with. Just learning how to create this on my laptop was what took the most time!

RE: This keeps happening
I cannot understand how a 14 year old can be charged as an adult. He's not an adult. He can't think like an adult. Not even close.

RE: Aging at Home is Expensive!
I have been thinking about this for a long time. My somewhat sketchy plan is that our next house is going to be in a college town and will have a caregiver's apartment or suite, so that I can exchange housing for caregiving. Or, we'll move to a community that has nonprofit agencies that provide such care. For example, I was reading about a Jewish organization in the Berkshires that provides aging at home services to its community members.
I don't want to end up like my MIL--she spent the last five of her 95 years in bed, with 24-hour in-home nursing care, and it cost an absolute fortune. At the time, her children did the calculus and it was still cheaper than a nursing home.
Mr Pique has always said he'll walk off a cliff before he will live like that. I'm starting to have the same idea.

Ugh. How do you get rid of that type on the sides? I'm not loving this format. grrrr.
