“He who has a garden and a library wants for nothing.” — Marcus Tullius Cicero Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets. Matthew 22:37-40

Last Notes npub1chsujl4vs0nf92g85yzyryausn5z2nyajrsg2z9edjev8lenffaqnqc4uz Matthew Duffy I've heard various things along this vein. What is real and what is hype? npub1chsujl4vs0nf92g85yzyryausn5z2nyajrsg2z9edjev8lenffaqnqc4uz Matthew Duffy Such a beautiful place! My family went there to photograph the solar eclipse back in 2012. I live so close I should visit more. It looks like you had a nice time. npub1chsujl4vs0nf92g85yzyryausn5z2nyajrsg2z9edjev8lenffaqnqc4uz Matthew Duffy Thanks! I enjoy these! I'll let the non-deaf respond, because it's a bit unfair for someone like me who's familiar with the language to be answering all the time. 😆 npub1chsujl4vs0nf92g85yzyryausn5z2nyajrsg2z9edjev8lenffaqnqc4uz Matthew Duffy Fiat money makes banana republics! 😂 It's true, though! npub1chsujl4vs0nf92g85yzyryausn5z2nyajrsg2z9edjev8lenffaqnqc4uz Matthew Duffy #Politics #PolyTicks #WeCanDoBetter #GrowNostr npub1chsujl4vs0nf92g85yzyryausn5z2nyajrsg2z9edjev8lenffaqnqc4uz Matthew Duffy Can this please be the year that partisan politics and the two party political system dies??? The so-called "leadership" of each major party cares nothing about all of us and is more likely than not all great friends while we squabble amongst ourselves. I'm looking at you, Democrats and Republicans. Why should I be forced to choose between Pepsi and Coke? What if I want milk, or tea, or water and don't want a bad-for-me sugary drink? (Lesser of two evils, anyone? The lesser of two evils is still evil.) Why, when there are 300 million plus people in this country, and when you whittle it down due to eligibility, why is my choice between two creepy, cranky, old, rich, white dudes? There must be a thousand other well qualified candidates out there, but y'all don't demand better, so this is what we get. The system IS rigged, but I believe if enough of us say "ENOUGH!" we can actually make a difference. This is yours, your children's, and your grandchildren's future. Make the most of it. Come, join me. All it takes is not just taking what you're dished out and being willing to have civil discourse with everyone. Stop just surviving and start thriving. The meme I'm adding can go both ways, Democrat or Republican. Remember, I'm not rooting for either, I want both to lose. https://image.nostr.build/949486ae26c38ddfa994a6cd3995f253fc9b316171120f4a8f022e04f5dbf047.jpg npub1chsujl4vs0nf92g85yzyryausn5z2nyajrsg2z9edjev8lenffaqnqc4uz Matthew Duffy Looks like cranberry juice to me. npub1chsujl4vs0nf92g85yzyryausn5z2nyajrsg2z9edjev8lenffaqnqc4uz Matthew Duffy Cool! Thank you! npub1chsujl4vs0nf92g85yzyryausn5z2nyajrsg2z9edjev8lenffaqnqc4uz Matthew Duffy Would you share the brand? Did you purchase on Amazon, or elsewhere? npub1chsujl4vs0nf92g85yzyryausn5z2nyajrsg2z9edjev8lenffaqnqc4uz Matthew Duffy The sign is Teacher. npub1chsujl4vs0nf92g85yzyryausn5z2nyajrsg2z9edjev8lenffaqnqc4uz Matthew Duffy Okay, just like #sports fans have their #dreamteams now it's the #foodies turn! What's your favorite food pairings? I'll start it off with #chocolate and #peanutbutter ! #Grownostr #dreamteam #foodie npub1chsujl4vs0nf92g85yzyryausn5z2nyajrsg2z9edjev8lenffaqnqc4uz Matthew Duffy Huh. That does make sense. Now I just have to try to remember that the next time I transplant a tree that I have to trim roots on. npub1chsujl4vs0nf92g85yzyryausn5z2nyajrsg2z9edjev8lenffaqnqc4uz Matthew Duffy Maybe I'm a little slow right now, but why would removing all the leaves reduce transplant stress? npub1chsujl4vs0nf92g85yzyryausn5z2nyajrsg2z9edjev8lenffaqnqc4uz Matthew Duffy If there must be a congress, this should be it. #nevent1q…c3mj npub1chsujl4vs0nf92g85yzyryausn5z2nyajrsg2z9edjev8lenffaqnqc4uz Matthew Duffy After several years of doing homeschool my daughter begged to go to public school. She had been missing the interaction with other people as my wife wasn't getting involved with social things due to a variety of reasons. Now at a government institution she is realizing how dumb her generation is, how lackadaisical they are towards learning in general, and how immature they are for only having same age interactions. But still she wants to go. npub1chsujl4vs0nf92g85yzyryausn5z2nyajrsg2z9edjev8lenffaqnqc4uz Matthew Duffy Always be learning, never settle, even if it's just enough to get by; because eventually all those little bits add up and being able to take a nugget of knowledge from this field over here and recognize a connection in that field over there will make you so much more powerful in all that you do. #nevent1q…6uxm npub1chsujl4vs0nf92g85yzyryausn5z2nyajrsg2z9edjev8lenffaqnqc4uz Matthew Duffy Not a memory of that, but recently a coworker told me of a former coworker of his who had previously worked for a bottling company. She said she would never drink a monster energy drink because the concrete in that part of the bottling plant had to be redone every five years. npub1chsujl4vs0nf92g85yzyryausn5z2nyajrsg2z9edjev8lenffaqnqc4uz Matthew Duffy And there's the two of us here that can chat with you on occasion too. Not as great as in person, but better than nothing. npub1chsujl4vs0nf92g85yzyryausn5z2nyajrsg2z9edjev8lenffaqnqc4uz Matthew Duffy Please let me know! My wife was just down in LA for a concert, so going down south for a Bitcoin/ASL event isn't out of the question. npub1chsujl4vs0nf92g85yzyryausn5z2nyajrsg2z9edjev8lenffaqnqc4uz Matthew Duffy I moved in 2011, and started learning in the fall of that year at the local community college. That would be a cool event! Even though it would be a bit of a trek it would be really cool to go to it. npub1chsujl4vs0nf92g85yzyryausn5z2nyajrsg2z9edjev8lenffaqnqc4uz Matthew Duffy Currently living in Northern California. Originally from Utah. I grew up wearing hearing aids, but with no sign language, so I don't know any Deaf in Utah. npub1chsujl4vs0nf92g85yzyryausn5z2nyajrsg2z9edjev8lenffaqnqc4uz Matthew Duffy Are you Deaf, terp, CODA? I'm late deafened, but loving ASL and wish I could find more community local to me. npub1chsujl4vs0nf92g85yzyryausn5z2nyajrsg2z9edjev8lenffaqnqc4uz Matthew Duffy Finally someone else who knows ASL is here! npub1chsujl4vs0nf92g85yzyryausn5z2nyajrsg2z9edjev8lenffaqnqc4uz Matthew Duffy It's all going to zero against bitcoin npub1chsujl4vs0nf92g85yzyryausn5z2nyajrsg2z9edjev8lenffaqnqc4uz Matthew Duffy Thanks for teaching me! And for the link for more info! npub1chsujl4vs0nf92g85yzyryausn5z2nyajrsg2z9edjev8lenffaqnqc4uz Matthew Duffy So that's how they do it. Fascinating! Thank you for the education! Is it the same characters with other socials? A question mark and then the s= and t= tags? npub1chsujl4vs0nf92g85yzyryausn5z2nyajrsg2z9edjev8lenffaqnqc4uz Matthew Duffy This also applies to elm trees, although Siberian Elm and Slippery Elm seem to be the best of them. npub1chsujl4vs0nf92g85yzyryausn5z2nyajrsg2z9edjev8lenffaqnqc4uz Matthew Duffy How does one remove a tracking ID after a URL? I'm not too tech knowledgeable, but I'm willing to learn. npub1chsujl4vs0nf92g85yzyryausn5z2nyajrsg2z9edjev8lenffaqnqc4uz Matthew Duffy Unless you're a nudist! 😄 npub1chsujl4vs0nf92g85yzyryausn5z2nyajrsg2z9edjev8lenffaqnqc4uz Matthew Duffy Thank you! 🙏🏼 npub1chsujl4vs0nf92g85yzyryausn5z2nyajrsg2z9edjev8lenffaqnqc4uz Matthew Duffy I am grateful for my family. Having them makes my daily labor in the fiat mines worth the time spent, and they make the hope in a better currency even more sweet. npub1chsujl4vs0nf92g85yzyryausn5z2nyajrsg2z9edjev8lenffaqnqc4uz Matthew Duffy Welcome! If you check out the #grownostr initiative you can find many different topics to follow. I've heard it's better to follow lots of people, and I've heard it's better to follow lots of # topics. 🤷♂️ Regardless, welcome to Nostr! Enjoy! npub1chsujl4vs0nf92g85yzyryausn5z2nyajrsg2z9edjev8lenffaqnqc4uz Matthew Duffy I have some too, though not nearly as much as you! npub1chsujl4vs0nf92g85yzyryausn5z2nyajrsg2z9edjev8lenffaqnqc4uz Matthew Duffy WOW! Where do you live to already have fruit on your trees? I'm in zone 9b in California's Sacramento Valley, and our mulberry trees are just leafing out. npub1chsujl4vs0nf92g85yzyryausn5z2nyajrsg2z9edjev8lenffaqnqc4uz Matthew Duffy Cool! Thank you! npub1chsujl4vs0nf92g85yzyryausn5z2nyajrsg2z9edjev8lenffaqnqc4uz Matthew Duffy How did you learn it all? Did you just get the book and read, or are there better ways? npub1chsujl4vs0nf92g85yzyryausn5z2nyajrsg2z9edjev8lenffaqnqc4uz Matthew Duffy May I humbly recommend Dick Taylor Craft Chocolate? They are made in Eureka, California. My wife and I found them on a little day trip there last year and we love the dark chocolate they make! https://dicktaylorchocolate.com/ npub1chsujl4vs0nf92g85yzyryausn5z2nyajrsg2z9edjev8lenffaqnqc4uz Matthew Duffy "Site can't be reached" ? Did it move? npub1chsujl4vs0nf92g85yzyryausn5z2nyajrsg2z9edjev8lenffaqnqc4uz Matthew Duffy Hello, and welcome! What drew me here is the decentralized nature of it. Check out the hash tag #grownostr to find people sharing all kinds of different content. Drop a line and get to know folks. 👋🏼 npub1chsujl4vs0nf92g85yzyryausn5z2nyajrsg2z9edjev8lenffaqnqc4uz Matthew Duffy Got it. That makes more sense. Thanks to both of you! npub1chsujl4vs0nf92g85yzyryausn5z2nyajrsg2z9edjev8lenffaqnqc4uz Matthew Duffy Relays delete content? I thought that was one of the things Nostr was supposed to be was undeleteable. I'm not a techy person so maybe I just don't know. npub1chsujl4vs0nf92g85yzyryausn5z2nyajrsg2z9edjev8lenffaqnqc4uz Matthew Duffy When people say #warcrimes they're putting the s in the wrong spot, and missing a letter. Because, really, #warIScrime npub1chsujl4vs0nf92g85yzyryausn5z2nyajrsg2z9edjev8lenffaqnqc4uz Matthew Duffy Homemade, or at a restaurant? Just wondering if it's the lentils you had an allergic reaction to, or something else in the soup. npub1chsujl4vs0nf92g85yzyryausn5z2nyajrsg2z9edjev8lenffaqnqc4uz Matthew Duffy This is actually quite a profound thought. Thank you @npub14hl…r6nl #nevent1q…z6zm npub1chsujl4vs0nf92g85yzyryausn5z2nyajrsg2z9edjev8lenffaqnqc4uz Matthew Duffy We must, indeed, all hang together or, most assuredly, we shall all hang separately. - Benjamin Franklin #nevent1q…8h8e npub1chsujl4vs0nf92g85yzyryausn5z2nyajrsg2z9edjev8lenffaqnqc4uz Matthew Duffy Welcome to Nostr! npub1chsujl4vs0nf92g85yzyryausn5z2nyajrsg2z9edjev8lenffaqnqc4uz Matthew Duffy "All the world's problems can be solved in a garden." - Geoff Lawton npub1chsujl4vs0nf92g85yzyryausn5z2nyajrsg2z9edjev8lenffaqnqc4uz Matthew Duffy When you say garden clients, what do you do? Can I DM you about this? npub1chsujl4vs0nf92g85yzyryausn5z2nyajrsg2z9edjev8lenffaqnqc4uz Matthew Duffy I'm replacing an electric one. Don't want the bill and hassle of changing to gas, and I hope to not live here too much longer anyways. npub1chsujl4vs0nf92g85yzyryausn5z2nyajrsg2z9edjev8lenffaqnqc4uz Matthew Duffy Are you also in California? I was just thinking that I hope I don't need a permission slip to replace my broken water heater; and what I would say if someone showed up while I was changing it. npub1chsujl4vs0nf92g85yzyryausn5z2nyajrsg2z9edjev8lenffaqnqc4uz Matthew Duffy In the past I haven't ever really planned my garden, mostly because it is so small. I'm going to use a digital service this year and try to be more effective in my growing. Happy gardening! npub1chsujl4vs0nf92g85yzyryausn5z2nyajrsg2z9edjev8lenffaqnqc4uz Matthew Duffy Can I throw an additional controversial opinion in here? Naturism (also known as nudism but there are some differences) can be a cure for both the men and women who are in this circumstance, and indeed can be a cure for many of these related problems. You might think I'm crazy, but hear me out. If people are comfortable and confident in their own skin to the point of being completely nude around other completely nude people of all ages, sexes, races, physical handicaps, physical appearances, etc. they are going to have some pretty good self-confidence that can't be taken away from them. They'll also not be too likely to be going and seeking attention through using their bodies because they'll know that naturism is not about being sexy, in fact it is just as non-sexy as going to the supermarket, or work, or church. Naturism teaches self-respect, respect for others, and respect for our environment. It has been used by many people to overcome problems with pornography, as well as self-loathing due to body dismorphia. Many religious people have found it to enhance their faith, and if one studies the core beliefs, naturism doesn't conflict with any at all. The need to be clothed at all times is just a societal construct that when overcome will free us of many issues like the one which you have brought up. Some good starting places for more research are aanr.com American Association for Nude Recreation bn.org.uk British Naturism naturistsociety.com The Naturist Society mychainsaregone.org A great website about being free from a pornographic mindset. npub1chsujl4vs0nf92g85yzyryausn5z2nyajrsg2z9edjev8lenffaqnqc4uz Matthew Duffy They have certainly added a wide range of genres to choose from, as well as the collector/adult level builds. Enjoy the never ending blooms! npub1chsujl4vs0nf92g85yzyryausn5z2nyajrsg2z9edjev8lenffaqnqc4uz Matthew Duffy Thank you! And may He bless you and yours as well! npub1chsujl4vs0nf92g85yzyryausn5z2nyajrsg2z9edjev8lenffaqnqc4uz Matthew Duffy I do too, obviously since I shared it. Ha! I like it because it shows that even in terrible circumstances peace can win the day. They were forced back into combat, but they had peace for a time, and of their own making. npub1chsujl4vs0nf92g85yzyryausn5z2nyajrsg2z9edjev8lenffaqnqc4uz Matthew Duffy The Christmas Truce of 1914 happened between obedient government agents on both sides of a terrible, mortal conflict. They realized that they had higher, shared interests and responsibilities to each other and humanity than their Caesarical overlords. Not many of us are in a bombs and bullets fight for our lives, but still we can choose to set aside our differences and conflicts, whatever they are, and embrace each other as the brothers and sisters that we are. The soldiers that exchanged gifts that Christmas were transfered and chastised, and the powers that were upped the ante of the conflict, making it even more gruesome and hellish than it had been. In the age of the internet, the powers that be can try to censor us, but I have hope that humanity will win. How can you have a Truce this Christmas? How can your Truce last more than just a single day? Be the change you want to see in the world.

Thanks for the zap! npub1chsujl4vs0nf92g85yzyryausn5z2nyajrsg2z9edjev8lenffaqnqc4uz Matthew Duffy Yeah, that's the conclusion I came to. I've been absent from nostr for awhile, so it seems like I joined a lot longer ago than only a half a year. npub1chsujl4vs0nf92g85yzyryausn5z2nyajrsg2z9edjev8lenffaqnqc4uz Matthew Duffy Forgive my ignorance... I found my stats there on nostr.band but do I just have to scroll all the way to the beginning until I find that "first active"? npub1chsujl4vs0nf92g85yzyryausn5z2nyajrsg2z9edjev8lenffaqnqc4uz Matthew Duffy I'm still not familiar with how to do much on nostr. How does one find their nostrversary? npub1chsujl4vs0nf92g85yzyryausn5z2nyajrsg2z9edjev8lenffaqnqc4uz Matthew Duffy Since it has that story of the family starting a tree nursery, is it a local calendar? If not could you share what calendar it is? I'd love to have something like that in my home. npub1chsujl4vs0nf92g85yzyryausn5z2nyajrsg2z9edjev8lenffaqnqc4uz Matthew Duffy I'd also like to mention that the person who said "It is better to be a warrior in a garden than a gardener in a war." clearly never heard of Sam Gamgee. npub1chsujl4vs0nf92g85yzyryausn5z2nyajrsg2z9edjev8lenffaqnqc4uz Matthew Duffy I hate the political system we have in the U.S.A. so for awhile I've been contemplating creating a new political party, not expecting victory but just wanting to raise awareness. Tonight, I just came up with a couple of great campaign slogans. The Garden Party. G et A R eal L eader I n C harge Democrats are like DDT, Republicans are like Roundup. npub1chsujl4vs0nf92g85yzyryausn5z2nyajrsg2z9edjev8lenffaqnqc4uz Matthew Duffy This is so wonderful!

An old quarry? npub1chsujl4vs0nf92g85yzyryausn5z2nyajrsg2z9edjev8lenffaqnqc4uz Matthew Duffy Just found this song on YouTube. Here's to all the solid men out there.

I'm sure that's the case for the Rolex too. npub1chsujl4vs0nf92g85yzyryausn5z2nyajrsg2z9edjev8lenffaqnqc4uz Matthew Duffy I'm interested too. Curious how it will look here. npub1chsujl4vs0nf92g85yzyryausn5z2nyajrsg2z9edjev8lenffaqnqc4uz Matthew Duffy That's pretty cool. Of course it's all fermentation, but I never would have thought to be able to start a ginger flavored drink with a flour based starter. I'll give it a try sometime. Thanks! npub1chsujl4vs0nf92g85yzyryausn5z2nyajrsg2z9edjev8lenffaqnqc4uz Matthew Duffy Sourdough started ginger beer? That sounds interesting. I've made ginger beer, but just use brewer's yeast. How do you start it with sourdough? npub1chsujl4vs0nf92g85yzyryausn5z2nyajrsg2z9edjev8lenffaqnqc4uz Matthew Duffy I grew up in Utah but my dad is from California, so when I moved out it was to northern California to live among extended family here. There was a state wide, weekend long church function for the young singles that I didn't want to go to but everyone else was so I figured what the heck, and I caught a ride. My wife was about five months out from her divorce and didn't want to go either, but was supporting her sisters who were going. Now, I'm basically deaf without hearing aids and was studying sign language so naturally when I arrived I wanted to find anyone else who is Deaf or using ASL, and I found them. My now wife was also just starting to learn ASL so she was there in that circle too. We got in line for dinner and started chatting, but got split up. At the end of the night my ride was leaving but I made the excuse that I needed to go to the bathroom before the three hour drive, but I was looking for her too. She had left the building but came back in for some reason and was, coincidentally, right by the bathrooms. I found her, got her information, and after almost three and a half years of dating we got married, and now seven and a half years later we've added three more kids to the two she already had. Lots of divine intervention, but we fit each other so well, so we figure He knows what He's doing. npub1chsujl4vs0nf92g85yzyryausn5z2nyajrsg2z9edjev8lenffaqnqc4uz Matthew Duffy 😆 npub1chsujl4vs0nf92g85yzyryausn5z2nyajrsg2z9edjev8lenffaqnqc4uz Matthew Duffy Welcome Roy! I'm still new myself, but it's a good community here. npub1chsujl4vs0nf92g85yzyryausn5z2nyajrsg2z9edjev8lenffaqnqc4uz Matthew Duffy I mean technically it doesn't say zero daughters, it just says 7 sons. 😉 My wife is one of 7 daughters and their parents had 4 sons too. npub1chsujl4vs0nf92g85yzyryausn5z2nyajrsg2z9edjev8lenffaqnqc4uz Matthew Duffy Did you ever find out? I'd like to know too. npub1chsujl4vs0nf92g85yzyryausn5z2nyajrsg2z9edjev8lenffaqnqc4uz Matthew Duffy I don't keep up on the news, where is this government prohibition on encryption? npub1chsujl4vs0nf92g85yzyryausn5z2nyajrsg2z9edjev8lenffaqnqc4uz Matthew Duffy Despite the nanny surveillance state that I now live in, I am profoundly grateful to the 56 men who signed the Declaration of Independence and the unknown thousands who fought for freedom from the crown; as well as the unknown millions who have fought for the ideals of liberty ever since. May we each fight for our own freedoms and liberty, every day and every way. God speed, and happy Independence Day! 🎆 #grownostr #freedom #liberty npub1chsujl4vs0nf92g85yzyryausn5z2nyajrsg2z9edjev8lenffaqnqc4uz Matthew Duffy 'When life hands you lemons', there's a variety of paths you can take. There's the usual 'make lemonade', but is that lemonade only for you, or are you starting a for-profit lemonade stand? What about baking a lemon meringue pie? You could slice it and let your kids lick it and enjoy the pucker face they get. You could just throw the lemons away. If you let them sit around long enough, they'll mold and rot. What if, after squeezing the juice out of the lemons life handed to you, you plant the seeds and grow a few lemon trees? Then, after a few seasons, you harvest a whole bunch of lemons and grow your lemon empire. Whoever said money doesn't grow on trees must never have had the lesson of the lemon. #grownostr #shadetreephilosophy npub1chsujl4vs0nf92g85yzyryausn5z2nyajrsg2z9edjev8lenffaqnqc4uz Matthew Duffy 'When life hands you lemons', there's a variety of paths you can take.

We believe that Jesus Christ is the savior of all mankind, and the only way back to live with the Father. npub1chsujl4vs0nf92g85yzyryausn5z2nyajrsg2z9edjev8lenffaqnqc4uz Matthew Duffy I purchased one last year. I think I'm right on the edge of a zone that it's good to grow in, since I'm in the central valley of California. It's still small and I haven't seen any fruit yet. Thanks for sharing about them! npub1chsujl4vs0nf92g85yzyryausn5z2nyajrsg2z9edjev8lenffaqnqc4uz Matthew Duffy That's a great point, to not want to come to hate your hobby. Thanks for sharing all that! npub1chsujl4vs0nf92g85yzyryausn5z2nyajrsg2z9edjev8lenffaqnqc4uz Matthew Duffy So basically just growing on your own land, and selling the excess of what you and your family can't eat or preserve? Besides the tomatoes do you plan to increase the size of your operation? npub1chsujl4vs0nf92g85yzyryausn5z2nyajrsg2z9edjev8lenffaqnqc4uz Matthew Duffy After seeing it a few times and musing over it for a couple days (yeah, I'm slow sometimes) I figured out what the fiat mines are. And here I am at my mine of choice. Happy Saturday, y'all. #fiatmines #grownostr npub1chsujl4vs0nf92g85yzyryausn5z2nyajrsg2z9edjev8lenffaqnqc4uz Matthew Duffy May I ask how you got started? I want to grow for market too. npub1chsujl4vs0nf92g85yzyryausn5z2nyajrsg2z9edjev8lenffaqnqc4uz Matthew Duffy I use Brave. npub1chsujl4vs0nf92g85yzyryausn5z2nyajrsg2z9edjev8lenffaqnqc4uz Matthew Duffy This needs to be flown on a banner behind planes flying cross country following the interstate highways, and in every major metropolitan area #nevent1q…hn77 npub1chsujl4vs0nf92g85yzyryausn5z2nyajrsg2z9edjev8lenffaqnqc4uz Matthew Duffy Thanks for the zap! I finally got a wallet and connected Nostr to it, so you're the first. I hope those links are helpful! One of them also talks about how Purslane is edible. npub1chsujl4vs0nf92g85yzyryausn5z2nyajrsg2z9edjev8lenffaqnqc4uz Matthew Duffy Here's a couple of links I found that talk about look-alikes. https://www.growforagecookferment.com/foraging-purslane/#:~:text=Purslane%20Look%2DAlikes,be%20careful%20in%20their%20identification. https://backgarden.org/purslane-look-alikes/ npub1chsujl4vs0nf92g85yzyryausn5z2nyajrsg2z9edjev8lenffaqnqc4uz Matthew Duffy It looks like Common Purslane to me, but that could be wrong. npub1chsujl4vs0nf92g85yzyryausn5z2nyajrsg2z9edjev8lenffaqnqc4uz Matthew Duffy My primary concern is how much is given in such short order. I also don't like how certain vaccines are pushed despite their 100% not being needed for the baby. An example is I believe it is hepatitis c, a sexually transmitted disease, that if the woman doesn't have it she can't pass it to the baby and the baby won't be sexually active for almost 2 decades. Just like circumcision, I believe many infant vaccines are pushed so hard so the hospital and doctors can get money. I don't have any links currently, but there are groups dedicated to this. npub1chsujl4vs0nf92g85yzyryausn5z2nyajrsg2z9edjev8lenffaqnqc4uz Matthew Duffy How about BTDT? Meaning Been There Done That. Somewhat like R2-D2 from Star Wars, just no numbers. I'm not great at naming things either, that's just what randomly came to mind. It's a great looking van! Y'all are going to have some great memories with it! npub1chsujl4vs0nf92g85yzyryausn5z2nyajrsg2z9edjev8lenffaqnqc4uz Matthew Duffy @npub1587…kv0n has been called the pepper whisperer. He has a podcast called The Survival Podcast that you can search for his garden episodes and he gives his whole fertility regimen to make things grow great. It may not be pepper specific, but definitely worth looking into! npub1chsujl4vs0nf92g85yzyryausn5z2nyajrsg2z9edjev8lenffaqnqc4uz Matthew Duffy We raise meat rabbits too. We haven't ever done the keychain thing though. Is it worth the money? I mean sure the rabbit feet are essentially free, but how much time does it take to do them? Maybe a side hustle idea for my older kids. npub1chsujl4vs0nf92g85yzyryausn5z2nyajrsg2z9edjev8lenffaqnqc4uz Matthew Duffy My failure was in noticing the marks actually on the photos themselves. I thought it was something in the metadata files that I couldn't figure out how to find so I kinda gave up. I'm super intrigued with what Phil found though, and props to you Phil for figuring it out. I'd be fascinated by seeing another puzzle. npub1chsujl4vs0nf92g85yzyryausn5z2nyajrsg2z9edjev8lenffaqnqc4uz Matthew Duffy It is a dance. It is a wrestle. It's being the director of a complex play. I love your writing style, in particular your post previous to this one about the moon being your confidant. May God bless you on your journey of self discovery and discovering who to include in those more precious parts of your story! npub1chsujl4vs0nf92g85yzyryausn5z2nyajrsg2z9edjev8lenffaqnqc4uz Matthew Duffy This really is how most people lived for most of human history. Insurance today may serve its purpose from time to time in extreme circumstances, but self sufficiency really is the way to go. #nevent1q…zfl5 npub1chsujl4vs0nf92g85yzyryausn5z2nyajrsg2z9edjev8lenffaqnqc4uz Matthew Duffy I don't have a wallet loaded up and connected yet (next thing to learn). I'm currently in the communist occupied state of California.
