I like that Italian coin...very much in keeping with the monumental Fascist design aesthetic of the time. I found a few more Irish coins, pre-/post-decimalization. http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/ii249/spoon99/money/scan0007moreirishcoins.jpg Some banknotes are a little weird...50 francs from Fra...

There are certainly differences between cats and dogs, and dogs are probably in the long run more friendly, but I'm a cat person all the way. Cats have earned an undeserved reputation as being aloof and solitary, when in reality many of them are extremely friendly and need constant love from their ...

U.S. Quarters - The Good, The Bad and The Ugly
I applaud the U.S. Mint for loosening their rules a bit and starting this program. Unfortunately, most of the designs were pretty bad. Saving the (few) good for the last, here are the (mostly) bad & ugly/tacky/horrendous: My home state of Wisconsin was dishonest...where is the big frothy mug of ...

Peter, apologies for hijacking your thread a bit. I always keep a few coins (and banknotes, if they're nice) from my travels...mostly pre-euro era. Irish coins are beautiful for their simplicity, pictures of animals that almost look primitive: http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/ii249/spoon99/money/s...

Do you grow your grandma's succulents?
I've picked up a few plants that my grandma used to grow, out of nostalgia and as kind of a tribute. So far, Ceropegia woodii, Ledebouria socialis, and now Cissus quadrangularis. These old-fashioned plants are invariably of easy growth, and always have colorful names, like String of Hearts, Leopard ...

Someone shrunk my sunroom! Last year I had no problems whatsoever in fitting all of my euphorbias into my sunroom, with room to spare. This year? No such luck -- I still have about 50 plants on the floor to find room for: http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/ii249/spoon99/Plants/IMG_0984sunroom.jpg Pa...

We are here to PLUMP you up (Lithops)
Apologies for the outdated SNL almost-quote :) I haven't watered my little pot of beginner lithops since spring, but gave them one drink about a month ago, and another about a week ago. Now most of them are growing about an inch above the soil, and some show signs of overwatering. I'm surprised beca...
