I also recently learned that oatmeal is a type of porridge. idk if i ever thought about porridge much or what i thought it was but I wouldve said i had never eaten it until now.

Cameron, you are a strange, strange person! :D

Hi! *waves* I am suppose to be sleeping, but instead my neighbor is having me play taxi. Would have been nice to know her plans yesterday, so I could have done things differently. Not sure how I am going to make it tonight at work (more the hour and a half drive home) with four hours sleep.

Be careful on your drive home.

Good morning. We will be at least 100 the next few days. My cherry tomato plant is not liking it! I moved it twice and now it’s in full shade. I water it 2x a day I wonder if that’s too much?
Can you trim the plant? It has a few heavy branches.

A couple years ago my S-I-L bought one of those upside-down hangers for tomato plants. It worked great!

Tomato plants are supposed to be staked. They make those round wire cages for them because of the heavy branches. I wouldn't cut them off because then you're limiting your yield.

I have a wire cage but it quickly outgrew it. I’m using two chairs to holding up the branch.

Yeah, the small tomatoes are the worst. Tiny tomatoes but huge plants!

Next time you plant tomatoes take a 5 gallon bucket with the lid. Make 4 tiny holes on the sides at the bottom of the bucket, at north, south, east and west, and put wire through the holes. This will be what you use to hang the bucket (upside down), so make the wire length accordingly. Drill a hole about 2" in the center of the bottom of the bucket (this will be for watering) Cut a hole in the lid about 3" diameter and drill small holes all around the top edge of the bucket. Fill the bucket with potting soil. Plant your tomato plant in the dirt then gently feed it through the hole in the lid and pack the lid on tightly. Hang the bucket upside down. No more need to stake because gravity takes care of the plant.

Now Goldfish Crackers might be unsafe to eat? “Ritz and Goldfish crackers among the growing list of related food recalls for possible salmonella contamination” I’ve always thought of goldfish more a carp fish not a fish from the salmon family … sarcastically speaking …

Yesterday, when I took my car in for it's oil change, they said I needed new wipers. I pretty much use them every morning for the dew, so I knew they weren't streaking. This morning guess what... streaks. Seems like this always happens.
