Don't know the first thing about Russian pro hockey players - would that be ice hockey??? Wasn't there a movie about the Mighty Ducks or something - about my limit where ice hockey is concerned. We would be a bit like the Jamaican Bobsled Team - love that movie too.
If you watch anything on slaughter it is sickening, so many countries just don't care. We have big yells happening here with our sheep and cattle and they are trying to ban live exports because of it.
Indonesia was the latest to cop it, but they argue Halal, etc. We use Halal methods here because of the burgeoning population of Muslims, actually I think the method is the same, it just has to do with the right people saying the right words at the right time.

Just love the smell of sausages cooking but they are just too fatty for me and I end up feeling quite off if I eat one.

I cooked them and cut them up and topped a salad with them. I think olldcan, you are going to have to define what is hitting the sack and what is passing out.
Want to create a cottage garden in front of my house Q. I live on Cape Cod where I aim for a country garden feel and have found that perennials are my best bet, for ease as well as dependability. I use astilbe, daisies, Stella Doro day lilies, hostas, Black-eyed Susans, and coneflowers.

I can't believe an 11 pounder can handle it the way she does!
She likes chocolate with orange by the way. One year she tore apart an Adventist calendar, one day at a time. We are so fortunate her little heart has made it. This year I will be extra careful. Sign me no chocolate at our house please. We love her, pain that she can be. Ok,, I admit, that actually is sort of nerdy. Propagation of ajuga by division is an operation for early spring or fall.

Because of the short season from last spring frost to first fall frost, plants have a limited time to do what they do, grow, leaf out, flower, fruit and produce seed. The gardener's job is to avoid unnecessary interference and to help the plant look and perform its best, when possible.
