Comment on Flowering Aloe Vera by JoAnne

I haven’t read anywhere what to do with the tall aloe stem. Is it supposed to just stay there or does it get trimmed off? My blooms are on the way out, so would like to know what to do now.

I saw a wild turkey (not the beverage) in our woods for the first time since we moved here 9 1/2 years ago. Might be a wild turkey invasion in the making! Keep a watchful eye!

I certainly will. Though not as smart as crows, they’ve got a lot more on the ball than they’re given credit for. They’ve already invaded here. Perhaps they’re angling for their rightful title as the National Bird.

It’s Surmontil 50s. The script has it wrong. Probably couldn’t understand him from the awful sound recording. You’d have thought George Harrison would have had it done better.

Thanks for clearing that up smokinfish. Sounds like just the sort of medication our man Withnail would love. When that line is uttered, I believe, the boys have their backs to the camera, about to enter the restaurant.

Sign me up for one of those “Understand” buttons!

Will do Pied. I could use one right on top of my head. I would be pushing that button all day, like the rats in the experiment with the lever connected to their “pleasure centers”.

Dreams can be amazing. Sometimes I dream I’m back on the submarine, which I left in 1977. Haven’t seen any turkeys recently in the yard, but they are still in the area. Our weather is a bit different than yours. It’s finally warmed up and I mowed the yard for the first time yesterday.

Yes, Mike, dreams are amazing all right. I often dream of the last big city in which I lived back in 1975, Portland, OR. Even though I was only there for a couple of years, it was a very formative time in my life. Many firsts.

Warm here now too. Finally. But too dry. We need some rain.

What a great dream– thanks for sharing it. I want an ‘understand’ button for insurance, taxes and my sister-in-law. And a cut and paste tool for my house. I did have a nice flying dream recently. But no entertaining turkeys.

Thanks for commenting linniew. You’re so right, “UNDERSTAND” buttons should be on EVERYTHING. I haven’t had a flying dream in years, but sometimes I feel like I’m flying when riding my bicycle.

I also “get it”, obv. I’m not leaving as such, at least not yet. I’m sorry you are going. Check in once in a blue moon. That’s what I’m doing. I’ll miss you mate. You’re a good bloke.

That’s a very nice comment S Le. Thank you so much. I’ll try to remain a good bloke, and will check in when the moon is blue. Cheers!

That’s right. In Spain they call this las despedidas largas: long partings.

Sometimes these take very long. That’s a fact often not foreseen.

And in English there is even a standard song to accompany ceremonies of this kind, and the song has a Scottish title so that, as they also say in Spanish, not even God can remember it..

OK, now I’d like to know what that Scottish song might sound like …
