Growing onions.

I picked up some bulbs to plant alone with the cucumbers and tomatoes. I live in the Deep South, not quite as Georgia, but good enough.

Here is my question - if you plant a bulb, how many onions do you get out of it? I'm sure it is a silly question, but as a novice I've hunted high and low for information.

I'm putting together a box to donate to a shelter

People need shoes, they need work clothes and they can always use socks.

The poor can always use an old suit for one reason or another, and they certainly can use fresh underwear.

Just a thought.

Interesting: a list of phobias

I found this one to be interesting:

Bufonophobia- Fear of toads.

Just so you know I'm not making fun of people, I have a BLAZING one. I can't be in the room if I spot a cockroach (and probably ran screaming from the location) until I can come back with enough bug spray to kill a zombie.

I'm well aware that isn't an eco-friendly position, but when it comes to cockroaches, I lose it because of my terror of the damn things.

Where are you on this list?

Okay deer just walked down the street

Huge ungulates merrily went up the road. WTF? I might not be cut out for semi-rural life.

I got really disgusted by that rape post.

Here's a little story:

Yes, women can be raped by other women.

my post:

"Yep, sure can. A 5'3" 100 lbs. woman that drank a bit and found herself fondled and penetrated by a 5'10 160 lbs. female soccer player found that out. You can get grabbed and /// then you are supposed to let it go because you drank a beer after you and your coworker and her wife went home, but coworker crashed out.

Her wife, however, wasn't finished with the night."

To put in context, here is my post in the bigger picture of the thread.

Woo hoo, I actually have some seedlings sprouting

Forgive me for being excited about seeing actual green things poke through the soil, but I have been far from successful at growing plants. I wanted to do it, though, and now I have 28 out of 36 different plants (4 Cucumbers and 24, half beefsteak, half brandywine tomatoes) sprouting! My tabasco peppers haven't peeked through yet, but they take a bit longer.

Who would have thought a brown thumb like me could get something to actually sprout? I'll be ecstatic if I can set them out and get them to actually GROW and bear fruit!

This isn't exactly a natural disaster

but I got bitten by a raccoon a few months ago. I get freaked out when I have to go outside at night. I know it sounds stupid, but I had a full blown panic attack.

I know people like to make fun, but they don't realize how horribly this incident has affected me. It left me with $18,000 in medical bills, and I get scared when I need to go outside at night because something might dart up on me.

How do I make the panic attacks go away?

Sometimes, it is the minor things that you do for other people that mean so much.

My dad went to some auction and got a white baseball cap with a huge red crawfish on it. He gave it to me. It fits like a glove, and I love it.

It was a freebie, but it was so neat that he thought of me to hand it over.

Remember, the smallest gestures you do for those you love, often mean the most!

EDIT POST: I care, now, and it is more fun than it was at the beginning!!!
