Biography

Chronic reader, creative dreamer, a LOT of hand skills to make things real, intense health issues that limit my activity, but not my creativity or dreams. Moved to southern Missouri with enough tools and junk to build a life that might work well with my health. One of god’s gigglers, I punctuate with smiley faces and exclamation points when I type, and smile and laugh a lot in real life. (Often at things no one else understands.) And I both curtsy at people (even when wearing grubby work clothes) and purr when hugged, both online and in real life. “Normal” is not a word that has ever been used for me.
Been organic gardening all my life, and bought 4 acres that I have designed from the ground up. Making it happen is being the most fun I have ever had in my life, the best 3D jigsaw puzzle ever! Reading Mollison’s Designer’s Manual was like coming home, ah, THERE I am! A reality where I can use all of my multifaceted talents and skills!
Dumpster diver, recycler, second hand store shopper, I tell people I am attracted to rust and lace. I have violated every warranty I have ever met, I’m a tool using animal, and I use my tools to modify everything in my world. And it only gets weirder...
Bricolage: something constructed or created from a diverse range of available things. Adding ier to a french word means one who does that activity. I am a bricolagier, the things I do are all made of a wide range of things that I have acquired from diverse places.

What's the hardest language to speak?


Sign language. No one has managed to speak it yet!

They squared off, determined to fight it out. One guy pulls a shiny evil looking sword out, the spectators gasped!
The other didn't look intimidated at all, he reached down and pulled out a hunk of cheese, the spectators were stunned!
"How do you think you are going to fight me with a block of cheese?" "It's extra sharp!"

A silly story: When I was living in a van I got takeout from a salad bar, ate some, had the rest by my bed. It got dark, something over there was glowing in the dark!! Turn on a light, the rest of my salad. Turned it off, glowing. Turned it on, the PEAS!!! I had some peas, they must not have been very fresh, tasted ok, but apparently had some kind of bacteria on them that glowed!!
I didn't eat the rest of the peas. Ate the rest of the salad :D

For equally weird reasons, I found out that dry orange lentils on the shelf glow under UV too!

Might have to go check everything, see what else glows :D  I have 2 UV flashlights, tomato worms glow under it and that's the fast way to eliminate them.

The current solar storm was not predicted to do much. It’s currently doing a lot. I don’t know if it will continue to stay high, but it’s worth checking for lights tonight, might be an unexpected show.

A silly story about frogs in places....
I worked at a greenhouse, there were snakes and frogs. The frogs were fun, they got into stupid places. We called them all Freddy the (location) frog. So there was Freddy the Fridge Frog, Freddy the Faucet Frog, Freddy the Door Frog...

You have Freddy the Potty Frog!   :D

Well, if you are the kind of frog who wants to go up on the roof to see what's there, I can see wanting to go down the pipe to see what's there too. And water aint a dealbreaker for them...

Exploring frogs! Vent stacks, the final frontier!! (cue music)

In my neck of the woods that would be a tree frog. They climb up windows, cars, and anything. They can go totally upside down, so he could have easily gotten up there, and vent stack is easy climbing.

Why is not a matter I know of, maybe the smells and heat attract some insects. Or it's out of the wind and might be a nice place to hide when it's cold.
