Would that be like his oil buddy Hamm who he made his senior energy advisor? Speaking of which, Romney has a new plan to have us completely energy independent by 2020. He's going to turn drilling leases on federal property over to the states AND roll back regulations. This from a man who once...

Do we have to fight? Can't we just let Texas secede? And who votes to let Arizona go with them?

You forgot to count housekeeping.

If you define "better off" by living standards, I'm afraid that the Scandinavian countries have higher living standards, on average, than we do. I assume you consider Sweden and Norway to be socialist. Switzerland has the highest average of all countries. One of the Arab countries comes in at...

In the old days, yeah, doctors were put in jail, or whoever was performing them, frequently they were not doctors. Women could be but I don't remember that happening too often. More often women became ill or died giving themselves/getting illegal abortions. If they pass a "personhood" bill...

The $716 billion comes from reduced payments to providers. Private insurers have negotiated some rates with providers that are at lower levels than Medicare. Interesting piece of trivia: Medicare funds 96% of the subsidies (wages) paid to physicians during internship/residency. Until last...

Ryan says that Medicare won't be affected for those who are 55 and older. I'm 54, been paying in for 40 years now, am I supposed to feel better? Why would current beneficiaries think they should get more benefits while paying less? Ryan also hasn't said how he will fund Medicare once it runs...

Bugs...... spider mites. Look at undersides of leaves with 30x magnification. The buggers can't be seen with any less. They also look like they've been eating a little too much nitrogen. They're a little darker green than you want. I don't have much experience yet but I've found organic...

It could be bugs, not sure. Is the Neem helping? Any damage already done is permanent but if its mites the Neem Oil should be at least helping to control new spots, leaf yellowing, and damage from appearing. Sometimes you'll see webs too. If you can get a hold of a microscope or something...

I say Dankskank nailed it the first time with saying you have spider mites. I'm currently trying to win the war against them myself. You can't see them even with a magnifying glass, at least the ones I have. I've read you need at least 30x mag to see some of them. I'd get a good...

Looks like magnesium deficiency. Look at pictures in sticky posts and I think you'll agree. The darker green veins with lighter green in between is the tell, your first picture looks like it could be the poster child. Other possibility is Zinc deficiency but magnesium is a much more common...

I'm sorry but I have to disagree with the alcohol suggestion. While boric acid will react in ethanol to form water and a soluble salt, only the water evaporates off while the boron salt will be left behind. It's chemistry. Also, borax is not the same as boric acid. Commercial laundry borax...

Boric acid is recommended on this forum as the remedy for boron deficiency. So, if your plants get a boron deficiency and you have to treat it, do you have to pitch the plants? Boric acid is used as an eye wash. Lime is also caustic if inhaled. So is lye, I believed used for pH up, and...

Spider mites? See https://www.rollitup.org/marijuana-plant-problems/553977-challenge-who-can-diagnose-plant.html

Only two souls brave enough to attempt to make a diagnosis??? This was a hard one, granted, why I posted it. I thought some people might like the challenge and to test their diagnostic skills. I knew saying I didn't see any bugs with the magnifying glass would throw people off, same as it...

This is a test of general growing knowledge, for those who pine for their days back in school, studying drugs, sex, and alcohol. :-P The following plant is 4 months old, grown indoors in soil, with one other plant who made the fatal mistake of being a male and is gone. This is the first time...

I agree with everything you wrote. Further, I think that as long as I'm not hurting anybody else, its none of the government's business what drugs I want to take or what I do to my body. I think its ridiculous that drugs are illegal and that our society is spending so much money putting people...

The safest assumption, as I used to tell my students, is that anything posted on the Internet may come back to bite you in the butt. You never know how long servers keep information, or how willing they are to turn it over if asked. The DOJ requests an incredible amount of information each...

I thought he looked a bit odd for a pit bull, but couldn't quite put my finger on it. There's lots of skanky pit bulls (not that don't still love 'em all) around that look different but your dog didn't look like one of them, he looks pure-bred (and well-bred). Damn Latin men, they're all the...

No, I never considered it might be an outdoor strain. I didn't know there were outdoor strains. I have a feeling the bag seed IS part of the problem, out of six seeds, only two sprouted, and the other one was major problems (sure hope so anyways). But she has looked good in the past. I...
