Morning Glorys are nearly impossible to get rid of. 5 years ago I ripped out all the Morning Glorys that had taken over one of my fences, I’m still fighting to keep them down. They have a bazillion seeds, and even years later they continue to sprout!

One treatment of Weed Be Gone won’t do it. It takes repeated treatments & I think you have to get them before they mature.
I am not suggesting that you do this, but massive sprinklings with lawn treatment with included weed killer should do it. Of course it kills the grass, so I’m just sayin that it would probably work, but the place could look worse.

I’ve gotten several emails from BNP fans who are upset about my “biased” coverage of them. This came from the Czech Republic:

Interesting how when you report about the BNP, you call them “Holocaust
deniers” yet fail to mention that Nick Griffin has repeatedly recanted
any “revisionist” statements he may have made and has brought Jewish
members into the BNP. No one can force you to like the BNP, but your
bias and lack of objectivity and fairness is all too clear. Recall that
just a few a years ago, the UK establishment tried to put Griffin away
for SEVEN YEARS for declaring in a closed meeting that Islam was “a
wicked religion” and that the next attacks on British soil would be
carried out by UK-born Muslims (He turned out to be absolutely correct.)
So who is the true fascist here? Add to this the incredible PC hate laws
in the UK, which cause even preschoolers to be hauled before the police
for alleged racism and others to be arrested merely for flying the flag
of St. George. England is turning into a police state, with more
surveillance cameras than anywhere in the world. You don”t live there,
you don
t know your arse from your elbow. Why not read the BNP website
sometime, and get the OTHER side of the story? Just today, Nick Griffin
was violently attacked by “Antifa” thugs as he tried to watch election
results. Who is the real fascist here?

And with her Eckhard Tolle (sp?) proselytizing, she has her New Age religion on as well. Creepy. I disagree with her immensely, but I have a lot of respect for her. I really hope that she doesn’t get Michael Jackson’s disease, wherein no matter how screwed up you are, nobody you talk to ever tells you.

The pizza place with the autographed photo of Sinatra under the Brooklyn Bridge?

not a bad spot at all…

Futurama returns!

re: #190 Flyers1974

Its one thing to worship a celeb, quite another to actually implement whatever scheme they are advocating, especially when that scheme requires effort. That’s my hope anyway.

You would hope so, but Oprah does have influence, exhibit one Obama.
She was the first out there for him & got a lot of her fans to the polls

Boy you have had some issues haven’t you? What kind of machine are you trying to install Vista on?

New fangled pizza oven.

re: #182 Catttt

I’m reinstalling my damn Windows Vista 32 and waiting for my damn pizza.

‘guess this isn’t the time to tell you I sent a note to your You Tube message box………..

re: #176 quickjustice

Depp likes challenging roles. I don’t think he’s done a dentist yet, however.

And if the dentist didn’t want to be done, that would be a challenging role, indeed.

This made me chuckle.

re #58 wrenchwench - avatar,
I’m guessing Eastern Fence Lizard.

That’s my best guess too. But you have to flip ‘em over to be sure, and we didn’t catch this one. We have several in the yard (the avatar one was way out in the woods) and they vary somewhat in color, from brown to gray. The males have blue on the bottom. Sunday I saw one with an orange chin with a blue triangle on it, in the neighbor’s yard.

I don’t know if she has the power to change her viewers’ political affiliations from Democrat to Republican or vice versa (and I’m guessing those viewers are mostly Democrats given my assumption that she is viewed by many as a Black leader). I could see her being able to influence her viewers to go for Obama over Clinton in the primaries. And if my assumption is correct that her viewers are majority black, they would have voted for Obama in the presidential election anyway, for historical reasons, in my opinion. I guess the question is, can Oprah or someone like her influence a sizable group of people to do anything more involved than buying this or that book or buying this or that sweater, etc…

re: #175 Catttt

TV is not an issue - I almost never turn the TV on. It’s the Internet portion I use, and there are no other options for me. It normally works ok, but I recently got a Juniper box from work (I telecommute), and it’s created a domino effect of disaster.

Sorry to hear that. It’s fun to be in a position of power with an ISP. Makes ‘em KYA!

Okay. Creepy. That looks exactly like my fence and my ravenous bastard Morning Glory.

Advice to fellow lizards — never EVER plant a Morning Glory in the ground. You will regret it and your neighbors will hate you.

I didn’t plant mine, btw. The people who lived here before me did. I imagine them flipping me off every time I look at the evil thing.

re: #203 kynna

No kidding? My neighbor gave me a saucer filled with morning glory seeds that I’ve been to lazy to plant yet. You are saying they are invasive, I take it?

Wow! Great photo, I’m always jealous of the photography Charles. I wish i visited earlier, I also have a Nikon D90, and I was wondering if any other lizards have the same problem as I, the F-Stop flashes, and I have to unclick the lense(unscrew?) and relock the 18-105mm AF-S DX Nikkor lens, very annoying. On a side note, taking out the trash I bumped into it, causing it to crash to the floor, breaking one of the plastic tabs on the lense…argh, nothing that money can’t fix.

i love purple morning glories.
and heavenly blue morning glories.

Kudzu. They are gorgeous kudzu.

If you want to plant them, make sure you do it in a container and set them climbing on something that won’t come in contact with any other plants or soil. They grow like crazy, so they’re very high maintenance. If you’re into that, you can have a beautiful vine with the most gorgeous flowers that bloom very heavily. But let it go even a little and you’ve got problems.

Google “Morning Glory” and you’ll see all kinds of gardening sites with questions about getting rid of the stuff. It has to be pulled out (which causes it to spread if you don’t do part 2 of the plan) and then broad leaf weed killer (IIRC) sprayed, and then the entire area of soil covered so absolutely no sunlight gets to it for a period of months.

It. Is. Evil. o_O

re: #207 kynna

I have no desire to deal with high maintenance flowers. I’m taking your advice. Thanks.

re: #208 Flyers1974

No problem. Glad to do my part to halt the spread of this insidious botanical menace. ;D
