The solution is CHICKEN WIRE! I'm wrapping each plant individually today. The bastards chewed up more leaves last night despite the cayenne. I REALLY AM doing this right now!!

My cab plants are doing great. Oh, I got a new camera, the Sony Cybershot, I love it! The best part is that it was GIVEN to me. My best friend found it on the bench near her shop, just laying there. No way to identify the owner, nobody else around at the time. She had just bought herself a new camera, so she gave this one to me. It's in perfect shape and it retails for around $300. Has an awesome zoom. I have to buy a cable for it and then I'll take cab pics. This must be a sign that the universe wants me to photograph my plants!! :D

My main computer where I have the vast majority of my pictures (including the most recent) has taken a major dump on me. Five good years, and now I may have a major hardware failure. :( Please, let me be able to get some of the data off of there (like my resume and other documents that I REALLY need!).

500gigs? Damn... what, as "spare"?

Long story short, I broke my Gnome GUI. I don't use POP3 mail accounts, so I didn't want Evolution and all the updates that go along with. So, off I go into Synaptic package manager and I get rid of EVERYTHING Evolution. And then it broke. :lol: :| Seriously, though, when I was Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon I was able to get rid of all Evolution with no issues. This last time it got rid of my games. wtf? The games are tied to the same Evolution files, directories, or drivers? :?

In the meantime, I have less than 10G free space on my Linux partition. I've still got a little under 20G that I dedicated to Win2K (which is breaking, good thing I found the disk, even though I've gotten to hate wiping Windows drives to reinstall, at least I've gotten good at it)(except when I forget to do something :oops:) Either way, it kind of doesn't explain why I couldn't boot into Windows, either, if all I'd done was broken my Gnome, yet it rebooted into Winders just fine. wtf.

Yeah, I could be in the market for a few gigs. Shoot me a pm. :)

*Littlebat sings the praises of her Macbook*

When I was writing my master's thesis, my hard drive crashed. Luckily I had backed it up on disk but I lost 10 pages. I remember just standing there in the middle of the floor yelling, "NO! NO! NOOOO!" like if I just stood there and yelled at it long enough it would straighten up and start working again.

Seriously, Seamaiden, that blows...first your plants and now this?!? Damn, woman, I'm sending you some good vibes from across the country...I'm smoking a bowl for you!!

And bigspud, I have two cats, and the squirrels remain brazen. HOWEVER...my neighbor and I developed a theory last night that it COULD be his cat instead! He's a waiter so he works late and comes home and lets her out on the terrace (we share, privacy fence between us but we leave the gate open so the cats can roam about) and it's only happening at night that my plants are getting eaten. I'm usually in bed by the time he comes in so I don't see her out there. Just a theory but it could be true...I haven't noticed any squirrels around during the day, so I'm really wondering if it could be Molly the cat!!

Y'all want a cab shot? :)

Should I be worried if the stems on the leaves on one of my cab plants are purple?? The plant itself looks fine...

Shit, this morning the stalk is turning purple. The roots on the plant hang down into the water in the res now. What could be happening? Is it too close to the light? Is it burning??

Wait... was that a Mac? All I did was break my GUI, and I done broke it good. Mrs. VTXDave is up and running on her old (5yo) machine. If Mr. Satman Rocks gets back to her, she may pick up a big ol' harddrive, though.. and she can build it herself, and she can pick the OS out herself, and she can install it herself an' EVER'THANG!

Just giving you a hard time, I've got some friends who seriously dig their Macs and at least the older versions of OSX, though some of the latest releases are sucking for them. But, they do some very particular scientific work and if they lose data, they lose grants and stuff. Not that a master's isn't also important! It is.. and I'm suddenly curious as to what you did your master's on. I can't remember if I told you that we have a friend who lives in NYC as well, and who's a sound engineer for Broadway shows like.. um... Jersey Boys? I can't remember the name of it now. :lol: Anyway, he's an excellent guy and a theater buff, I have no idea why we connect and made friends but there ya go TALK about a serious ramble of the fingers! :lol:

I know of no nocturnal squirrels (I've had my own issues with squirrels lately, you should see the fucking MESS they've made out front, dropping hella shit on the car and stuff), but plenty of nocturnal cats. :shock:
