Wow @greenshiner, what an adventure you've started. I'm glad that @bobbleheadstead mentioned you. I'm following your blog!

Ah, the picked pepper predicament. This year our pepper plants went gangbusters and we are swimming in banana, cyan, jalapeno, pepperoccina and Corno di Toro Reds. Thanks Jaimie for the video! Now out

Amen @e-pioneer, I truly believe most people are getting very tired of all this manipulation.

You're welcome @mother2chicks, I love the little chick icons you add to your posts.
