Spring is arriving early here in NY too and I am thinking it is time to move my seedlings to the greenhouse. I have a lot of raised beds and gardens around my home and I know how much gardening becomes an important part of your life. I hope that you can find a good place to grow your veggies this season. At least if you do you will know what is on them. Enjoy!
Spring is always an exciting time of year. Glad you get an early start, too. Eventually, I want to get my own permanent plot so I can avoid the uncertainty. I'll find something. I need it because it's a huge stress reliever.
I hope you have a great growing season this year. :)
I do agree, there is nothing like caring for the plants and enjoying nature to relieve stress. I hope you find something soon. Thanks for the good wishes.
but I do think eating healthy, exercising, fresh air and taking basic precautions is always good.
Oh yes, yes, and yes to this. Waiting to try to act healthy until after the fact isn't much good at all.
I'm on the fence about whether Justin's cache of Steem is private or not. Definitely he seems to believe it is, or is at least acting that way. BUT... if the only claim to this cache being "public" is a gentleman's agreement between Ned and the community, then Justin has a pretty significant claim. Honestly, I don't know the backstory, but right now it seems that no one is willing or able to provide any legal documentation one way or another. Which really sucks.
I'm on the fence about whether Justin's cache of Steem is private or not.
Most people are. For me, the main point is they keep mentioning their non-disclosure agreement. They are abusing this term to avoid transparent discussions. It's their right, but what outcome did they expect. There is definitely no smoking gun on either side to win a moral victory. The main issue is what would be accepted as a legal document? Which legal authority does any of this come under? I certainly don't want to be bound by the rules of the USA or China or EU when I act on Steem.
I have to say that with the Steemit/Tron drama, a week of power outages (albeit scheduled), up to as much as 7,5 hours a day and a Steemian I trusted, and who hosted my website having just disappeared resulting in the domain I own being locked, my head hurts. Oh, and the second course I'm supposed to be starting that gives me the piece of paper that says I can teach online. I now have the TEFL one. I haven't forgotten that I said I'd write about it. I will - when my head hurts less and when my site is back and I can publish via steempress. Sigh...
I do, think, though that we/they/whoever do/does have to push through this impasse. I also have to say that as a little fish, it's now getting boring. I fear that this is exactly what Sun wants.
On Covid-19 - I had a mini rant in my last post. I do not want to pooh-pooh what is going on, but the fear and paranoia is causing mayhem. At the risk of being accused of being all New Age-y, all this negativity is really bad for us. I agree that we need a sanguine approach: wash your hands (as one should have been doing), eat properly (i.e. healthy food) and be sensible.
I do hope you find a garden plot. We all need that little space to get fingers into the earth and grow things.
Happy spring!
Stay healthy!
PS the link to your kimchi recipe gives me a 404... :(
It has been quite rough the past few weeks. I keep telling myself it could have been worse.
I'm really sorry to hear about that issue with your website. I hope it has a positive conclusion and you can use Steempress again soon.
Congratulations on finishing your TEFL. It seems like you learned something and it was worth it. Online teaching should be interesting. I know a few people doing that right now. I've done some phone or video stuff, but it was more tutoring than teaching.
The issue is getting boring. I'm guessing he isn't even planning on selling now that the price crashed so much. Now is in a really difficult position because he has to get the community on board Steem development or the price will never recover. I hope he loses big time.
Covid-19 is bad, but yeah fear and negativity is worse, as is usually the case.
Thanks for the well wishes. I hope you stay healthy too. I'll try to fix that broken link.
Thanks, I am hoping that by Monday it will be sorted. Seems there's a 48-hour window during which they try to contact the host before it can be unblocked. I don't really want to understand; I just want it sorted.
With all these outages, I'm having to focus on the work that pays the bills - everything else is taking a back seat. The outages have downgraded to level 3, which means it's done for today, but tomorrow is another 7-odd hours with no power if they stay at this stage. It wreaks havoc with life in general, never mind online studying or work.
That brings me to the online course: my plan is to tutor rather than teach. And to work with adults. Hopefully in college/university/business contexts because that's where my experience and expertise lie.
Thanks for fixing the link to your kimchi post: fascinating. I've forwarded it to a friend of mine who is a potter and who has tried making kimchi (in a beautiful urn she had made) and wants to give it another bash. I'm hoping this might inspire her.
And as for the rest, I guess that unless I have to change a witness vote or whatever, it's wait and see....
It's interesting about the power situation. Shame they cannot work on conservation amd at least give people smaller amounts like 100watt at all times. Although I guess a reasonable battery set up could allow for that.
I'm sure you will find a lot of people interested in being tutored, especially online. The pay is a little lower, but the convenience is incomparable. Besides I'm sire your reputation will grow.
Thanks for sharing my kimchi link, I wish her success. My actual recipe is vague, but I do link to some good ones.
Everything will eventually work out the way it happens to work out.
Well, after my rant, loadshedding has been suspended. It's a long story, summarised I two words/phrases, Zuma and state capture,so to get the system on an even keel, we are told to expect this for the next year to 18 months.
We all need encouragement during these challenging times.
I hope he is right and it ends someday. Unless they are building power stations and tackling corruption, I have my doubts.
Well, as I said to Pennsif: Since there's been a change in the guard as it were and they're cleaning house (too many cliches), I am happier to put up with it. There's a bit more candour when there's a breakdown and a commitment to actually stabilising and improving the system. Of course, the economic impact of Covid-18 might mean that demand reduces and they get it sorted quicker.
On my way to work along the street, I noticed the dreary winter plants were replaced with what appear to be tulips to my untrained eye.
My feeling is that the yellow flowers are daffodils.
Actually, I don't think the term legal really matters here.
Agreed. Between the pre-Sun Witnesses' installation of HF22.2 and the actions of the exchanges involved in STEEM governance using their clients' undelegated STEEM has truly highlighted the lesson, that on The Chain, possession is ten tenths of the law.
Yeah, I'm still fairly upset. Hopefully, things change or I find someplace nice.
I guess you will have a lot of free time to work in the garden this spring unless things turn around quickly.
I do hope you find some things to do. I would imagine private lessons and tutoring are relatively unaffected (the kids don't need to leave their homes). You could even do diagnostic improvement or try to work on a youtube channel (I've been watching one of these two violin players) or different project to earn income.
It's been a rough couple of weeks for sure! In the southeast US where I am, while it hasn't been as cold as last winter, I'm into my 5th month of not having to run either the AC or the heat. Saves lots of money.
I posted a video on my twitter this morning that shows a guy wearing a mask on a train in Belgium, who pulls the mask down, puts his finger in his mouth, then wipes his germs on the pole in front of him. I wonder how long it will stay up. I'm expecting that twitter will ban the video.
I have hopes that we can get steem away from Justin for good. I personally am at the point now where I would not continue on here if we fail and steem becomes his. As for downvotes, I'm for it, but I think that we need to make it so people can't downvote without a good reason. Downvoting a post because one is simply an asshole who loves doing assholish things, needs to be punished somehow, IMO.
The river in Seoul never froze over once this year. That only happened 8 times in the last 120 years. You are right, my heating bill was also cheap. I run it anyway because warm wife = happy wife.
I don't know why people do these things. The polls on the train are so dirty as it is. inadvertently doing something is one thing, but intentionally being careless is another. I probably won't die or end up in ICU if I catch it, but I could end up giving it to someone who either cannot afford to be sick or doesn't fare so well.
This is an extensive write up.
Reminds me to eat kimchi and wash my hands.
My favorite line today.
I picked that rhetoric trick up from an older relative.
I'm happy with the feedback I get from these posts. Something for everyone. I try to make it easy to skim.

I think you are right about the flower type. Thank you for pointing that out :)
Yes! That was the expression I was looking for.
We will get it back, or plan B make it irrelevant.
Congratulations @abitcoinskeptic!

Oh man... The garden... Ours is a mess! Pity you can't rent the plot this year, you had an awesome looking harvest the last year!
Yeah, I'm still fairly upset. Hopefully, things change or I find someplace nice.
I guess you will have a lot of free time to work in the garden this spring unless things turn around quickly.
Ha ha... Yes, I suddenly have an entire free month with no income! Well, there are lots of house things to do!
I do hope you find some things to do. I would imagine private lessons and tutoring are relatively unaffected (the kids don't need to leave their homes). You could even do diagnostic improvement or try to work on a youtube channel (I've been watching one of these two violin players) or different project to earn income.
