Monsters In My Bed

Sometimes I cant sleep. Sometimes its insomnia...other times its the monsters under my bed. The monsters I have created with past memories that bring back pure pain. I think most girls have them...if not everyone. Remember that time so and so called you fat? Ugly? A slut? Stupid? How about a horrible person? Of course you do.

So tonight they are here again stabbing me with words. I didnt feel safe anywhere as a child and I dont feel safe from these words now. Im not sure why. It didnt turn out to be the best day today but it by all means wasnt a bad day.

I used to think it was funny that people saw me as strong...so invincible. Hah! Really everything just hurt so much that it was hard to feel anything.

Things get better though, right?

A HAPPY APRIL TO ALL

No jokes or tricks....Straight to work and to kick things of, let me say if are not on Sylvia Bernsteins lists, you are missing out on a wealth of information that could be vital to anyone interested in Aquaponics. So Ive included her latest for your perusal and the rest is up to you:-

I just had that experience this morning, so after sharing this video with the community site, Facebook, and Twitter, I am now sharing it with you!

Aquaponic Gardening Workshops

By slywoman, on March 21st, 2011

Over the past two years I’ve taken several aquaponics workshops and classes, and taught several myself. One thing that I’ve learned is that, while an aquaponics system is fairly easy to operate once it is up and running, a beginner has a lot to learn at the outset in order to be successful. Here is what I’ve discovered that a beginner can comforatably

Aquaponics vs. Hydroponic nutrients

I’ve gardened in dirt for many, many years in a variety of climates (Illinios, Ohio, Colorado, California) so when I discovered hydroponics 7 years ago I thought it was amazing. Imagine, no dirt, no weeds, fast growth, never needing to worry about when to water and when to fertilize. Best part was because the grow beds are portable I could “garden” where ever I wanted. But there was always that nagging issue of the nutrients. Most nutrients in hydroponics are based on mineral salts, which could be ecologically harvested and purified, but I’m afraid the vast majority just aren’t. It always felt a little like I was feeding my plants with a chemical

Aquaponic Fish: To Eat or Not To Eat
Yesterday I was asked why someone would grow aquaponically. I went through the usual reasons that we probably all use to justify the time and money we spend on our obsession – organic produce that is sustainably grown, the ability to garden anywhere, regardless of soil quality, without mess or weeds, etc., etc, etc. I found myself wrapping it all up, however, with the heartfelt exclamation “but the real reason is that...

Aquaponics: Certified Organic Without Soil?

Believe it or not, you cannot be certified USDA organic if you grow crops in a soilless environment in the U.S.

Dirt = Organic…WHY???

Bevan Suits of Access to Aquaponics has launched a righteous war of soil semantics with the National Organic Standards Board. On December 17 he sent a letter to Valerie Francis, Executive Director, and Jeff Moyer, Chairman, which I’m excerpting below. Therell be more from Sylvia over the next few issues

E & T Farms: A Local Farm with a Twist
A tour of Cape Cods only aquaponics farm.
By Francine Stroman
Jumping fish, fresh green veggies and the sound of running water are just a few of the sensations one experiences when they tour E & T Farms in Barnstable.
The Farm is Cape Cods only commercial aquaponics farm. Its 9,500 sq. ft. indoor growing space includes 9 indoor fish ponds and a connected greenhouse.

DIY urban bathtub aquaponics system
Aquaponics just might be the ultimate closed-loop food production system. A healthy aquaponics system can provide its lucky owner with fresh fish and fresh organic vegetables year round, for very little ongoing cost. Getting an aquaponics system set up, however, can be costly. There’s lots of off-the-shelf systems to choose from nowadays, but they cost a bundle.

First Past The Post
I’m always on the look-out for early varieties and was recently introduced to realseeds.co.uk by one of the Tomato Club Members.
The Race Is On!
It seems that they have a very early cherry/bush variety called Latah which was developed in Idaho, USA for short seasons. That’s a bit like the summer in the UK!
I’ve ordered some of these seeds and intend to grow this variety alongside Red Alert and one or two other early fruiting varieties to see which is the earliest. I’ll keep you up to date with the results.
...oooOooo...

Try Sprouts
If you want to grow nutritious and tasty fresh vegetables during the cold months, sprouts are the answer to your prayers. In just a few days, a handful of seeds will turn into several servings of crunchy sprouts. It doesn’t get more fresh and local than that!
By Tabitha Alterman and Barbara Pleasant
Sprouts can be grown easily in hemp or flax bags. And they come in a wider variety than you may realize. Try multi-colored purple radish sprouts or crisp sprouted peas.

Best Vegetables to Grow in the Shade
Even in shaded conditions, you can bask in great garden harvests if you choose the right crops and make a few easy adjustments.
By Colleen Vanderlinden
For successful growing in the shade, remove low-hanging branches from nearby trees, use raised beds and liners to discourage tree roots from wicking water away from crops, and use reflective mulches to give plants more light.

like youd know dude

Starting with today...my teacher for Psych 305 was talking about how men were the leaders of the house so they were used in commercials to promote sort of a..."Im telling you to do this cause Im a man" sort of thing even on a tampon commercial. Well she was like "cause youd know dude."

XD

And last night my Anthro teacher was talking about how a science person would view a philosopher. Its like they cant feel or see their theory. "Its like imagining pleasure...like mental masturbation."

XDD

Ugh I was walking home and it was lonely and cold. My fingers were freezing and I think I started having a panic attack. I hurried home but...i didnt want to really be there. Id rather be going to Adams bed...warm and cozy.

on my way home from the dark bus stop I walked alone. A man jumped out of the bush. He grabbed me and tried to rip off my shirt. I tackled him to the ground and tied him to a pole. I found a large knife in his pocket. I smiled and slipped off his pants. I shoved his pants in his mouth so he wouldnt scream. I wandered around the avenue and found a branch and placed it in between his legs. I picked up his testicle and slowly cut his skin. I pushed his testicle to the ground and gave it a quick whack with the blade. He tried to scream. I closed up his scrotum and did the same on the other side. WHACK. I pulled out my stapler and stapled his scrotum closed. I put his pants back on and walked away.

This is why I shouldnt walk home alone. I get crazy thoughts like this.

=]

happy day

headache...too many people.

The only problem with being in band is you end up in a BIG family...which adds more...which effing turns into over crowding.

BLEH

So I get to see Adam today...hopefully more than a few minutes and after his class. I misses him...its been a few days...a few terribly hard days.

so...

not happy

with life

aaarrrgghhh

we need this group to split...or i need some ice cream

quite frankly unhappy

So...eh yesterday wore me out...hearing things too honest. Its proof that Nobody really gets me.

errrgghh

So now Im having an emo day and probably an emo weekend besides Ymanis birthday.

I got to hang out with Adam. That made me a little happy. Destine to have a bad day? Tired of bad days.

Oh happy days!

Sometimes I wonder if teachers put any thought into "randomly" assigning us fake patients or practice problems. Today was IV catheter lab day. We got these practice "patients" (a fake problem basically and mine was a 2lb 2oz kitten. I looked at it and just smiled. Oh man...imagine trying to stick an IV in this for reals! Im sure this wouldnt be your run-of-the-mill cephalic (arm) catheter...an umbilical maybe? So I placed my catheter on my dummy leg perfectly (thank you Banfield. Yes I was paying attention!)

The downside to today was that I didnt trust myself. I had everything correct the first time but didnt think that maybe everyone else just didnt do the math as fast. I second guessed myself a bunch but wait...I was right. My drips per second were pretty crazy although Im not sure if dead on. However, once I found out what the machine wanted, I got that right on. Mega win for me...the girl incredibly horrible at math!

Anyway...this week is teacher appreciation week and the front desk is giving out these little things where you can write nice things about your teachers. I have a feeling that Ms. L and Dr. R wont get any. This makes me sad. Yes both are strict but isnt the real world strict too? Ms. L isnt even that bad. She just had to teach the hardest term and chose to be the bad guy. Whatever. I think she is cool. Dr. R? Well its her first year teaching...give her a break! Anyway she is pretty cool too. The one thing I really love about her is that she is into Chinese medicine. WHAT!!? Absolute love! I know she thinks we all think she is crazy for the things she says but really...Im SO glad to have her come into my life. Im glad to know that not all doctors in general practice dismiss, if not shun, holistic medicine. I think Im going to write them all a nice love note. Why? Because I love all my teachers. Yes there are things I dislike about some but in reality...they are the ones helping me set in stone my future.

To those Who Celebrate it Happy Easter

Resolved Question
Show me another »
Getting a aquaponics system for my room and cant decide on what type of fish?
Because the tank is only ten gallons, that put most fish out of the question. I really dont want koi, but I was wondering if there were smaller breeds of tilapia I could get, something I can eat.

A Brief Introduction to Aquaponics
[I wasnt sure where to post this. This was written as a 300 word article for a local gardening publication. It was written for an audience that has an interest in gardening, but does not know anything about aquaponics and may not even have a pre-existing interest in it. Any feedback would be appreciated as it has not printed just yet; so, I can make adjustments if needed. Thanks for reading!]
