Of course ol' muggins here used up his listing allowance yesterday, but another great benefit of My Products is that you can effectively withdraw the auctions early without worrying about fees. Huzzah.

Absolutely fascinating article in the NY Times about how ivory poaching is directly impacting the evolutionary adaptations of elephants, in ways that not only let them escape the carnage by poachers, but may also prove a catastrophe for the species.

The second intriguing suggestion in the article is around how trauma can affect the genome, something theorists have proposed over the years is evident in the generational transmission of traumatic race memory among human beings.

Well worth the read, and not too scientific to be a challenge for us lay people...

I wonder if more people might take an interest if this thread was called something more general such as "Food" or "Eating".   The Recipes topic on TM was quite active, but not many threads were actual recipes, more often they were general commentary or requests for advice.

Why are they doing the isolation with the latsest cases in chch?   in 1 month it just wont be one person coming down from auckland its going to be a landslide of cases

Cheap and cheerful backup of TM's Crafts & Hobbies messageboard - there will be a couple of changes to make it a little more useful, but all in good time.

Now that it is well into a week out there and some good results coming through...


I'm surprised Tranzmit hasn't got a bigger share, i quite liked that one - same with mixed messages, in fact all three of mine are out of the running at the moment...

A not insignificant number of users aren't too impressed with any of them...

But a couple of clear preferences are coming through...

With needing to wear a mask when going out, I'm finding I don't even bother with the chin hairs anymore, as they don't get seen.

They are starting to grow quite nicely, so I figure that I might as well bring out the masculine side of me, and just go with it.

So, what are you ladies neglecting, and thinking 'thank goodness I don't have to do that anymore' ?? What is going on underneath all the coverings??

Trying to restore a garden to just being lawn. We bought our home off of a retired couple who loved gardening as a hobby but I have two little ones, so I neither have time nor interest in trying to keep the garden looking lovely. We've gone and put up all of the plants on Facebook and a bunch of eager gardeners have helped us clear out most of the plants (we still have a few ferns and agaves that are either going to get left out on the street for free pickup, or will eventually just be put in a skip bin) but now I've got two jobs ahead of me:

1. Clearing the decorative black bark from old gardens and stones from the makeshift paths and restoring those areas to lawn; and
   
2. Dealing with the existing lawn which has pot holes on one side where the previous owners used to park a car on it, and then it has ugly weeds right across it
