I had to give up growing broccoli because of the green worms. Took one bowl of microwaved broccoli and bugs and I had enough. Bring on the store bought with a side of pesticides for me.

Same lol I hate those pincer bugs too. Weevils or whatever

to get bugs off of broccoli, mix up a bowl of cold water and add salt at the ratio of one teaspoon per cup of water. dip the broccoli head first into the water and swish it around a bit. in a couple of minutes the bugs will let go . take it out of the water and give it a good shake. to get the water out.

Bad news yesterday about one of my senior cats. I noticed Sunday that he was drooling excessively. Vet said it's a tumor in his jawbone. Both his mother and his brother developed tumors in their heads, so I guess it's likely he's genetically inclined. The tumors grow very fast; part of his jaw would have to be removed to try to get the tumor. What kind of life would he have then?

Marco Polo was the first of the kittens -- 15 years ago -- to wander away from the bunch and explore, hence his name. He is a handsome black fellow and very sweet. I am giving him antibiotics for the infection and a something to reduce the inflammation and pain.

I will make him as comfortable as possible until he lets me know he's ready to go.
