tammy

i heard about the ordeal and felt so bad...we def. missed you guys!

i will not be able to make it but maybe steve...one of us has to watch the kids...

bumping for Iwar...we may have found a babysitter so if it works out we can do more fun LST stuff...i will leave it up to @Lochlan, @MsRad, @dcostello, @dari to organize a group meet up because i am too scatter brained...

i had a rent controlled apartment in nob hill that we gave up a year ago...it was used as a 2 bedroom around $1k...i had it "in the family" for over 13 years so the rent was REALLY cheap. the rental market is REALLY tough right now for renters...

we can add a chat box but it really slows down the site performance and chatboxes and easily compromised so sites can get hacked.. also chats cannot be archived so the thread you post may disappear within minutes depending on how busy the chat is.

steve REALLY wanted to go...we have had the craziest weekend so he couldn't :(

hi stu!

you have 2 big marvel stripe plants and a smaller berkeley tie dye. the marvel stripe is an heirloom tomato that is a GIANT plant and a huge producer...it is a sweet tomato with less acidity than the red tomato. it really is a favorite around here because it has beautiful fruit that are also tasty....bust taste is subjective. here is a post with more info on the marvel stripe: Marvel Striped: Monster Plant & Prolific! | Marin Homestead next year will get some plants started for you...i do for loch. i'll also let you know when to transition from your summer to winter garden since we have similiar weather. i love the winter garden. that's when i do: garlic, swiss chard, brocolli, cauliflower, beets

ursula, those are some great pictures of your grandfather and his garden!!

did you put the tomato plants i gave you in? just for your records they were: Marvel Stripe: and pink berkeley tie-dye: you've seen my garden in person but here are some ideas for you: summer garden: this is last years garden...this years has squash, tomatillos, cucumbers in the from instead of melons. also the tomato plants are already 7 feet tall. winter garden: here's the homesteading blog if anyone wants to see: Recipes, Garden & Chickens | Marin Homestead

Hey Robin, Looks like some exciting things in your future....very jealous of the kittens. I used to foster kittens. They are just the cutest things!! Looking forward to your series ;)

it's too bad...they really were suited for each other.

Interesting Read, Kev. Hope you and your lady had a great time!

welcome reyes!

i'm very confused by it...its gonna take some time for this old dog to learn new tricks.

shotsie, def. remind us when the show starts...also, you may want to put it on the LST calendar so all can see: Tattooer Guest Spot, Tattoo Convention, Events, and Birthday Calendar

it could just all be a coincidence ;)

hey kev, welcome...you are staying in the heart of san francisco. belden place is a fun street...sort of reminds me of europe. i personally really like blowfish sushi but it can be a little bit of a scene and kind of loud. sushi ran in sausalito is great as well. there are so many great places to eat in the bay area i am sure others will chime in...also maybe dari can help guide you of any free yoga places...she is our personal yoga guru ;)

welcome estes!

welcome Dave. I am in the Bay Area as well. You do not need to be super experienced to participate on LST.

Karma at its finest: Man dies while raping elderly South Texas woman

thanks for the recipe...i bought a new paella pan and some imported chorizo so i have been meaning to make...

dari and loch are correct. we have been working on a map with information for great tattoo shops/artists.

uhhhh...sounds so good...i good bowl of pho is a treat...can you imagine this. when we traveled to vietnam all the hotels we stayed at were "westernized" and had these breakfast buffets but in addition to the omelette, pastry stations they had a pho station where they had their regional pho that you could order and customize to your taste. it was so awesome and a great way to start the day. i love beef pho but the spicy seafood was to die for.
