Each little slug here Cuttin' a rug here

So I've been a bit busy recently and thus my garden has been a tad neglected. It has been making the bees happy because the self-seeded phacelia came up and flowered.

So I will show you what I did today. I turned this... (see all those pretty flowers!)

into this:

Yeah, there are still weeds, but it's a shit load better than it was. At least tomorrow I'll be able to find the slugs easier.

All my potatoes in these rows did come up. A lot are missing now:

all because of mutant slugs. And this is what a decimated potato plant looks like after slugs have been eating them for weeks:

And yes, it is from slugs and nothing else (because no one ever seems to believe me that slugs eat my potato plants). How do I know? I picked at least 50 slugs out of my potato plants today. That's a lot of slime.

Ick. Slime. I hope you succeed in your effort to de-slug your garden!

Making the bees happy is something you should be proud of!  I heard spreading coffee grounds around will de-slug your garden.  Apparently slugs don't like caffeine.

      I was returning a blu-ray last week and walked in the door to hear a guy screaming about "that crazy bitch."  Then security hustled him out the door.  The kids aren't allowed to run or yell either.  It's surprising they are maintaining some standards.

      The most tense place I have ever been is a Holocaust Museum where several people were being disrespectful and a brawl broke out right next to me. This was maybe the 3rd HM we have visited. I told my husband that’s enough. No more of those. I know what happened and have seen enough. 

      I work at a library and I can tell you that no one behaves the way they used to, especially the kids. We are supposed to let them just be themselves, meanwhile sometimes it is a circus. I'm so glad I don't work in the public area anymore because it used to get me so angry. If you let them run around and do what they want, how are they going to behave elsewhere? And what will happen when they get older? How can they learn? Now, I'm not saying we need absolute silence but there are people who are trying to study and like the library as a quiet and peaceful place.

      The worst case of this was at Anne Franks house 2 years ago. Everyone respectfully murmurs - same as in a library. A group of high school aged children were running through the rooms and watching stuff on mobile phones with the volume on. Not one teacher said anything. They were there! 
      A few visitors did have a word with them. Things didn’t improve though.

      Whatever the results were for the recent scan...if it was showing the cancer shrinking to nothing, they'd be shouting the good news from the rooftops, right? 

      My recent experiences with MRI were that the results were read by the radiologist and posted in the patient portal within a day or two and I assume other scans would be equally speedy.
