  • cotton growing question?

    I live in CT, and really want to grow cotton. Cotton requires two more months of growing season than northern crops, so i am going to start planting right now indoors, and transplant them outside in two months. I was just about to order seeds and i need to choose between a blooming date in "mid-summer", or a blooming date "Late Summer". What do i choose? how will it affect my outcomes?

  • Did I find a metorite?

    I'm currently living in a valley in portugal. I have been finding small smooths or rigid black and extraordinary dense or heavy stones, no red coloring from iron. The rocks are very magnetic. They are small and sometimes like drops of metal found on the ground in variouse clusters. Are they metorites?

  • Can you bring cork on a plane?

    I am in portugal and love the cork beehives- will I be allowed to being a cork bee hive on the plane to America? Plants and seeds are strongly prohibited, but cork is tree bark. I have brought a small piece of raw cork about the size of a dinner plate 2 years ago and that passed fine, but a whole beehive, I don't know.

  • how do i customize exactly who can email me on yahoo mail?

    i have been getting annoying emails in my spam bin from porn websites telling me that i can get laid every night and that i need to enlarge my manhood, and its really freaking annoying, aparently i have been a member of their porn site for over 5 years and i just "won" a free membership. I have never watched porn on my computer and my yahoo account was made the day i got my computer (only 3 years ago) i block the senders every day (i get messages 3-5 times a day from them) and every time i block the sender, they make a new account and send them to me that way- so how do i only make it so contacts can send me mail?

  • gravestone question about a cemetery in my town?

    there is an old cemetery in my town called hillside cemetery- and it says it was established in 1960, but theres gravestones dating back to the 1700s? there are records of hundreds of 1700s gravestones that had fallen and had been "replaced, or recarved" with the same inscription, when really they just removed the stone- but anyways theres a record of one 1700s stone in the cemetery now, so i went to see what it was all about, so i was looking at the stone (its a puritan man named william gaylord who died in 1796) and theres the main headstone, but then about 5 feet away from the head stone is a smaller 1 foot tall puritan stone with no inscription- i read that it was a foot stone, but what does that mean? is it for the same person? i tried to get good pictures, but theres a tree growing between the footstone and the headstone-

    okay, so my parakeets are always talking to eachother, and when i peek my head around the corner of the room, they see me and then try to attack me, so they fly at the walls of their cage, their feet stick to the cage and they try to pry the bars apart, because i think they want to kill me. and the other day i went to clean their cage and the blue one flew up and attacked my FACE!!!!!! i think they might be puritans who think i am the sin of the devil? okay and heres the weird part- the green one ripped off its ankle bracelet, and its literally an iron bracelet that it ripped off and spit onto the bottom of the cage, and now the blue one is trying to do it too!!!!! these birds are over 10 years old now- when will they die?
