Meh.

I don’t feel like fighting. 🙂

Thank you for making my point so well. Where am I questioned for my decision? Well, you insinuate that women are so weak that they are led down a road to motherhood where their days are filled with mindless drivel…like cheering their children on, volunteering at schools and raising future contributing members to our society. You can thank me…[Read more]

Thanks for sharing Andrew. I think it is so great that you had a chance to be at home with your daughter. I think it makes parenting more equitable and is so good for our sons and daughters to be around their fathers! I think this is becoming more and more common. In regards to Janet…yes, like I said before I know I will probably be in the same…[Read more]

“You see, my mum taught me that children enslave women. I grew up believing that children are millstones around your neck, and the idea that motherhood can make you blissfully happy is a complete fairytale”
“Then I meet women in their 40s who are devastated because they spent two decades working on a PhD or becoming a partner in a law firm, and…[Read more]

I feel like I was taught great hand graphics from Stephen Drown at the University of Idaho. I am really grateful for the knowledge he shared with us.

I am not sure I get exactly what you are asking but will try to answer. 🙂 No buzz saws from me. I think women should have the choice of career, family or both. I think depending on the stage of the woman’s life this will look different. I think it is ridiculous to hear other women judge a stay at home mother as weak…just as it is annoying to…[Read more]

I want to watch this!

I agree Leslie it is a complicated issue.

Exactly.
 

I reposted…see if that works.

Can’t leave any opportunity to make a political point? They don’t run on party and last time I checked it is usually those really annoying progressives that support local food growth…at least in my neck of the woods and I live in Idaho.
According to the article there isn’t even a city code that prohibits the placement of her vegetable gardens. I…[Read more]

Oh and I have done unsolicited concepts…well a concept…haha. A local orthodontist has deplorable landscaping!!! I found an image of their online and photoshopped new plantings. 🙂 I didn’t get a call…yet.

I am interested in this thread as we are also in a small community. I am not sure how creative we are in regards to marketing but I will document a few things we have tried that seem to have worked and those that have failed. I should also note that we do design/build, in some ways, I think this has actually been the creative approach that has…[Read more]

Two words: student loans.
I don’t think it would be financially worth it.

nrschmid you sound like you have hurt feelings…here is something to cheer you up.

I guess I just don’t understand the point? Bestowing wisdom on the lowly members of Land 8 Lounge? I have no doubt you have great insight to share…your method of delivery could be improved. Ironically, you claim you are very careful about what you write because you understand how anyone online can be misunderstood or just plain offensive. So you…[Read more]

I wonder how they decided to focus on distilling the grief into two yawning holes. The author in the article Henry posted mentioned needing to turn away. I wonder what the site would look like if it had been designed as a place for healing and restoration, rather then a monument to despair. I like the idea of the tree that had been nursed back to…[Read more]

I thought you were laid off a while back? And were in Texas? Maybe I am confusing you with someone else. The person I am thinking of was thinking of going into petroleum.

I like this, “The Horticulturalist primary concern is the plant, where my primary concerned is the place, which means I might push the limits of what’s good for the plant if it enhances the human experience.”
Why so angry, nrshmid?If LA/LDs are so annoying why are you here? I haven’t posted for a while. I hope things are well with you. I must h…[Read more]
