My grandma grew plants with tiny round berries. She picked them a
little early and set them on the windowsill over the sink to ripen.
REALLY sweet. Shastas (they're the commercial conical ones, right?)
used to be good, but they seem to have bred in some sturdiness and bred
out some sweetness. The big flattish ones were always awful.

I have to grow them in pots, and full-size tomatoes were never worth the
trouble, much less the water. Maybe one pitiful one per plant, if that.

Hmmm. My various starts are either still on the grow shelves or had to be taken
in because of frost. Tradition is that one can't plant safely here until the
week of Easter, and it has been true every year I have paid attention.
 
I gave up the big garden here because it just wasn't financially practical. I
now grow in containers on the back deck, where the deer and groundhog can't
reach.
 
Trying shallots this year, as the prices in the store are always outrageous for
them.

My girlfriend exploded during sex. We have been dating since High
School, and planned to marry. On Saturday night, we were having sex
and suddenly she exploded. There were pieces of her spread all over
the floor, walls and ceiling.
 
My doctor told me I have an exceptionally large penis, and he warned
me about being careful when I use it. But I never expected this to
happen.
 
I'm worried about getting arrested for murder, but this was not
intentional. I didn't even know this could happen. All I remember is
we were both having a climax, when I heard a loud blast and felt an
explosion below my body. Moments later I was laying on sheets and
covered with blood and body parts.
 
I have not yet contacted the police. I am scared what will happen.
Maybe I should leave the country, and not say a word about it to
anyone.
