For some reason using this photo is making me laugh. We'll not analyze it too much..... it's literally nothing to do with anything!
Except... I am technically talking about two things. Two of the same thing.... like these crows! CAW, CAW! (ahem)
So for whatever reason, I decided to try growing a couple of avocado seeds. Again, not particularly sure of why other than "I kind of want to see if I can do this" I guess?
I googled the thing and so now I have two avodaco seeds stuck with toothpicks sitting half in water. Doing.. nothing yet!
It's kind of funny when I think about it though because what I read said it'll take weeks to show any signs, if at all, and that then it'll take years to grow and even then they might never bear fruit. And here was I hoping for free avodacos! (pretty much joking there)
I figured other than taking up a couple of glasses for a while, it'll do no harm and I get to have my own little attempt at growing. I'm still enjoying my baby spider plants and watching them grow so thought I'd try something different. No harm if they don't do anything, but I'll give them a while yet!
Whoops. Double Whoops!
I have an (older) Apple laptop, and some of you who do as well, may know the frustration of the charger cords. They are absolutely the weak point of these devices and constantly fray and break. Especially, it seems, for me, probably due to the angle of my cord compared to where it has to plug in and where I spend most of my time. So because this part breaks so much, I get tired of paying the $100 for the replacement I know isn't going to live all that long. Last time I got a replacement I tried to fortify the break point, but it still went. And then I ordered a slightly cheaper one off of Amazon. It didn't come from apple, but arrived with all apple branding, so... I figured it was real enough. *shrug* It frayed as well, and this time the protective coating was only slightly split so I left it for a while, intending to get some electrical tape to seal it up for a while. Which is why I was not so happy to hear and see it spark when I went to plug it in...
