The Horse @TheHorse (219080) • Walnut Creek, California 24 May 19

I've been growing corn, sunflowers, green beans, and snow peas with the kids at the preschool where I substitute teach. It's been a thrill for the kids as the plants get "bigger bigger bigger," and a thrill for me as well....

shaqziad1610 Getting the kids a hands-on experience in gardening and food source is a good approach. It is important to nurture those qualities early on into shaping the future of humanity. I sound like a preacher, didn't I? Sorry. Your vision just invoked that in me.

shaqziad1610 Ah, it's that time again. I wish you a Good Planting Season and a Good Harvest Season this year. I sowed some pumpkin seeds, and transferred the okra and roselle seedlings to the beds this morning. If it rains tonight, I can skip watering them tomorrow.

shaqziad1610 Scary? I like scary. Is it good, though? Would you recommend it to someone who's a sucker for seinen genre? The scary part, what level is it? I mean, people kept dying in Detective Conan, but it is not scary at all.

shaqziad1610 Death Note is a good anime. It got good plot, the characters are properly developed and the animation is nice too. I feel like no one can say they like anime until they have watched Death Note.
