Right! Dump her old soggy gold digger prima donna ass, and get a 19-year old girlfriend with firm ass and boobies, whose idea of a nice date is a light beer and a cheesburger. Way cheaper and more money for gas!

"Problem with us, we can't think or act beyond selfish short-term conditioning. It does not really matter how many generations "turning US suburbs to food forest" would take. What matters is, how long are you going to postpone starting the planting?"
Hey, beano, I actually have spent quite a bit of time restoring my yard, neighbors yards, and other overlooked areas near by to something closer to their earlier state, planting hundreds of species of plants native to the region. Many of these have culunary and medicinal value.
So yeah, plant on.
I'm just personally alergic to any kind of happy talk that seems to say--hey, this is no big deal, just plant a prairie or re-establish healthy soil to start permaculture or a tropical food forest... as if these can be done instantly. Yes, we need to get started immediately (many, many years ago, actually), but pretending it will be quick or easy is going to lead to a lot of disappointment, and is just misleading.
I have no idea what your "choises" point was about. I don't see where I mispelled this word, or is the misspelling yours?

Costco will be here for the next 30 years. Just eat, drink and be merry!

I'm far behind anybody if talking about any kind of practice, just preaching with the enthousiasmos of the newly converted.
But if you read my posts, I'm not really about "happy talk" and do infact realize that many trees take hundreds and even thousands of years to grow... I'm just allergic to 100% doomer porn and nothing else. That helps nobody.

Since English is my second or third language, any misspellings are probably mine.

Tell me about it, Ludi.
Rabbits.
I think my life would have taken quite a different turn had the Internet been available when I was young.
As it was my options ranged from terrible to absent. And I was a good-looking, muscular guy! _________________ "Actually, humans died out long ago."
