Hey, who's up for Mexican tonight?? Seriously, this is the teeny tiny silver lining for this thread and I'm getting hungry.

I had a pork enchilada on the way to work today does that count?

Wasn't even considering it, but now you've got me thinking about a handful of lengua tacos, and I could totally go for that... Dangit, now I have to find a taco place for lunch...

I propose that we put down our sharp tools and change the discussion to olive tree development. Agree?

Probably gonna get a pizza tonight. The only decent Mexican restaurant near us closed and haven't found a good replacement.

Count me out for the tacos tonight, I'm on a semi-diet : had some courgettes from my graden thinly sliced with onions and shallots, on top of which I put some eggs, then put back the lid again on the frying pan so the top of the eggs go white. A bit of tabasco on top when in the plate - my regards to the southern culture of the US.
Soon, fresh pasta, tortellini filled with ricotta and spinach. Good for my health

I just realized this guy posted this shill in two different places. The Tea House wasn't troll worthy enough so he brought it out into the actual forums. Maybe he's like one of those masochistic types. "Stomp on my balls! I've been a bad boy!"

Voting that his 17 year-old kid got a hold of his account and is trolling us to troll his dad.

The creator of this post has ironically disqualified himself by his how standards, from the art of bonsai and penjing.
I have trained in bonsai in Korea but don't think that those who have never been here have trees that are any less valid. There are plenty of trees in the west that are very well developed and very high quality trees.

That’s a sweet set up, coffee, slippers, sweet little radio, out in the sun but under the shade. And private too.
Plus all this talk about great food.... I’m hungry and jealous. I’m going out for breakfast today and spend some time with my certified 100% American grown pre-prebonsai (aka sticks in pots)
@Adair M I hope your not right about the dementia. But you are right that it could be. Dementia has always been a great fear of mine ever since I’ve learned about the details and fallout that it creates. My condolences to you and your mother.
Thanks. She passed away peacefully in her sleep 6 years ago. But those last couple years were difficult. I learned to not disagree with her, because her “altered reality” WAS her reality... at least until the next mini-stroke. But, still, she said some awful things to both me and my sister.
But it is funny (at least it’s funny NOW) about how dementia can mess with an otherwise intelligent person. I’ll provide one example: my father used to keep a record of his checking account balance in a journal like old time bookkeepers whould have done. He entered in all the deposits and payments, and struck a running total. He passed away a couple years before my mom, but as he knew his time was short, he kept insisting that my mother keep the ledger updated as it was very important. (He always liked to know he had available cash in the bank.). Well, after he passed, my mother didn’t know how to keep a checkbook, my sister and I hired someone from the CPA’s office to pay her bills, and manage her money. All was well, until one day my mother stumbled upon the ledger, and didn’t know what it really was, but she sat down, and read it cover to cover, like a book! After all, my father told her it was important! She thought it was a was he was speaking to her from the dead. This thing covered 40 years of checking activity!
Well! She read it, and not understanding it, she interpreted things like “NBMC” as being the initials of a girlfriend, when it meant “Nations Bank Master Card”. So she starting accusing him of cheating on her for 20 years!
And all kinds of stuff like that!
So, then she would call me, several times a day, to explain why my father would cheat on her! So, finally, I took the book away! Well, that caused her to have a nervous breakdown when she discovered it was missing, she accused the assisted living people of stealing the family secrets... oh, it went on and on.
But... I tell this story to say that her dementia started with the kind of nonsense that Bolero has posted here. We all know it’s BS, but there will be no convincing him differently. It’s best to just let him enjoy his little world of bonsai. Maybe he would enjoy watching Nigel on YouTube on “The Bonsai Zone”.

I was there in June. Very nice.Hey dipshit, take a spin through this article written by someone who has an actual acquaintance with the truth--and see where your "enlightenment" stands. Pay particular attention to part about the intentional avoidance of Iemetsu practices for bonsai, as well as the "beginnings of penjing and Japanese bonsai" The entire thing kind of takes a dump on your empty headed 'truth'

Bolero is pretty easy to understand if you can take a moment and remember the Dunning-Kruger effect is real.
I had to google that!

Based upon this precedent setting concept, the Japanese, et al, need to stop calling what their baseball teams do, "baseball". I guess they should call it imitation baseball. That would make it really difficult to play exhibition games, us there or them here: They might get mixed up and have both teams at bat at the same time or everybody out in the field because, well... just because they'd have two different kinds of teams playing each other. The Japanese might not be able to learn the complex tasks like, "hit the ball and run".
