#Tweethday #Twanniversary

This post is not in any way related to horticulture. Don't worry though, I will be posting again soon. :)

#Twanniversary - based only on the number of tweets (365 for the first) and not a specific day.

#Tweethday - the specific day upon which this #Twanniversary event happens to take place.

Below is a list of #Twanniversaries 1 to 100. It works just like a year, but each tweet is considered a day. So 365 tweets is one #Twanniversary and 365 x 2 = 730 tweets is the next. But just like with leap years ever four #Twanniversaries you have a leap #Twanniversary and add an extra tweet. I just made it simple and posted below. I know a year is actually about 365.2422 days but simplified it so there would be no partial tweets!

How many tweets until your next #Twanniversary?

Miraculous Mostly-Mature Mulberry Monday

Lately I've been in LOVE with mulberries. There is a large tree in Cottonwood Community Gardens and whenever I go to water my plot I make sure to grab a bunch of mulberries. There's a random outdoor chair near one of the tool sheds. I drag it over under the tree and grab as many as I can reach.

I've almost fallen a few times. This would be particularly bad because there is a patch of raspberries under the branches that I harvest most of the berries from. I should probably stop trying to grab things out of reach but I won't learn that until I end up falling. It's not that I'm overly confident in my abilities, just very very foolish.

You know the berries are ready when pretty much fall of the branch just by touching them. That being said even when they're not completely ripe they're still quite good. The tree in the garden has been fruiting for about a month and may have another month to go! I grabbed a few dozen today and gave them a good wash. Make sure not to soak the berries long because they'll loose their taste relatively quickly.

WARNING: The follow is not plant related and mostly incoherent. Do not read unless you have time to waste.

This post may seem a little disjointed. That's because I was only going to post the picture with the title. Then I figured the title is so great that it would get people's hopes up. If they clicked on it just to see a picture it may be a little disappointing. I also just made brownies from a mix and added Reese Cups and butterscotch chips. I'm EXTREMELY excited!

I'm really not sure how to end this post. My landlords are back with their three screaming children and I'm a little annoyed. I don't mean to alienate anyone with kids, but there is at least one child screaming/crying every minute of the day. It starts to grate on you. I think it's about time to find a new place. Unfortunately with only one of us employed that isn't in the cards.

I have all my plants outside and I'm afraid they'll end up being abused. Last time they were hit with a basketball. It took my Adenium a month to start growing again. That is something you just don't forget. I'm afraid to go outside and move stuff and risk an awkward social interaction. I think I'll sneak out in a few hours under the cover of darkness and move stuff then.

Hopefully they don't think I'm trying to break-in and end up coming outside. Then *BAM* awkward social encounter. Speaking of awkward, I just saw an ad for a 24 hour reality show channel. That kind of makes me sick. Of course I'll have to give it a chance so I don't make a hasty, uneducated decision.

Now I'm just warm and slightly annoyed. I think I may have gotten a little off topic. I think I'll add some text after the stuff that's plant related to warn my readers of what is to follow. This long, odd little ramble that has a tone of slight annoyance.

Of course it isn't as long as the book "The Reality Dysfunction". I'm a total sci-fi fan. This book has over 900 pages in relatively small print (smaller than standard at least). I'm around page 460. I think I'm going to have to renew the loan.

I'm going to end this post now. I just want my brownies. I'll call them special brownies. You can take from that what you will but they only have the added Reese Cups and butterscotch chips. They have to cook longer and generally don't turn out entirely solid but if you put them in the fridge they're just AMAZING!

The Three T(w)(o)os?

I was on my laptop last night in front of the TV that we purchased instead of a bed, sitting on an old couch we found in an alley, and something dawned on me. Something strange. Something that may be earth-shattering. Something that could change our very existence.

It all began with a simple response to an unrelated comment. In my previous Lynn Canyon post, Kenneth Moore mentioned he was listening to a certain band too much lately. I responding with, "You can never listen to too much of them." Things may have been fine if I had just stopped there. Unfortunately, I followed it up with, "Ew two t(w)o(o)s in a row."

Now writing that last sentence took me a good five minutes. I guess it technically should have been two to(o)s in a row, seeing as I didn't use the number version of the word. But I was scared of becoming trapped in an infinite t(w)(o)o loop! You see I used two t(w)(o)os twice in a row. The next sentence would have had to be the same. This would continue on forever as, "Ew, two t(w)[o]os in a row." The square brackets are there because I originally had them before the "s" but upon writing this post realized the first "o" should have brackets.

What is the correct plural form of the word when referring to multiple homophonic words (same sound, different meaning) and why has this never crossed my mind before? I guess this would be a noun.  As far as I can gauge, it's a bit of a mess without any clear answers:

To & Too - To(o)s or T(o)os - Any thoughts on whether the first or second "o" should have the brackets?

To & Two - T(w)os

Too & Two - T(o)(w)os or T(w)(o)os - I think bracketed "o" first to be alphabetical.

To & Too & Two - T(w)o(o)s or T(w)(o)os or T(o)(w)os - They all start with "T" and end with "o" so I figure the 2nd or 3rd option. The 2nd is probably best because it doesn't look similar to any other words. That being said I like the bracket symmetry of the 1st.

All of this is turning into a horribly complicated mess and I'm starting to get scared. I'm sure someone has thought of this before and there must be some kind of answer. If not we'll have to petition a dictionary to include a magical all-encompassing plural form/rule for homophonic words!

I started to think a little harder and things became even more ugly. What happens when you want to refer to "there", "their" and "they're"? Is it something like this:

There & Their - The(i)r(e)s

There & They're - The(y')res

Their & They're - The(i)(y')r(e)s or The(y')(i)r(e)s

There & They're & Their - The(i)(y')r(e)s or The(y')(i)r(e)s

Now things are starting to look like some weird phonetic dialect. At least there aren't any other awful groups of words. Certainly not:

For & Four - Fo(u)rs

For & Fore - For(e)s

Four & Fore - Fo(u)r(e)s

For & Four & Fore - Fo(u)r(e)s

Here something terrible has happened! The last two both have the same pluralized spellings!!! How will people know if someone is referring to "Four & Fore" or "For & Four & Fore"? My pluralization formula has failed!

Is this some paradox that will destroy the universe? A once-in-a-lifetime world changing revelation? Something easily solved with a clear answer which my extremely limited and lazy googling cannot bring to light?

Please help. I've opened Pandora's Box and I can't close it.

Confused... Frightened...
