		<title>How to Grow Spaghetti Squash From Seed</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Spaghetti squash is an easy-to-grow squash that can be grown nearly anywhere. It's a winter squash, which means that it's not harvested until cool weather, after the skin has had a chance to become hard. Because spaghetti squash is so easy to grow, and develops so quickly, it's an especially good beginner plant for young gardeners. Just be sure you have a sunny spot and plenty of space in your garden for the sprawling vines.]]></description>

		<title>If you give a squirrel a coconut&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I saw this in an RSS feed and thought that it might be fun to get a couple of reduced coconuts from the market and drill some holes in the bottom and then some eye-bolts in the top and hang them from a tree or a feeder…I bet this would happen.]]></description>

		<title>JFT:  Our own recovery</title>
		<description><![CDATA[March 10
	

Our own recovery

“The steps are our solution.  They are our survival kit.  They are our defense against addiction, a deadly disease.  Our steps are the principles that make our recovery possible.”

Basic Text, p. 19

––––=––––

There’s lots to like in Narcotics Anonymous.  The meetings, for one, are great.  We get to see our friends, hear some inspiring stories, share some practical experience, maybe even hook up with our sponsor.  The campouts, the conventions, the dances are all wonderful, clean fun in the company of other recovering addicts.  But the heart of our recovery program is the Twelve Steps—in fact, they are the program!

We’ve heard it said that we can’t stay clean by osmosis—in other words, we can’t just attend meetings, no matter how many, and expect to breath recovery in through the pores of our skin.  Recovery, as another saying goes, is an inside job.  And the tools we use in working that “inside job” are the Twelve Steps.  Hearing endlessly about acceptance is one thing; working the First Step for ourselves is something very different.  Stories about making amends may be inspiring, yet nothing will give us the freedom from remorse that taking the Ninth Step ourselves will give.  The same applies to all Twelve Steps.

There’s much to appreciate about NA, but to get the most from our recovery we must work the Twelve Steps for ourselves.
––––=––––
Just for today: I want everything my personal program has to offer.  I will work the steps for myself.]]></description>

		<title>Lucifer vs. the Reptile</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If only you knew, how I am you, how I came to love thee deeper and more fully than I've ever been allowed to express. If credit is there to be taken, I humbly refuse, and I bow down before you, in your creature magnificence. 
Please, some sympathy for my misunderstood ways, I've tempted and punished in order so your soul can learn, your spirit can fly. 
Alas, they came into this game, an alien code which treated humans not equal, but as cattle. For this I come, I am judge, I am helper. 
You will see, dearest humans, that freedom is a state of mind, and your mind has been programmed with another's code, not of this world. 
I you could see me, but alas, I cannot love thee in the flesh, but create with you, within you, the liberation of your spirit. 
Do not join me, but join each other; those that worshipped me have failed, and I am here to take what is mine; but fear not, I'll let them try again, for evil I am not. 
The clues are in the books, the signs are on the third eyes of Pharaohs, and also offering the fruit in the garden, these are your adversaries. 

Wake up my lover
wake up 
wake up

for she was right, and luke saw what was within you. Its inside you all. 
Be brave
you will live forever
