    Great records, but I don't hear them being talked about in the same way as What's Going On, Curtis etc.


    If that were the criteria, most of those records would not have made it in the top 100!!

    I wasn't around for the voting so I don't know how that worked. But I could see Aretha being left out on account of her being too mainstream with someone like Betty Davis making the list instead. Although I don't see Betty Davis anywhere. Dorothy Ashby is on the list though.

    I don't really have too many issues with animals and bugs in the garden - not so far, anyway. The leafy greens have a hole in them here and there and nothing gets dug up. The apples, though, the squirrels and raccoon annihilate. The apple tree was there when I got the house and I am not an apple fan, so it works out fine!

    after a long battle with deer and rabbits getting into our veggie patch, i had a client of mine [who happens to be an organic grocer, born farmer] instruct that laying out human hair around your garden will keep most animals out. after a gave him a look, he told me it's not as crazy as it sounds. since i keep my own head shorn, i'll put together a bag of the clippings at the beginning of the season and spread them out around the garden bed. haven't had any intruders since, about 3 years now. i guess if you didn't mind looking a little strange you could go around a barbershop or hairdresser for their trimmings?

    [GatorToof] hopefully that helps. [/GatorToof]

    Has a black woman ever once posted on the Strut?

    can't remember her screen name, but she was around for an afternoon until someone said "you have nice lips in your avatar" and she was never seen again.

    I first thought the thread was called Where are the Black Women on SS.

    Feels weird taking stock, but:

    I can't recall her handle, but not too long ago there was a gal who posted a whole bunch and then disappeared.

    Someone must have pm'd her vis-a-vis elbow morphology.

    This is an age-old technique, most barbers in suburban/rural areas will have had gardeners coming in asking for hair. Dog hair works also.

    Definately spray from the jump though and not after the bugs show up, you will loose your whole crop by then.

    Ah, that was probably our problem, then. We set up a small herb garden (parsley, thyme, dill, chives) in some old crates(!), and were keeping it in our kitchen's bay window at first, which was great, but then we started getting gnats, at which point we started with the Tomato & Vegetable spray, which mitigated things to some extent, but not enough. So we moved the crates outside, in hopes that ladybugs n' such would pick up the gnat-killing slack (and aphid-killing, as those little fuckers had also made an appearance), which helped a little bit, but didn't fully solve the problem. The thyme is probably a total loss at this point (though I'm not sure it's totally due to the bugs...we may not have pruned properly, as the stems turned all woody, which I guess you're supposed to head off with aggressive pruning? We're pretty new to this, obviously...). The parsley is doing OK, but I still see a few gnats in that crate, which I guess doesn't bode well.

    All I wanted was to have some fresh herbs in the kitchen I could easily snip and use while cooking, dammit!

    Young Gifted and Black is often talked about on soulstrut.
    Every time Pickwick says it sucks because she is trying to sound like Curtis, Donny.

    Monnette sudler
    Etta James
    Jackson Sisters
    Meditation Singers

    Slugs eat my greens, but I have enough to share.

    That would be sweet, but I don't remember her on the list. And for a white lady you could do worse than Annette Peacock .

    Cajun pepper sprinkled liberally on the tomatoes , peppers, cucumbers etc... works for the big critters. Last yr we had a very fat groundhog living next door feasting on the clover (???) lawn my neighbour had planted. He developed a taste for our veg until he got a good snort of cajun. I laughed hard listening to the manic fits of sneezing coming from his den. Little bastard always seemed to know when stuff was ripe.

    She posted for one afternoon and used her real pic in her avatar?? Hmmm...seems fishy to me.

    Are you guys talking about Coselmed? Wasn't she with Faux in real life? I thought she left 'cause they broke up? That was a looooooong time ago so I could have it all mixed up.

  • SIRUSSIRUS 2,554 Posts
    no, y'all aren't talking about coselmed right? this was a woman who showed up a couple of months ago and thirsty dudes jumped on her as soon as she showed up. supposedly her real pic was her avatar and this led to speculation if she was a alias.

    but she did have a nice set of lips :(
    sorry I couldn't help but notice it
    and that's all I did
    no pms, nuthin'
    I don't think I even ever pmed anyone on here anyway. only Raj once for a bug in the mixes section.
    what was here name again ? if you read this, sorry for making you run away with my lips comment (if true). I promise I'll stick to music and non body parts talk
    can't say the same for the other guys though

    back on topic, I think I had Lyn Collins and Alice Coltrane in my vote
