    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    So I solo almost exclusively because I'm bad and don't want to inflict that pain on others, but I'm going to try the mage tower finally on my outlaw rogue at ilvl 937. What buffs can I use that won't be stripped or can't be case once inside?: Lightforged Augment Rune Repurposed Fel Focuser The...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    This is me basically, although I'm still playing because I like collecting things from old content and will complete Legion things after I level in BFA. I even have 2 classes with champions limited to 5 and 900 armor because dungeons are required for more (rogue, warrior). Meanwhile, my monk...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Just gotta keep at it. I finally got a Firelands mount last night after 310 attempts (I'm guessing not as bad as your Invincible luck, though). Unfortunately it was Alryszor's so I still have to clear the whole damn raid to try for Ragnaros' mount.

    It's pretty good, but my favorite is cherry pomegranate. Walmart's strawberry house brand is good too, very tart, but they don't always have it -strawberry watermelon is an OK substitute.

    When did bottle replace boggle and mindbottling replace mindboggling on this forum? Unless that's ironic usage, too.

    Fiddleleaf fig? I have a small one as I like growing things from small to large. It is slow growing but appears to take neglect well.

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    I normally don't do this, but will happily if it's a busy place like Costco, where I always do it if possible. It's a pain in the ass backing out when 1 car is hovering nearby and too close for comfort waiting to pounce as soon as you vacate and other cars are also passing by constantly.

    If you're in Ventura county, check out Topper's for pizza. Small chain, about 7 restaurants total. Always crowded, always wins local newspaper readers/viewers choice awards and it is worthy of them. Good pizza, salad bar. Don't bother getting black olives, though. They are tasteless.

    If you're mount farming, don't kill Al'Akir too fast in Throne of the Four Winds or you won't get the flying buff and be able to loot the crystal. Was able to do this pre 7.3.5.

    Used to visit Crystal City a lot for work. There was a great lunch place, I think it was called Cedar Deli and don't know if it's still there. Always ordered the tuna club, so good.

    Question from an idiot and complete bumbler on home repair/improvement. The faucet at the bottom of my water heater started leaking so I bought an end cap. Screwed it on as tight as I could with a wrench but it is still leaking (the end cap does have a washer). Was this the wrong solution...

    Thanks. Mine will be staying indoors. Southern California in winter is the rainy season so they wouldn't do well outdoors here. I usually let it get down to 60 at night indoors - maybe that will be cold enough. It will be tough for me not to water as I generally worry a lot about...

    I think you'll need the leaves to get things really going, and lots of them relative to the other stuff. I've read that too much grass tends to make for slimy and not too good compost.

    Looks great. Had one of those as a house plant recently but it went horribly. Never put out new growth but seemed stable until I went away for 10 days and it never recovered from the lack of water (for about 6 days, I had a contraption that gave it about 4 days of water worth.

    Just started composting myself. There's a TED talk on composting that recommends the way the Dutch do it, which is exclusively dead leaves (brown) and coffee grounds (green). All other kitchen waste is verboten. I'm trying that method.

    Turns out I was needlessly worried about not enough sun for my dahlias as they are blooming fully and there are plenty of buds. It looks a bit haphazard because I screwed up when planting the bulbs. I thought the oblong parts hanging from the bulbs had to be separated and planted - rookie...

    Planted some dahlias for the first time (dwarfs, from bulbs) and the first bud is starting to open but it's taking a long time - like several days now and it's still not fully open. Is this normal? I'm worried because they only get about 4 hours of sun per day. Also, the last few days have...

    I don't follow any rules when repotting cacti, hasn't hurt me so far! In this case, I'll just wait until the flowering is over. The barrel cactus just isn't growing much where it is and last year there was an entire ring of flowers.
