Hello, I am new to this forum, and came here from Idig. I like the amount of forums you got here Allen.
A little about myself: As most know on Idig, I am a christian. Although I believe that the the Lord is the only way to God, as he states in the bible, I am not here to force nothing on anyone. I believe I have stated that before at Idig. You can be in complete disagreement with me, and thats ok. I stand by my faith in the Lord first, but I know that the real christianity does not make anyone do anything. I did not become one by being forced, only by hearing of the Lord's love for me, and realizing my own failure to measure up.
I am a locksmith by trade, although there are areas I need to freshen up on. Currently I am a cook, as my DL got into some hot water so to speak....
I started out enjoying growing things by originally growing cannabis of all things. I quit that, but I never lost the love for seeing a plant grow, due to my care. I love to garden, and really my joy in plants is bamboo. I have several types of the tropical clumping kind. One is called Timor black which is very beautiful with black culms that can grow to sixty feet tall or so, and have a diameter of four inches. Another one is a giant that comes from India, and produces a silver to grey black finely furry culm that is huge. It can grow to about seven inches in diameter here in Florida, and about eighty feet tall. This one always amazes those who see it, cause most have never seen one even close to this big. It is easily big enough to climb it, and the teddy bear like fur is a really odd quality about it. I also have a really nice one called painted hawaiian, which is a bright yellow, with occasional green stripes that look painted on. It is extremely vigorous, and puts up multiple culms each year. It can grow quite large as well, with culms ranging about four inches in diameter and roughly fourty to fifty feet tall.
On top of the bamboo, I like to grow papayas. I have several types, with three being high producers of high quality fruit. These are my second favorite plants to grow.
Other than my love for growing, I also enjoy weight training, and other forms of exercise. I try to eat as natural as possible, and stay away from processed foods. I am not a vegetarian, although I eat plenty of veggies. I tend to stick to the whole foods, and enjoy a diet rich in calories, protein and veggies. I am a natural trainer, although I do use supplements that work well.
I am not really into politics anymore, but I do comment on things that appear wrong, like this war, this administration and their misuse of the constitution(patriot act, etc) and other wrong things like gmos.
By the way, Allen I thought it was wrong how zman was allowed to throw out some messed up comments, starting trouble on purpose. He should have been banned for causing problems, and I sent a email to Jere giving my opinion on that. Jere seems to be a good natured guy, but for whatever reason he banned you, but said nothing to Zman. I can't figure out that one. To me, anyone who starts trouble for no reason would be the first to go, especially if I warned that person, but what can I say? Its not my site. Oh well. I like to give people the benefit of the doubt, but some people just like to cause problems for no reason but for their enjoyment.
Well, it looks like you got a interesting site here, and many different rooms, so its nice to be here, if I am welcome.
