Donna asks…

How do I make a lot money on webkinz without cheating?

I know how to play all the games but it take for ever just to get 1 kinzcash on a game, can you please tell me how to make kinzcash easier and faster? Thanks =]

GardenersCardiff answers:

I’ve made a load of KinzCash by following this routine:

First, hit the ‘easy money’ items every day – wishing well, wheel of wow, gem hunt, daily care. Look them up on “Today’s Activities”. Also check the Daily Activities to see when free cash, free stuff, and extra spins are going on, and sign on just to do them.

Then go to “Contact Us”, click on “Comments & Suggestions”. Answer the question and earn fast and easy money. (I think this is only once a week.)

Go to the employment office. Do it every day, stick with the same job(s) whenever possible, because as you get better, you’ll get more money for the same job.

Check the sales at the W shop. Stock up on any food that is a good price so you won’t have to buy it at full price later. OR, start a garden. You only have to pay for seeds once, and you keep growing food, and won’t have to pay for food anymore.

Answer questions at Quizzys. You’ll earn a *lot* more money there than in the arcade, for the same amount of time. Answer the younger-age questions if you are short on time, because they will be easy and therefore fast for you.

Sell items you don’t want. You can even sell gak back to the W shop.

The easiest way to get kinzcash is to adopt more webkinz. You get $2000 and lots of free bonuses. But of course they cost money. Ask for them for gifts, or ask if you can do chores or reading to save up for one as a reward.

Have fun!

Mark asks…

What are good Korean Dramas to watch that are showing recently?

I watched Boye’s over flowers, Secret Garden, City Hunter, and i just finished Heartstring
I don’t really want them done airing thank you

GardenersCardiff answers:

I’ve been watching kdramas this whole summer so these are some of the one’s ive watched that i really enjoyed but they are pretty new but arnt airing there all compplete but like still really new and being watched by many

Your beautiful is one of my fav’s:

Its about The management company of an idol group called A.N.JELL, which insisted on adding a new singer to the group. The lead vocal, Tae Kyung’s (main singer) voice was hurting and thats why they want to add another vocolist. However,the new member, Mi Nam, had to go to the States to repair a botched eye job just before signing the contract. His agent came up with the idea of having his twin sister, Mi Nyu,to stand in for him and pretend that she was her brother. The two of them grew up in an orphanage and Mi Nyu, who was all set to become a nun, agreed to this charade as she didn’t want to spoil her brother’s chance of fame which would make it easier to look for their mother.

Also you should watch playful kiss which is also sometimes known as mischievous kiss. It has one of the characters from B.O.F.:

Oh Ha Ni is a clumsy student who falls for the perfectionist, Baek Seung Jo. However, Seung Jo is indifferent towards her and rejects her love. When Ha Ni’s house collapses, she and her father moves into his long-time friend’s house. It turns out that Seung Jo is the friend’s son and Ha Ni is given the opportunity to be near the guy she loves. Will she be able to move Seung Jo’s heart?

Coffee prince:

Go Eun Chan (Yoon Eun Hye) works many jobs to pay off debts and even gave up her feminine image. Choi Han Kyul (Gong Yoo) is the heir of a big food company, but his grandmother wants him to settle down, so she arranged many dates for him. After Eun Chan bumped into Han Kyul and was mistaken for a boy, Han Kyul decided to hire Eun Chan to be his gay lover in order to avoid the arranged dates. Desperately in need of money, Eun Chan had no choice but to accept. Han Kyul’s grandmother also made Han Kyul in charge of a filthy coffee shop in danger of being bankrupt. Eun Chan begged to work at the coffee shop, and not long after, feelings start to spark, except, how would Han Kyul accept his “homosexuality”?

(my girl) this one is sooo cute i kept saying awww when i watched it :

When Gong Chan (Lee Dong Wook) meets the lively and beautiful Yoo Rin (Lee Da Hae), he finds out that she has connections to his missing cousin, whom his grandfather has been searching for. He asks Yoo Rin to lie about being his long missing cousin until he can find his real cousin. She says yes, but soon their feelings for each other get in the way of their plans. Gong Chan’s friend, Jung Woo (Lee Jun Ki) falls for Yoo Rin while Gong Chan’s ex-girlfriend, Seo Hyun (Park Si Yeon), a pro tennis player, tries to win him back. Will the two ever tell each other how they feel? Will Gong Chan ever find his real cousin?

Lisa asks…

How do you get rid of household ants such as Pharaoh Ants? Any home made bait or traps?

Also how to get rid of the nest?

GardenersCardiff answers:

Knowing where the nest is and how they gained access to the house should be one part of your research.

With no offense meant at all I’m always bothered by what so many assume in the strict definition of BAIT. Most often poisoned food substances. Any food residue is most attractive to insect type critters; even when invisible to us. AND might continue to attract even new hatchlings.

I never tried this on ants; but since they have an exoskeleton; as Roaches do; and Boric Acid powder is most effective on Roaches; though not strictly a “poison” to them; you might try it. It is toxic to Human and animals mammals however. It’s readily available in hardware stores Lowes; HD; some garden shops; and is relatively inexpensive as well as being easy to dispense in soft plastic bottles with nozzles.

Paul asks…

Has any one had some weird gritty weed recently ??

There seems to be this strange gritty”weed” about again, does anyone know what it is,is it all over the country and should you really not smoke it ‘im back on normally grass its not gritty and it cheep !! but this gritty stuff is enough to drive you to grow your own

GardenersCardiff answers:

YOu shouldn’t be smoking weed at all…

Maria asks…

Whats the current situation with the law on weed usage in uk at the moment?

What is currently being talked about? is there a chance it’ll be decriminalized soon or what? I need to know the political facts.

— This is also a little opinion what I feel about weed & its usage. I got a tad angry when I talk about it :P.

Weed is a natural grown plant, Your own existence is a natural born thing & because of our life spans we only have a limited amount of time to experience things on this world.

Either that be smoking weed or travelling to different country’s ( which is also becoming harder.. pfft )
What you choose to put inside of your body during that time should be completely up to you aslong as you’re responsible for it. ( deja vu.. achohol? ).

Not only is it proven by scientist’s that it helps make people’s illness’s less frustrating from day-to-day but it also stops aggression ( Maybe it makes you lazy or a peaceful person it doesn’t matter).

& even though the government blames damages it can cause (which is alod of BULL****) It’s becoming more apparent that its just to save them money.

I’ve been smoking now for about 4-5 years & my anxiety, temper & low tolerance to be around kids have all improve dramatically. I can now communicate with my family even though I hate the sight of anything family-oriented.

& I even rarely blaze a j in public by accident just due to the fact that I forget such a thing is illegal ( I facepalm everytime I think about it )

Not only that but they are legally brainwashing kids in school’s that there are virtually NO pro’s to weed that its all just bad & gives you a effed up head. ( which again is alot of BULL**** )

So who the **** do they think they are to tell ME ( A person who has NO choice to follow laws because there is no free land anymore ) that I cant put a (god given?) gift into my body that makes me a better person just because they’ll loose alittle money? ( Which they could even profit from is they weren’t such ****’s about things )

It’s to the point where they literately hide behind political talking but in lamans terms its “Basically we cant make money from it if we legalize it so your not gonna grow it. but please make sure to stop by your local pub & buy a heavily taxed drink instead because thats where our money comes in. & bring some change, You’ll want some cigs to go with that drink )

High crime is another thing, maybe you havent noticed or just choose to ignore it but kids & criminals these days are doing anything they want because maybe they are bored & have no education. Legalise weed? It’ll make them more passive & more open to new experiences.

Any old person you ask ( That didn’t have any internet so they learnt from other clueless person ) what they think about it.

“It’s bad, It’ll give you paranoia & make you a schizophrenic. ” Actually my friend is heavily schizophrenic & It’s stopped him from killing himself & possibly others because its the ONLY thing in the world that is helping his mentality stay intact. ( If law found out & took it away from him he’d become a threat ( Our priority is you? Pfft. )

So please. tell me, What is the uk doing about legalising or decriminizing this miracle drug that’s helped so many lives under the eyes of the Man-made law that seem to want to get rid of something that makes people better.

If anyone wants to negatively reply to this, firstly ask yourself. What exactly do YOU know about the effects of weed? & Who told you? a person who also got told before the days of information-spread internet lies by the government.

Good day. I hope you support the drug when the opportunity arrise’s even if you dont smoke it because its saving lives & lowering petty crime due to a new ability to be passive which again, the government only seem to want to prevent.

GardenersCardiff answers:

I agree, I suffer from depression angsiety and panic attacks, when iv had as little as 4 bongs I feel absolutley great! I’m a nice person any way but it makes me much more tollerable of the idiots I pass on the street, I walk down the street n wanna help everyone if I see they might need it. You don’t see violence when someones stoned but on a night of drink ppl end up in hospital! I recon if they legalised it it would get more expensive it would prpbably be sold in the shop for 25 quid for 1.4g tax! So I dnt think it should be legal I think it shpuld be tollerated like in amsterdam, its not legal there its tollerated, in cafes in ur own home etc. If its tollerated over here there won’t be any agro on growing some for personal use! Me and my partner smoke it almost daily he works and I’m the homemaker, over all if weed was tollerated by the authorities there would be less violence, less crime n less sh*t for everyone.

Sharon asks…

Gritty weed ? why are people still buying it

There seems to be this strange gritty”weed” about again, does anyone know what it is,is it all over the country? and why r people still buying it ? ‘im back on normally grass its not gritty and it cheep !! but this gritty stuff is enough to drive you to grow your own

GardenersCardiff answers:

I don’t know.

That cr*p only gets me high for a total of 15 to 20 minutes and then I just end up with a headache.

From speaking to people on this subject in the past, I think that a lot of people buy it because they don’t have access to much else in their neighborhood.

Maria asks…

Do Christian families need help in homeschooling their children?

One day while Father was away at work, a knock came at the door of the family’s home. Mother opened the door and found a stern man with sharp teeth and a very pointy nose standing on the doorstep.

“May I help you?” Mother asked.
“I am here,” snarled the man, “to inspect your home and your children.”
Mother was surprised. “Whatever for?” she asked.

“It has been reported,” snapped Mr. Pointy Nose, “that you do not institutionalize your children, as is the norm. It has been reported that you spend an abnormal amount of time with your children, and you have been seen laughing with them, and they with you. It has been reported that your teen child is not embarrassed to be seen with you and that she smiles while working in your garden and hanging laundry. I will have to inspect your house and ask you some questions.”

Mother invited Mr. Pointy Nose in and offered him a cup of tea. Mr. Pointy Nose pulled a great pile of papers from his briefcase and began asking important questions: “How many television sets do you own, how often do you dine out, why do you have so many books, what do you have against institutions, why do you grow your own food, do your children know who Madonna is, how about Beavis and Butthead?”

GardenersCardiff answers:

So Mother answered all Mr. Pointy Nose’s questions to his satisfaction, and he left.

And they grew up to be annoying Fundies who hung out on R&S and perplexed atheists.

Betty asks…

Hi, fellow Senior Citizens today I was wondering if there are any….?

gardeners amongst us?

Do any of you cultivate your own fruit and veg,or grow flowers ?

Hubby and I have a wonderful flower garden and are now quite proficient in growing Floribunda and Tea roses.
Considering we live on the coast we are delighted with the results this year.

How about you, any green fingers amongst us?

GardenersCardiff answers:

My garden is a bit unusual, but thriving. Turnips, parsnips, cucumbers, squash, peas, brockley, brussel sprouts, cabbage, water melons, cantaloupe, musk melons, crenshaw melons, potatoes, lettuce, chard, corn, sun chokes, seedless grapes, and the trees are loaded with apricots, plumbs, and cherries. It’s like a jungle out there. It’s my retreat.

Joseph asks…

Why cant marijuana be legalized if………………….?

Alcohol and cigarettes and so many legal drugs are legal if they kill far more than marijuana? People say that since they cant tax it because then people would just grow their own? What about alcohol? People could easily make their alcohol and beer and liquor (moonshining) and theres no problem keeping alcohol legal. People could easily grow their own tobacco but they dont have a problem keeping that legal and people will still buy it taxed. People could grow their own fruits and vegetables, why not make that illegal? Theres other legal drugs like datura and saliva which can easily get a person intoxicated and crazy, yet thats perfectly legal! You can make your own ginger for tea and feel better, why not make that illegal? Whats this whole fascination with marijuana and trying to keep it illegal? Wanting to keeping illegal is almost like supporting the dangerous drug dealers and drug cartels and the black market of drugs. What do you think will happen to that black market if those drugs were legalized?
How can anyone support freedom and liberty and also support the law on drugs when law abiding citezens should have the choice of them especially if they are responsible with it?
Whats the big deal and whats the problem why marijuana cant be legalized? What about peoples rights?

GardenersCardiff answers:

Hi. Your right. It is Double Standard. Many do not want to legalize it I think due to fear that those who use it would just do it all day and not work and be responsible in other areas of their life. It’s the same with alcohol though people abuse it and it’s legal. I think we each are accountable for our own actions. Peace

Gardening tips, Annual year round collection of flowers?

Ok, I’m trying to find flowers, that will grow in ireland, that are annual.
I’m trying to make windowboxes that never have to be changed, that old flowers grow when the ones before them are dying, that doesnt have to be reset and every year the flowers come again. I like daffodills, but they only last for a certain amount of time. Does anyone Know a collection of flowers I could stick into the boxes for a year round(or close to) annual flowering?? Plus I have hanging baskets if you have any annual trailing one?

GardenersCardiff answers:

Try some evergreens like lavender or rosemary together with some spring bulbs like daffs and tulips and some small perennials that are also hardy so will survive the winters.

Thomas asks…

need your help: is this apology letter appropriate? Warning: kind of Long.?

Just to fill you in on my situation, I recently decided to drop out of an acting program after having spend 3 months in the class. I didn’t say a word to any of my classmates or teachers, and after dropping out I regretted it and tried to get back in to the class. but i went about it the wrong way and just ended up showing up to class on the first day back from spring break. The teacher (Tom) didn’t let me back in.

But anyways, I just felt the need to apologize to my classmates because it was the first day back and was the first time they were doing scenes together with a partner and I felt that me showing up might have been a distraction to what was already a big day for them in class. I also felt bad about how i dropped out without saying anything, so i felt the need to write this letter to them explaining myself and apologizing.

But i wasn’t sure if it was even appropriate I write this or whether I was just further being presumptuous that I even had to apologize. Also please see if the letter makes any sense of if there are parts where it doesn’t seem like it.

Thanks.

Here’s the letter:

Risking the fear that this is presumptuous of me, I feel the need to apologize. I’m sorry if my presence in Monday’s class was in any way a distraction. I’m also sorry if I seemed closed off but I only acted that way because I was embarrassed about how I had left things with you guys.

After I missed class a couple weeks back and decided to drop out, I had severe regrets, was a mess and talked to Tom begging him to give me another chance after he already had offered me a 2nd chance that I had refused. But, I guess I was still ambivalent about the whole situation because on the one hand I didn’t feel like I was ready to make the commitment to the program or whether I even had the will and desire to really pursue acting; but on the other hand, I also didn’t want to lose my purpose for coming out here, and also was unsure if maybe I was just doubting myself because I was afraid to fail, or just embarrassed to go back and that I should fight through it and continue in the class.
But this ambivalence made me indecisive and cowardly and I still wasn’t sure what I was going to decide, so I never called Tom days before Monday’s class like I should have. Then Monday came, and when I woke up at 5:45pm because I had worked the graveyard shift the night before, I had received an email from Tom (sent around 5pm) asking me where I stood since we last spoke. And because the time was so close to the start of class, and because I knew Tom would be in class teaching, I didn’t have time to think really, so I replied to his email telling him I was going to the studio, and I hopped on a cab, and headed to class in the hopes of being able to attend. In that moment, I was just worried about not missing another class if there was a chance, however remote, that I would have been allowed back in.

In retrospect, I realize that was really dumb of me to assume, even selfish because I wasn’t really thinking of the effect that me just showing up would have had on others. I’m sorry, I panicked. I wasn’t thinking clearly and haven’t really through this whole thing, and I guess this latest incident just reinforced to myself that I’m not ready, or at least not deserving of another chance, and how it was unfair for me to continue to use up Tom’s patience and good graces.

What can I say? I’m human and make mistakes. I’m just a fucked up person trying to find his place in the universe. Maybe it’s acting, maybe not. Who knows? But I have to figure it out on my own and without involving others in my own uncertainties.

In a way, I feel like I let you guys down. We were growing together as a family, and I left without even saying a word. It was selfish and inconsiderate of me and I was ashamed about it. I couldn’t even really look any of you in the eyes on Monday because I felt that if I did I would burst into tears in acknowledgment of all of my wrongdoings.
Good luck to all of you and I will miss each of you deeply. I have nothing but admiration for all of your courage, dedication, and talents. As for me, don’t worry about me. I’m fine, and will continue to study acting on my own. I’ll still be in the city indefinitely, so if anyone ever wants to hang out or just talk about movies or acting or anything really, I’ll still be here.

GardenersCardiff answers:

No, it really isn’t, it’s very odd. It seems terribly self-conscious and a bit desperate and needy. Please don’t send it. No apology or contact at all is required. It’s all over with now.
Please be mindful of the fact that while all this seems like a ‘big deal’ to you, the re-emergence of a fellow student they had only known for three months will barely register as noteworthy to these students who have spent the intervening period concentrating on their own studies and friendships with one another.
Just move on and try to resist that impulse to explain your every move to those people who have crossed your path, however fleetingly. It isn’t Facebook!

GardenersCardiff answers:

OK, first impression: did you really form a close enough bond with all of these people to warrant this kind of a generalized response? I think your teacher, Tom, is deserving of a formal apology on your part, but maybe the rest of the class (unless you have some specifically close friends or acquaintances that you can see yourself continuing a relationship with outside of class) doesn’t need to be included in such a letter. Including the rest of the class sounds incredibly grandiose.

In my opinion, the “As for me, don’t worry about me. I’m fine, and will continue to study acting on my own.” line sounds like something from a really, really bad movie script–No offense. I wouldn’t include that in any way shape or form. It’s in poor taste and makes you look like a wreck who’s perhaps a little self-pitying. I mean, did you have a nervous break down or something? Do you normally speak this candidly with everyone you come in contact with? Life happens, you were indecisive and thought you wanted out of the class. Enough said, don’t break down into this long expressive gesture. Maybe it’s just me, but I think it’ll make people a little uncomfortable.

Ken asks…

I saw this on somebody elses answer yesterday & feel it should be on here in its own right?

1. Bifocals Barbie. Comes with her own set of blended-lens fashion frames in six wild colors (half-frames too)! Neck chain and large-print editions of Vogue and Martha Stewart Living.

2. Hot Flash Barbie. Press Barbie’s bellybutton and watch her face turn beet red while tiny drops of perspiration appear on her forehead! With hand-held fan and tiny tissues.

3. Facial Hair Barbie. As Barbie’s hormone levels shift, see her whiskers grow! Available with teensy tweezers and magnifying mirror.

4. Flabby Arms Barbie. Hide Barbie’s droopy triceps with these new, roomier-sleeved gowns. Good news on the tummy front, too: muumuus with tummy support panels are included!

5. Bunion Barbie. Years of disco dancing in stiletto heels have definitely taken their toll on Barbie’s dainty arched feet. Soothe her sores with the pumice stone and plasters, and then slip on soft terry mules.

6. No More Wrinkles Barbie. Erase those pesky crow’s-feet and lip lines with a tube of Skin Sparkle-Spackle, from Barbie’s own line of exclusive age-blasting cosmetics.

7. Soccer Mom Barbie. All that experience as a cheerleader is really paying off as Barbie dusts off her old high school megaphone to root for Babs and Ken, Jr. With mini van in robins egg blue or white, and cooler filled with doughnut holes and fruit punch.

8. Mid-life Crisis Barbie. It’s time to ditch Ken. Barbie needs a change, and Fred (her personal trainer) is just what the doctor ordered, along with Prozac. They’re hopping in her new red Miata and heading for the Napa Valley to open a B&B. Comes with real tape of “Breaking Up Is Hard to Do”

9. Divorced Barbie. Sells for $199.99. Comes with Ken’s house, Ken’s car, and Ken’s boat.–lol still funny

10. Single Mother Barbie. There’s not much time for primping anymore! Ken’s shacked up with the Swedish au pair in the Dream House and Barbie’s across town with Babs and Ken, Jr, in a fourth-floor walk-up. Barbie’s selling off her old gowns and accessories to raise rent money. Complete garage sale kit included.

11. Recovery Barbie. Too many parties have finally caught up with the ultimate party girl. Now she does twelve steps instead of dance steps! Clean and sober, she’s going to meetings religiously. Comes with little copy of The Big Book and six-pack of Diet Coke.

12. Post Menopausal Barbie. Poor Babs wets her pants when she sneezes, forgets where she puts things, and cries a lot. She is sick and tired of Ken sitting on the couch watching the tube, clicking through the channels. Comes with Depends and Kleenex. As a bonus this year, she comes with the book, “Getting in Touch with Your Inner

Laura asks…

Advice on growing your own mushrooms?

Not sure where to post this,
I have bought one of those “grow your own Shii-Take mushrooms kits” from a garden centre.
I am at the stage where they have instructed me to put them in a bucket of water for 48 hours then put them in 2-3 cm of water in the polystyrene box and leave at the window for around 5 weeks.
They state that the germinating period will happen within that time however, it has not stated if the box lid should be opened or closed.
I have kept it open and the instructions say that there should be lots of white stuff (which there is) where the mushys will grow from.
I am wondering if any one has bought these kits and if they have kept the lid open at this stage or had to have them in complete darkness for any amount of time??
I am following the instructions to the letter but have never done this before and don’t know if it looks right. Any advice on this is appreciated.

GardenersCardiff answers:

The Mycellium gives off carbon dioxide as it grows, which helps it grow. It also needs subdued light, not direct light. When it pins (tiny bumps that will grow into edible part of the Shroom) CO2 will cause the flush to be tall and spindly as it reaches for the Oxygen.

Set it on a shelf with subdued light. Leave the lid open. When the shroom pins, fold the box so plenty of oxygen gets to the shroom, so the caps and stapes won’t be deformed.

John asks…

what do you need to grow your own mushrooms and how do you make mushroom tea?

GardenersCardiff answers:

I am assuming you are talking about the Kombucha Mushroom. It is not a drug, or have any “odd effects” 100% legal….you drink the tea you make from it. It is considered a healthy drink..I myself never found any benefits from it. You can find may places to buy it online…it reproduces on it’s own, so you only need to buy it once. These sites will also offer all kinds of free info on the Tea making…many, many different recipes….I Always used a large glass jar with a large mouth, because it will grow to the size of the container. It wants a mild / dark space to grow. It sits in water & as you change the water…weekly, it is the old water that you use to make your tea. You will also have lots & lots new Kombucha to separate and sell or use as plant fertilizer….
