I'm gonna restate: there is no battle. And the who of it is a decent member. And it's going to work out into the warmest fuzzy you ever saw!0 -

Right on man.0 -
So what's your story, JC....you must be working?
I'm a grad student, so I'm allowed to be up at this hour, but you're a responsible citizen, right? So you need an excuse, right?0 -

Not real sure about the responsible citizen part. Yhea, I work nights. Not usually here on Wed., but it's mandatory overtime where I work so here I am. Just trying to do my part, and living the dream.
What are you going to school for?0 -

I'm an ecologist. Which is not an environmentalist. I study the population growth of weedy grasses, and I try to find physiological predictors of said population growth. My study organism is cheatgrass, which basically means that my work is all theoretical, because we have no hope of controlling cheatgrass, ever. But if I can make my ideas work with cheatgrass, they might work with some other species that we can control.
Does that make sense? Flame away, because I need to learn how to make my research sound sensible to non-science-geeks if I am to be funded for my future research. Seriously, flames right now are helpful to me.
And with respect to the environmentalist thing....ecologists study the relationships between organisms and their environments .....environmentalists advocate for the preservation of the environment. Many ecologists happen to be environmentalists, most environmentalists are not ecologists.0 -

I work for Micron Technology in Boise Idaho. I sit in a small room all night and stare at screens that monitor alarms all across the plant. What are you going to school for Spurg?0 -
E. corollata is one of my favorite perennials. One of the earliest spring bloomers then subtle pink color in the fall. 0 -

Help me out, Woods....what's the E. short for? (And fair warning, if it ain't native, I probably don't know it, so common names might help too).0 -
I understand what you mean (at least I think I do) I'm kind of an undercover science nerd. Microbiology, advanced Biology. Infectious diseases. That and history were my good classes. Check into Ragweed. I hear it's a problem. [:)] 0 -
I didn't know that Micron was out of Boise....so close, and yet so alien! Really, I work with computers daily, and rather insist on having up-to-date computers, but I hardly know what that means, except that I buy something expensive every three years or so.
What do I go to school for? Maybe I didn't make this clear. I said "I'm an ecologist," which I think I can do because I have my Master's already. But I'm still in school for ecology. So everything that followed that statement had to do with my studies. I C&P a bit of it below to recap. Again, if it doesn't make sense, please let me know because I need to learn how to present my research to non-geeks if I want to be funded in the future.

Yhea, sorry. I read it before but for some reason I asked the question again.0 -
Euphorbia also known by its common name, Garden Spurge. It's a succulent. Grasses must be a fascinating study. I've devoted a fair amount of time in casual study of the flora on my woodlot, identifying the trees, shrubs, and native perennials. The grasses would be a good project. I would likely be surprised at the number of species on the property, but, identification for me would likely be difficult. It's hard for me to get excited about grasses, since we take them for granted unless working on a landscaping project. 0 -

That's funny. I can see how you thought I'd get E. corollata. I call myself spurgemastur because for my master's degree I worked with the noxious weed, leafy spurge, E. esula, (which you probably have in your region). I'd call leafy spurge a semi-succulent, but I'll admit I've never heard anybody call anything a semi-succulent before in my life. Anyway, it's more succulent than most things and very much less succulent than a jade plant. I know of about three other Euphorbia species that are viable north of 45 degrees lattitude and none of them is E. corollata. Then again, the Euphorbia genus is extraordinarily large, is represented on at least five of the seven continents and comprises several thousand species.
With respect to grasses...they are tough! Even as a person who loves to work in grasslands, and whose primary study organism is a grass...grasses are tough! There are a few (maybe 10) grass species that really turn my crank. By this I mean: species that for whatever reason just make me happy when I see them. There are a few more (maybe 40) grass species that I can recognize on sight. And the rest of the grass species (several thousand, I think)? Well, I have yet to understand why I should love them. They don't make pretty flowers like the orchids or the figworts or the lillies or.......(I could go on for a while, here). Again: grasses are tough.0 -
At work, busy as hell. Been here for 3hrs now, it's now 7:20am. 0 -
Euphorbia emits a sticky substance, but it doesn't really have the texture of a cactus or jade plant. I don't have any formal plant training, just know enough to be dangerous.
I enjoy the look I've gotten a few times when I tell people that the best way to think of their lawns is that they are a collection of millions of tiny individual plants.0 -
"anybody still lurking around?"
I don't lurk.
Perverts lurk.
I steal around stealthily.
That's the tactical version of lurking.
Stealth isn't perverted.
