What does pep mean?

Is Pep a housewife? He's many things but definitely NOT that. I am not that either I am glad to say - I'm what they call "resting" between scheduled work but its pi**ing wih rain where I am (Hello East Coast, USA/Canada) and I am bored. yoo young to marry, never want kids. Got my own house here. But yes, I do massage myself. Sp Pep thread is my morning coffee before my emails.
PS ARE there any "housewives" nowadays? Serious question.

Wow, your witty quips are stellar!

I am not going to make it to Wimbledon again this year so YOU are very lucky. And if you refer to TV then I am gonna be watching too. I just give the first few days a miss while things get oiled up. Nadal for me this year. It's FATE.
My tomatoes are under plastic sheeting but on east coast of North America we are still in a deep low and I am right on water so it's thick seafog. People typing in will know what I mean. I can hear groaners and fog horns and its very, very still. "I know a storm is comin'" as Flo-Rida would rap.

Nadal is out due to a knee injury

sticking my nose in...toms need light as well as heat. I hope the plastic isn't too thick or colored. And when they bud, make sure pollinators have access to the blooms or you'll be out there with a paintbrush.

We have similar weather here, so I grow cherry toms. A much better chance of mature fruit before the first frost.

Thanks Laurin, good info. I have a lovely landscaped garden - oaks and much etc BUT I am not a gardener. Inherited it. So I didnt know Toms had to be pollinated. Do bees fly in fog?
I really am a bit defeated by this. They are in lovely clay urns - big ones - with compost I tried to make and soil. Feeding them like craaazie. Plastic is that kinda you lay down when you paint a house. My decorators left it.
They smell great. Tomatoes. Not decorators. Well, one of them did ...
I buried them deeply. Tomatoes. So they could root more like I was told. Decorators were safe and left happy.

I said you were my grammar teacher.

ROFLMAO - I scorned the "liberal arts" for a rigorous and comprehensive analytical, scientific and technical education. I just enjoy good quality written communication in the appropriate context.


You miss the point entirely. I criticise the posted presentation of questions/responses/views where they are semi-comprehensible and where as a consequence the clarity of those posts is compromised. This is usually not because the posters are ESLers, but because they are lazy and believe that the forums are as informal an environment as email or chat.

I will admit to a delight in the schadenfreude that I derive from people rising to the bait, even when they miss the point completely, as you have.


My vocabulary is derived from my reading of a wide range of literature, not dictionaries. If you truly believe this definition why are you participating and provoking "dull exchanges" which mainly serve to allow me to highlight and correct your misconceptions? By the way, Brenda will be along soon.

Pep (Are you putting words in other people's mouths? I don't recall Old William saying such a thing, and if he had done, he would surely have referred to the OED not Webster's limited little boklet. )

Not in Jig's alternate reality.

Pep (Your world, your imagination, your delusions.)

toms are funny, if they're buried deeply it's actually good for them. That's why tall, leggy seedlings can be buried deeply, they just grow roots everywhere that is beneath the soil. Someone may have been telling you about dampening off, because that is very common in seedlings.

Don't overfeed them either, you don't want too much green as opposed to fruit. If you leave the sheeting open part of the day the insects will get in.

And jig? You need to find out if they are bush or cordon varieties because they need to be treated differently.

That's just a fancy way of telling me you are a banal griefer, right? That you feel all warm and fuzzy when someone rises to your insults?

I think experts would probably root out some deep insecurity you have there, maybe one you are not even aware of. We all wear masks - shame yours is the hoity-toity insufferable c u n t type of mask. What are you covering up? Is there actually a personality underneath all the nit-picking?

DO BEES FLY IN THE FOG????
DO I NEED A PAINTBRUSH?
WHAT DO I DO WITH IT??
ITS TO POLLINATE RIGHT?
What is a bush or a gordon variety - this all sounds so f**king complicated and I just wanted some tomatoes for my basil and goat cheese bruchetta. I wanted to show off in August when my friend visits me coz she always does one-up-ship.
I am quite serious here. No one seems to know about bees.
Bush I gesss is a big bushy thing. Gordon? Like the TV chef who sweats a lot?? Says f**k all the time.

Jig, don't worry. We have a lot of fog here. I am right on the coast as well. The bees seem to do just fine. As long as they have access to the flowers they will take it from there.

Paintbrushes would just be used to hand pollinate, but unless no little toms appear after the plants start blooming, you don't need to worry about that.

Bush toms are just that. Cordons are more like vines and need to be trained differently. If you check your plant tag or seed pack it will tell you.

It's not that hard Next year you will have learned from this year.

I can't believe this thread is still going....

No, I mean on TV. I think it will be Federer. Just watched the weather forecast and storms are a commin' - they reckon Glastonbury could be a wash out, and I was thinking of going there.

Guess this lot have no homes to go to.

Nah, it's a way of pointing out your own inadequacies. If you consider the highlighting of defective communication as insults, and lack the insight and sense of proportion not to over-react, then it is not just me that you are amusing, but most of the intelligentsia of the forums, whether they post or just lurk.

Pep (Don't give up your day job and start up as a psychologist either; although they are mostly crackpots themselves, they don't usually get their personality analysis as wrong as you have. )

Now that you and Pep are standing close to each other for a moment, I can see the similarities between you two.

No Lies. I've never met Arielyn, and I was not at that wedding.

And I didn't mind sacrificing my alt in your ego boosting thread, so that any woman out there can get a glimpse of what happens when you try to be nice to Pep. It's not like I've been able to use her much, after you caused so much havoc for her. She was disposable....the ladies in this thread are not.

Just consider it a public service announcement to the ladies.

And perfectly on topic, I might add.

I thought I would give Ishina something to think about.

Edited To Add that it gets boring just lurking and pressing that triangular button.

NotPep (LOL)

Okay so what I've done is open up plastic sheeting. I see flowers. I wobbled them a bit with my middle finger (I'm good at that LOL!) and I am leaving them exposed. I realize you typed Cordons, not Gordons coz I have put on some reading specs. I kinda look darkly squinty and cool without them but obviously I cant read if I dont wear them. Now I must get going. Yeah, weather is awful. Fog and drizzle and my poor garden!! Man who mows it is in for a rough time.

They both have that pointy head look.

And cum from planet Zonk.

Please vacate this thread Cato. I have enough trouble with people pretending to be my alts and other people being assumed to be my alts without you sticking your oar in. Just because I refer suitable cases to you as potentially warranting reporting doesn't mean that you can get involved in my thread-battles.

Pep (Posted in public not PM so that everyone knows how I feel.)

/me laughs

Are you ever inworld? or is Cato just for the forums?
