Hey,
I'm new here but the "Introduce yourself" thread isn't working for me.
Oddly enough, I found this site while searching for how to care for orchids. Very strange.
Slight about-me: I'm a college student majoring in physics and medieval and renaissance studies... no, I'm not going to build a trebuchet - that would be engineering and medieval and renaissance studies...

Hello, and welcome Mara! Nice to meet you, and I look forward to reading more of your posts. Your college majors sound really cool!! (I love physics.)

the important question: did we provide adequate information on caring for orchids?

physics of a bicycle, isn't it remarkable?

Right--your job isn't to build the trebuchet, your job is to explain how it works.

lol! I'll start using that comeback!

Yes, you did. My orchid is now happily blooming in the kitchen.

Because it is my favorite thing, you can bet your ass we have many catapults.

I'm sure we could arrange something during one of my experiments.... might get away without the police report at all!


Thanks to all!
