Even if I knew that tomorrow the world would go to pieces, I would still plant my apple tree.

I wonder if his love for apples resulted in the Diet of Worms.

Why suffer tomorrow’s disaster alone when you can sit next to an apple tree sapling and watch it suffer with you?

I agree. Besides, you can blame the disaster on the apple tree, for being a bad apple.

Welll ….if it did end tomorrow I wouldn’t have to worry about my child grasping the idea of finances! My tongue is sore from biting it …when showing me what she bought. But she did make a wise decision last week, one step at a time. 🙂

As a hint, buy her a book, and rip out every page except those in Chapter 11.

Well now I know. Hopefully she won’t ever get to that point! But yes, giving her a book and ripping out all the pages except Chapter 11 would cause her to think I lost my mind!
I did have to let out a little laugh for apparently she was late on her car insurance and she told me how she told the insurance she was having trouble because she was off work for awhile, (which she was) She said, “Mom, they didn”t even care, they just wanted their money!” I said, “Welcome to the real world, darling!”

I think they can be fixed. If you spray them with a certain chemical, it renders them incapable of reproducing.

Yes I have heard that it works on humans as well. It’s called beer, and in the UK it was well known in the 60s and 70s (perhaps still today?) for causing “Brewer’s Droop”!

Side note: did you know you can’t just plant an apple seed and expect great fruit? I’m learning more and more farmer stuff every day out here on our larger-land property.

Wouldn’t the tree have to come first, and then the fruit? Perhaps you were expecting too much too soon.

Yes you have to watch them carefully as you never know what they might get up to. The young ones are the worst as all they think about is seeding.
