Personality and Relationships Most of us are allured by the attractive notion that effortless relationships exist. Whether it be happily-ever-after marriages, or friendships that last forever, or parent/child bonds which supercede the need to understand each other, we'd all like to believe that our most intimate relationships are unconditional, and strong enough to withstand whatever may come. However, at some point in our lives most of us need to face the fact that relationships require effort to keep them strong and positive, and that even wonderful, strong relationships can be destroyed by neglect. Whether you're looking to improve a love relationship, familial relationships, friendships, or employer/employee relationships, understanding your own personality type and the personality type of the other person involved in the relationship will bring a new dynamic to the situation, which will allow better understanding and communication. The same cannot be said for other kinds of relationships.
Personality Type Explained According to Carl G. Jung's theory of psychological types, human consciousness is characterized by its preference of the general attitude: Extraverted (E) vs. It is also characterized by its preferences within the two pairs of its mental functions: Sensing (S) - Intuition (N) Thinking (T) - Feeling (F) The three parameters introduced by Jung are dichotomies (i.e. bipolar dimensions where each pole represents an opposite preference). Isabel Briggs Myers proposed that a fourth dichotomy, with the opposite poles of judging and perceiving, also influences the characteristics of personality type: Judging (J) – Perceiving (P) All possible permutations of the 4 criteria above yield 16 different combinations representing which of the opposite poles in each of the four dichotomies dominates in a person, thus defining 16 different personality types. The 16 personality types can be assigned a combination of 4 letters (an acronym) corresponding to the opposite poles in each of the four dichotomies.

Growing Onions on the Windowsill Growing Onions Vertically On The Windowsill How nice would it be to just be able to pluck fresh green onions from the soil whenever you need them? Nothing beats fresh onions for your salads, dips or soup. But how can you ensure a supply of fresh onions at hand all the time? Sure, onions are available all year round from the supermarket, but they are hardly fresh and there’s almost always no way to know for sure where they came from. Gardeners of course will simply grow them but some simply have problems with available space. I came across an image of spring onions grown vertically on the windowsill, using a common 5 Liter PBS bottle, which I thought was a practical, space-saving and green way to grow onions. …and since I was curious myself, I did a bit of research and this is what I found: FIRST, you need a planting vessel: NEXT, you need to remove the neck of the bottle then cut holes around it. NEXT, fill the bottle with layers of onion sprouts and soil. NEXT, water it… Like this:

Vegetable Gardening Healthy quick way to wash fruit in bulk Growing green onion leftovers Build a Whole Food Kitchen Making a trip to the grocery store these days is like running a gauntlet. From one side you are assaulted by food-like substances in brightly labeled packages, some even touting exaggerated health benefits from the toxins within. From the other side, you are gouged and poked by cleverly marketed “natural” foods that are 4 times the price of conventional foods. When you change directions to avoid one onslaught, you are immediately attacked by the other. We’re at war and the grocery store is the battlefield. That war has been declared on us by multiple enemies with unlimited budgets, such as Monsanto, Big Pharma, Big Agri and and Big Food. What’s a frugal whole food shopper to do? Lots of people write to me and say, “I’d love to eat the way you do, but I can barely afford regular groceries. Good food might be expensive, but as the saying goes, have you checked out the price of illness lately? GMOs have been proven to cause cancer, ghastly tumors, organ failure, and death. Buy local.

Soda Bottle Carrots Seventeen days after I planted carrots in a sawed-off soda bottle, young carrot tops had sprouted on the windowsill in my basement. I encourage people who have little space that they can still grow small kitchen gardens. To that end, on May 1st I cut the top off of a two-liter soda bottle, filled the bottle with soil, and planted carrots in it. I described this project in a post titled Small Kitchen Garden Carrots in Containers. I mentioned my container carrots again on May 18, and again on June 17. It has been an interesting project, and I encourage you to try it. Mature Container Carrots After three months of growing, a carrot of nearly any variety should be mature. After three months of growth, my container carrots have pathetic tops. So, my container carrots—a variety that matures in 65 days—ought to be dropping seeds all over my deck. The good news is that those sickly-looking carrot tops protrude from very pronounced orange carrot shoulders. Pushing Plants If I don’t?
