So took this the wrong way

Be honest...would it be plausible this was directed toward members here. Well...in actuality it still is...but much broader.

Thanks so much for sharing this! The title might be a little controversial but I like the tone of respect for the art and the lifestyle as a whole. Being a newbie to an established club can be tricky if you don't have any idea of the basic rules or customs. While I'm brand new to the site, I've been a practicing BN for over 20 years and run across many of the things listed in the article ( and been guilty of more than 1 or 2 when I first started and didn't know any better). Somebody new to the hobby might just have a better start with more experienced people by giving them some of the basics on what to do/say/not do/say.

My roommates 3 year old son really enjoys kicking and trying to step on my *regular* potted plants. My main concern before she moved in was that I would be constantly running around preventing him from tearing my stuff up. My fiancee asked me to move my bonsai (loosely used term) so he wouldn't destroy the. I was unhappy, but I did relocate them. As for the stinging nettle that grows like wildfire... I now won't be cutting it down lol. Considering I am the only one that maintains anything green, or outside I might leave select goathead stickers too. Nature usually has the solution right under your nose lol.
