Well I actually have 2 questions. First of all, I read you need to "pinch" the plant to make it grow bushier. What exactly do they mean by pinch? and do I pinch the leaf tips or the top of the stem or what?

Also when you put a mint leaf in a drink do you crush it first or do you just drop it in and the flavor comes out on its own?

I keep seeing people on here writing that illegal aliens pay taxes so they are not a burden to society, but I don't understand. How can you pay taxes with out a social security number?

Question for illegals: Do you pay taxes? If so do you have stolen social security #?

Question for everyone: Since these people are using stolen SS #s don't you think this is an argument against illegals, not for them?

"The average victim of immigrant-based identity theft sees their Social Security number shared about 30 times."

"... each year, millions (9 million this year) of payments are made to the agency with mismatched names and numbers....so no one gets it. The amount of uncredited Social Security wages is now an enormous $420 billion, an amount that sits in what's called the Earnings Suspense File, an accounting limbo."

Since that money is in limbo, how does it help society? I would prefer they not pay taxes rather then stealing identities.

We had record rainfall this year and I have more poison ivy than ever before! I dug up about 20 plants yesterday, but I live in the Texas hillcountry and we don't really have dirt, its mostly rock and oak tree roots in the ground, so I couldn't really get all the poison ivy roots out of that. Will they grow back or will the damage just kill the plants?

(I didn't use a spray because I have a dog that eats poison ivy and I don't want her to get sick.)
