I'm voting for the latter.

Let me know if you end up here. We'll go out for a beer

So, before I go to bed, I thought I'd tell another story.

The story of the first time I went to the Israeli Holocaust Museum.

This was in 2006, January. I was on Taglit, or Birthright- a trip for 10 days that's subsidized to bring young Jewish people to Israel to visit.

The tone of the trip is, without a doubt, one of Zionism.

During the trip it is standard for a group of soldiers to join with you. It is also standard to visit Yad Vashem, the Israeli Holocaust Museum.

Now, if you haven't been to this particular museum, I do recommend it, but it is *brutal*. Like terrifically, fantastically brutal. No punches are held, it's put together in a way to really draw out the emotion and everything is laid bare. Everything.

On my trip I'd made good friends with Ben, a religious paratrooper who was one of the soldiers we had with us. Really good guy- we share a love of dark humor. We made a bunch of your standard dark style jokes and bonded over it.

But, by the time we'd reached most of the way through the museum I'm brutalized. He sees it. I know it.

We reach a model of people scrambling to get out of a gas chamber. There are old, faded shoes under us with a glass floor between us. I've got tears in my eyes, on the edge of losing it.

That's when Ben looks at me. Kippah on his head. Tzsit at his sides and he leans in to whisper to me: "How many Jews can you fit in a Volkswagon?"

He never finished the joke. He didn't have to- it was enough to push me out of the despair. I laughed. I laughed in the most inappropriate place- he laughed.

We laughed together so we wouldn't cry.

@peterdrake Cool! One more note, let the top soil dry out before misting again. Once it's dry up top, it's good to go again.

@peterdrake Yeah, Mist the soil and the leaves of the plant itself. Keep it out of direct sunlight (through a curtain, or something like that) and the soil to the point of being moist.

Apparently this plant can get root-rot if the roots are too wet.

@peterdrake Yeah, my brother says they don't need much in the way of water. Like a light mist. Soil should be a little moist, but not outright soaked or wet.

Hope some of that helps.

@Drkeating101 I've worked in online businesses from Online Casinos to Binary options. A bit of free advice: I don't think this is a good platform for what you're working for here.

@Drkeating101 I'm starting to get the feeling you're here to sell me something.....

@commandelicious Looking forward to it, my friend!

@commandelicious Honestly, I was speechless- but I was laughing so hard after it happened. It was the most ridiculous thing I've personally ever heard come out of a human being's mouth.

I stopped everyone at work, in their tracks, and was like 'Guys. The most amazing thing just happened to me."

@peterdrake Okay, that's good. Final question would be how are you watering it? Soil should be moist, but not soaked. The yellowing at the bottom isn't odd, but the yellowing at the top is, apparently.

@peterdrake Using fluoridated water? Those plants don't need much water, but are pretty sensitive to fluoride. (Asking my little brother as we go. He's a big plant guy.)

@peterdrake Have you been keeping it in direct light? Those need indirect light- looks like scorched leaves.

@Drkeating101 Look at your notifications, my friend. You have been followed. ;)

@Drkeating101 Welcome to the server!

@peterdrake What kind of plant is it?
