"Hey, Jimmy. I just switched over to organic vegetables. The cost is outrageous! I was thinking of growing some of my own this spring. What are the easiest choices for someone with a not so green thumb?." <br><br> A. When learning to ride a bicycle, you don't read up on aerodynamics, physics, gravity and inertia.

"Hey, Jimmy. I like to get my news from the net. But, it seems like certain sites are better than others. I don't want a political slant, so no Fox News for me.
