STILL ON A CACTUS ROLL. I am well known for my inability to turn away an orphan plant. I even go searching for them. Our local Lowes has a reduced table and if I am in the area I always stop in to take a look. In the past I have found some very nice plants on that table and I get satisfaction for restoring them to good health. However, if this week I was thinking about reducing the number of potted plants I have, all thoughts were out of my head today when I espied these cactus on the $1 table.

A ratchet is a mechanical device that allows continuous linear or rotary motion in only one direction while preventing motion in the opposite direction. Ratchets are widely used in machinery and tools. Though something of a misnomer, ratchet is also often used to refer to ratcheting socket wrenches, a common tool with a ratcheting handle.
'Ratchet' is the new fad in rap music Anthony Nathan The State Hornet. In 2001, Jay-Zâs album âThe Blueprintâ introduced me to a world of clever wordplay, catchy hooks and a sound that was reminiscent of the days of Al Green and The Jackson 5.hile its popularity can be backed by its position on the charts, ratchetâs appeal is a little more convoluted. There is definitely an intangible factor that makes a great ratchet song; otherwise, there wouldnât be suburban kids present at the shows.
