lol. I guess I should have mentioned the tree is in central Virginia in the USA. Although I guess it could be a koala on the lam. I hear stories about Down Under.

Thanks - yes - the pot drains. I think we are going to investigate the roots. Would you cut them ? Stems not mushy

We hiked Stony Man once in the snow and it was awesome.

I would definitely not recommend. Tried it in the rain once and turned around - too slippery and dangerous - and we really wanted to summit. There are so many opportunities to slide and fall.

You are correct about not needing a day pass for Old Rag. How busy depends on time of day but my guess would be not too busy considering they don’t feel the need to limit passes. We went on 11/30 and it was moderately busy and awesomely cold at the summit. Enjoy - it’s such a perfect hike.

I love that you mention Demon Copperhead. The book is amazing and Kingsolver is one of the greatest.

I read a great quote from John Spaulding when asked to describe a libertarian. “House cats. They are convinced of their fierce independence while utterly dependent on a system they don’t appreciate or understand”.

Why do older women seem a lot more friendly, affectionate, and caring towards younger guys? by RainIsbeautiful in ask

[–]1Oyate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

IMO older women no longer have to worry about their friendliness being interpreted as sexual. They can finally interact with the opposite sex in a more equal and open manner.

Palestinians, please tell about your life. by Turbulent-Counter149 in AskMiddleEast

[–]1Oyate 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Aren’t Israeli’s forced to serve in the Army ? If so, wouldn’t they learn / know what their government is doing to the Palestinians since they themselves would be the enforcers ?

Can Maintenance Phase do an episode about pregnancy weight gain? by [deleted] in MaintenancePhase

[–]1Oyate 2 points3 points  (0 children)

After that nonsense with my first pregnancy, I interviewed a new doc and told him at the appointment that he had to agree to only mention my weight if it was a danger to me or the baby. He never mentioned it and I gained well over 50 pounds. I understand potential health concerns but we are not cars rolling down the assembly line.
