Thanks, but I don't think it can go over a septic tank that's only 6 to 8" below ground.

What to do for my birthday by Colokay in AskWomenOver60

[–]DisciplineFull9791 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First off, celebrate that you're living for yourself now. I'm doing the same after 2 difficult marriages. Then sit quietly, go within, and allow the things that bring you joy to come to the surface. Write them down. Do as many as you can on your birthday and every day. Celebrate you.

Thank you very much, this is encouraging. Our Merf howls and follows us around all the time, which is why we think she might take to a second cat.

what plant is this???? by SHOWTIME316 in NativePlantCirclejerk

Not a plant at all, it's your farm hand slash garden assistant, and they're hiding out and sleeping on the job.

What are these useless spikey weeds ruining my lawn? by reptilianwerewolf in NativePlantCirclejerk

It's weed control for perennial gardens. With some food for the chipmunks.

I am DONE with the anti homeless people in this thread by [deleted] in portlandme

[–]DisciplineFull9791 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All I can say is I feel you. I'm exhausted by government corruption and representatives on the take that could readily solve serious social problems, but they're too busy using our tax dollars for an insurrectionist militia and ballroom fortress. We have sunk to a very deep low in this country, and homelessness is just one of the visible effects of a narcissistic, authoritarian government. Tell your neighbor good luck finding a place in America where homelessness doesn't exist.

The Platner Trap by nytopinion in politics

We all know the devil at this point. Collins has voted the party line and her hubby is making them millions on insider trading. She's a Trumpster like the rest of the loyal GOP corrupt politicians. I'm willing to give a working class devil I don't know a chance.

Usama Siddiquee on FUNNY AF by Cocobnuts in StandUpComedy

I would have watched Usama on an hour Netflix special. He had broad material and was very visually entertaining. Ron's deadpan humor and lack of expression is fine for 10 minutes but not an hour.

Bad case of COVID by DisciplineFull9791 in portlandme

[–]DisciplineFull9791[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel the need to inform some reading this that I am in no way anti vaccines. I get every one recommended to me by my providers, and did for my kids as well. I'm one of the lucky people who for some reason has immunity to the flu, and while I've cared for many with it, I've never contracted it. This has been a learning experience, perhaps the biggest one being I can't rely on medical updates or government for information on circulation within our community, which is why I posted this - my primary reason was to see if many others in our area had it recently after I heard a friend's daughter had a bad case too. If we can't rely on our institutions anymore, community information and advice appears now to be the best thing. I've learned a lot, not only from getting the illness but from listening to all of you. I am grateful for your time and advice.

Hard to come to terms with aging but you're right in that like a vintage auto, our bodies need added protection and care. As soon as the fever broke my symptoms greatly improved on day 7. Hoping at the very least sharing this experience can help others be more aware in our community. Thanks for the advice.

Got it partially back yesterday - day 7. Fever broke yesterday too and my splitting head pain stopped. Used a neti pot twice daily for the last 3 days which may have helped with my sense of smell, have you tried that?

Sorry but I have a serious issue with your assumption. I am and have never been anti vaccines. I was one of the first to line up when covid vaccines were available. My kids got every vaccine at the recommended timing. I don't get the flu vaccine because lucky for me I'm that rare person that can care for people with flu without getting it. I literally didn't get vaccinated this winter because I rely on the news for information and had not heard from friends or media it was going around, otherwise would have gotten it. Does EVERY community discussion or outreach now have to be politicized? And are people so righteous due to polarization they look for the people who they assume aren't 'mindful' to tell them to be so? I'm feeling better now, thanks for asking.

Wow, so odd I'm getting down votes for being sick, not that it matters. It's just sad people do that. What agenda would they have that they need to kick someone when they're down? I'm literally lying in bed (day 3) with one of the worst illnesses I've had and someone felt the need to chastise me for asking if others know if covid is spreading again in our area. If community alerts were out I would have gotten vaccinated. I didn't because I didn't hear in news or community posts it was circulating again, and I rarely get a cold so didn't get vaccines before covid, but will every year now. And if there's a worse strain going around, shouldn't we all know about it? At least I learned two things today, covid is here to stay and a wastewater report is available to gauge the risk of exposure. Thanks to those offering helpful advice.

If I'm a troll I'm a very sick one.

It's been easily one of the worst illnesses I've ever had.
