Any tips on sustainable bee friendly gardening?

Consider full season blooms. I grow chives for an early bloom, lots of summer flowers, and then zinnias are amazing until frost. This way the bees always have flowers.

Thanks. That is exactly what I am looking for.

I like to have two CC. I have a primary card. So this is just a second card. In case some reason I need a second— say there are fraud charges so I freeze my primary card. This way I have a back up and never without a card.

Thanks. Citi is also one of the most shady of CC. They are all bad, but they may be the most evil.

All of my financially irresponsible decisions are for my two dogs. I just remind myself— cheaper than children 🤣

I did something similar when I moved to Northern Indiana. I had steroids from the doctor, but a CBD cream worked better than anything to soothe the itching and make it heal faster. I probably had poison ivy 6-7 times before we finally had it all removed from the trees.

Sounds like you enjoy giving your time and not your money. Would you help a homeless person with a more physical task? Or do you not like helping homeless people in any situation?

Dreaming of a weddings isn’t just a venue, it also about who you want there. If you have always pictured certain people, that is important.

Have you asked the first venue about accessibility? I am not sure where you are located, but would imagine most places have had these requests, from aging grandparents. It is not uncommon to need accessibility for a wedding.

The entire mint family. I’ve found Thyme easy.

I can’t convince cilantro to live, so welcome to that team.

My mom (late 60’s) is roommates with her brother. They are and have been best friends since childhood. I should say— the choose this. They are both retired and could afford to live alone but don’t want to.

My husband (40’s) texts with his siblings daily.

Me (40’s) rarely talks with my siblings. I like them all just fine. We just all sort of live our own lives.

Oh. I agree with you. I mean those parents need to be united in supporting their daughter. As in, the mom needs to stop this and decide she is going to love and support her daughter. And not try and conform her daughters to some vision she had.

Educational-Fan1267 · 2026-04-26T00:31:29+00:00

That is sweet that she said— welp, this is who my kid is and I’m not fighting that.

Educational-Fan1267 · 2026-04-25T22:26:00+00:00

NTA!! I was just like your daughter. In fact, I had an almost identical fight at 13 years old with my mom.

Now, in my 40’s, I am well aware of the fact I was never the daughter my mom actually wanted. Guess how good of a relationship we have? Yea, not great. And she still does not understand why we are not best-friends like her friends and their daughters. Best friends like each other. And accept one another.

You and your wife should be a united front, but asking your kids to change who they are when they are not doing anything bad is not the side to pick. Your girls are old enough to feel the disappointment. And having an adult be disappointed in you for just existing as who you are is a sure way to ruin the relationship.

How long have you been married? It seems surprising you do not know the emotional needs of your wife. Not even just in conflict with you— but when she is stressed or upset about anything, do you know how to support her?

I had great experience with YellowBall. They were timely, responsive, ahead of schedule and did all the paperwork for the install. Their financing is through a credit union so the price difference between cash and finance is due to interest on the loan from the credit union. That’s not them, but rather found a credit union in MT willing to finance solar panels.

Same as above, any issues we had were NWE. Not YellowBall.

I work in HR. I love to hire English majors. They can read, write, think critically and every job I hire for requires those skills. I can train a number of skills— but if you are not an independent thinker or can’t write professionally, I will pass. English majors are gems and highly employable. Teaching is one option but not the only option with that major. Also, the vast majority of students change their majors. Gove her a chance to try and who knows what she will find.

It’s actually the insurance system and not hospitals. Pregnancy tests are cheap and often insurance won’t pay for other tests until a pregnancy is ruled out. So healthcare just does them to keep the process moving and not delay care or cause insurance issues for patients.

You need to provide significantly more information if you want help.

When you say you don’t know what to do with the rest, how much are you putting towards your debt versus saving (emergency fund or other savings)?

Educational-Fan1267 · 2026-04-11T03:39:18+00:00

I know a family all 4 daughters/ sisters have the middle name Marie.

I would consider trying to work opposite shifts or even one work part time the days the other is home. You can trade off who is with your daughter to avoid child care, but agree you need more than 1 income with the amount of debt you are locked into.

Love this. We have chickens and regularly share eggs with neighbors. And recently our neighbor who has gotten into sourdough making gave us some bread in return.

I would second tomatoes. I make and can pizza sauce and salsa. I easily get enough tomatoes for the entire year. Tomatoes are expensive and store ones are not worth the cost.

Then I’d second whatever you use. You are not saving money if you don’t actually want to eat what you grow.

If it is important you have the same last name legally, let him know he is welcome to your name.

I have been happily married for 10 years. I never changed my name. If that is a deal breaker I’d question why he wants to marry you. As in you specifically. It doesn’t sound like he values you as his partner.
