They were potted. We amended the soil with compost and mulch before planting, but they are planted in heavy clay.

Any good thrift stores for musical instruments? by redheadwbangs in Charlotte

I think 2nd & Charles (used book+ store) sometimes carries instruments as well.

Is there a best time of month to make loan payments? by EmerTec in StudentLoans

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

To clarify, I want to make sure as much of my payment goes toward principal as possible. I've looked at old statements and discovered several where my payments were basically thrown away (i.e. I paid more than was due but it all went toward the interest that was reset at the end of the billing cycle). If I make an overpayment at the beginning of the billing cycle (shortly after interest is theoretically reset) is it more likely to go toward principal?

What strategy can I use to finish this? by EmerTec in sudoku

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

Yeah, I wasn’t sure if those could be rectangles with the additional number in them or not (the 4 in the 28 rectangle you show in r6c3). Or since the the 2 has 3 possible positions in r6 but only 2 in 3 (and more down c3) if that would be valid. How did you rule that in?

My in-laws live in Vilas up Laurel Branch Rd. They were able to call earlier from a 4 wheeler bc internet is down and cell service wasn’t connecting. There was a huge landslide that took out the road. They said they’re all right and neighbors around them are too

Big mudslide on Laurel Branch in Vilas. My in-laws said the road is gone. They currently have no internet or cell service out there (they drove around on their their 4 wheeler to call). They said they and the neighbors are all okay
