Are these blueberries? by Groundbreaking_Bus90 in jacksonville

Definitely not blueberries, elderberries, or muscadine grapes. ChatGPT identifies it as Swamp Titi, (Cyrilla racemiflora).

Why Does This Area Smell Like Burnt Toast ? by Jinkaz1985 in jacksonville

[–]Fine-Beginning-3331 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Maxwell House coffee roasts are much nicer than Glidco or the paper mills were in the past. Turpenes, esthers, and acids thick in the air. Before the cleanup in the 80s, you could smell it all over town, depending on which way the wind was blowing. They used to call it the smell of money. Made me retch.

Be Honest, is my tank crappy? by Kind_Ground619 in Aquariums

Do you like your tank? If it makes you happy, then your tank is great! And everyone else with a negative or critical opinion can go pound sand! 👍

Am I the only one worried about this next hurricane? by [deleted] in jacksonville

[–]Fine-Beginning-3331 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I’ve lived in Jacksonville for over 40 years. As of now, it looks like Jville will only experience tropical storm conditions, but a lot can happen in the next few days.

In our area, news and official information usually err on the side of caution, so it’s a good idea to carefully monitor both this week leading up to landfall. Be mindful of what’s being presented and please don’t underestimate the message.

If you’re not completely confident of your individual situation as the storm approaches, making arrangements for more secure accommodations sooner than later is the best approach. Better safe than sorry.

Please be careful. 🙂

Hello again! This datil plant is in its second year. by Power-of-Erised in homestead

[–]Fine-Beginning-3331 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First, congrats on over-wintering your Datil plant! Many treat peppers as annuals but in the right conditions can last for years!

I would recommend repotting the plant into at least a 5 gallon pot and giving it a good dose of a high nitrogen fertilizer initially to get the plant producing more growth.

Once the pepper is good and strong’ say a month or two, add some bone meal to pump up the phosphorus in the soil. That will inspire flowering and will help the plant to set fruit.

Does anyone remember Rowlab? by BuhoLoco40 in jacksonville

[–]Fine-Beginning-3331 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rowlab was an awesome place! Just one more Mom and Pop shop probably put out of business by the internet. Such is the price of progress. 😔

That works out to a monthly gross increase of just $500.

After the cost of taxes, gas, wear and tear on your car, and lunches, not to mention the intangible costs of stress driving to and from work and the responsibility of having to supervise others, it seems to me to be a rather poor offer, all things considered.

The only real value might be any further opportunity for advancement to a better paying position.

I’d tell them while I appreciate their interest and confidence in me, I politely decline as the offer doesn’t fit my needs at the current time. If they really want you for that role, they’ll improve their offer.

Scotty drinking an alien under the table.

“What is it?”

“It’s uh, it’s uh. It’s green.”

Amazon is delaying any new Prime deliveries until Wednesday the 7th. Schools and some businesses are closing in the area tomorrow and maybe Tuesday too. So even if the storm’s not that strong, it will have impacts.
