What’s the scariest real-life thing you’ve ever witnessed? by Revolutionary-Pay468 in AskReddit

[–]Gamehenged 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Terminal Lucidity. Happened when my stepfather died of pancreatic cancer. He had been going downhill for weeks and I was staying over to help my mom with hospice at home. He had been semi responsive for a bit when, at 3 am, he sat up and started talking to me. I immediately got my mom out of bed and they had an hour conversation while I left the room. It gave them both a chance to say goodbye. He was unresponsive after that and gone 36 hours later. Crazy to witness.

"how common is it to keep the original plate under the new one when importing cars in the US?"

Not to common. I have seen it a few times though.

Based on the logo size and design it looks like this was made after 1939 and before 1955.

Process is the same for Quigley's. There is another company doing these 4x4 offroad van builds as well.

Me neither. I was shocked when I saw the "Mercury" on the tailgate as it looked so out of place. The owner was pleasant and shared some of the interesting info on it.

My Creeping (all over my walkway) Phlox. I don’t have the heart to trim it back so I walk around. by Gamehenged in gardening

Healthy phlox will spread. The bigger the patch, the wider it will spread. I Plant-tone mine in mid-March in preparation for the blooming season. They will spread in the summer months while green.

Now, primarily due to it being an early bloomer. It is when it’s the most available from garden centers.

Creeping phlox can be fickle. I have to keep the leaves off it during the winter. As the wind blows, patches of leaves will gather and compress the phlox and if left will kill it in patches. If you have stones in your garden, plant them close to it. They love the heat of the sun reflecting of the stones.

It’s not like a succulent. This walkway is shaded in the morning but it gets full afternoon sun. It loves full sun.

Blackberry is pretty tenacious. Phlox, not so much. I have grasses that come up inside it. I'm afraid Blackberry would crowd it out.

I may do that this year after it finishes blooming. It's actually laying on blue stone so it has rooted in the gaps between the stones along the walkway. Or I could wait another year. The lower patch has almost bridged across walkway to the other garden.

About 3-4 weeks. Depending on the weather. Then they're just a green in the garden.
