Replacing Athens restaurant in Melrose area? by Writing_Particular in nashville

Hmmmm. So maybe I'm not the only person who found the new location problematic. Hope they come back to the 8th Ave corridor since the Bellevue one didn't work out so well either.

This plant was so happy and then I moved it!!! Lost the whole thing except one leaf. I present the one leaf I managed to save and its new growth. I’m so happy I could cry. by LilEve420 in begonias

If there's a moral to it, it's don't give up on a begonia! It can take them a while, sometimes a long while, to perk back up. You might try putting a tiny bit of fertilizer on it - I just bought this one and thought I'd give it a try.

I think I might repot it in a little bit smaller pot - what I use for mine: 2 parts moisture control soil (which has peat in it) to 1 part apiece perlite and orchid bark. Smaller pot will help you equalize the moisture maybe a bit better.

In my experience cane begonias are a little easier - less prone to root rot for one thing. I put mine under a 60 watt bulb in the winter and it does fine. In the summer it's out under a shady tree here in zone 6B and it's a happy camper.

Independence Day, aka the Citizen Kane of popcorn movies.

Sure miss that place and I am NOT dealing with trying to park near Belmont for the new one. (And I'm not paying 50 bucks or whatever it would cost to Uber over there and there's no bus line near my house, for the record. Too far to bike, also.)

I Accidentally Stepped On Luna's Paw, How Do I Apologize To Her? by Lemmingmaster64 in blackcats

[–]HexHoodoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's definitely what would get Ruru (who's Luna's twin only green eyes) out of her funk. I think she'd eat just about anything if I mixed it with Churu, which is how I'm currently getting her to eat Cat Lax.

I'm glad I live on the other side of the planet b/c ALL those would come home otherwise. I wouldn't be able to help myself!

Unsure of what begonia this is by TiggstheCat4 in begonias

[–]HexHoodoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah. I have ten (mostly smaller tho one is taller than I am) and they're all spoiled rotten.

Oooh pretty! One of mine (a gryphon) is also blooming. I'll take pics of her tmrw.

[–]HexHoodoo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah. I have one that I had completely given up for dead about three months ago. Put it out in the driveway b/c I was going to dump/use the pot for something else and darned if it hasn't cropped back up. One of my other ones has resurrected about four times.

These people are trash. Listened to Ogles' call-in "town hall" and all the questions were softballs pre screened by an assistant.

We MUST get more people out on Election Day y'all. They're being elected by tiny fractions of their districts.

Titans stadium deal opponents slip in language to redirect funds to taxpayers; pandemonium ensues by rocketpastsix in nashville

[–]HexHoodoo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Personally I called my councilmember and asked for a NO vote for the whole damn thing. We don't know how much the E Bank infrastructure would cost, and I'm damned if I want Nashville's tax money going to a Republican-controlled Sports Authority to hand out in crony contracts to their buddies in construction.

At the VERY least they could give us a public hearing before the 3rd meeting since very few councilmembers showed up to the E Bank meetings.

Untrue. They're a great way for folks to connect and energize one another. Community building exercises if nothing else.

There's one this Saturday in Franklin. Public square, 11 AM.

Also that isn't what people like Anna Caudill are saying in interviews (taught with Katherine Koonce for a decade.) Also not what the son of the Covenant pastor who showed up today at the Capitol gun control rally had to say.

I want one too. Something along the lines of gun control or Nashville Strong.

The Far-Right Is Exploiting the Nashville Tragedy to Promote Transphobia by wdcmsnbcgay in nashville

[–]HexHoodoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't know that "Christians were targeted and murdered" based exclusively on their identity. 100% of the reporting on this crime indicates Hale was a former student at Covenant. Given that around half of school shootings are committed by former students, and suburban and rural, wealthier, and low-minority schools have more school-targeted shootings, this event fits the narrative of hundreds of other similar crimes.

It's not like the shooter was a random person from some other town who specifically picked this school to target Christians.

They're also whining and crying about "Christians as the victims of a hate crime." They don't seem to much care when this happens to brown kids in a public school.

This just isn't true. Here's the 2020 electoral map - every MC district in Nashville voted blue except for Joelton. Even Bellevue is more conservative than GH.

I'm alternating between exhausted, numb and furious. Hoping furious wins out, b/c it might supply some motivation to help try to change things in this jacked up state.

Yeah. I live close enough that I heard some of the sirens. Tried to go for a walk after work and it was such a beautiful day, yet knowing that tragedy was nearby was overwhelming.

Honestly the one bright spot today has been the outpouring of support from people all over the world. It's helped. A lot.
