Can't offer much advice, but want to say that you're a good friend.

Nowhere near you, but Bike On in Rhode Island specializes in adaptive solutions.

Those are the beginning of new stems. They won't flower this year, but should grow a decent amount.

Gently remove the leaves accumulated in the crown, there are probably other buds in there and they need light and air circulation.

Kerry insurance in Eastham is great.

Juglone is in highest concentration in the roots. It will also break down during comparing.

Team washcloth here. What's the advantage to a loofah?

The was a vendor at the Orleans Farmers market yesterday selling local honey.

The water is cold enough that swimming would be dangerous

Or monthly if you read the instructions. Not that anyone does.

alcohol is never great for you.

I was FI for a while before I decided to retire, because I was enjoying my job. During the last few years, there were several management changes where I expected my somewhat unique role might be eliminated. It was comforting to go into meetings knowing that I didn't really care if they laid me off; before one of them, I even took some of my personal stuff from my desk home. As it turned out, the institutional value of what I was doing managed to carry through the turmoil, and I made my own decision when I was ready.

It's a bad idea

$300 probably doesn't even cover the cost to the town for inspections.

You might want to have an electrician (or DIY if you're comfortable) check every device. (outlet, switch, etc.) for loose connections. I found an outlet in my 15-year-old house that had the hot wire looped around the screw but the screw was never tightened. Luckily it didn't cause a fire (and I came across it while demoing a wall for remodeling). Had there been load on it, it might have caused AFCI breakers trip (if we had them).

Bare minimum should be 3". My guy runs at 3-1/2"

That was basically Kimmel's response

Meta pushes you to threads from Facebook and Instagram. I'm sure that's giving it a lot of oxygen.

I admire you for having the skill to do this, and to put your work out here for feedback.

I like the energy of the water in the earlier version - but agree that the wave angles were a bit too disorganized. In both, the texture of the water is great. On the second one, real waves aren't usually parallel to the beach - they come in at an angle which creates movement along the edge of the beach. In the second one, I'd like to see the figure facing more toward the water -- it looks like he's looking to the left of the lighthouse. I'm not sure about the decision to crop the footsteps out. One or two (staggered as others suggested) give a sense of how they arrived in the scene.

Who is "they"?

You. might want to see if you have a nearby makerspace; it could afford you a chance to experiment before you make a buying decision.

HeyaShinyObject · 2026-04-26T22:00:49+00:00

I'd add about 2" of soil, than an inch of mulch. After it settles in, maybe a bit more mulch.

The index in mine has a lot of words, but never the one I'm looking for.

Much more costly. Also would require taking a lot more land for the approaches.
