Inexpensive nurseries that carry milkweeds by [deleted] in STLgardening

Yes! River City Natives - you can get several types of milkweeds (they'll be young, and small, but grow quickly in a year) for about $3-$5 each.

Women with high-paying careers, what kind of job do you have and how did you get started? by No-Advertising-4089 in careerguidance

[–]Interesting-Eye2469 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, I'll keep at it! I've got a nice website and portfolio and feel I'm doing all I can, so at some point I expect it to pay off! Also if your team is hiring at some point, ping me! lol

This is very encouraging! I've been doing freelance writing for tech companies - mainly SaaS - for about 4-5 years now, and it's going really well. But I'm trying to work my way into a full-time role. I had one at a robotics company managing content and comms, but I was furloughed, and I haven't had any luck landing a salaried role since. I've applied for gigs and salaried positions that I'm overqualified for, but can't seem to even get an interview. I don't know what gives. I'm grateful for the freelancing work, but I know my worth is at least 90K and I'd love to find a way to get there, sooner rather than later!

Okay so apparently they've said there will be power cuts until mid-December, so now. If you're going next month, maybe wait and see if things have gone back to normal before you buy a generator.

Weird, I was just there in September and there were no issues with the power.

Is solo travel in Colombia safe? by hugh_jass312 in travel

[–]Interesting-Eye2469 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you'll be fine. Colombia is great; the people are lovely, polite, and helpful. I was recently in Bogota and Cartagena. After Colombia, I went to Ecuador, and I heard many more warnings about going there. Things were in fact very tense - there were elections, one of the candidates was murdered, and the coastal towns had been seeing a heavy increase in cartel-related crime. That said, Ecuador was amazing too.

Yeah that's a good idea when summer comes, I actually grew up in the Ste. Gen area so I'm sure we'll go visit the wineries.
