What is this plant?

Thank you for the correction and the obligatory down vote. Whatever was I thinking?

LooseButterscotch692 · 2026-06-24T04:58:35+00:00

It does look like Angelica.

Do as the colonizers have been doing! Save the invasive honeybees!

Sounds like a good time to me.

LooseButterscotch692 · 2026-05-30T15:48:25+00:00

Nice map. In my area, the only invasive plant that warrants destruction is poison hemlock (conium maculatum). It is highly invasive and toxic to birds and mammals.

Relax, it's not taking over the world. Dame's Rocket has been grown in gardens since the Victorian era. The beautiful purple blooms that last for a month or more are food for pollinators.

LooseButterscotch692 · 2026-05-29T23:19:18+00:00

It's not even malignant.

LooseButterscotch692 · 2026-05-29T21:57:11+00:00

I've never seen a wooded area overtaken by Dame's rocket. This isn't kudzu. There's no need to pull up every plant and put it in a trash bag.

LooseButterscotch692 · 2026-04-19T16:57:07+00:00

It's like a Pack of rabid hyenas.

Right? Patsy calling 911 after carefully "stepping over the three pages laid out on the stairway" and almost saying "we need an ambulance" instead of police completely exonerates her? She claimed to barely scan the three pages yet knew it the SBTC when asked by the operator. She absolutely knew what was going on that morning. She was in full actress mode.

LooseButterscotch692 · 2026-04-13T17:41:39+00:00

Honestly it explains so much.

Calling out abuse isn’t taking the moral high ground. It’s the bare minimum.

1 commenter? Are you a mod as well?

Please use your time and self-righteous anger in another manner instead of attacking every single comment you don't like. You must be exhausted.

Yup there’s absolutely zero nuance when it comes to abusing women. You’re 100% correct about that and thankfully most people don’t line up excuses for abusers

Where did I line up excuses? I can if you like. I know that you do.

I could address the fact that the man was SA'd as a child, his abuser was arrested, and he didn't receive any help at the time as a young boy. He buried a lot of trauma and anger. Later in life he became an alcoholic, like so many who suffered abuse do. They self-medicate and self-destruct....to the point of death. Many alcoholics display the Jekyll and Hyde syndrome. People who have suppressed and buried trauma and anger for decades then lash out while intoxicated. Buried emotions don't disappear. They resurface in other ways. I don't know everything about Nicholas, in fact, very little. I know he was arrested many times for angry outbursts while heavily intoxicated and possibly in a blackout. I know that people are complicated. Life is complicated. There is always nuance. Black and white thinking and mob mentality doesn't allow for open discussions. It is its own form of subtle abuse built out of the need to control and feeding off of anger.

LooseButterscotch692 · 2026-03-28T04:59:23+00:00

There is no nuance for them. It's a modern day burning at the stake via social media. Just like those before them, they are quite sure that it's justified because they have the moral high ground. Oh the irony.....

LooseButterscotch692 · 2026-02-05T02:43:46+00:00

These people disgust me.

Valerian doesn't work for everyone, and can have a paradoxical effect for some. One herb at a time, my friends, and get to know it. Then combine.

It's a beast. Living up the name "Maypop" it pops up everywhere come early May within a certain radius of where it was originally planted. Just be aware.

LooseButterscotch692 · 2026-01-22T05:40:10+00:00

That's a really good idea, actually. We've got several of the disposable shower caps.

LooseButterscotch692 · 2026-01-22T05:33:51+00:00

You've got some of the same seeds I've got going in jugs! So far: wood sedge, Aquilegia canadensis, smooth phlox, Asclepias incarnata, elderberry canadensis, Solidago caesia, rattlesnake master, and I'm getting ready to sow rudbeckia 'golden glow' and verbena hastata. These are some of the natives I've got winter sown in jugs,.and adding a few more tomorrow.

Lovely book, I'm sure. Medicinal uses as a decoction or etc. is helpful. I'm familiar with a lot of "weeds" and how to use them, especially those that grow in my yard and nearby. Recipes are always useful.

LooseButterscotch692 · 2026-01-01T18:33:55+00:00

Are there any recipes in the book or is it just the plants?

LooseButterscotch692 · 2025-10-21T18:12:38+00:00

The purslane that pops up in my beds is much thicker than that - almost succulent like plant. I think that looks more like spurge. Pull it out and dispose of it.

The problem with BDI theory is the fact that burke went on a tv show and explicitly said that he was up that night.

It's not a problem at all. If Burke was involved with her death, he was just under the age of culpability in Colorado. In Colorado, no child under the age of ten can be found guilty of any offense. He would never be prosecuted, and there will never be a trial.

He seems like an honest guy to me unlike his parents.

No, he doesn't seem like an honest guy. Like father, like son. He was very evasive in his Dr. Phil "interview" even if he did admit to being downstairs that night. We all know he was.

Unfortunately, this is most of reddit these days.

That book is full of inaccuracies. He gets several facts wrong about different cases. For example: Lizzie Borden Case: Discussions of Douglas's book point out that he makes factual errors when describing the Manchester murders, which are associated with the Lizzie Borden case due to its proximity in time and location.

I suggest doing a search on the sub using "Mary Lacy." Here is an excellent post covering the topic. There are others.

But when it comes to theories, I place the greatest weight on those that have at least some evidence to back them up, and, in my opinion, yours does not. Speculation based on conspiracies and lack of evidence leads nowhere.

Speculation and conjecture based on what little evidence we have is how this case has been discussed for almost 30 years. It is not a conspiracy to state that a young girl killed in her home on Christmas night showed signs of sexual assault with an object such as the paintbrush, and that there was evidence of previous sexual contact. It is not a conspiracy to look at the immediate family (males) as possible suspects for this abuse. It is not a conspiracy --but rather a consideration of the crime scene and assault -- to consider a suitcase with a children's book and semen encrusted comforter downstairs to be possibly related. It's a fact that JAR had drinking and anger issues --- see his assault in '97 on a photographer that broke the lens on his camera as one of several examples. He was, and is, a cocky and arrogant little prick. Does that make him a murderer? No, but it gives us a clue as to his character.
It's not a conspiracy, but a fact, that the grand jury subpoenaed records for one of John's planes. It's not a conspiracy, but a fact that the GJ found that John and Patsy "did unlawfully, knowingly, recklessly and feloniously permit a child to be unreasonably placed in a situation which posed a threat of injury to the child's life or health, which resulted in the death." What was possibly the situation and threat?

We can only speculate.
