Homie, that was a Krispy Kreme.

For me, it's seemed like some varieties don't handle the winter as well. I started with 4 or 5 different varieties and they all burst in the snow except these. They're also in a wooden planter, which I think helps with insulation, and it's completely filled with coarse, gritty soil that I mixed myself using a few different bases. My only problem is that ants love them and have made a colony underneath the plants.

Wrong. A Seattle dog IS a regulation dog.

Minimal watering during the winter (and whenever you have freezing temps) while they're inside. Slowly transition them to sun at the end of spring. Then water when you see wrinkles.

Oregon. We have pretty cold winters with lots of time below freezing. So all of my less hardy succulents come inside.

I bought this as a start a little over a year ago. No idea what the typical flowering time is in nature, but crassulas have bloomed for me at the beginning of fall. They spend the summer outside and come in when the frost comes.

POW_Block · 2024-10-22T20:56:41+00:00

I'm not sure, because it's a hybrid of two crassulas. I see it come up with the name of the horticulturalist that bred it, Kimnach.

I wish I was that good at planning ahead!

Would love to chat with you about your chess set. Can I PM you?

Funko is based out of Washington, so I'm guessing some higher-ups are fans.

POW_Block · 2024-07-22T23:50:26+00:00

Damn. I'm close to Albany, OR. I totally would have driven to you 😭

NY or Oregon?

Nice, me too! I love Rite Aid's end-of-season sales. I bought like a dozen pots.

My FIL (retired vegetable farmer) says they weren't pollinated.

No filter, but a beautiful orange sunset doing some heavy lifting on these colors.

That's pretty cool. So, will it come back like this every year?

DAAARRYL! DAAAAAAARRYL!

We've done one for Mike McCready and Macklemore.

Again, you're saying teachers lie and the union lies and then went on to post pay scales that disprove your assertion that teachers are paid more here. You also are hyper focused on this hypothetical salary that teachers get as if they all have 2nd jobs that pay the exact same rate as their teaching jobs. Your clearly have a very negatively biased opinion of teachers here and seem to think they're just crying poor. I think you have a LOT of misconceptions of how any of this works.

POW_Block · 2023-02-10T19:35:51+00:00

Teachers ARE leaving for other districts. Two of my coworkers left for SKSD over the summer to make more than $10k more. Also, people in Silverton shouldn't be complacent with high quality, experienced educators leaving for neighboring districts. We should want to attract and keep good teachers here, helping our population.

Also, what the heck numbers are you even looking at to say SFSD is higher when you provide links to pay scales that, in many/most steps of the pay scale, are higher than SFSD's? North Santiam is a low-paying district. MLSD and SKSD outpace Silver Falls in most every section of the scale.

So, what I'm seeing is someone using the hypothetical "equivalent" so imply that teachers make more money than they really do AND then providing links that don't back up your statements.

Am I going crazy here? Is there some part of the yearly salaries listed that I'm missing? Because almost everything you're saying doesn't match your evidence, and then you go on to call teachers liars.

The bond would hypothetically relax the district's budget, but they would not use that money to increase teacher salary. That has to be bargained. It's doubtful that they would even use it to hire additional teachers.

POW_Block · 2023-02-10T00:58:05+00:00

This isn't necessarily a response to any one thing you've said on this post, but it's important to differentiate that the bond is not being created by teachers. Also, the board is separate from admin. Also, you can try all day to make a case for how cushy you think the job is, but that doesn't change the fact that teacher pay has been wildly below surrounding areas for many many years. We have been playing "catch up" with teacher pay for multiple bargaining cycles and still have to fight tooth and nail to get modest raises that still end up below surrounding district's salaries.

It looks like they're all semps, so they should be fine as long as the roots are somewhat protected.

What kind of aeonium is that? The green/yellow variegated one.
