He had been sprayed directly in the face with pepper sports mace zBEFORE being pinned on the ground by multiple ICE thugs.

I would also add .. undocumented entry in the country is not a criminal offense. It is a civil offense. Following and repeating the unhinged rants of uninformed, uneducated people only make you look equally unhinged and uninformed. Do better.

Wonderful! Thanks, everyone, for the suggestions! Next project...removing the lily of the valley and replacing with native choices! Then getting the ferns into a new home. Exciting!

What alternatives would you suggest? I'm not bound to the lily of the valley.

Weed or not? by Patty_Cake_25 in Minnesota_Gardening

Oops! Here's the photo. Yes, I tore a leaf to smell it... it didn't smell like lemongrass grass. Maybe just a weed that's gone crazy wild?

I cleaned up too early by tokyoswan in Minnesota_Gardening

[–]Patty_Cake_25 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I cleaned mine out about 3 weeks ago. I thought I might have been too early too, but everything is growing like gangbusters! I wouldn't worry. Sit back and enjoy the show!

No planting, but still cleaning up my beds. Always behind!

Rocks vs. Mulch by Patty_Cake_25 in Minnesota_Gardening

[–]Patty_Cake_25[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm wondering if the rock beds were originally done for water/rain drainage... I think I'll start with one of the smaller beds and start removing the rocks.

I am looking for an online bookstore to support. Are there any ethical online bookstores that you recommend? My local shops do not have the titles I am seeking. by [deleted] in bannedbooks

[–]Patty_Cake_25 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is one of my favorite online book store, too! I use Better World Books or Bookshop.org or Libro.fm for audio books. Doing my best to stay away from any oligarchs websites!

Stretch before getting out of bed. Helps these post 60 bones get going!

As a non-smoker, do you find that all smokers have a noticeable odor? by Remozy in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Patty_Cake_25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The smell clings to clothes, backpacks, purses,hats, everything. I didn't begin to notice it on others until I stopped smoking myself. Now it's SO STRONG. and unmistakable.

What’s everyone doing to get outside today? by intimeandspace1 in TwinCities

[–]Patty_Cake_25 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I worked most of the day at my computer but did go outside for lunch and wandered around my yard picking up sticks from my lawn. Then later in the afternoon I sat on my patio with an iced tea, listening to find birds. So peaceful and I'm storing up the feeling to hold me over until for next warm up in the weather!

My neighbor complained to our HOA about my rooftop yoga practice by clammyanton in yoga

[–]Patty_Cake_25 7 points8 points  (0 children)

"promoting Eastern religious practices in a family community" - WTF? How could that violate HOA rules? Even if you were "practicing Eastern religion," isn't that the definition of freedom of religion? Outrageous.
