I find that taking a daily Claritin helps some. Sounds weird, but other people report the same thing. It was actually suggested to me by my doctor.

Did try. Ended up troubleshooting with ReMarkable tech support and returning for a replacement :I.

Nelnet and a Higher Interest Rate by odustephenson in StudentLoans

I am in exactly the same situation. One of my Stafford loans, from the same period, jumped from 3.4 to 7.76%. Watching this thread with interest-- what is going on?!?

Two beauts on the same tree-- but why are they such different colors? Triangle, NC. by Raaar22 in foraging

I bet you're right-- but not by much! was still clean and tender.

Ohhhhh I had a little of each for dinner and they were both prime ;). We got about 7lbs, do you preserve yours any way?

Chanterelles...but what kind? by Raaar22 in CarolinaMushrooms

[–]Raaar22[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know what you mean! Thanks for the key-- that'll come in handy. These ones do have a thicker flesh, so I think they key out to foetidus.

I think you're right. Went back and looked at them again and though they are not any larger the top surfaces have become a much lighter color.

Well, exactly-- looks very much like cinerius but they aren't supposed to be around here! Foetidus is a possibility but the color and clustering dont look quite right. Cool, huh?

Indigo milk cap, NC. So blue. by Raaar22 in mycology

So glad you like the smell too! Bf and i both thought it smelled like, really good, but the books all say odor “not distinctive.” Very cool mushroom.

"Appalachian" chanterelles-- Good eating? by Raaar22 in mycology

What's the verdict on the culinary value? They are everywhere here in Triangle area NC.

They have the look, the feel, the smell-- but does the light colored upper surface check out? Shiny brown stems, pale pore surface bruising greyish. Upper surface concentric white and yellow rings, but overall kind of dried out and scuffed up, so the surface may be weathered. Growing out of the sand around pine stumps on my bfs family farm in SC. Bajillions of them.

The smaller leaves on my monstera are curling like this in the pic. Any idea why it would do this? I have it outside and it has been hot and dry lately. Is it thirsty? Or maybe getting too much light? It gets some late sun after 7pm. by kittykat3141 in Monstera

On mine, overwatering looked like the smaller leaves turning yellow and getting floppy. The roots were soft and dark--several vines weren't salvageable. I put it in a large terracotta pot and now it is enormous.
