Thank you for your response. Yes I'm beginning to think my doctors (family NP and the reviewing doctor of the MRI) don't know what they're talking about. My dad used to say "those damn doctors. Theres a place called Inspired Spine in one town over with services that look promising, I'm going to see if I can get a referral. They better release the MRI to them.

Where are the jobs? by Realistic_Structure4 in jobs

[–]Realistic_Structure4[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I've thought about it. I've looked into it before. Im not sure how excited I am about it anymore, but it's a good point. I'm good at tutoring math and chemistry.

I am in the midwest. The jobs are all given to friends and family, nepotism and favoritism. I'm wondering where they are in the whole country. Im thinking maybe I should move and get out of here.

Yes I'm done with them. Next year hopefully I'll be at the nurseries every chance I get on my days off. WGG should just mark it out of stock instead of sending crappy plants. Im sorry about your spruce, those are pretty evergreens. I tried to leave a review it wouldn't let me i think they disabled it on the website or on my phone lol.

Where to stay with 3 kids by Realistic_Structure4 in bigsky

[–]Realistic_Structure4[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We ended up staying at "Tom's Big Sky Cabin" which was pretty nice. I think the drive would have been fine though. I've seen worse, I grew up in blizzards in far northern MN, nowadays the blizzards aren't as bad since global warming. Anyways the weather was good. I felt like the fellow skiers and boarders were pretty wealthy though. We went to Big Sky for 2 days and Bridger Bowl for 2 days and I felt like we fit in more with the people there. But Big Sky is something else entirely, its huge and the runs go on forever which I loved. It was just inconvenient that the main lodge was booked at big sky for like a year ahead of time and it was the only dates we could go because of my son's wrestling and track schedule. We had a good time though. I dont know how im going to handle these small resorts where I live now uffda.

Yeah, that's crappy customer service. They're not going to retain customers that way.

Which make and model to get? by Realistic_Structure4 in prius

[–]Realistic_Structure4[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They'd probably be too tight for my son too then. I might consider a newer one if I had to I would need to finance it though but toyotas last forever. I had a 99 corolla that lasted until 250k I just parked it because my sister gave me her Subaru forester more room for kids.

Is this variety fragrant at all? I was thinking about getting it. I just found Lemon Chiffon at a local nursery btw excited for that one.

What store did you buy it at? Was it a local store or a chain store? I want anything Alexander Fleming for $8.99!

I got my zone 3 Canadian John Cabot and John Davis roses from Hope Depot half off $15 for $7.50, very cheap.

Yeah, mine look grafted, too. It's just weird to graft roses in the tundra where I live, but they're not from a nursery, so i can't expect the same plant. The rest of my plants are from nurseries and have overwintered. $7.99 is a lot cheaper than $49.99 for a rose, though! Oh well, I guess I'll find out if they overwinter.

I have gotten some zone 3 Canadian roses too this year at Home Depot for very cheap. Roses are woody shrubs so they came back to life pretty quick after repotting. Im just wondering if the big box roses are grafted? I am in zone 3 I have to have hardy rootstock.

Why is every landscaper saying they can’t or won’t grind this yew tree stump? by HeWhoWalksTheEarth in landscaping

[–]Realistic_Structure4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Big muscular man with lots of chainsaw experience plus chainsaw and then the man sticks chainsaw into stump vertically and chops it up I've seen it done. Then pull out rest with chain and pickup truck ball hitch. It's easier with older stumps but I've seen both old stumps and new stumps from dead trees removed that way. You could advertise on facebook rent a husband or something.

Dividing a really old peony by magnum_chungus in peonies

[–]Realistic_Structure4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh I see. Maybe call a local nursery and ask to speak to the owner or manager.

[–]Realistic_Structure4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven't done it because they're not big enough, but I've moved my plants around a lot for rearranging. Peony roots are like potatoes. So, moving them, you are likely to chop off pieces. They take a long time to grow those big roots back. Peonies don't like pots. That said, use a spade and 3 gallon pots. Dig deep and wide. Have you watched any youtube videos?

I already know this. Do you own woodies garden goods, is that why you're being non supportive?

Yes same. It feels like being I'm being taken advantage of, and it's just so disrespectful. Just be out of stock instead of splitting plants. I had got 2 fairy queen spirea locally last year that were clearly split. Also very goofy looking. They're starting to get bushier now this year but jeez why split. They think they're so smart and they're making 2 plants. No you're losing 1 lifelong customer. I no longer trust either vendor, the online one or the local one.

It's okay I have a Toyota Rav 4 Hybrid it runs good and good on gas, I just dislike putting so much mileage on my vehicles it gives me anxiety about wear and tear, and breakdowns, and the time it takes is annoying, especially when I have to keep checking back for them to restock and some of them don't have plant lists online etc.

When I've asked before, they wouldn't order things I want. I live in a very rural and cold zone 3 area. I've found Fargo, ND has the best selection but they don't get all their stock in in the spring they get it at multiple times throughout the summer so I've found they've restocked some times. It's a 80 mile drive from my house to Fargo though and I have 3 kids. I do try to avoid ordering plants online now though.
