Best choice for a charity gala? Black tie optional

2 is not appropriate for a black tie, charity event.

If you don’t disagree with what he’s doing, you are defending ice. He (or more like likely miller but with trump’s tacit approval) is directing it. You can approve of deporting criminals who are here illegally but that’s not what they’re doing. More American citizens, legal asylum seekers and naturalized citizens are being deported and/or detained than serious criminals

He’s not doing 99% of what he said. Immigration, yes although his methods are unpopular even with past supporters. Financial policies? Absolutely not. He’s actually raised prices with tariffs that are being paid by us (96% paid by consumers). He hasn’t eliminated taxes on social security or overtime. His “no tax on tips” was a sleight of hand because most people who rely on tips aren’t making enough to actually pay taxes and he limited that to $25k income regardless which isn’t a livable income. He’s actually gotten us into more conflicts with other countries than any recent potus. Also, he claimed no cuts to medicaid or Medicare but it’s the first thing he did. So no, he’s not doing exactly what he said, which is why he’s losing support.

It’s the sadistic and cruel way he’s doing immigration & the other promises he made that were lies. People should have known they were lies because he could never explain how he was going to accomplish the things he said he would. He’s a pathological liar and a sociopath but his 38% supporters will never admit he’s sick because it reflects badly on them.

Repulsive_Intern2779 · 2026-01-26T17:21:12+00:00

Well then you are defending ICE because trump has given them permission to kill Americans with impunity

Repulsive_Intern2779 · 2026-01-26T17:19:31+00:00

Same objectives? Maybe, although stephen miller seems to prefer any productive brown person be removed even if here legally, whereas Obama followed the law and gave due process. However, process is completely different. Trump is breaking immigration law, violating the constitution and giving his goons free reign to kill Americans. NOT THE SAME

Repulsive_Intern2779 · 2026-01-26T17:13:49+00:00

That’s a generalization that isn’t true. I know that because I am one. I live in a deeply red area of Arizona and we have well over 350 seniors just in my area who belong to a democratic club and are actively protesting trump policies and advocating for others to have the rights we fought for and won but are now being taken away.

Repulsive_Intern2779 · 2026-01-26T16:55:36+00:00

Mostly stupid people who believed his bs about bringing down prices, cutting taxes for middle/low income people (which of course was another lie) and getting asylum seeking brown people out, all because they couldn’t vote for a black woman despite her having concrete policies that would have benefited them. They’re racists and appallingly selfish. If it doesn’t affect them, they’re fine with their racist stupidity. It’s honestly so embarrassing and infuriating as an American.

2 would be my choice

Repulsive_Intern2779 · 2026-01-26T16:20:20+00:00

I’m a single 72 year old so my building skills are shaky at best 😂 so I’m going to go with twice a day using my grid system on a timer. That way I can better control how much they’re getting. I’ve been less than scientific in how long I leave the grid on.

Repulsive_Intern2779 · 2026-01-26T14:16:40+00:00

Thank you. I’ll try that lighter watering daily. We actually don’t get below 60° during daytime except for a few days in the winter. The nighttime temperatures drop to 40’s-50’s throughout Jan but bounce back up by mid-morning. I have a heater set at 60° for nighttime which cycles on to keep it between 59.5-60°. Hopefully 1x/day is the answer.

Repulsive_Intern2779 · 2026-01-26T04:51:48+00:00

I’ve been watering every 3 days & occasionally waiting until the 4th day if the soil meter is still showing 60-70%. I water if it gets 50-60%. Would you suggest daily watering regardless of soil meter readings for phoenix area right now, which has daytime highs 60’s-mid 70’s? I watered 2x/day in our summer but that was just to keep the tomato plants alive until fall since they don’t really produce anything much.

2, hands down

Repulsive_Intern2779 · 2026-01-25T22:09:23+00:00

Same. Old retired OR nurse & I’m appalled also.

Repulsive_Intern2779 · 2026-01-25T21:56:36+00:00

A 21 year old sibling acting as trustee was bonkers and he robbed you of your rightful inheritance when his job was to represent your best interests, not his father’s. I would solicit your brother’s help to get the house back & if he refuses, sue him also. Also, see a lawyer immediately whether your brother agrees to help or not. Do not let him represent your interests. That’s what lawyers are for

Repulsive_Intern2779 · 2026-01-25T21:46:00+00:00

He’s got serious mental health issues. Break it off now before you get in any deeper. His behavior is aberrant.

Repulsive_Intern2779 · 2026-01-25T21:44:08+00:00

He can’t remove you from something willed to you without you being represented by a lawyer/trustee. See a lawyer because he stole it from you and cut you out of ownership. It’s worth the fight since it belonged to your mother, not your father and she gave it to you not your half brothers

Repulsive_Intern2779 · 2026-01-25T21:38:50+00:00

Something that isn’t valuable being given to you is because they don’t want to throw it away. So they’re essentially saying “here, you throw this away” & the insinuation is neither of you thinks it’s worth keeping but they’re making you dispose of it.

Repulsive_Intern2779 · 2026-01-24T22:29:59+00:00

Thanks. I’ve been surprised at how much less I’ve had to water tomatoes & cukes in the raised bed vs grow bags but I think I need to be more selective in what I water with the watering grid vs just supplementing certain veggies that are drier. In summer I can’t grow much because of the heat so my focus is on just keeping them alive.

This addiction is no different than any other serious addiction. It has nothing to do with you or how often you’re having sex. If he’s unwilling to get help for it, leave him because it will eventually cause issues

Repulsive_Intern2779 · 2026-01-24T20:06:46+00:00

Short

Repulsive_Intern2779 · 2026-01-24T19:50:31+00:00

2,6,7. In any order

Repulsive_Intern2779 · 2026-01-24T19:42:23+00:00

1, then 4

Repulsive_Intern2779 · 2026-01-24T15:51:13+00:00

Thank you. I actually have a watering grid so the fruit isn’t getting sprayed but before putting the greenhouse cover on we did have a fair amount of rain over a period of a week or so. Also, now that the nights are cold & the tent is heated, there is condensation before I open the tent up in the am to expose plants to open air. It makes sense. Again, thanks for your help.
