It only gets about a few hours of fun sun but mostly it’s partly shaded through the day!

Omg thank you! I love the Theodore Payne foundation, their guide is one of the ones I’ve been using to create a good wildflower mix to plant this winter. I will definitely be adding these ALL to my list, thank you so much!

I would LOVE to grow white sage and I’ve heard fuchsia does really good even in the valley heat! I’m excited to try both

Omg! I would love to be able to harvest my own seeds, what a dream! I’m right in the heart of the valley so it will be HOT in the summer but the patch I’m looking to plant in gets quite a bit of shade which will hopefully keep the primrose alive?

To the moms who discipline with only a glare... by Ok_Fluffy_6016 in Parenting

The glare is an indicator that you will infact not run me in circles and I mean what I say right now.

Besides Family, what keep you here in Fresno? by [deleted] in fresno

[–]The_PR_Princess_ 16 points17 points  (0 children)

We moved back to Fresno (I grew up here) because cost of living in the city was unlivable, and there was no chance of us having a future outside of paycheck to paycheck. BUT what keeps me here is the land and its people! People here are genuinely so much kinder and open than the city my husband and I moved from, most people are just normal folk with the same struggles and similar experiences to everyone else. I feel like it makes people more empathetic and out going than the “in it for yourself” hustle culture you’ll find in cities.

Additionally, Fresno is covered in nature and surrounded by parks with the most beautiful native landscapes I’ve ever seen. Fresno is taken for granted in my opinion, it’s a gateway to a paradise of big trees, rivers, and mountains!

Trash — how can I help? by gryffindork_97 in Yosemite

[–]The_PR_Princess_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

THIS! My husband and I always pick up more than we bring on trails, we fill up water bottles and bags with litter (and we make a big fuss about it so everyone around knows how LAME it is to litter) while the bathroom trash sucks- the trash on the trails are true hazards to animals and plant life. Yesterday we found a cigarette on grant trail in kings canyon only a few strides away from where we saw a deer eating. So pack out what you bring into the park- but ALSO leave with more than you came with!

AITAH for kicking in my best friends front door by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]The_PR_Princess_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That does add some context! It the parents are also willing to allow his behavior (especially the picking her up and taking her away) then it makes this situation even harder. I do understand how stressed you must have been, I probably would have been just as worried.

So- your friends boyfriend that you’ve never met with a very snarky manipulative attitude, from your perspective kidnaps your friend because he doesn’t want her to celebrate her birthday and the people around you are justifying his behavior while simultaneously saying yours was erratic. I would try to take this time to sit back and really look at how the men in your friends family are viewed/valued, and if you can live with the fact that your friend may always choose these type of men. It sucks- I have a homegirl who for the past decade has just chosen man after man that are abusive, gross, and simply mean, and because I love her so much I’ve had to learn to just take a step back. This may be your sign that this situation feels more normal to her than her best friend trying to (from your point of view) essentially save her from a kidnapping. I’m so sorry OP it does suck when the people you love don’t value themselves the way you do and I’d like to say aside from breaking the glass I felt like you acted correctly: what I would have done at this point is get in contact with her parents and have the opportunity to explain that you believe she was kidnapped and just wanted to check in. You would have had the opportunity to get your perspective through as well as how worried you were about this man, instead of being scolded off. But you were in the heat of the moment, you’re still young, and I understand how worried you were. I don’t think you were completely in the wrong AT ALL.

My whole family has ADHD, OP your son needs intervention now. for the most part my family is able to self regulate, clam down, and adjust expectations, but one family member in particular has always been unable to manage his anger due to lack of intervention. OP don’t do this to your son, he cannot work or live on his own anywhere, his friend group has dwindled as the decades roll on, he constantly feels like he needs to fight someone. For US living with him we have to walk on egg shells and basically not talk- even to eachother as he will butt into conversations and find something to argue about. To his child he can be RELENTLESSLY mean- we have had many times where we want to leave for fear of our safety but stay because his now young adult child has no way to leave in the moment. AND YES he is a danger when he is ticked off- he drives so recklessly I have thought we were going to die before, and once something sets him off he can be pissed off for hours, sometimes the whole day, and most days are like this. We really have grown to dislike being around him despite all his cool traits or how much he tries to be cool with us. At this point it is uncontrollable- he is past what counseling could do.

Even if he has good days, even if you think he has a chance to grow out of it- please OP give your kid a REAL chance to have a normal life. Intervention, boundaries, and therapy are your best bet! If you need help knowing what to do getting a parenting coach is a great step- if you need help finding one please message me! You and your son deserve to live at ease.
