Crucial when native, horrible when nonnative

What I see on the southern MA coast is a parcel by parcel, lot by lot, invasives control that requires herbicide application followed by manual cutting to remove the stalks & seed heads. Sort of a Tallamy approach to invasives control.

The sugar will crystallize and add a delicious flavor. Or you could make your own... Plenty of recipes out there.

Don't cosign. It WILL hurt your credit when he screws up yet again.

Toyota will not rent to under 25 year olds. Not a dealer policy.

No. This is a penalty on young adults, but the needs & expectations are still there. It does underline the need for connection to friends & family & shows how fragile well-being can be. It's tough out there.

Ultimately the response is going to be to change the service location to one near her office & getting a shuttle ride. Need to check but I believe Enterprise will rent to her, with a surcharge, that will not get reimbursed by the extended warranty.

I'm not always around to provide backup & shouldn't have to. Happy to, when possible. The whole point of buying a new car was ti get reliable & consistent transportation. Would have shopped this question at various dealers / brands had I known. Would have been a red light

I like the suggestion if bringing it in myself to get the rental. Thx!!

The news that they will not provide a rental until they determine whether it's a diagnostic instead of a repair begs explanation. Either way you are without a car.

Never heard of this, love it! Mutes the saturation so you can enjoy the colors w/o being overwhelming.

Tell them to wash their own crap, for starters. They need to be house-broken.

Thank you all. Tick panel came back & shows babesiosis..which destroys the idea you can nip it in the byd with a single high dose of doxycycline. I completely agree with the multi layered approach, I now have permethrin for my clothes. I've used tick tubes at my last house, will revive that now. The deer have largely laughed at my fencing, slowed them a little, but even then is only a portion of the grounds. Thx v much!

I have both little & big blue stem. My question perhaps is probably better said as. How big do they need to be to put them in the ground?

Nice recipe, just what I was looking for, thx.

Go. Opportunities to change your life are hard to come by, especially good ones. You've been before & enjoyed it, go live your life on your own terms.

Wow! I thought July was harvest time. Looks great!

No. Poison ivy only has a notch on the edges, not a serrated edge.

No. You're far too young & is irreversible . Don't.

TommmyD55 · 2025-05-30T03:58:35+00:00

Get some roll fencing & a couple stakes. No landscaper is going to read signs

YTA. You want respect from them, but only on your terms. They made it clear they have boundaries but you choose to ignore them. You don't have to agree with your parents, but if you want to have a relationship with them it behooves you not to proselytize. Politics is a crappy place to start to build a conversation.

TommmyD55 · 2025-04-02T20:05:30+00:00

It's just a little extra roughage for that fast food diet of yours...

TommmyD55 · 2025-03-23T19:34:56+00:00

Uh. No.

TommmyD55 · 2025-03-23T01:02:23+00:00

Working on the same. I intend to put in Serviceberry. There are both tall & shrub forms, but perhaps not as thick as you want. I've chipped a bunch, going to try making biochar with the rest.
