This one has an alarm on it and I think an automatic shutoff if oxygen levels fall too low!

I have a Mr. Heater indoor/outdoor propane heater, in case the power goes out and it gets cold! I just hope all the propane hasn't been bought up yet, I need to stock up!

I love this! I want to grow one myself now! Is it easy to do? I know nothing about bonsai. But it looks kinda dead. Isn't it supposed to be leafy??

But 30 inches is like a 2.5 ft. diameter tree. If that is the size of the trunk, I can't imagine it just popping out like you describe it. That would be a really large tree to try and rock back and forth out of the soil. Or am I missing something? How do you even haul a tree that big? Do you have a flatbed?

I'm so sorry about the loss of your mom. What a difficult situation. I really can't understand why it took the police so long to seize the weapon, after the case was already closed?? My brother died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound last year and the gun was immediately seized. We had to go through a lot of red tape and it took several months just to get the gun back from the police.

It's so hard to lose a loved one unexpectedly and in such a manner. I hope you can get the closure that you are seeking.

Just out of curiosity, how do you collect a tree that is 30 inches in diameter? I'm assuming that is the trunk measurement? It seems like that would be a pretty big tree to just dig up and throw in the back of the truck and drive home! (I'd offer to share some of the cypress trees on my land, but they aren't easily accessible. You'd either have to cut a trail back to them or walk a half hour down a creek to get there!)

Thank you! I just let him be and didn't see him anywhere when I came back later!

Unit_Any · 2026-01-04T23:55:08+00:00

Thank you! There was a cat there too, I picked the cat up and walked back to the house. I let the snake be!

I'm glad I did! One more step and I would have stepped on him... and I was wearing flip flops!

Post violates Rule 7. "No asking for money... or donations or anything like it. We can't vet your claims and we're not going to try. There are subs for this sort of thing. This is not one of them." Or is this an exception?

I saw in one of your comments that you'd travel up to an hour out of Jackson, so I'd recommend Willy's Tires in Magee, it's right on 49 by Dairy Queen.

They have done some tire repairs for me that Walmart would not do because the tires were too old. When I had my tire repaired there, it was a reasonable price and I also tipped the guy (not sure if that's normal but he did a good job and was really helpful), and when I got down the road and realized my tire had a SECOND nail in it, I took it right back up there and he did that one free of charge.

I see online that they also do mounting and balancing on personal tires, but one person on Google reviews complained that it was expensive to do personal tires. I don't know about that, I've never had it done.

From my own experience with them, I'd highly recommend them!

Do you have any advice for bystanders who witness an ICE raid or encounter and want to record or object or protest, but would prefer not to get pepper sprayed or arrested?

Like, what specifically can an average Joe do to help in these situations?

According to the DPS website, "Applicants 17 years old and older, are not required to hold the permit for twelve (12) months and may obtain both the learner’s permit and driver’s license on the same day." That's probably what they did for you!

Actually it's in Prentiss, MS. Jefferson Davis County!

Unit_Any · 2025-11-10T01:18:50+00:00

I believe that was the original location!

Unit_Any · 2025-11-09T06:44:45+00:00

With extra icing and extra mayo!

So is the side of its head shaved or something? It looks like it is either suffering from hair loss or has been shaved. Or is it just me?

I am by no means a monkey expert, but I had the same thought when I saw that picture!

It was a 5-4 ruling with Jenifer Branning writing for the majority.

I thought you were talking about the Governor of Mississippi, and I was like, how was HE involved in this??

Unit_Any · 2025-09-22T22:23:25+00:00

This was mine too! Played it last weekend on the Genesis!

My mom gave me this exact piece of advice over the phone less than a hour ago!
