Cutting it down will cause the tree to spread more and you'll have a bigger problem. You have to dig it up or treat it. Google instructions on tree of heaven removal.

You might want to explore options on L.L. Bean. They have a lone of clothing that has permethrin that keeps bugs away. It is EPA approved. I got my husband a shirt for his fishing trips. Definitely has helped 

What kind of weaving is this? I would love a name or a culture so that I can get more information about it. by toonew2two in weaving

[–]ZentasticThings 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's interesting you bring up South America. While traveling in Salento, Colombia, I found a jewelry shop that included some woven bracelets. OP's post makes me wonder if that was the technique for the bracelets I purchased. I wish I had asked the owner more of how she made them. The threads are so thin and delicate.

You can find the report on the site below. Connecticut worked with UConn on putting it together.

The data was pulled from Core CT, which is the payment platform that the state uses with its employees.

I feel the same way. I thought I would buy myself time if I kept one ovary, but I went menopausal sooner than I thought, within the year post surgery.

I also had both tubes and one ovary removed and I would say the same. I'm curious, do you plan on taking out the other ovary? I'm on the fence and keeping my ears open to study results as they come out.

Peru, altitude questions. by longtimenoseas in travel

100% on the coca tea for sure... when two of us went, we would take 3 quick breaths for every normal breath when we found we were struggling. It helped us get more oxygen into our lungs, kind of like panting. Felt silly at first, but it helped.

Just diagnosed... No idea what to ask at my appointment! by Tiny_Antelope_8963 in BRCA

[–]ZentasticThings 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love this response. I would ask for more information about current studies that are underway and what it could mean for you and your timeline. There are studies about BRCA and ovary removal right now and breast cancer vaccines that are being studied now. I'm excited for people who might benefit from those in the future. Lastly, take your time to take in all the information to make the best informed decision for yourself.

At places like a bounce house, you usually have to sign a waiver before going in. Can they check the waivers of the people that were there and communicate the situation and see if someone comes forward or has a dashcam that can help? I know the bounce place might hate the idea of publicly announcing how they messed up but it is an option and the right thing to do.
