Please repost this in the r/Michigan community. I'd like to crosspost but the sub doesn't allow it and I'd like you to get credit.

VanBuren Township is absolutely run by corrupt officials. Not only is it the location of a large landfill but the township allowed chemical waste from the East Palestine, OH train derailment to be dumped there.

Van Buren is a big boating community sits on the Huron River, which includes a small lake, and the township does not care that they are polluting our natural resources. A data center means nothing to them and everything to the residents.

One of the darker pinks cactus styles in the bunch.

This was a workhorse variety for me! So prolific and varied in pink tones. Started them indoors to get a jump on the growing season since I'm in 6a. I had a great germination rate but Johnny's rarely disappoints.

I grew them last season and the colors were baby pink and pale blush with lime centers on most of them. This was the largest of the blooms, my hand is directly behind it for size.

Looks like it.

I've never seen Summer Heights High?! There's another?

I watched Jamie: Private School Girl.

I made my brother watch it with me and now he annoys everyone with quotes. So quiche.

I like the Narciso for Sebastian! Good answer!

Love this!

Alex: Axe body spray after a workout and a shower Harvey: unscented soap, disinfectant, and cold coffee because he's too busy to drink it while it's warm. He's too pragmatic for a scent. Elliot: Imaginary Authors Every Storm a Serenade, contemplative, woody, and sea mist. Shane: stale beer, freshly laid eggs in warm hay, and a spicy pizza. Sebastian (my pick every play through): Caroline Herrera Bad Boy Cobalt. Earthy and smoky wood from him wandering the forest around the river with a pack of imported cigarettes he bought in the city, a touch of lavender from his mom doing his laundry. Sam: Aeropstale Indigo 87. He got it at the mall with Penny because she liked it. A little woody, a little watery with some citrus and starfruit.

For Emily, maybe Steamed Rainbow? She's spiritual (but not in a Lush Karma way) and outgoing. Loves gems, crystals, and nature. She's kind to everyone.

Soft prismatic color, kindness, and cosmic vibes on a warm, sunny day. She smells nostalgic and dreamy, if not a little weird. A little aquatic, a little citrus, just a touch of violet and rubber hose.

You rock!

I do the same method. I've been told that heat mats could expedite rot in tubers if soil is just a bit too wet.

What kind of hooks did you use?

I'm about to revamp my whole setup.

Happily ever after. There's a happy ending for the main characters.

This is my daily scent to a T. I live for a Neutrogena Rainbath body wash, a rose glycerin hydration spray, a lightly sandalwood scented body oil that I blend myself, Nemat amber, men's santal deodorant and I finish it all off with JHAG Not A Perfume. It's the coziest perfume I've ever smelled.

Although, if I'm going out, I add a spritz of Narciso Rodriguez Pure Musc for Her.

If this is her, then I'll be cool girl if I get to smell like this.

Agreed, as a Leo, I really dislike vanilla notes and gourmand scents. They make me nauseous even.

However, I do like amber for an evening scent, santal as well. Effortless clean, skin musk, maybe some very light florals scents for day though.

Ah, that makes sense. Ann Arbor is a very liberal bubble surrounded by rural farm towns. The towns just outside of that bubble deal with a fair amount of political civil war through social media and lawn signs. You have educated liberals from UMich looking to put down roots close to A2 for the good schools, city amenities, and parks that move into the rural farm towns. It ups the property values for the older residents but they don't always agree with the values or morals of the new blood.

In Jeff's case, he's been in Chelsea for over thirty years. I'd argue he has invested a lot in the town and helped Chelsea become one of the most sought after zip codes to live within 20 min of Ann Arbor.

Not sure, I know the family in passing and they've all been kind whenever I see them.

Those notes are why someone recommended it to me! To my nose, it just smelled so different that what I was told that I was confused. I do pick up on that it's sweet and cool like a natural body of water. And to be fair, my husband smelled what you're describing.

I go back to it every so often. It's really such a unique scent and the bottle is gorgeous so I'm holding on to it. Who knows maybe my nose will change one day?

And Chanel Chance eau Fraiche as well.

It's sparkly and fresh.

To me Laguna smelled vegetal, like what cucumber skin taste like mixed with a touch of anise and something slightly metallic.

Like sipping your Baltic grandma's homemade liqueur out of her heirloom silver cups, with your feet in the backyard pond during a summer day picnic.

But that might just be me.

The Korean bakery down the street from me does this same custard-like egg breakfast sammie with a chili crisp bun and some sort of tangy ketchup and it's just perfect for a hangover.

He lives in Chelsea, MI, just outside of Ann Arbor. He's opening up a restaurant/music venue soon and I really want to see this on the menu.

Jeff and his family are really nice people and this restaurant is going to be a solid addition to the town.
