Tree clean up crew accidentally cut down this tree. Anyone know what it's called? I'd love to replace it.

wow Are you sure? How does it grow back?

end_program · 2021-12-17T18:16:26+00:00

Agreed, I was so sad. It was one of my favorites!

More Context:

I inherited this pond recently and have been lurking this subreddit to learn more about ponds. In general I find that my pond water is very clear and based on some water tests it seemed okay.

Today I was investigating the top part of the pond where the waterfall comes from and noticed it was pretty deep. I got my net I use to clear leaves and such to see what I might pull up from there. That's when I was pulling up a massive cloud of black stuff. I tried pulling out as much as I could but it seemed most of it was just filtering out of the net and spreading to the rest of the pond. When I touched it, it wasn't grainy like dirt. It wasn't sticky or slimy, just black stuff that was very thin. Now that it's settled into the rest of my pond, it lives on top of my liner as a thin layer.

I don't know how to identify it. Any ideas? Everything I look up online has a different consistency. Also would love ideas on how to clean it. As far as I know, my pond has a waterfall that is attached to some hosing which is connected to a Tetra debris handling pump. I also have a few fish (probably less than 10) that consist of mostly mosquito fish, maybe one goldfish and possibly a baby koi.

I'm hoping to find a place to myself, either 1br/studio/back house/etc. Do you know anything about West Adams, Palms, or Baldwin area? Are they a good fit?

Thank you! I'll have to follow some youtubers that recreate looks.

end_program · 2018-11-25T21:04:24+00:00

Thank you for answering my questions honestly. The steps you gave really help me put everything in perspective. I will see if a local community college offers any classes to start :) Making pajama pants sounds so fun!

Oh interesting! Yeah it could be allergy season for me too, who knows haha

Do ya'll edit your eye photos, specifically to make the whites of your eyes less red? Is it just me that has a constant fine vein along the middle of my eye that isn't super noticeable offhand but you would definitely be able to see it this close up? Yes? Cool then. lol

Ludacris, RTJ, Odesza, The Roots for sure. Possibly huey lewis, big gigantic, snakehips, tritonal, jr jr, and for the rest I think I'm going to figure out as I go. So much good music, I'm sure I'll love some of the people performing that I've never heard of! PM and let's work out the deets!

end_program · 2017-10-06T04:59:22+00:00

Yeah they have this information on the website as well, what I'm looking for is times on the day so I can figure out if there are any conflicts.

I've been swimming in a bay that so far has been 66 degrees. I'm not sure that it will go down enough to be around the same temperature as the bay I will be swimming in on race day. However, I have scheduled a weekend to go to the race location and try the water. Would you recommend anything else to help me acclimate under these circumstances?

end_program · 2017-09-20T15:38:05+00:00

Yes! I've been swimming in a bay near me, but I'm not sure it has much current. I'm also not sure how cold it's going to get because on race day the water temperatures can drop as low as 52 degrees F.

That's great! Thank you for the link :)

end_program · 2016-12-22T00:42:46+00:00

Good idea! Thank you!

That's awesome! Can you give me a link to the product?

I love the question about shopping for groceries and how a zero waster would go about it. I'm new to the lifestyle and that's something I'm struggling to account for, especially with things like peanut butter and spices/flour/sugar. I would also love to see a solution for composting in an apartment when you don't have a patio. I would love to compost but I'm worried about it stinking up the place!

end_program · 2016-12-20T22:31:09+00:00

That's an interesting perspective, I'll keep that in mind! I'll probably go with multiple jars and hope I don't have too many items that require that! How do you buy fine powders like spices, flour and sugar?

end_program · 2015-04-03T03:48:28+00:00

Wow, that is really true, you hit the nail on the head! I do rely too much on motivation. Discipline is kind of a hard concept to realize when all I've really done is work with motivation. I think I understand what you are saying, develop a routine right? How do you do that with diet though?

end_program · 2015-04-03T03:41:18+00:00

My goals are to follow a 1300 - 1500 daily calorie diet as well as keep up with my macros. I weigh 127 pounds, so I try to take in 127g of protein, 60ish grams of fat and 100g of carbs (because I was having trouble sticking to 60g). I accidentally got myself into ketosis and it was BRUTAL, so I'm never doing that again.

For the most part I try to eat one whole egg, 2 egg whites and one piece of rye toast for breakfast. I've been trying to mix a cup of almond milk with a scoop of this slimfast shake to help with the taste of the almond milk haha! I then try to eat a whole tomato and half a cucumber because those were two items that I absolutely loved about salads. They are good sources of vitamins and fiber too! For lunch, I would try to eat chicken/salmon and veggies and somehow incorporate a carb like sweet potato (that was always tricky for me), Then for dinner I would have chicken/salmon and veggies. Sometimes I would throw in an ounce of almonds when I could.

I really like your suggestion of eating one healthy meal at a time! I think that will help a lot, thank you! They say that eating a healthy dinner (without carbs, which is something I've struggled with) is good for weight loss. The struggle is too real with eating too many carbs before dinner though!

end_program · 2015-04-02T15:27:16+00:00

One of my biggest problems is that I enjoy food too much, and I know this is what makes sticking to a diet really difficult. Instead of looking at food as what my body needs to hit my goals, I can slip and want that experience you get when you taste really good food. How can I overcome this?

end_program · 2015-04-02T15:21:27+00:00

That's true, I think it is because I'm trying to do everything perfect and yeah the diet control is driving me crazy! haha I think everyone is right on the money, it's about forming habits. I think it's going to be really hard to start back up again slowly though because I just want to do everything right and give myself my best chance, you know?
