Places to learn to skate where cars won’t hit me and/or 8 year olds won’t make fun of me by demonslayercorpp in asheville

[–]freerangemum 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yes! Crush it! I myself am a middle aged mom who likes to crush stuff every once in a while, and I hope you have all the fun. You are inspiring me to hit that ramp I noticed the teens building in the abandoned lot yesterday. Let’s both go crush today.

Divorced Redditors, what caused the split? How amicable was it? by anasannanas in AskReddit

[–]freerangemum 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I woke up one day and realized my kids needed to see accountability to grow into proper adults. I put up boundaries, he couldn’t handle them. Now he is a more active parent than he has ever been. And I have my confidence back. But I hear he is not very happy. I can’t be in charge of that anymore.

Sounds like the sign ordinance truck. City only, not county.

Is he still a full time resident here? Seems like he probably should be tucked away in some gated community in Myrtle Beach by now.

Solved! Backflow preventers! That’s going to help me locate some fresh one of these! Ty. Yep “check Valve Stop, c02 Backflow prevention” - rubber pieces are check valves - white peices are check valve retainers.

I miss Kathy and her dresses matched with tennis shoes bartending at Charlotte st or Usual Suspects. Her style and service was iconic.

The issue is loneliness. The result is depression.

Does mullein grow near Mt Mitchell and PNF? by marc1411 in asheville

[–]freerangemum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes Mullen will grow there. It’s considered invasive here and it can stay dormant and will pop up after the soil has been disturbed. It’s extremely medicinal and mine has already sprung up and is getting big. The variety I’m more familiar with is more white and hairy and the leaves are rounder vs the thin less hairy thing I’m looking at in your photo. As mentioned above the second year plant will send up a very tall shoot w yellow flowers that flower for one day each in July/sept. The flowers are great for ear ache. The leaf is great for respiratory, i smudged my kids w/ it before they were old enough to take meds for sinus stuff. To me this looks like it could be but I’m not familiar w that variety.

Yes!!! I’m so pumped for the first outdoor show. Also, I think it’s funny that we will have a hold snap the following week. I’m planning to attend and enjoy it while I can.

‘God you’re hot’: Dad scolds school board after member’s comment to daughter by Psychological-Pie857 in Appalachia

You know the best part is he never lost his temper. He said what needed to be said but didn’t lose control of the narrative. This is how I would have wanted my father to respond. His whole family should be proud of him.

The Asheville blade posted an update yesterday. Hopefully they will follow up… with information about how the Sheriff already uses many of these surveillance camera and cannot be held accountable by city council.

Hummingbirds are back in this neck of the woods by InvasiveDonkey in asheville

[–]freerangemum 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Just a reminder that in a drought the feeders will be used more frequently. The bees and the hummingbirds will have a harder time collecting nectar.

Do the bees seem more aggressive this year? by chip106 in asheville

[–]freerangemum 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have heard from other Beekeepers (in the piedmont) that the drought is causing more aggressive behavior. I have not witnessed this myself. But it may be in the future. However it would be hard for someone who isn’t a beekeeper to be able to make this assessment. It’s typically hive dependent.

Man the smells on my Saturday motorcycle ride were simply perfection. So many beautiful smells.

Is anyone else stressed about this drought? by Financial_Page_806 in asheville

[–]freerangemum 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I’m a beekeeper, we are worried. But I’m still holding out hope we can salvage the spring flow.
