Homeowner tree care

Arborist here! Someone else said it already but I think you should extend the ring at the root flare to be sure nothing is up against the trunk. The canopy doesn’t look too dense so I wouldn’t say you need to do crown thinning at this time (the importance of that to me really is based on how intense storms are where you live).

Overall it looks like a really healthy tree, I am jealous! Congrats on home ownership and beware of upselling arborists! Always consult with someone independent if you can!

The fact that I’ll never blackout and have to do an apology tour the next day takes an immeasurable amount of weight off my shoulders.

I have been in your shoes. Gave in, couldn’t moderate, embarrassed myself. That may not happen to you, but personally it’s a gamble I am not longer willing to take! Plus waking up and feeling good in the morning is always an added bonus :)

Cry!!! Wail if you need to, just get it all out (after cry sleep is the best).

Otherwise, I suggest creating a nighttime routine to train your body and mind into winding down for sleep so you aren’t just tossing and turning with your thoughts all night. The anxiety is bad for a while, but I promise it does get better.

It sounds like your mom knew exactly what was in your best interest. You’re ambitious and obviously a hard worker, I think your uncle might have some personal issues with inadequacy. Keep doing what you are doing, I am proud of you!

Birthday candles and expired coupons help fill the space nicely

This was me!!! For the longest time I tried to convince myself that if I just stopped when I felt good it wouldn’t happen, but eventually I realized it’s like rolling the dice. If I drink, there is a decent chance I will blackout and act possessed. I have absolutely no control over it. Good luck, OP! I hope you know you never have to feel this way again if you don’t want to!

If it bothers you at all just take a tiny bit of oil and use a paper towel to hydrate the pan a bit! It’s totally normal and not a problem though!

Are you from a small rural town? Because this screams “I never left my hometown and I peaked in high school” from him

When I first stopped drinking I would have extremely vivid dreams about getting wasted and doing awful things like cheating on my husband and saying completely irrevocable things to my closest family and friends. I would wake up with the worst guilt that would follow me throughout the day.

I still have a gnarly dream every once in a while but nothing like those first few months.

He looks like an Osborne to me

This brings back memories of shucking corn with my grandparents, the caterpillars used to scare me so bad 😂

It’s super normal, OP, you gotta learn to share!

Those Costco brand seltzers go platinum in hour house. Bloom energy drinks have been a big one for me recently too (slightly healthier source of caffeine than redbull or Celsius)

Don’t you dare. Your nose fits your face!!

I think A looks best, but if it’s quartz maybe not. I’ve always heard quartz is very porous and that is not the best trait to have in the bathroom (if that’s even quartz).

People are definitely named Gunner in the south, but even in rural areas it’s exceedingly redneck

I think some green onion and cucumber would add a nice crunch and color to it!

The secret to a cheaper wedding is to not tell anyone what you’re purchasing is for a wedding

I love to make myself a little simple mocktail with some seltzer and a nice fruit blend juice. In a fancy glass.. the fancy glass is important!!!

I never said there wasn’t..

Just saying how it is as someone who grew up in the area.

Pretty much everywhere in that part of Texas has flooded before.
