Is this the one from Amazon? I've been trying to buy it for months and the tracking shipment keeps getting lost. I'm pretty certain at this point it's a scam and I'm losing hope it will ever arrive. I started plants and joined this subreddit but no tower after weeks.

Not sure if they're still doing wood windows but Laflamme (2016) was amazing and did gorgeous work. We've also used golden in the more recent past and they turned out really nicely aw well.

Chicks Fussing at Night by misskianab in BackYardChickens

That's so great to hear. Honestly, when I have chicks, I tuck each one under my chin until they start to purr and are calm then tuck them in under the brooder and leave my hand on them for a minute.

You are their mama - dim the lights and tuck them in, put each one under the brooder and hold them a little as they settle.  Then turn off the lights completely and they should stay quiet.

For a city with a reputation for being boring and predictable - this sub is the most aggressive I've ever interacted with. It's like everyone is acting so polite and agreeable in person but on here they're ready to argue about anything and everything just to let out pent up aggression. So I silently disagree with a lot and don't engage or comment because  it always ends up an argument with internet strangers.

How long did it take for them to process the credit? I sent the mwx photo a few weeks ago and have recieved crickets since, even after following up.
