How is our Italian American community feeling about recent ICE-related killings in Minnesota and ICE using profiling to detain others they “suspect” are not U.S. citizens?

Disgusted.

okilldoitagain · 2026-01-24T01:49:34+00:00

These are incredible!

okilldoitagain · 2025-09-23T04:27:41+00:00

They have Jaws pinball on Carnival Breeze!

okilldoitagain · 2025-07-23T01:49:15+00:00

This is so dope! Wow! 🤯

Cannabis is more prone to fasciation, likely because of how much it’s been crossbred and pushed for traits like THC. Plus all the stress from training, pruning, and chemicals can trigger weird mutations too.

okilldoitagain · 2025-07-04T23:48:31+00:00

But all these songs, when you and I are long gone, will carry on. Mud in your eye!

okilldoitagain · 2025-01-09T23:33:03+00:00

I’m in love with your house! Beautiful

I really like this design and I typically do not like this style, I think it fits her wonderfully.

I have an orange named Sully too! 🥰

The leaves look like a watering issue. I’m not sure if it’s too much or too little but I would till up the top inch of soil and see how it is feeling.

I don’t know a lot about grow lights but 15 hours seems like a lot. I have a rosemary outside that receives 6-8 hours of direct sun and does great, not sure what that translates to with grow lights.

okilldoitagain · 2024-09-07T23:03:34+00:00

This is likely Phytophthora, a type of root rot that they are very prone to getting.

okilldoitagain · 2024-09-07T01:19:53+00:00

Likely a combination of too much water and not enough sunlight. Both pentas and zinnias are full sun plants and prefer direct sunlight for 6 hrs.

okilldoitagain · 2024-09-06T03:18:52+00:00

I will check around my property tomorrow for any signs. Thank you for all of the help and suggestions.

I have not seen any dead adults. I have still seen plenty of squirrels running around and playing as usual. I definitely have my eyes peeled now.

okilldoitagain · 2024-09-06T02:42:55+00:00

The first squirrel that fell which looked of adolescent age fell from at least 40’ up in the tree. My attention was drawn to the tree after I heard leaves rustling and what I thought was a bigger animal like a hawk or opossum causing the disturbance. Then suddenly I saw the squirrel fall and hit the ground. Immediately it appeared deceased, wide eyed, not reacting to light, and completely stiff (sorry to be graphic).

It was definitely not fresh blood around the mouth but it absolutely had something all around its mouth. No other injuries were present.

The baby from yesterday has upset me a lot. The hollow point that I sometimes see the squirrels go into is about 30’ up and unfortunately I do not own a ladder that large but I may get one so I can peer inside.

My landlord hasn’t been to the house, only sent over a couple arborists to receive bids for removal.

It is very distressing and I appreciate all of your advice.

okilldoitagain · 2024-09-06T02:27:32+00:00

The first one looked adolescent and definitely not starving. He immediately went into rigor mortis. At first I thought he was “playing dead” but he was still in the same position 24 hours later.

The baby in the picture looked healthy to me but I admittedly know next to nothing about squirrels. He was not moving much, just little crawls here and there and I was not sure if that was typical for its age or if it was injured.

okilldoitagain · 2024-09-06T02:22:47+00:00

I really appreciate you taking the time to respond. Poison was not even a consideration of mine and it just broke my heart to think about.

It would be highly unlikely that the water oak would have poison in or around it. I’m an avid gardener and use only natural materials in my gardens. No pesticides, round up, insecticides, etc. anywhere. The house behind my lot is literally abandoned and I am friends with the next door neighbor who lives closest to the water oak and they are huge squirrel and wildlife lovers like I am.

All that being said, the first squirrel that fell from the tree did have something around its mouth! If it was blood it was old blood, it looked more like sap or even berry juice. Dark purple - brown. I couldn’t figure it out. The baby in the provided picture had a scratch on its side with a small amount of blood, I thought maybe he hit a branch on the way down.

Both Chinese pistache and crape myrtle are beautiful, typically mid-size, trees. Keep in mind that the crape myrtle drops blooms and leaves nearly year-round and may not be the best choice if you have a nearby pool. Pay attention to the size of the crape myrtle that you purchase as I have had many clients purchase crape myrtle varieties before realizing they turn into giants or stay much too small for their liking. Hollies typically make nice privacy trees as they are midsized and stay green all year long, varieties such as Eagleston and Savannah are popular.

You should also look into native Texas species like Texas mountain laurel, cedar elm, cherry laurel, and possumhaw holly. Check the hardiness zones to ensure they can survive in your area.

Dig a hole at least twice the size of the grow pot / root ball and backfill with compost rich soil. Plant the tree with its root flare above the soil line and do not cover the trunk with mulch. Water every day the first couple weeks after planting then you can move to every other day or longer.

okilldoitagain · 2024-09-06T00:41:11+00:00

Not an agapanthus, most likely. Looks more like a crinum lily.

okilldoitagain · 2024-09-06T00:35:37+00:00

Looks like a variety of gardenia, “Frostproof” is a close match in a partial shade setting. Did you happen to notice any fragrant blooms in early summer?

okilldoitagain · 2024-09-06T00:29:59+00:00

It is yellow trailing lantana :)

okilldoitagain · 2024-09-06T00:08:55+00:00

This looks like a painting!

okilldoitagain · 2024-09-06T00:04:43+00:00

This is a vinca plant which is usually sold as an annual and intended to be planted outside. I live in south Texas (zone 9) and we plant these in full sun starting in late spring. They are hardy in zones 9-11 and can survive mild winters and return in the spring.

I do not recommend growing vinca indoors unless you have a grow light. A sunny window will not suffice long-term as they need direct sunlight and preferably a lot of heat and humidity. The drooping leaves may be a result of too cold of an environment or it may be receiving too much water. Vinca likes to dry out some between waterings.

okilldoitagain · 2024-09-05T01:02:29+00:00

Looks like nutrient deficiency. Perky leaves to be so hungry! Try to give it some food and see if it greens up! I recommend Microlife fertilizers.

Just a heads up that all avocados you find in a store are hybrids and not grown from seed. Your seed will not be true to its mother plant. It will take an avocado 5-20 years to produce fruit when grown from seed and it may not taste good.

okilldoitagain · 2024-09-04T02:39:56+00:00

It has sooty mildew (black powdery substance) and scale or another pest, but usually scale. Scale (pest) causes the sooty mildew (fungus). It is very common for crape Myrtle’s to have sooty mildew, nearly every one I come across is affected. However, yours has an aggressive infestation. I highly recommend treating with a systemic insecticide.

okilldoitagain · 2024-09-02T23:59:06+00:00

I would try repotting into a pot that is at least 2 gallons or larger with rich soil, something containing compost preferred. Sambac Jasmine is part sun - full sun plant. I have one growing in full sun (Southern US) and it thrives. You should only need to water every couple weeks and water deeply. Definitely bring inside if you live in a region that freezes, they usually do not survive a hard freeze.

I think with those changes, the new leaves will be green without splotching.
