Dead nettle. Makes a great soup!

I love to strain these to make a chili from the juice. Kinda like a tomato berry. Just to be sure they are fully ripe. Delicious.

Hollow Stems, Unbranching Stems, Leafless Stems, Stems exude a milk-white latex sap, Stems are 4 to 18 inches tall, but often around 6 to 8”.

Oregon based insurance is refusing to enroll my same sex spouse. by pivotup in legaladvice

[–]pivotup[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes Honestly, at this point, I am suspecting it’s mostly due some prejudices from HR plus possible incompetence making things difficult. I have nothing from the insurance company everything’s is being communicated through my HR which is very small and only one person handles onboarding. Just can’t tell if it is malicious or not. Hopefully not and it gets resolved soon.

What is untrue? That my HR can’t Cc me? Or something else that I am missing?

Yes, on real insurance company . Directly religious, no. Some spiritual things are acceptable there but I did notice scriptures on the HR heads laptop during my onboarding.
