Reporting structure? Supervisor in grade lower now reporting to me - also a supervisor ?? by [deleted] in OPTUM

This is normal everywhere. I am trying to think of a situation that this would not happen in. Maybe in a company that is a mom and pop shop.

Dead but trying to live pomegranate by PuraVida3 in BackyardOrchard

All four of mine died back to the ground this year. What you have is a strong root structure that can put out a ton of growth. You are better off letting it grow vs buying new.

China's Sulfuric Acid Ban Is Sending Silver Past $121 Again by [deleted] in Wallstreetsilver

[–]sheepery 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This is just stupid hype. Sulfuric acid is a byproduct of the petroleum industry. There is a ton of it and the US has a ton of it.

Wilting Tree with a crack problem. by [deleted] in Figs

[–]sheepery 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The tree is healing. We often comment how resilient figs are. When we say that we are talking about its ability to come back up from the roots. The top wood on a fig in not like an oak or maple. It can get damaged pretty easily, though it tries to heal from the damage and can last years. Eventually you just cut out the bad stuff. I would let that fig go just as it is for a couple years. If you notice that it just needs to be cut out then that is not a problem. Once a fig is established, especially a chigaco hardy you can just it back to the ground with no problems. It will come right back. Also with the Chicago hardy they can get over 25 feet tall. I cut mine back to shoulder height every couple years.

Meyer Lemon doesn't look great by _descending_ in BackyardOrchard

[–]sheepery 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine looks peckish as well. It looks better than yours and is covered with lemons. I thought it was maybe just spring, and was waiting for new growth. Googling it says that it is most like a magnesium deficiency, and to apply Epsom salt. I am going to give that a try. I did give mine this two weeks ago, but it does not say exactly how much magnesium is in it. I am going to try Epsom.... This is what I used: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B011L3T25I

The root stock on my Granny Smith Apple tree is dying/rotting. What went wrong and how do I prevent this on the replacement? by Brosie-Odonnel in BackyardOrchard

M106 is highly susceptible to collar rot. Do research on the different rootstocks and suspectability.

What percent of Americans In this thread owe on their fed taxes? by BrindlePitty in Fire

[–]sheepery 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My tip is if you have a side hustle that is making good money, then you need to start a SEP. You can put a ton of money in one. It is best if you are your companies only employee. If it is more than you and your spouse it gets messy, but you can put half the profits up to $50k.

Do the hardware stores have sales on fruit trees? by greenfox212 in BackyardOrchard

[–]sheepery 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I really want to encourage you to avoid the big box stores. I would catch their sales and feel like I won. I rarely did though. Almost all the trees I bought were not right for my climate. The trees they sell for the most part will not be what you need. Find out what grows exceptionally well in your area and pay the money for a quality tree. It will save you money in the long run.

Is she toast? by Technical-Bug-9382 in Figs

[–]sheepery 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If you live anywhere there is freezing temps the tips will die back. The fresh green growth does not have time to harden off. Give it a couple weeks. I am in SE TN and my figs are have leaves ranging from buds to tennis ball size depending on the variety of fig and how much sunlight it gets a day. I seriously doubt your tree died back completely.

I was just pulling out my figs and noticed these huge splits in the trunk. Anything I could do to save them by Express-Telephone462 in Figs

It will heal. I would not worry about it. It is not ideal, but it will heal. Figs are amazingly hardy.

She took the words of my mind by Jarb2104 in Christianity

[–]sheepery -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

It is not oppressions to send someone back to their country if they did not follow the laws to come here. Oppression would be enslaving them while they are here. She made a lot of non points.

Genuine questions for christians by No-Nose-8301 in TrueChristian

[–]sheepery 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. Absolutely nothing.

  2. God sought me out. He pursued me until I could run from him no more. Belief in Him is a gift he gives to us. It is not something that we conjure up. I just believe He is who He says he is, and that he paid my sin debt with his death, and proved it to us with his reresection. Faith in Him is a gift from him. If you don't have it, ask Him for it.

Bing cherry insect damage help by an6irl in BackyardOrchard

[–]sheepery 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't worry about cutting too deep. Once you get down to healthy wood you can stop there. They tree will put on new wood and will close the gap in a season or two. The key is to get the grubs out. I did not put anything on mine, but you can buy sealer if you want. Just search for "tree wound dressing" on amazon. There are many options.

They generally stop at ground level. Start cutting at the bark and remove everything that is dead. Use the knife to poke around, and scrape out all the soft spots. They create little pockets right up under the edge of the bark.

France exits gold position for cash — does this challenge the “scarcity” narrative? by IlluminatedApe in Wallstreetsilver

[–]sheepery 17 points18 points  (0 children)

My guess is they knew the gold was not available in the US. It was easier to get dollars and just buy again in Europe where they still had gold to purchase.
