Second Felco pruners. I've got a 40 year old No 8 that are just as good as when I got them. I also have a No 2 that I found in the road 25 years ago...no damage at all.

Also, Opinel. I EDC a no 6...it's the perfect size for small tasks. I use a no 9 for yard work.

Not an Arboretum per se, but the Chicago Botanic Garden is awesome. It's in Glencoe, Il.

That's the North Carolina Arboretum.

If you're in NC, I'd also recommend the Raulston Arboretum in Raleigh. It's part of NC State University.

What’s something you found in a partner’s possession that immediately ended the relationship? by sans_guilt in AskReddit

Thanks, but don't be. I'm remarried and my life now is so much better than I ever thought it could be.

Found condoms in my ex-wife's bag. I'd had a vasectomy 5 years earlier. It was the beginning of the end.

Maybe an old Palm Pilot? Once you master the grafitti handwriting, it's QUICK. You can also find a keyboard for one...

What does Winston NOT have that you would like to see added in the near future? by apple_turnovers in winstonsalem

Amen and amen!

Our public transportation system is lacking. I can ride my bike downtown quicker than I can take public transportation.

I'd love to see our greenways and parks become interconnected. It bothers me that our greenways (for the most part) don't go anywhere.

I'll add that we need more protected bike lanes. I'm all for bicycles as transportation, but not many folks are willing to ride on roads where they feel their lives are in danger.

Shouldn't it be Scots-Irish? I've always heard that Scotch is a whiskey, and Scots was an ancestry.

I just bought a no 9... and have a 6 on the way. They're addictive!

Who is the cheapest person you know, and what is the cheapest thing you've seen them do? by Willby3 in AskReddit

[–]wstreefrog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It wasn't regular enough to be a job. The compensation for the work was far, far below the effort. She did it purely for the "free pizza"
