Reply to comment by [deleted] in Sword ferns growing on a spruce (?) tree near Neah Bay by pastoriagym

My non PNW-native husband visited my home with me recently, and he asked me what he could do about the stinging nettle he got on his hands.

I was SO happy to finally use that random piece of knowledge that I haven't used in like seven years hahaha. Ferns really are cool! Especially sword ferns, in my opinion.

Reply to comment by chilanvilla in An email I sent to Washington State officials. Give me your thoughts lol and comment/send your own to them bc we r over it. by Zestyclose_Title4822

1: tell them what you want to tell them. 2: tell them. 3: tell them what you just told them.

Include the who, where, why, when, and how as best you can.

Good starting point. A lot of people giving this kid a hard time but this is constructive feedback for life in general.

Honestly if OP has a passion for participating in local politics more power to him. 24 years old is plenty early to start studying the craft. But yeah part of communicating is knowing your audience and being savvy in the words you use.

Reply to comment by curiousfog5 in Washington State Department of Revenue launches new tax credit. The Working Families Tax Credit could give qualifying individuals up to $1,200. by crabcakes110

That may cover sales tax for food but just barely. With the way prices have gone up my family of five went from spending $800 a month to nearly $1000, and I wouldn't be surprised if our food budget has to increase more.

We definitely should be working for subsidized or free childcare/Pre-K. It's insane how much it can cost. Right now I pay $750 a week for my three year old and one year old. That's literally half of my monthly budget.
