Because my anxiety prevents me from believing I have worthwhile information to share :)
Two years ago I planted one 4in pot and watered it a handful of times before midsummer. By the end of the season it was a nice 3ft shrub with yellow flowers. I left it alone and the next year there were hundreds (thousands?) of little green shoots all over my yard. The previous year I had put down cardboard and mulch to kill the grass so there wasn't much else there. I eventually gave up fighting because I'm a lazy gardener and many of those shoots became 6ft tall plants with yellow flowers. My irises didn't bloom because they blocked out the sun. Lesson learned.

Pretty sure renting the basement wasn't allowed as well. BTW, based on VA law, that particularl gun was considered "secured"

El Barrco, not sure if they take reservations but they have huge family style meals and plenty of tables. Great Sinoloan food, lots of fish and shellfish options

Reply to comment by funkipus in Happy Tuesdaily from the platform of Main Street Station. What’s the best spot to see the sunrise? by funkipus
Mine ended up with an increased price from what I originally paid because I didn’t want to stay as long as I originally planned. (Honestly I was fine with it though)

Yep that’s been my experience. It would really be great if Amtrak could make the price structure more stable and commuter-oriented on these routes. $16 per leg is great. Though I wouldn’t balk if it was $20 if I knew it would be that price every time.

We need to start handing out decades long sentences for gun offenses. Possession of a stolen gun? 20yrs mandatory minimum. Fail to properly secure a gun? 10yrs mandatory minimum. Gun used in the commission of a crime? 15yrs… It’s time to get serious with these pieces of shit. These aren’t victimless crimes. You want a gun? Then, fucking be responsible. Otherwise, rot your life away.

Fuck that kid. I hope he rots in prison for the rest of his life. Same goes for anyone else that commits violence against another. There’s no room for violence within society.

Reply to Social anxiety therapists? by notevenclosebabie
This isn't for a therapist in the area, but there are a lot of great resources on Larry Cohen's website (if you can get past the horrible color scheme).

no worries. It would be pretty shady if they said he charged, and then retracted the statement in court

>During a December 2021 court hearing, Michele Killough Nelson, a psychologist who specializes in forensic evaluation of juveniles for court, said, “There is something just off with Dylan. There is something funky going on, but none of us know what it is.”
>Nelson diagnosed Williams with unspecified trauma and stressor-related disorder and unspecified neurodevelopment disorder. But she added that treatment would be difficult without a clear diagnosis.
>Williams’ father was murdered when the boy was 2, and he watched his mother die from an asthma attack at age 12. He never received grief counseling. His custody was unclear in the intervening years, and he was likely exposed to domestic and sexual abuses, according to testimony at the December 2021 hearing.

Here's an example, I'm thinking about a family I used to know. They cooked a lot of pasta with meat sauce - easy, quick, feeds a lot, makes for easy leftovers. So keep the same pasta, switch to a non-meat marinara - same price so far. Instead of the ground beef, add in two cans of chickpeas. So same cooking time, still feeds a lot, same cooking skill, but the chickpeas are cheaper than the beef, so you come out ahead. It really is that easy.

I'd keep my family as far from him and his family as I could.
