Anything you really want? I’m planting basil, thyme, dill, tarragon, winter savory, summer savory, parsley and cilantro. I can probably do rosemary and oregano cuttings once it’s spring again.

I want to try gardening for the first time living on the East coast. Any tips? Is it best to do it in a bed planter or directly on surface?

Too many great memories there. Fridays 80’s night was legendary too.

>Carvana (and places like Carmax) have really high prices for used cars. You can’t negotiate. You do get the 7 day return privilege, I guess. But that wouldn’t make up for the higher price imo.
The deal on my car is really good as I searched a 200 mile radius and their price is definitely the best. From what I remember Carmax always tries to make $2k a car, but Carvana only makes $1-1.5k currently according to some youtube videos I watched.
I'm more so worried about all of their titling issues honestly.

I don't know of any local groups, but r/MensLib might have some connections to online groups. Just found this program through searching that sub: https://www.hope4-recovery.org/program.html

I'd kill for some herbs! If you'd be willing to share, I'm happy to exchange for baked goods.

I had no idea that you could cook with it! I learned about this plant (or something very similar) from where it grows wild in coastal Georgia. I thought it might be good to have on hand for first aid purposes.

So excited for gardening season (but I still want more snow/cold temps beforehand!!) this year! Growing garlic for the first time. I got it planted in mid-Nov. I will feel like a boss if it turns out ok and next year I'll grow 3x as much.
Also doing the yearly batch of:
Tomatoes (at least 15 plants, many varieties)
Onions
Banana peppers
Kale
Chard
Red and green cabbage
Kohlrabi
Basil
Marigolds, many may marigolds.
Skipping radishes and carrots this year. They just don't seem worth it for me anyway. Never seem to have good luck regardless of what I do to the soil.

Reply to What used car dealer do you recommend? by X_PRSN
I feel like most of the answers here are recommending the most expensive options like blue knob and carshop which isn't what you're looking for.
You basically need to look everywhere (used car dealers, facebook, craigslist) as long as they let you check the car over properly. If you want the best chance at a decent car you need a third party opinion of someone who has experience with that particular make and model.

Bought one from Lot 1 Cochran dealership in Robinson and regret that day. Swear to hid they just put a sticker on there and called it a day. Things started going wrong almost immediately and they completely screwed up the title transfer. 0/10

Well that and they’re dead simple to grow. They can handle direct sunlight and drought fairly easily. And if you show them even just the smallest bit of care (watering and deadheading) they’ll reward you with a spectacular show from planting season until first frost.

I buy seedlings from Blackberrymeadows.com- I usually sign up for a garden share- they provide the plants, seeds and garden plan- they also provide instructions and as season progresses provides seasonal additions to keep the garden growing until fall. Best investment ever. If you just want a one shot you can buy a garden in a box/ USDA certified organic- healthy plants make healthy food- no pesticides or dangerous chemicals and fertilizers- check them out. They are also seed savers of local varieties that do well in our climate

I worked at the Lush in Macy's, I'm pretty sure it was Christmas of 2009. I loved that store. A bit young/didn't live in the city at the time to remember Kaufmann's.
Things change, but I will always love that clock. Better to save the historic building and the memories than have a gaping hole or another expensive parking lot that doesn't do much else.
Just my thoughts. Maybe I'm getting old.

If you’re comfortable with it and have a good mechanic, Facebook marketplace is always good if you have your mechanic check it out

It was kind of a pain because it's a bit of a drive, but I had a great experience with Delaney (specifically Delaney Subaru) in Indiana when I bought a CPO from them. I bought it in 2017, though, so things may have changed! I suppose the used car market is a bit different now than it was back then.

Now you are assuming that I have lost my mind too? You should really learn how to talk to people. Have a nice day!

I second this. Become friendly with the folks who work there, and let them know what you're looking for. They will call you first if a used vehicle matching your needs and budget comes in
