Eat N Parks days are numbered imo. Not just bc of this but their demographic is slowly but surely dying off in addition to cost cutting moves like removing their staples.

Don’t be surprised when it’s just a smiley cookie manufacturing company in a decade.

No promises, but Ikea might. They have a small live plant section between the showroom and the stock warehouse in the location in Robinson. I had a different type of palm that I got there which was healthy and did really well in my apartment. If memory serves, they also had something that looked just like this type you're seeking.

The air is poisoned, but not by the train derailment. Republicans defanging the EPA have allowed US Steel and Shell to pump our skies full of pollution with no consequence.

We're up river so the water has NOT been contaminated by the train derailment...and the air's cleaner than 50 years ago and not polluted by the train derailment...You're safe, as long as you don't pass in the tunnels or wear a Cleveland Browns jersey...

So If you distill your own water or buy certain types of distilled water like just “steam distilled” the end product is very pure water. (Some brands add stuff back in after the process usually branded as re-mineralized) So it has no minerals in it. Drinking large quantities of pure distilled water without adding some sort of electrolytes back will in theory pull those healthy minerals out of your body. Think of it as a magnet for all the stuff that got pulled out of it when it was distilled.

It’s not unsafe per say you just need to be aware of it and if you choose to do it yourself or buy it without minerals I would recommend buying some sort of electrolytes to add to it. I personally use LMNT flavored salt packets most days, or Keto Chow (not flavored) off Amazon
