I read a report that suggests longer grass encourages small mammals to set up breeding areas and that mow in June kills them. Animals like shrews, hedgehogs, harvest mice, they’re all being mowed up.
By mowing normally and leaving the hedgerows intact we allow animals to choose safe nesting spots.
I’m always surprised by governments who keep the same leader for a long time. In the UK we got 3 in a year once, none of them do a full term, or not for a long while.
I’m getting paywalled and can’t be bothered getting around it but I’ve read a lot about this from the researchers who study it, it’s quite interesting. Is it possible that cells can have memory? Of course. Could energy persist beyond the physical? Sure.
I wouldn’t call myself a believer but I’m definitely a curious observer.

I used to work with a blind guy, when everyone else did sex ed at school they used to put him in a seperate room to do worksheets as they assumed he wouldn’t need it.
She tried calling the dog, then used an electric collar, and NOTHING worked?? Those are two things that are known not to work, she hasnt even made a tiny attempt to train the dog, then got annoyed when a hunting dog, specifically a bird dog, wasn’t safe around birds.
So what you’re telling me is she’s incredibly stupid as well as evil?
I got into pizza dough over covid. I currently have three different 00 flours. It’s really fun to try different things though, how long you do each thing, how much of what goes in, pizza stones, baking trays, etc. I’m not at my perfect pizza yet but definitely like what I’m making.
I was speaking to a guy that looks after an ancient forest and he was explaining the fungi that allow the trees to communicate and it was fascinating but I thought he might be pulling my leg, so I came home and read everything, it’s fascinating.
The Woodland Trust have staff that mind them. I’m not sure what this guys job title was but probably a conservation officer or similar? He was helping us with something about the oldest trees in the UK.
I’m concerned how much the focus is on being a burden to others. If someone wants to die then fair enough, but if they die for the benefit of others that isn’t a free choice.
Please be kind with me as I am new to this platform. I was at a club when a very handsome guy, totally my type, started dancing with me. I don’t know what gave me the courage to take the half finished beer from his hand and take a sip of it without asking. I then gave his beer back to him, and he said he had to go but will be...
I think you’re reading way too far into a playful action.
Also, buying someone a drink does not make them obligated to sleep with you, but that’s not relevant to the story because nobody bought anyone anything.
They didn’t ask that at all, they asked if they were in the wrong.
Your opinion that it may have suggested a lady might be willing to be bought a drink but shockingly would not sleep with the man indeed suggests an obligation that doesn’t exist.
You use the phrase “burned by taking advantage” again suggests an obligation.
To clarify, yet again, the girls who would pull this trick would act as if they were interested in the guy that they chose, and were interested in sleeping with them. They were not interested in sleeping with them, they just wanted free drinks. The guys would find out at the end of the night that these girls were pretending to be interested just to get drinks, and would be annoyed that they had been tricked. At no point did anyone owe anything to anyone else.
A guy who had been tricked like this in the past might avoid anyone that he thinks might be trying it in the future.
Read this through again. Think about what you’re saying. To suggest it’s a ‘trick’ to accept a gift that’s offered without offering your own self as a reward. If you truly believe that women don’t owe men sex if they buy them a drink then why are you talking about it as if they’re not holding up their end of the bargain?
You can see that it’s an even shape, and clearly cared for, but it has a massive canopy vs trunk. It’s not the same species but it’s an example of the balance.
This video is quite a severe prune and you can see that he hasn’t really taken a lot.
Leave it alone for now and then go for it in early spring.
However, if it’s so heavily pruned because you’re just taking off dead bits then it’s not a very healthy tree and I’d look at that first. I definitely water mine in the height of summer, which is an easy change to make, but it might need more.
Next year. It’s already flowering so it’s too late for this year. It will vary depending on where you are but I’d say maybe late feb?
I think you might be right that it isn’t in great health but I do think the overpruning is part of it. There just won’t be enough leaves to support that big thick trunk. I think adding nutrients might really help but I don’t want to recommend any as it’s not something I’ve had to do myself.
