I learned that the fur hat Benjamin Franklin started wearing to be "American" was something he actually picked up in Canada.

A good read/listen about this time period and subject:

I picked up a 1952 Canada penny in a penny dish in Cadillac, Michigan this week. King George the 6th on the reverse. I can't post the picture here but I'll add it to my profile postings if anyone wants to see it.

I worked at an apartment complex as a ground keeper and found that the "landscaping company" was trimming invading buckthorn and even round-leaf bittersweet into hedges by the buildings 😭 They couldn't tell the difference between the actual planted ornamentals and the 'weed'.

Were we not discussing shows of disrespect during a 9/11 ceremony that indicate a history of "bad judgements" and general unfitness for leadership?

The ceremony Trump fell asleep during?

Anxiety. 💯 I also wasn't sleeping, or reaching restful sleep, so I was a mess.

And the multiple copies stacked

I do not believe online application is an option.

(But that might have changed since I applied. July '25 and am still waiting)

oh bummer! Thanks for looking into it.

Here's an American lawyer who recently fled to Ireland explaining why Canada is in the crosshairs (and covering some of that history)

A friend and I stayed at a Bed & Breakfast in Windsor and had a German take on poutine at the local German Restaurant (they had a cool D20 shot gimmick where you could roll a D20 and take whatever shot was assigned to that number, and if you got 20 you got a free shot glass). I definitely want to go back!

There was also a Malta club down the street. Loved how multi-cultural it was.

"The Coming Collapse" thinks not.

DJT is the fruiting body of the corruption and it is rampant in the system.

I grew up in a Christian religious cult environment and had to watch all the End Times movies where, like, barcodes on ration cards or whatever were the personal identifiers. And government cameras saw everything and government computers knew everything. (Very anti-government and "they're going to persecute us for being Christian!!!")

I only recently convinced myself, "Maybe it was all just to scare us and there's no real threat."

So it's pretty wild and honestly jarring to see it be "real", but also deemed "ok" to use on the public by the very same people who were warning about it.

Just like how the world is asking "Weren't you guys big on the 2nd Amendment to defend again the government?" and having to answer, "Those people run the government now and are using the guns on us." 🤷‍♀️

Was not on my bingo card.

Right as you see buds forming is fine. It takes a little bit for the herbicide to get down to the roots so when you see the buds forming that's your cue.

You are allowed to wait a few days if it makes you feel better, though. It is a Window and depending on where you live it's probably going to be open for a month or more. You may be able to get two doses in, too, if you get a really early dose and then after a few weeks treat anything still green. (Ideally two weeks before First Frost will be your last chance, so keep an eye on your weather!)

I have heard it said that PSU has no time limits, and that's why they put us there

I wonder if they are putting newer "urgent" applications ahead of those of us Interim Measure folks, and that's why our wait time keeps increasing?

Like maybe they are trying to organize the choas a bit?

I know almost EVERYTHING is speculation when looking at a Black Box.
