Dumb question about acorns
Comments (2)Are you observing the male catkins or the female structure? I ask because the pistillate flowers are tiny and unknown to most. Anyway, if oak is too young, the female flowers won't fully form or the ovaries will abort fertilized eggs. Sexually mature oaks will bear as only as many acorns as the tree can physiologically support and will abort the excess....See MoreReally dumb question about Phildendron Brasil

Comments (6)I agree: probably from years of wear and tear. I will never own a blender with a plastic carafe. I don't know why, but every one I've ever owned is glass. I shouldn't say "every one" because in 40 years I've owned exactly 2 and that's because I broke the carafe on the first one when I dropped it.... ;) Yeah, plastic is better in those cases. But most brands do have replacement parts. Look your up and you'll probably find a new one....See MoreDumb question about gift cards.
Comments (45)Oh sorry - I went off in a different direction. I'm not a big fan of gift cards in general, especially ones that tie you into one specific restaurant or store. I've had a few bad experiences where the cards went unused - in one instance the restaurant closed unexpectedly and I still have one for the Rittenhouse Spa that DH gave me the Christmas before Covid. I can still use it but just haven't felt inclined to book it. Now that the kids are older we've tried to simplify things. They own their own homes and two have children. They have repeatedly commented that they don't need stuff. I don't have a problem with giving them money and we give them checks on Christmas and their birthdays and it is definitely what they want and can use. A few years ago one of the kids set up Elfster- an online gift exchange that his wife uses with her large, extended family. It resembles a Pollyanna - you're matched up with one other family member, a price limit is set and each participant has to suggest things that they would like to receive and they can even include a link to the actual item. This is the third year and it's worked out well and is helpful in eliminating the 'stuff' factor....See MoreBumblebeez SC Zone 7
