Welcome to the Volunteer State.
Easiest way to blend in.... Never ever say: This is the way we did it in .......
I know "the way we did it in...." was fucking retarded, and why I've been in self-exodus from that place trying to find my land of milk 🥛 and honey 🍯. Time for "home." I can't wait for us to immerse ourselves in the community and just be home. Living in a travel trailer/5th wheel while the house is being built, etc.

In a completely unrelated note:

Muscadine?
No. Not grapes. Not Muscadine. Not edible. Those little fuckers actually grow here in CO and survive the winters, which muscadine grapes do not. I don't remebr what it's called though. 99% it's poisonous though.

Back in the 80’s on 60 Minutes they were interviewing “prepers”. The reporter asked one of them why they needed an AR 15? The guy said: if I’m hungry and someone has a loaf of bread and wants to trade me for my AR, I’ll walk away with my AR and the loaf of bread after I’m done.
🤣🤣🤣👍👍👍

The face is usually the second or third thing I look at.
I’m not interested in dissecting the photo one way or the other, it may be AI, but I think a lot of you guys can’t tell the difference between AI and post processing of images (I.e., photoshop) that happens to about 90% of the thot images on the www. That has been going on for decades, and it replaced what used to happen in the darkroom .

Hate to break it to you but there has never been a world captured on film that looked like the one that Ansel Adams created on his prints. Go look up some of his darkroom techniques.

You are absolutely correct. I didn’t even look at the leaves. I snapped the picture while walking the dog and never looked closely. That’s Woodbine and the berries are toxic.

Oooops! 🤪

In my defense (okay there isn’t any) the muscadine grape clusters look just like that.
 

I worked at a well known and now a controversial dealer in the early 90’s.

Everyone would always ask “why are you spending you money on guns and girls”

Then the LA Triathlon (riots) started and everyone would ask “hey can I borrow a gun?”

No. Go sit in your racecar and make race car noises if they end up in your hood 🖕

This reminds me - I’m giving serious consideration to planting a couple fruit bearing mulberry trees. Anyone have one? Trying to figure out of there is anything special I need to do when I put them into the ground to give them a solid start. Probably going to get some that are 5’ tall.

I love mulberry trees. We had them in the Chicago area and we have them in the Tampa area.
Don't plant them where they will grow over the concrete, the falling berries stain and don't plant where you park cars, the birds love them and will shit all over your car.
Where are you at.
No special needs, just don't break up the root ball, dont plant too deep and water for at least the first 30 days

As correct as you may be, but when a picture shows hair from an eye socket or extra fingers or a third hand, it sorta breaks the immersion.

Yeah, but a smart prosecutor can "rebut" the LEO's self-defense claim by demonstrating "evil intent" by all the threats to kill the assailant ("I TOLD YOU I'D KILL YOU!"), etc. etc. I'd expect charges to be filed. Ya gotta be careful what you say when firing!
IIRC she's a cop. So if she is. There's different rules for the King's men

They are going to be far away from anything in an area where I’m not worried about the fruit dispersal or roots, which can a be real problem. I’m wanting the fruit specifically so I’m thinking about the native varieties due to the hardiness factor. Zone 8 with sandy loam, so holding water and nutrients is the big thing I am concerned about.

We have mature ones. They makes lots of fruit but it's tough to get out of a 50ft tree. It does not store well so it needs preserved. I pull up about 2000 mulberry trees per year. 🤣🤣

Younger tree is better. The longer it's been In a pot the worse. Don't add things to the transplant hole. If you are in clay soil consider a "high planting" method. Plant in a square hole to help alleviate the roots swirling in the hole like it's a pot and not populating the surrounding soil. Adding things to the planting hole can have this same effect.
