They are stunning, and we're the last thing to die last year. Once they get going, they are fantastic. Be sure to pinch the tops off the young plants to get even more growth as well

It was surprisingly easy and pain-free for me, I didn't do anything special other than dig them up and throw the clumps in a storage bin full of vermiculite in my basement. The only hard part is dividing them because I had no idea what I was doing this year. It would much less work of anyone who lived somewhere warmer, but I am in Alberta, and it's too cold to overwinter them

I would do my current job for free with people who need it but couldn't afford it (massage) think seniors, sick, disabled ect. Also, spend time working with animal rescue/shelters in some way

Dahlias, this is my second year growing them, and I have expanded my collection this year with some beauties. I swear they are addictive!

I keep wondering this, too. I am sure it doesn't help that those on the far right seem to demonize mental health help and showing weekness/needing any help. Besides the general crazy conspiracies and tendency to blame the government/others for what they see as wrong in society

RhinoShield has been all I will ever order for the last, maybe 10 years or at least as long as I can remember. Dropped numerous times on cement or other floors with no issues

Try to limit how much news/social media I consume, especially the really dark stuff. Then I spend a lot of time finding good things that I love watching (cute animals, reno videos ect). It's a lot of self-preservation because a ton of news is super depressing and rage inducing, keeping a balance between not being totally ignorant but not wanting to ruin my mental health is key

This reminds me of when some idiot gets their hands on a thesaurus. Then, they try to swap out words randomly to make themselves seem smarter, and instead, it comes out total gibberish. Joey from friends comes to mind

Please go back to whatever alternate dimension you came from. Or maybe a hospital for medical treatment of your delusions

If you are really interested, Cecelia Blomdhal (spelling may be slightly off) is a youtuber who lives there and shares all kinds of interesting stuff and gorgeous scenery. You can visit without having to brave the cold and polar bears that way

I follow a youtuber who lives there, and Svalbard is really pricey. Food and anything else consumer goods wise as anything has to be flown in or paid to ship via freight ship. Also, housing is extremely limited, and it's hard to find without a job already secured, which may or may not be easy to get depending on who is looking
