This is a longshot but, hey I'm your local elderberry nut job! I love them, the flowers, the berries, the fact they're native to the area and that birds and other native animals need them to thrive. They're great in almost every yard, field, treeline, and will quickly reseed and take over an ugly area and give you a functioning food forest in a fairly short amount of time, think 3-5 years. So, I will be taking about 100 cuttings and planting them next year, but want to get ahead of that and just ask if anyone wants them. It's free, seriously, I just need a place to plant them. Preferably in West Alabama, near the Tuscaloosa - Birmingham area would be best but I don't mind a short drive.

EDIT: everyone has been added to the list. Come back next February and we'll work the logistics out

So, I've never posted here before. I work for a fortune 500 company and going on 4 years now, I have done the absolute bare minimum. Somehow, since I'm just a happy person at work (likely due to how little I'm doing as often as possible), I'm looked at as energetic and positive, promoting a can-do attitude.

No one, I mean not one single peer, manager, or coworker of any type has ever seen me as falling short of the mark. Our client fucking loves me. I solve their problems in only the easiest and most convenient way FOR ME and they eat it up.

I got a raise and a promotion, which I accepted because I'm pretty sure it will come with even less expectation and, if it isn't the right gig, I can fall right back into my current slot.

I have no college degree, but make up for it in invaluable experience in the field, which is where I worked when I started for this company, performing an array of technical contracting tasks for years until I put the tools up and got into the office.

It's nice to know that, no matter how poor my work ethic is, everyone around me is just fucking dumb or lazy, so I look super motivated when, really, I'm listening to audiobooks and learning new skills on the company dime.

Hey guys, first time fishing in the area and I'm looking for charters. As far as prices and reviews go, I'm really left scratching my head to find any kind of reason to pick one charter over another. Can any locals or seasoned Banff fishermen give me any guidance? I would really appreciate it, got a decent sized group really wanting to catch some trout this August. Probably going to just pull the trigger on a charter sometime this week.

I'm looking for any stories that contain whimsical characters that just caper about with songs and unbridled and misunderstood power; characters who have that knowing flicker behind their eyes that just eludes the reader while being somehow understood, like a handshake. Such characters seem humble and approachable while also larger than life, and I'd like to find more. For some reason, I have a tip-of-my-tongue feeling and can't place a similar character I know I've read about.

I've suffered with dream state hallucinations and sleep paralysis most of my life. I'm very numbed out to these startling events and after a moment, I can usually go right back to sleep. However, in recent weeks, I've noticed that I still hear things even after I'm awake.

My bedroom closet, three different doors, have all started cracking open. Also, my chest-of-drawers have little loose flip handles, and they move at night now, too. My house creaks and pops seasonally as the temps change outside, so I'm used to that, but these new sounds are freaking me out. I've gotten up and turned on the lights and they stop. No rodent droppings or signs anywhere, I keep my air conditioner fan 'on' all night so I have constant positive pressure, so I don't think it's draft related.

They never start until about 2 a.m. It's really starting to impact my sleep. I've woken up to funny sounding high pitched voices a few times and I've just attributed that to my sleep paralysis/dream state history, but they're distinct and new, and I can't help but wonder if they're related to the other new noises. Usually they speak gibberish for a few seconds after I wake up, then immediately stop. But the chest-of-drawers handles keep jingling sporadically and doors crack, among other odd sounding shifting noises among my things, even after I'm awake.

Again, I'll hop out of bed and investigate and it goes away until I'm asleep again, but it either wakes me up again or, the next night, same thing. Does anyone think this justifies leaving a camera out? Is it some kinda Brownie thing? I don't know what I even believe in but it's killing my sleep and I'll take any advice I can get.
