Opportunities (health, garden, fina, us)

I just bought from Old House Gardens' end of season sale - https://oldhousegardens.com/ - edible flowers (and vegetable parts) for the garden plot.

Rosalind is a selection of the the H fulva var rosa daylily. I doubt it will be much more red than the double selection "Kwanzo" but i fantasize about having the different colors in salads.

And then i bought two dahlias: Thomas Edison, known to have tasty tubers, and Wisconsin Red (dated from 1910). I'm hoping Wisconsin red, being a less manipulated plant, might have tasty tubers, too.

Christine had an investment opportunity to discuss yesterday. I asked not about the target itself but how the investment would be handled. She was excited about the opportunity and my questions made her prickle a little. I felt mean for poking at the detail, but id led her to research the third party and it became clear that what one was doing was paying into a pool at party A that would invest in party B. Which is the only way i can think of this really working, and my question was how trustworthy was party A. But it was enough for Christine that party A was involved. I thought party A looked like they had a reasonable track record of existence and might not close up, but the site for the FAQ had a bad TLS certificate and my browser wouldn't let me reach it -- so side eye. We passed on this investment.

I can't stand the feeling in my chest so i am coughing and clearing my throat.

I had a cold last week with lots of drainage. I have been trying to follow the ENT's advice not to clear my throat or let myself cough but unfortunately went on a walk near a fire on Sunday and the lung irritation is setting in.

I ate cough drops yesterday. Is there a cough suppressant that is OK with wellbutrin? I find cough suppressants creepy and have avoided them for decades. Perhaps they won't leave me feeling weird now. My message to my primary care provider (hopefully after a cut).

Perhaps they won't leave me feeling weird now. I'm nasal rinsing 2x a day, have a humidifier on the CPAP, trying to breathe through my nose, drink lots of fluids. I really dread the exhaustion that comes on with the cough. The meeting with the ENT was not very satisfactory. (I think many folks must now have chronic coughs, and she didn't seem very interested in considering one that had been misdiagnosed for 18 years a s cough variant asthma.) Can we consider a course of steroids to beat it back EARLY  if it sets in and not wait to see if it clears up after six weeks on its own? THANKS [me]

I wish you so well with that tenacious cough / throat irritation!

Good on you taking on the task of querying that investment opportunity.

I have gotten to assume scam until proven otherwise when dealing with businesses etc. Christine, who finds trust in others so hard, is surprisingly willing to take some things face value.

Ah! A hummingbird just checked out the miniature roses on the deck railing. Are there hummers in England?

[amaebi]

Tragically, there are no hummingbirds in England.

investing is so complicated sometimes, I'm glad you found stuff that made you question the validity before it bit you in the butt

and I hope you feel better, dealing with drs sucks sometimes, it always leaves me feeling like I'm a non-entity and it's discouraging
