    New Friend here

    What’s up, everyone? I just got my invite, and I’m already feeling the vibe—your mission is fresh and real. Thanks for pulling me into the fold! So, a little about me: I’m 41, twice divorced, single dad of two—apparently with a taste for chaos!...

    Attempted Trump Assasination- Was he actually hit by a bullet? (meta commentary: I imagine the future of uptrust will host more conversations of this nature… so let’s see how we navigate it)

    On Saturday, former president Donald Trump was the target of an attempted assassination.

    Two things I want to talk about–

    1. Was Trump actually hit by a bullet? I’m skeptical that a bullet grazed his ear, and think it’s more likely that a piece of shrapnel clipped him. I’m not intending to minimize the fact that someone definitely tried to kill him, but rather I am irritated by his spinning and inflation of the story if there is a truer thing to be said about what happened.

    2. The secret service really fucked up. How on earth do they miss a lone sniper on a roof that many of the bystanders identified before them? I don’t think there is a conspiracy theory here, but do believe someone should probably be fired for their oversight.

    I’d like to hear others’ opinions on this + where your credibility comes from. Name your news source or experience that leads you to believe what you’re sharing.

    Who do you think was responsible for securing that particular roof? (genuine question, not using a provoking tone- i legit don’t know)

    How should I landscape my house? I am working on landscaping the home I bought in October, starting with the front yard due to a couple of issues. First, there is a big dip in the yard that floods every time it rains heavily. Second, the driveway is right in front of my bedroom window, causing headlights to shine into my room when people come and go, and limiting my ability to open the windows due to privacy concerns.

    I’ve hired a permaculture landscaper who is currently working on a design. Meanwhile, I need to decide what to do about the driveway and whether to add a carport.

    I could really use some opinions on the following:

    • How would you deal with the flooding issue?
    • What would you suggest for the driveway or adding a carport? I can move the driveway to the other side of the house or leave it as is.

    I can post photos if there’s a way to do that. I have many ideas also but curious to hear what folks think with this info.

    thanks for this, renee! i spoke with a general contractor today and this was his recommendation also due to some other factors…so seems like the driveway is going to move! Also, fun that you’ve actually seen the house!!...

    Flooding: I am no expert nor experienced (yet!) but the things that pop to mind for me are 1. Put a french drain through your yard, from the low point to somewhere lower?...
