I used them for my appeal and they were great. The staff is super patient, which is a big deal when you're stressed out and in pain. They explained the whole appeals process clearly so I actually understood what was happening.

Watched my friend try that vinegar trick on her hydrangeas last year. She got all excited when they stood up straight again right after. But then the soil went kinda crusty and the leaves turned pale yellow. I mean, she ended up having to change out all the dirt because it got too acidic. The plant stayed weak and never looked right again. Idk, maybe it's a quick fix but it can cause problems later.

Totally get that. The bank lock down feeling is because the stakes are higher now. Back then it was personal space, now it's about keeping whole communities safe from real world harm.
