Great Christmas gift for any gardener

Do you have someone in your family who loves gardening? Here's a cool gift idea I came across. Bonus points if they watch the TV show Alone because it was created by Nicole who's been on the show twice (if you haven't seen the show you should give it a try, it's an interesting concept).

It's a gardening kit with seeds for 10 different plants that can be used to make various herbal remedies. It also comes with a book written by Nicole where she goes over everything you can make with the plants from ointments and teas all the way to essential oils and infusions. It's not something you'd find in a normal store so it makes for a unique gift especially if the person you're buying it for is a fan of natural remedies.

I ordered a kit for my Mom's birthday earlier in the year and she was a massive fan of it. She now makes her grandkids sleepy tea before bed whenever they sleep over and always offers us some substance she makes from the feverfew if we complain about a headache. I think she's probably made every recipe in the book and it's only been 9 months.

Here's the link to the website if you want to check it out: https://medicinalkit.com/

Right to Refuse Service

Quick question:

What are the rules here in this town?

I’m opening a storefront and I do not want any hatred or political shenanigans in my place of business.

If someone isn’t being physically harmful but they are berating other customers or causing a disruption, do I have the right to refuse service to anyone?

Does anyone have the local statute I can post in reference to this? TIA!

Protests in the Area?

To anyone who attends protests in the general wausau area, how do you find out about them? I usually don't hear anything about them until I just spot one on the side of a road one day and I can't just join a protest on a whim :/ I've done a descent amount of research and I haven't been able to find any sort of online forum or anything where these protests would be advertised beforehand. Is there some sort of website or Facebook group or like a bulletin board at the city hall or something that I can keep an eye on?

Wausau Dodgeball

Does Wausau have a dodgeball group? Granite Peak and curling don't interest me, but I need to find a winter past-time to stay sane.

Health Provider recommendation for high deductible plan?

New to the area and family has a BCBS high deductible health plan. Made an appt locally but where told $350 will be cash cost of visit (they also asked that we pay half in advance. No way).

Any provider offices that are cash friendly or you've had good experiences with using a high deductible health plan? We're a healthy family. High deductible insurance option was recommended by our financial advisor as we don't use much healthcare each year. But whoa nelly, $350 for a visit.

Daughter has a minor rash to check. Wife needs prescription renewal on migraine med. That sort of thing. Thanks

landlord refusing to fix ceiling

my boyfriend rents a small apartment in wausau and has had a serious ceiling issue for the past 4 months. it leaks every single time it rains, whether it be a storm or just sprinkling. the floor literally floods and his entire apartment smells of mold. he has contacted his landlord about this multiple times and all he says is that it’s fixed already. he’s moving out at the end of this month and his landlord is blowing up his phone about paying rent. what should he do? does he really have to pay rent if the landlord repeatedly refuses to fix his leaking ceiling? i’m almost certain his allergies have been flaring up due to the mold too. it’s just blatantly unsafe

Anyone ever live in a haunted house in wausau?

My wife and i rented a house on jackson street almost 3 years ago now. We both had the same dreams of a woman in a old night gown with long black hair covering her face ( like the ring ) walking towards us and then we’d wake up in a panic. Other things like our toaster would pop all the time, our dryer had started by itself once. I was taking a shit one morning n the towel literally got hit in front of me. We had a yoga ball and one day randomly my wife and i both saw the ball get pushed across our living room. We always had a weird feeling in the one room we used as an office. It had a door leading to the attic and we never went up there especially with the vibes it threw off. Another night we had some friends over n had done some mushrooms. My friends girlfriend swore she saw the same woman in the reflection in one of the windows. She hadn’t known our experiences with us seeing her in our dreams or anything that had happened in the house so it really freaked her out when we were like oh yea you probably actually did see her. Haha we had a lot of great memories in that house and the ghost was never malicious but i’m also very happy to not have to deal with all that anymore haha reading about how wausau used to be a big logging town i can imagine a lot homes have some history.

Apple orchard near Wausau

I know it’s getting late in the season. Curious where people usually for Apple orchard nearby? I know there is Helene’s in Merrill, Casey’s in Stevens Point. I haven’t been to Rock Ridge west of town or the one in Antigo. How are those two, and are there any other options nearby? Thanks so much

Right now I’m particularly looking to have my motor walnut blasted (2010 BMW 135i). Am I stuck going to Appleton or Madison?

Anyone have any recommendations? I’ve been using Walgreens’s for a long time but they seem constantly short staffed, not receiving faxed prescriptions etc. TIA
