Requests from Ginny Branch

Our beloved Mulberry tree has to get cut down because it is past a 45 degree angle 💔 I love this tree and was wondering could I propagate it? I just don’t want to say goodbye 🥺

Recs for Thanksgiving Day in NYC that are family-friendly and unexpected? We’ll be there Tuesday-Friday and want some fun things to do on our last day when most things will close. We’ll have the parade and dinner sorted, but a decent few hours in between!

Where my 3 am clubbers at? I wake up between 3-4 am every day for years and am up and attem. I have tried reading/sleep podcasts/ASMR/avoiding my phone but I can’t seem to fall back asleep and I am my most productive 3-12 pm which is not an ideal timeframe 😂 By the time it’s 8 pm I’m crawling to bed but if anyone has any tricks to fall back asleep I am all ears!

Looking for some weight-lifting places to start to increase the ole bone density. Any at home recs? PS I loathe the protein/ lift heavy stage of life I’m supposed to be in when I’m meant to be a carbie barbie who just goes on mental health walks 😂

Favorite back-to-school traditions? A friend we know does “King for a Day” with her sons, basically a “Say Yes” day the Friday before school starts!

Hey Rec League peeps! Looking for more funny audiobooks ideally by humorist essayists (David Sedaris, Samantha Irby, Cazzie David, Jessi Klein are my faves). Any recs would be so appreciated! 📚 Update: THANK 👏 YOU 👏 EVERYONE 👏 I am so pumped to do these to my audiobook queue!! Y’all are the BEST!

Looking for Brevard/Asheville/Highlands NC recs? Dropping our daughter off at camp and then looking to find somewhere cute for lunch or coffee/great bookstore/pretty walks?

Is someone able to help me navigate the Notes App? It’s fandom impresses me but I can’t figure out how to use it other than basic lists? What’s the secret I’m missing?

Wanting to plan a family trip to Costa Rica with multiple families. Suggestions for where to stay, food recs for picky “kids menu” eaters, and any sort of things to do that are good for younger kids/kids that might whine on a hike but could handle a zip line 😂 Thanks Rec League peeps!

Any unexpected fun road trip entertainment ideas for an 8 year old gal? Packed drawing supplies and some Klutz books and she’ll read but does get carsick usually at some point and we’re fine with letting her get bored but always love ideas!

Best no show socks to wear with sneakers? I can never ever find a pair that stays up and doesn’t lose its shape after a few wears!

Niche request but does anyone have any estate sale etiquette tips? Or the most efficient transport system (basket/box/ large tote) for hauling items around while you shop? A Hulken seems unwieldy… maybe those collapsible crates?

Can anyone recommend some hiking shoes that are comfortable and relatively attractive?

Recommendations for espresso cups that are compatible with the Gemini Express. Must be a maximum 2.25” high but preferably shorter to be safe.
