This summer, as Illinois opens up without COVID-19 restrictions, more people are using the GetMyBoat app — which connects customers directly with charter captains for quality time on the water in a wide range of watercraft.

Dear Upset: You don’t mention what business this gift card was for, or how you define “sex shop,” but yes — any gift card for any business even loosely affiliated with a sex shop (including a gift card for lingerie) would be completely inappropriate and outrageous as any kind of professional bonus.

The damage typically consists of two to four cupped leaves that are tied together with silk and may occur in a few spots on an individual plant. I have been seeing hydrangeas with two to five of these cupped leaf groups, though you can have more in some situations.
