I’m at a loss, this plant is giving me gray hairs.
She’s started doing much better then out of nowhere yesterday I find a leaf like this
What is this
If the leaves are slightly squishy but the tips are drying up is she over or under watered.
On my big one I dig my hand in as far as I can and the soil is dry dry for the first like 2/3 of the pot and then I can’t really tell if the rest is wet or just cold.
She’s in half Cactus mix and half perlite so I don’t think it’s the soil I think it’s me haha
First photos are what’s growing in the yard. I thought it was something from me spilling some seeds but it looks nothing like any plants I own.
The last photo is something that started growing in a failed fittonia propagation
I’m in Eastern Kansas USA
TW: death
I don’t know where to post maybe someone can suggest a better subreddit. I just know others can relate but I don’t know where to start
I lost a friend two years ago. I thought we were very close for 3 years. Turns out we weren’t. We worked together and while we were close at first (and actually were) I was the “victim” of some pretty severe workplace abuse. My boss turned a group of people I worked with and loved (my field is more than a bit toxic and coworkers can be as close as family) against me. Turns out people I’d chop off a limb for were all talking behind my back, making fun of me, making fun of my health conditions, and were just bullying me for a very long time. My boss was the ringleader.
This person was the one who hurt me the most after finding out the truth. Others I wasn’t as close too or I knew where they’re loyalties lied but I thought this person was my BEST friend. We tried to repair the friendship but it just wasn’t in the cards. Honestly they didn’t care about fixing things, I was just an after thought. There’s so much more context and backstory I’m skipping but trying to summarize best I can. I ended up blocking them two years ago. Recently I found out they passed away. They weren’t even 30 years old.
I already grieved the death of the friendship. But this is so much more complicated. I’ve had friendship deaths and I can pretend they don’t exist anymore: but all of those people are still alive. And now they are not. I keep seeing posts about them. I have so many conflicted feelings. I can’t talk to anyone who knows both of us about it. It just is so hard. Anyone who I know who also knows them I have to either ignore (they were part of the abuse) or pretend like we didn’t become enemies and they didn’t become an abuser (people who we both knew who didn’t know what happened)
Sorry about typos and run on sentences. It’s late for me and I’ve just been spiraling for awhile.
Just seeing opinions on how she’s doing.
Photo 1: today (recently moved her outside and slowly from the porch to out further)
Photo 2: where she was inside a few months ago (and for the winter) had a grow light but she still leaned toward the window
Photo 3: how she looked by the end of summer/early fall last year
Photo 4: how she looked when I first got her in spring of last year
I know the leaning but are we looking good other than that?
I just lost my heart dog and while I’m not ready to actually add a new family member yet it’s a nice distraction to look into possibilities (and helpful for me in the future!)
Are silkens more aloof or Velcro?
My girl was a pom and an adult when I got her. She was able to be home alone but when I was home she was attached at my hip and preferred to be with me over my husband. She’d watch over me while I was in the shower even (I called her my little shower guardian) I miss having a little shadow. We have a husky and a cat so I was wondering what adding a silken would look like.
The husky is very affectionate but isn’t my little shadow like my pom was. She’s more like an aloof house cat and goes wherever she feels (which is great for her!) she is very calm for her breed and acts more like how I’ve seen silkens described (quick bursts of energy and then wanting to veg out for awhile) so I think one could be a good fit for her but would it be for me? Or should I stick to my lap dogs
Hi! First time growing much of anything. I know I’ve seen sometimes radishes will come out skinny. I was wondering if these are going to get any bigger or if I just cut my losses. I believe I planted them around April 24th
Thanks!
I accepted long ago it’s a fake. I didn’t know how notorious they were for being scams, my ding dong self did zero research before buying it. I did have a few people on Facebook say there’s a very small possibility some of it could be real. I have a much better phone camera now than I did when I got it.
Hi!
I’m new (ish) to crochet and this is my first mosaic. It’s the KashmirKahwaTea Blanket from Hobbii. I don’t like that on the corners where I start each round I can’t seem to always hide the orange color underneath the blue.
When I started the blanket I did a magic ring with 8 sc, slip stitch into the first stitch and then started the next round in that same stitch. (Which were the first corners)
Then I joined with a slip stitch, into the first sitch (not the previous slip), switch colors and then and it said to start each corner on the chains so I’d start on the first chain of the previous corner.
I also don’t know why my corners are so “holey” when the example photo shows it much tighter together.
The orange peeping through is much more visible in person than the photo
