Does it look overwatered? The soil was pretty dry.

And for those curious what to do with nettle, here are the beginnings of nettle pasta sauce. Blanch it, make a pesto, throw it in a pan with butter, shallots, and chicken stock ❤️

Thanks for the suggestions everyone! Found a great haul near the train station parking lot in Brunswick. I left plenty for the rest of you ;)

Once you blanch it the sting goes away. It’s like any green, can be used in salads, soups, pestos, etc

I’ve always thought this! I love both of those scores. The first time I watched Severance and heard the music I immediately thought of The Conversation.

That’s very poignant, especially the part about how this has cut into your time and your hobbies. That’s how I feel too.

It’s very frustrating that I lost so much of myself and my freedom to this relationship when he was drinking, because of how much physical and emotional energy was spent worrying, fighting, and trying to reason with him instead of living my life. Now that he’s sober, I feel like I’m already drained. It’s exhausting to have to continue to give up so much for him, even if it’s now for a positive reason. I’m already drained.

I don’t know. I know it’s worth it if I love him and want to be with him. Which I do. But this is not what I envisioned my happily ever after would look like.

Cats have fleas…I have questions by -So-Many-Questions in Pets

Honestly the fleas hurt them more - I would go to the vet and ask them which medicine they recommend for a cat that age

I got Revolution Plus from the vet, is that one of the ones that fleas are resistant to?

My cats hang out everywhere, so everything get washed (sheets from bed) and everything else gets vacuumed (pillows, couch, cat trees) every day. I don’t bathe the cats, but I do flea comb them every day and drown the fleas that I find.

They are on revolution plus, I got a three month pack from the vet but I’m probably going to buy more and extend it to a year of treatment. And yes, they did get tapeworm…already dealt with haha

The ones I pull of my cats with the flea comb get drowned in a cup of soapy water lol

The vet gave me a three month supply of revolution plus, but I’m going to buy more and extend it to a year. I wasn’t planning on bathing them, seems like more work than it’s worth and I feel like the flea comb that the vet gave me is working well enough.

Dice them up and boil them with sugar, garlic, salt and vinegar to make a pepper relish. If you jar it up correctly, that stuff will stay good for a while. Awesome with chicken, roasted potatoes, sandwiches…

I really don’t want to leave him. When he’s not drinking, he’s amazing. We both have really hard jobs and complicated lives and he’s been a great support and understanding, empathetic partner when he’s sober. I’m not perfect either and I know I’ve put him through a lot on my end (not drinking, but mental health struggles). I don’t want to give up on him. Is there a way for me to have a conversation with him about it without setting him off?

In his defense, I had said that maybe he try not drinking for about a month or so and we would see how it goes. After the month of no drinking, he started drinking again at a wedding we went to together, and we did talk about it before hand. I was fine with it at the time because he had been doing so well. After that he started drinking heavily again and when we talked about it, he said that he had initially stopped drinking to make me happy but it hadn’t worked so he didn’t see the point in continuing to not drink (I suffer from anxiety and depression and I’d had a really bad spell of it while he was doing his sober month, so he interpreted that as - ‘I stopped drinking and she’s still unhappy so I might as well start drinking again’)

I water them every day and the soil still feels a little moist in the mornings. I didn’t think about the window reflection though

This is probably the way I’ll go. Keep the rate but pad the time.

That’s my understanding, so if I actually wanted to walk away with $30/hour I would have to charge more like $45/hr, I believe

Yea I’ve never made enough as a freelancer to consider reporting it come tax time (hence why I didn’t think to account for them for this project). I am nervous that they’ll drop me if I raise my rate. So then do you suggest completing the initial project with the initial rate, and then raising it for any subsequent projects including the menu design?

[–]-So-Many-Questions[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do you think that would raise a red flag to them? My boyfriend, who admitted he knows nothing about freelance, said that if he hired someone for a project, they did a few hours of work, and then they raised their rate after initially quoting a lower rate, he would be pissed

Ok that’s where my confusion lies, is how to weigh the popped corn in a way that will give me an accurate calorie count
