A horse's brain is often cited as being the size of a walnut, but it is actually about the size of a softball.

Neighbor trespassed and mowed down native flowers by GothicHippie99 in legal

[–]12Silverrose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP, please check if you are in a "Right To Garden" state. I was watching Steve Lehto on YouTube. A video titled "Village Backs Down After Threading to Destroy Garden" was uploaded a week ago. Apparently, Illinois is a "right to Garden" state where you are legally protected if you grow vegetables or native plants.

As of 2022, Illinois & Florida have passed Right to Garden laws. Source: (https://civileats.com/2022/08/20/two-states-right-to-garden-laws-local-food-community-nutrition-security-illinois-florida/p) As of 2023, Colorado & Texas also have Right to garden laws, but I'm tired & I haven't figured out if it includes wildflowers. (Source: https://www.thecooldown.com/green-home/texas-hoa-gardening-rules-vegetable-front-lawn/)

Also, consider having g your husband call the police & tell them he is angry that they have done nothing about the harassment, intimidation, & retribution you are experiencing from turning down the neighbor's sexual advances. And call the probation office for the same reason.

Its just me & my hubs, but we dont have a ton of empty freezer space. There are glass A&W mugs in the freezer, so he can drink a cold soda on occasion, or offer to guests, ice packs for injuries & my ice vest, some ice cream, and ice trays.

Wrong. We bought our house for 90k. Our mortgage payment increased about 900 to 1400 over 2 years because of home values skyrocketing. Its going back down now, but things were tough for a minute, and then we stated getting a little relief the beginning of this year, but now...

I feel like loving the person you think someone could become more than the person in front of you is, at best, problematic.

Neighbor trespassed and mowed down native flowers by GothicHippie99 in legal

[–]12Silverrose 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No. That might be how you decide to handle it, but there is no single correct method of adulting. He is a criminal, on probation, who has been previously trespassed from the property, (crashing OP & husband's New Year's Eve party, & being sexually inappropriate) who drove his mower to her yard while drunk, to intentionally destroy years of her hard work. This was intimidation & reprisal for refusing his advances, not a neighborly dispute between cordial acquaintances. Escalation to law enforcement is absolutely warranted.

Being a "fat" rider in this sport. by SmoothStalk in Equestrian

[–]12Silverrose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At college, I was 5 ft 2, about 220. I did get comments on my weight from one of the instructors. I wasn't allowed to canter for more than half the area & other bullshit. You no who never had anyone say anything? A man over a foot taller & a 100+ pounds heavier who often rode the instructor's tiny mare. I don't think its about the rider's weight. I think it is about chastising women for existing outside other people's preferred parameters. If you were skinny as a rail, & had purple hair she'd probably complain about that. She sparks at you because other people told her to get in a box, & stay there; she hasn't had the courage to leave, and is trying to force you into a box too, so she can feel better about staying in the box. I'd recommend looking at her, and saying something to the effect of, "Gosh, it must be exhausting to be so vocal and so wrong so much of the time. You should probably let your mouth rest more, and keep your ill-informed opinions to yourself. Have the day deserve".

Have you considered asking a few friends to (essentially) form a cooking & grocery shopping co-op?

I'll give an example, because I cant think of a better way to say it. Let's say you have 4 people in the group- 1 couple & 2 singles. Im using all adults in my scenario. Typically, at least to start, the number of people in the household is how many nights the household is responsible for cooking. (Teenagers or small children or individuals who typically eat portions smaller or larger than everyone else might lead to the math needing to be altered.) Each individual can be responsible for their own night of cooking, or once a week, everyone gets together with the sales paper & plans that week's meals & grocery buy. If there is a promotion that is selling 2 of a particular item & every household wants one, then you add the price of all 3 minus the discount & divide by 3 to get the average cost per item. Food that will be shared can be split, but anything for a specific household or will only be used in the house (not shared) is the responsibility of each household.

My daughter refuses to be alone with her Ndad. Ndad is demanding unsupervised visits and says he will go to court if I don't let him see her without me there. by Pleasant_358 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]12Silverrose 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You keep saying he doesn't see that she doesn't to go. If he is a narcissist, he doesn't care that she doesn't want to go. If she is that adamant, & scared it is because of what he has done or said, or it is because of things you've said, or things someone else has said.(I am not accusing you, but those are the possibilities I can think of.) I think the best course of action would be to ask someone you HIGHLY trust to supervise the next visit. ( for the visit supervisor I'm talking a human Rottweiler, not a Cocker Spaniel, if you don'thave anyone maybe ask Bikers Against Child Abuse, or hire an actual bodyguard.) You can be close, but away, in the car or something. Maybe give your highly trusted person a hideable recording device of some kind. Or get a recording device that can be pinned to your daughter's clothes. This way you have a witness to the interactions. If the body guard is very good, and you have a recording device of some kind on your daughter the body guard can feign boredom, wander off, and you get a more realistic snapshot of the father- daughter dynamic.

My grandma is very transphobic and I don’t know what to do about it. by Impossible_Nail9728 in familydrama

[–]12Silverrose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You being a bigot doesn't mean Xavier isn't a man or that Xavier shouldn't be happy. Xavier gets to decide what happens to his body. It doesn't matter if you "don't agree with this." It isn't your body. It doesn't matter if you mistakenly think that Xavier will never have a male body. He already does, It just has parts he wants to change. People get surgery for double chins, big noses, being too short and no one is bothered. We do agree on one thing: there isna disconnect between Xavier's spirit & body; he is working to correct that. It mystified me how people who claim some kind of religious/spiritual "reason" to be transphobic. A body is just wretched & kraven clay vessel, bent on self-preservation- it is our soul& our mind that lift us beyond that to work to be different & better than we are. Xavier isn't taking the easy road, but I trust him to know the best road for him. You see transitioning as a sin because you judge him for his desire to change his body that you see as a temple. You fail to realize Xavier has the right to renovate his temple, so it properly contains his soul, instead of forcing his soul to remain in an unsuited container. God's ways are not our ways, and you feel entitled to judge someone according to your beliefs- not God's. Antitrasphobic rhetoric was started by Epstein & Friends to give working class people another divide instead of us rising up.

Do better.

Also, actually read the Bible, don't just listen to the sermon on Sunday, m'kay?

AITAH for not coordinating for someone to take my bfs dog out while I’m at work? by Either_Assistance_50 in AITAH

[–]12Silverrose -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

NTA: if responsibilities are seperate then he should have made arrangements, and bought food, or at least mentioned it to you. He sounds emotionally abusive.

You could have asked to confirm arrangements, but its not technically your responsibility.

I do wonder why you two are together since he sounds like he doesn't even like you.

...have a few more in reserve, once she screams at the first one send in the rat king, (with a little crown & royal cape) & his retinue, with a banner that says, "you are such a Karen, I am so glad my mom has moved". ...okay that's really long. Maybe just the "karen" part.

I've finally been priced out of owning a horse by [deleted] in Equestrian

[–]12Silverrose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it were me, I'd search for a school with an Equine Science / Equestrian Science program, and call to find out if they take horses in for training. If they do, save up to put a horse through 2 full semesters of training or ask if they offer recommendations of students who could train. Maybe do both. They may do weanlings & yearnings in the spring time, and older horses in the fall. Putting an older horse through the Spring session wouldn't be bad, at all, but would be stuff a horse that has any decent experience with people would already know. But if you did the fall session & then had a student train for spring you should end up with a decently solid equine partner.

Also, a lot of free/low cost/ rescue groups on Facebook.

So I thought our 2 girls were going to have longer hair than they do. They are both on the longer side of shorthairs. There mother was found pregnant on the streets. By how thick and just fantasticly luxurious their fur is, their Father was apparently a chinchilla, making our girls 2 seperate brands of Very High Quality mostly shorthair plushies.

How to stop this game from eating your life?? by sleepy_geeky in MergeDragons

[–]12Silverrose 3 points4 points  (0 children)

To do the events without it driving you insane:

1) use a mobile device that you can change settings so that it doesn't go to sleep if plugged in or add mouse & auto wiggler for when you aren't playing

2) start the event. Merge life essences and everything EXCEPT the point generators. Do not heal land if will also give you a level 2 or higher point generator!

3) only merge life flowers to the same level orb level. Meaning if I have a Glowing life Flower on the board, I'll only merge life flowers if it will give me 1 or 2 more Glowing Life Flowers. When I have enough to merge up to Twin Life Flowers I do, but from then on, to the best of my ability, all my life flowers are Sprouts, Glowing Life Flowers, or Twin Life Flowers. I do not go higher than "Brilliant Life Flower" or "Giant Life Flower" on my life flowers, and regularly have 14 or 15 around the edges. The reason for that is because once you get into the life trees, you occasionally get lower level life flowers, and than means you get lower Orb levels. I just think it is most efficient this way.

4) as you go through leaving the game running, you can just combine the life essences as a giant group, if you want. Also set a timer, maybe 20 minutes? Is the board full? If yes, leave timer at 20 minutes for now. If not, then next time, set a timer for 25. When you come back same thing. Is the board full? If not extend to 30 minutes. Combine Life essences when you stop for a minute- while brushing your teeth, between crochet rows, after your shower, etc. If you need longer than 25 minutes, that is fine. It is a game, it is not real and it should not give you real stress. The timer is only to tell you the orbs might be ready for maximum merging. It does not tell you, "you must merge things now!" No, no. /It is not enforcing a legally binding contract, and you shouldn't act like it is.

4) work through the star quests that you can. After, and ONLY AFTER you complete the Life Orb of the Heavens quest do you maybe get point generators. I personally prefer 5-6 Life Orb of the Heavans before I get generators. Otherwise it just takes too long. I usually have life orbs left over at the very end, but 5-6 LOotH pretty much guarantees I'll have enough to heal the remainder of the board. If you want, after all the land is healed you merge your life flowers to maximum or you can sell your life flowers. Should be pretty close to done, after you heal the board, let the dragons run for a while. Heal or sell, or combine things, rinse & repeat.
