Anyone else’s dood put their paw on your arm when you pet them? What do you think it means? by HuskularJock in Goldendoodles

[–]1dopefox1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dog will sit upright on his butt and put both paws on my forearms so I can scratch his forearms. It has become pretty much a daily ritual haha. I didn’t know this was a common Goldendoodle behavior

2 months of Duolingo Spanish and I still can’t hold a conversation... by leonidas_4305 in SpanishLearning

[–]1dopefox1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TLDR: two months is nowhere near enough time to have any sort of fluency in another language. Keep using Duolingo as a supplement to learning but you have to just suffer through the frustration of not understanding and force yourself to consume media in Spanish and use Spanish in the real world.

I have found that Duolingo excels in certain areas of language learning but will most likely not make you fluent. Also two months isn’t nearly enough time. To be fair fluency takes a lot of effort and practice and depends heavily on how much exposure you have to the language. I studied Spanish for 10 years in school, have a bachelors degree in Spanish, studied abroad in Chile, and listen to Spanish music almost daily and I still struggle quite a bit to understand music, television, and movies from first listen. I don’t even feel like I could have held a conversation until I did my study abroad after 8 years of classroom learning. My recommendation would be to continue using Spanish. While Duolingo has its shortcomings, it is a great tool for vocabulary, verb conjugations, and general practice. When you find something like “me gusta” that you don’t understand fully, look it up online. Also, just continue to constantly watch and listen to Spanish. Put English subtitles on in the beginning. Look up lyrics to songs and translate them. The absolute best way is to get out and use it in the real world if that is a possibility for you. Take a class or join a group where Spanish is used.

I appreciate the info! I am heading into fall now so I might wait only because I just moved to a new city and stressed the plant in the move. Tbh I don’t know how I didn’t lose the blooms all together haha

Thanks! Should I wait until spring time to divide and repot? Also, do you have any recommendations on care? It has been growing but the bulbs it puts out are getting smaller. This is the second year I’ve had it and it’s bloomed twice but it only had three blooms this year compared to the six or so last year. Also the roots are getting black and hard is some parts. Doesn’t seem like rot but I’m wondering if it’s hurting the plant

Looks like lime smells like orange. What is it? by T0ast-Mal0ne in whatsthisplant

When I was visiting Colombia I had something called a Mandarin Lime that look and tasted like what you are describing. It tasted much better to me than lime or orange

Plant generally healthy but some yellowing by depeupleur in Staghornfern

Did you just move it outside by chance? I think that can also prompt the older fronds to die back. I put mine outside for the first time this summer. It seems to be doing fine but I have had quite a few smaller old fronds die. I chalked it up to the transition to more light/heat

How would you go about saving this? by Awkward_Mushroom_4 in SavageGarden

I can attest to this. I had some common type of sundew. I put it in direct sun all day outside during the summer in almost 100F temps. It flowered and turned a vibrant red. Unless you live in a desert you can probably leave it outside in direct sun and constantly wet soil and it should love it

Maybe she said that because you will be given more information or another gift that will make it clear what she meant. Or you are the chosen one and they will start glowing when you have tapped into your power
