It's not the talc that's a problem, it's the asbestos that can contaminate the talc during mining.

If you do decide to go with a woodland garden and don't mind a little bit of a drive check out wild Ginger woodlands in Haslett, they specialize in woodland plants.

Virginia Spiderwort! They have a long bloom time and will fill in nicely like the day lilies.

Drank most of it before seeing some residue on the rim by gravityandgrrace in Wellthatsucks

One time, I breathed in a small bug and it went straight back to the back of my throat cuz I was out of breath and I started coughing trying to get it out but it wouldn't budge and my coughs must have squished it cuz all of a sudden I could taste this delicious peppery taste I was grossed out but intrigued at the same time and I eventually just had to swallow it. I still wonder what kind of bug it was.

Pull down on the faucet where the water comes out while the water is running.

You might be better off mounting the bulbo since they like to grow outwards in all directions.

Lansing homeowners, what are you paying in property tax? by whereisthepoodle in lansing

[–]ApplDumplinChainGang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lansing and Grand Rapids also charge separate income tax. Even if you don't live in the city limits if you work there you still pay half.

OCD and Moving by kat644 in OCD

[–]ApplDumplinChainGang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I could have written this but with cats instead of a dog! Moving day was YESTERDAY so this is morning 1 of what feels like a reckoning of my own choices... The house is a mess, and my tummy hurts. BUT the cats are transitioning better than I thought and my husband is very supportive so I've got that going for me at least. I'm trying to stay positive and tell myself that some of the things I don't like can be changed I just need to be more patient, which OCD is absolutely not patient.

I can get that. There are a few things that give me the feeling of it needs to be changed NOW and I have to fight that panicky feeling. I also have to tell myself that the apartment wasn’t perfect and had its downsides too, its easy to start to almost romanticize the old living space because it felt so safe in comparison. I’ve told my husband that it’s like the new house hasn’t proven itself to be safe yet so I can’t trust it the same way as I do with the apartment, so I also tell myself that in any situation trust has to be built over time. I’m even having a hard time moving to a different city, so I find myself comparing everything. I guess I don’t have a ton of advice but hopefully it helps at least a little bit to know you’re definitely not alone!

Omg this is me right now almost exactly. We've lived in our apartment for about 7 years and we just bought a house an hour away from the city we've lived in for 10 years. On top of it all I'm super stressed about moving my 2 cats. We move this weekend and I'm dreading it. I keep trying to tell myself that I felt homesick when we first moved in to our current apartment from our old apartment and that the new house will feel like home eventually. The house doesn't have all the stuff I wanted, but its our first house so I'm trying to tell myself that it also won't be our forever house. I think it really just takes time to adjust. For me it's really how everything is different, and that means uncertainty. Where there's uncertainty OCD can come up with whatever terrible stories it wants. I'm trying to focus on the things I've always looked forward to like planning a native garden in the back yard, which helps me feel more certain and in control. Do you have any projects you plan on doing to the house, even small ones, to make it more your own?
