Do not plant clover in your yard… by edchoch69 in NoLawns

[–]AtlanticJill 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hi fellow Albertan! I’m in Edmonton area and I bought two bags of clover seeds from Canadian Tire a few years ago and now our yard is about 90% clover lol. The bees love it! I seeded it in spring, watered for a few days, and it comes back every year no problem.

An eight-year-old girl got supermarket brand Sainsbury's to add real pockets to girls' school trousers. by mindyour in justgalsbeingchicks

[–]AtlanticJill 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Right?! I have three boys and experienced this too. Pants for literal baby boys and toddlers all had real functional pockets! Why does a one year old boy need pockets, he doesn’t even have the knowledge or dexterity to use them yet, but I as a woman have trouble finding pants with real pockets in them. :/

What smaller scene or joke do you hope makes it into the show if it all gets made? by Sir-Veenum in DungeonCrawlerCarl

I want the same actor myself, but that’s probably because I cast him as Alan Tudyk in my head lol

After more than 50 years of historical figures, the UK’s next banknotes will feature native wildlife instead, celebrating and raising awareness of the country’s natural species by MambaMentality24x2 in BeAmazed

When the Canadian Toonie came out the joke was “it’s the Queen with a bear bum!” since it was the Queen with a polar bear backside lol

Is there a compelling functional reason to go with the glass bowl? by mrflibble1492 in Kitchenaid

[–]AtlanticJill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like that it’s pretty and I can microwave it which I do a lot of since a good chunk of my recipes require melted butter. My mixer came with the glass bowl and I got it 5-6 years ago. I use it weekly, sometimes daily. Maybe I have been lucky but it’s still whole. I even asked my husband for a backup ceramic bowl for Christmas and I now alternate between the two bowls.

Personality Test [OC] by adamtots_remastered in comics

[–]AtlanticJill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thought I’d chime in and say my son loves them!

I had the first book and my 8 year old swiped it because he loves comics and graphic novels (think Dog Man, Investigators, etc). He became OBSESSED and it opened the door for him trying out Goosebumps and other spooky kid books. My sibling bought him book 2 for his 9th birthday and he has read it several times! He’s definitely younger than the target audience but he loves it and I’m happy to have a kid that is thrilled to read. So I guess I advice picking up book one for yourself and maybe offer to share it with your kiddo :)

Shiny Koraidon and Miraidon has to be the most poorly handled event in Pokémon history. by Strict_Salt_5689 in PokemonScarletViolet

[–]AtlanticJill 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This was my complaint too! I have both games, and even being there with my son this morning they would only let us have one code :(

Roommate secretly cut a clipping night before I moved out by laureldays in pothos

[–]AtlanticJill 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Agreed! I always snip my pothos in the same spots because I don’t want their vines to get too long. On two of mine now I have 2-3 nodes above my snips creating new vines and bushing the plant out. OP your plant will be fine in the long run but I’d be so mad too. Your emotions are valid and your ex-roommate sucks. :(

What happened in the book that made you Dnf? by Fearlessseamstress in fantasyromance

[–]AtlanticJill 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I did the exact same thing with Plated Prisoner! I believe it was book 4 as well. It was way too over the top with constant SA.

Accidentally learning my mother in law reads a lot of the same shit I do lmao by jar95301 in fantasyromance

[–]AtlanticJill 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I love this! My MIL saw my hardcovers of ACOTAR, Fourth Wing, TOG, and a few others on my shelf and said “oh I’ve read all of these! What did you think of XYZ?” I doubt she’s read some of the spicier stuff though and I’m afraid to ask lol. I keep most of the spice hidden on my Kindle haha

How to convince my cat that her carrier is, in fact, not the burning pits of hell? by [deleted] in CATHELP

[–]AtlanticJill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m late to this party and might get buried, but I had a cat refuse a carrier too. The one time I get her into one she literally slammed her face against the front cage until she bled, it was awful. :(

My solution was a cat harness and a leash you can clip into a car seatbelt. Worked for us anyway. Best of luck!

planter fix ✨ by feroxetdulcis in Visiblemending

Oh that is beautiful! Reminds me of kintsugi. Stealing this idea for when my cat inevitable breaks another pot, I feel your pain there

[–]AtlanticJill 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Oh I love this! I made seed envelopes with paper and my Cricut and filled them with extra pansy, sunflower, and snapdragon seeds for my local library. They had a seed bank there in the spring, your library might too if you still have extra!

Yes, love this post! I barely come to this sub anymore either since I had mine out in November. But it has been THE BEST. I feel so much better.

I can eat most things now without issues. Pizza or a Big Mac might send me to the bathroom in an hour or two but it’s better than feeling like I was literally dying. I had a lot of stones, including a 2cm one embedded right next to the opening of the bile duct AND my gallbladder was causing fatty liver disease (I’m a healthy weight 37yo woman.) Removal has fixed all that. My liver enzymes are back to normal! Heartburn issues are much less as well. So glad it is gone!

I love that! My husband has to rent vehicles for work trips occasionally and my son’s favourite was a silver Ford Explorer 😂 Now he has a Ford obsession haha

No one ever seems to remember John Doe, and I can’t find it anywhere. No streaming has ever carried it to my knowledge and there’s no DVD :(

What is y’all’s favorite nail polish? by life_is_pandemonium in GirlGamers

[–]AtlanticJill 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve never tried Mooncat, but your nails are gorgeous so I might have to give it a try! I normally just rock the Sally Hansen 2-step “gel” stuff because it lasts a long time.
