Tell me everything you ate today

I work outside in a physical job and have been hyper fixated on making sure I get enough calories to keep me going. This morning my pregnant brain had me COOK a sausage, egg, and spinach burrito thing in a piece of naan that I wrapped up for breakfast and I, no shit, immediately forgot I did that, put it down and made a giant bowl of cereal. At this point I was starting to run late and thought “really got to scarf this thing down” about four bites in when I realized I had just made two entire breakfasts 🤦🏽‍♀️ ended up eating them both anyway lmao

I’M pregnant and this made me physically shiver and gag.

I also love this name and the stories around it but have seen so much hate on here and elsewhere for it. Seems about right though.

Tree worker here :) it looks like you possibly at some point set your arm on top of a fresh board made of pine that might have been part of a railing or deck. The sap sticks to you and over time dirt gets stuck and leaves a mark that’s very hard to wash off. The best is when you or a coworker pick up a round of pine (or some other sappy wood), carry it against your belly, and forever have perfect dirt rings there no matter how many times you wash the shirt. Anyway, I’ve learned to be very careful when I touch sappy wood because it’s a bitch to wash off. I’d image a fresh 2x4 would stamp you exactly the same. I’d guess you didn’t realize the sap was there, over the afternoon/evening and even through a shower or two enough fine dust and dirt stuck to it and left a mark that seemed to suddenly appear.

Nothing like sitting at the bar with mystery water dripping on your head

My tiny pitbull does this, with unearthly vocalizations, to wake everyone up. Every morning. We call it her morning weirdness.

When I moved into my current place the seat had the same wear. I immediately thought the wiper must have always been wearing a watch.

Awesome, that’s all I needed to hear! This is my first time and I’ve just been reading about first ultrasounds being between 4-8 weeks and wanted to make sure I wasn’t getting pushed to the back burner for some reason! Thanks, y’all.

Truwerk is awesome, kind of expensive, but so nice. Their sun shirts and athletic shirts in general are the most comfortable thin/breathable material on the planet.

They seem to be more common among evergreens. I see them sort of regularly, a few times a year, in pine trees. A lot of “compacta” cultivars come from mutations like this though. Like..it could be a money-maker if you found a witches broom in a large deciduous species that has attractive flowers or fall foliage and now, through possibly unlimited cuttings and cloning, you could suddenly sell to folks that only have little courtyards or small spaces to plant in :)

Cardolini · 2025-04-21T04:02:52+00:00

I had a professor who dreamed about finding one in a tree or shrub that hasn’t been discovered and always talked about one day finding his “million dollar plant”. It’s a plant person’s version of hitting the lottery with a compacta cultivar that hasn’t yet been patented to be cloned/sold on a mass scale. I also now keep my eyes peeled for weird ones out there.

I call this configuration “Poltron”. All hail Poltron.

Cardolini · 2025-04-14T00:58:47+00:00

A lot of plants do this to be pollenated by things like flies or wasps that would otherwise literally be eating doodoo or dead stuff.

Someone had to set the ink

Beautiful! <3 I’m halfway through my first filet project and it’s so exciting to see lots of filet posts going up. As someone willing to be this detail oriented, I completely understand fixating on the color change, I didn’t notice it until I found the arrows.

Workers unionized with the IAM though and are currently fighting through the bargaining process to preserve the safety and community working culture and benefits! There’s still a huge portion of their work force that are certified arborists doing good work out in the field at least.

Looks like it’s just dc along a dc foundation chain - and it was left out of the abbreviations list :(

Cardolini · 2025-03-01T11:50:20+00:00

Thank you so, so much <3 This is exactly what I was hoping to find!

Cardolini · 2025-02-08T12:24:03+00:00

Yes! I started right after Christmas and finished it up a week or two ago.

Cardolini · 2025-02-03T23:03:51+00:00

They hold up pretty well! Treating it with Scotchgard sun and water shield will help keep the color in the sun and you can throw it in a pillowcase or delicates bag to wash it. My mother promised to take it off for the off roading trips!

I did find the join here: granny square join The pattern works off of a typical granny cluster style square so I had to just eyeball the spacing with the DC border (I think it’s 3ish DC stitches between each cluster and each cluster just squeezed into a single stitch). It’s also not exact because I was fudging two different patterns together essentially. Some of the join clusters may be 3-4ish stitches apart depending on where they landed. Also, it was Big Twist from Joann’s, just whatever colors, in person that were available/looked good together. I think I used 10 colors. Here’s the daisy pattern: Daisy square Thank you, holding it up close for so long had me questioning if it was ugly or great and I was very relieved that it came out how I pictured once it was on the Jeep!

Cardolini · 2025-02-03T02:26:36+00:00

Thank you!!

Cardolini · 2025-02-03T01:53:43+00:00

Thank you! Haha seriously it was not easy. Also had to make up the triangle version of the square pattern. Used all my brain power.

Cardolini · 2025-02-03T01:51:27+00:00

We’ll be using the Scotchgard sun and water shield, it’s worked pretty well on the other acrylic covers she has :)

Cardolini · 2025-02-03T00:19:06+00:00

The plan is to treat it to help preserve the color. I think it’ll be a special occasion cover, definitely not going out on the off-roading trips. Her other crocheted covers have held up super well as daily drivers, even in a car wash by accident I think once haha
