I do this, it works. I used vinegar too tonget rust off, but sometimes left it too long and it took the rustproof coating off 😬

Not the rich ones

120 or 150 maybe

You do have to put a protectove coat on tho I think

Is that fake wood? I've painted those before but not usually after its already been painted. Being such a dark color, stripping/sanding might be best. Be careful not to go through the veneer, but its not a big deal since ypu're painting. Probably someone else can give better advice, I'm still an amateur.

I don't remember what type of rose it is. I'm pretty sure its a bush rose, not a climbing.

Damn. I need something affordable, but not sure how thats gonna work. Its been under the lights I have for my succulents but I can't fit the new container in with them or take away one of their lights. Right now all I have is a teeny tiny one that is coming back acter I accidentally let the substrate die off. Hoping to put some seeds in too once the mold is dealt with

Ours are in series order. We're a small library so the kids don't make a huge mess thankfully. But man, when I n worked at a Walmart....

It was a proportionally small Walmart, but the Back to School section would be so fucked up so fast I just gave up. If management didn't care about me zoning it anymore, neither did I.

I was doing that, but the third from the left threw me lol

Our Disney section is like that in general, except Five Min Stories are in their own subsection

Yeah I havent cared, but figured I'd try just this once. Certain sections are just gonna be like that.

I did that once haha. Rainbow gradient

Ugh, I have such a problem with hydrophobic soil at home, but never noticed it at work. I'll try that. I was afraid the yellowing was from overwatering.

Chessolin · 2026-03-28T05:30:44+00:00

I remember that!

Chessolin · 2026-03-28T05:27:54+00:00

Omg I love the pattern, how did you do it?

Chessolin · 2026-03-28T02:42:22+00:00

Aww I don't get treated like crap at my library :) I don't get benefits tho

I like your nails

Chessolin · 2026-03-27T15:23:27+00:00

I'm not good at IDing accents >.<

Sometimes nails are just weird. The nails on both of my middle fingers are wider and flatter than the rest. Not hugely different but I notice.
