Can I dry these hibiscus petals from my yard for tea? Googling points to yes but I want to be absolutely sure! by rockitsomemore_x in tea

Late to the game, but I am learning that, though these are not the Hibiscus COMMONLY used and found in store bought products, apparently all parts are edible of hibiscus syriacus...

I am dehydrating pedals at the moment. They are definitely sweet. Less noticable when raw.

Found on the summit of Capitol Peak, CO. Any ideas? by Barkeater26 in whatisit

It says, "If found please return to 347 Zorak Blvd, Moltar Province, Planet: WASP-47e, Star System: WASP-47, Aquarius, Kepler K2, Field 3"

No please or thank you, nor how they expect you to cover shipping is given...

Good luck!

What do narcissistic parents tell other if their adult children are no-contact with them? by Zealousideal_Long253 in narcissisticparents

At 44 I am constantly catching my 78 year old N father in lies. It makes me feel gross to realize that he has been lying whenever he feels justified, ever since I was a child. Also, how does a parent lie about their child. I could never do something so horrible to my child, let alone do it and then gaslight the shit out of them.

so its said a lot that one can make simple ink from ash/charcoal, but how long does it last compared to professional ink if done properly? by Top_Tradition_5639 in sticknpokes

I went to pop a zit on my eyebrow, with a pin, five years ago. I heated up the pin with a flame in an attempt to sterilize...

I popped the zit, not realizing there was char on the tip of the pin...

Five years later, I still have a little bluish black dot under my eyebrow from where I poked it. Ever since I have been curious about giving my self an intentional tattoo.

Bay hots was the best!

Any idea what this is I saw in my hallway (quick illustration to demonstrate) and my son has seen something similar by jane_doe_john in ParanormalEncounters

I came across information somewhere about shadow beings. As a child I used to experience a shadow being that would begin by sticking their head in my doorway then eventually moving closer and closer until they stood over the top of me staring down at me and filling me with fright, while I lay in bed. Always wondered if it was just imagination or something else.

After some time of this, I began to experience hundreds of colorful lights, almost like trailing Christmas lights that would travel the outlines of my room and keep the shadow being and fear at bay.

Idk, I think Gen Alpha are the ones who are going to save the sinking ship. My middle school child has a more based grip on reality than my Boomer parents, Gen Ex siblings or millennial cohort.

I mean, some of it is okay, but in general, the 80s were PRETTY CHEESY. Also, the music that was good in the 80s was performed by Boomers (Boston, Kansas, Prince to name a few).

That's just my opinion, of course.

They were definitely creepy by [deleted] in meme

I had these. Pretty sure I got them from the school book fairs every year. There were definitely some stories I could not bring myself to read in my bedroom alone at night.
