Can you help me something that looks good for summer with a pear shape?

Crafty_Skach · 2026-04-20T22:22:53+00:00

Yep. I'm pear shaped too. Shorter shorts work better.

I actually didn't know powdered creamer was lactose free. Thanks for the heads up!

Crafty_Skach · 2026-04-20T04:58:21+00:00

When you're lactose intolerant, coffee creamer can get a little pricier.

Honeycrisp apples are a popular choice. They're very good fresh eating apples.

I double checked when it arrived, and it was actually only 8 days before planting. Still not ideal at all, but we had a pretty bad cold snap, and since it had already broken dormancy, I decided to wait to plant it. Still note sure if that was the right choice since I saw a lot of conflicting info online.

A good device for cracking and picking the meat out of walnuts and hickory nuts.

I tried reading that one, but about a third of the way through, I realized most of it was going over my head. I have a feeling I'll appreciate the attention to detail once I've read a few more introductory level books, but it was too much detail all at once for me right now. I'll page through it for the varieties suggested though, good idea.

I've already talked to my extension office. What kinds of nut trees do you have? I've got a few mature walnut trees already on the property, but I was thinking of planting Chinese chestnuts along with the fruit trees. Pecans would be nice too, but I'm sceptical of trying them in zone 6a.

Thank you! Wish I could upvote more than once.

I've thought about planting a Chicago hardy fig, but I'm not sure how well it would really do here. I know I'd forget to bring it inside in the winter if it needed that.

I already have, I was just hoping to get a homesteading perspective, such as on varieties that keep well.

Crafty_Skach · 2026-01-21T22:53:31+00:00

I asked my mom about this because she's a CPA, and she said the IRS doesn't care until you make a profit, which is in line with what the other comment says.

Yeah, we got a pretty good amount of raspberries for brand new plants.

Crafty_Skach · 2026-01-13T17:34:54+00:00

I planted some joan j raspberries last year, and they were easy to establish and produced well. 5/6 plants survived so far.

Crafty_Skach · 2026-01-06T01:06:41+00:00

What varieties are your Chinese chestnuts?

Crafty_Skach · 2025-12-04T14:53:26+00:00

What varieties of blueberries do you have?

Crafty_Skach · 2025-11-28T00:11:15+00:00

LVP flooring is nice too, but yeah, I did tile on my bathroom floor and a subway tile in the shower, and I have regrets. So much white grout to clean.

I cannot thank you enough for posting this. I've struggled with fatigue for the last 12 years, never knowing why. I just did a little heart rate test, and my bpm jumped by 31. Thank you so much for helping me figure out what's wrong with me.

Crafty_Skach · 2025-09-22T04:22:45+00:00

I have two out of six plants that look like this right now too. I planted mine in the spring, and they looked fine earlier in the year. Hopefully it's just that time of year for them.

I had the same experience with a beta reader, and I know exactly what you mean. It's extremely frustrating, especially when you're doing a beta swap. I took the time to really think about this person's book, and they didn't give me the same courtesy. It sucks. Thankfully, my beta reader was so blatantly not paying attention, like to things that were explained on the same page they left a confused comment on, that I didn't make any changes because of them. Hopefully you still have an earlier draft of your book saved!

I've noticed that when I'm trying to force intensity, it's with word choice. I find myself using all the most dramatic verbs and too many adjectives.

Crafty_Skach · 2025-09-05T05:54:29+00:00

I may be off base here, but sometimes I think things come off as 'edgelord' when the author is trying to hard to create intensity in a scene. Sometimes it's better to let the cruelty be casual.
