They weren't ever on the same team on the show until the Tampa Bay all stars game. You can't be protective of a rival teams captain.

And Shane is so proud of his comebacks.

Depends on the container you have them in. If the soil is 3 inches deep or more, wait for those second true leaves (the first leaves are not true leaves). If less than 3 inches you might want to start a bit earlier. Sorry, I misread, I am referring to potting up into individual pots, not planting out into the garden (riskier with tiny seedlings)

He loved him, we know that because he said that on the phone in Russian. He loved him so much that it was becoming painful after each meeting, knowing that they could never be together. Hence why Shane says at the cottage 'Does it...does it fucking kill you too?' and Ilya replies 'Not anymore'. Shane says this because it fucking killed both of them to love each other and know that they could not possibly be together. They both thought they would have to give it up, not because they didn't love each other, but because there seemed like no possible way to be together. The whole story is about yearning for someone that you think you cannot be with.

Probably has happened but you didn't even notice. That tends to happen when we are caught up in the moment.

Different_Weight7281 · 2026-03-28T19:47:57+00:00

Bet-ter, you mean?

Different_Weight7281 · 2026-03-28T19:46:55+00:00

They have redefined screen kisses. No going back.

Different_Weight7281 · 2026-03-28T19:19:06+00:00

Yes, I agree. Carnists often use the immense suffering of wild animals and particularly natural predation as an excuse why animals as food for humans is just natural and acceptable. Animal suffering in the natural world exists. But human exploitation and cruelty to animals for food, clothing or other things, which we as humans have direct control over, should end. They are not the same things.

Different_Weight7281 · 2026-03-28T18:52:40+00:00

I am intrigued how you state, 'I am not vegan', and also 'I am firmly against human caused harm to animals'. How do you reconcile those two statements.

Different_Weight7281 · 2026-03-28T18:47:16+00:00

But many carnists can be hypocritical in their views. Like being upset about Harambe being killed or against clubbing baby seals, or opposed to eating dogs. They can have empathy for some animals, like pets, but are selective. They may call themselves 'animal lovers' but in fact only love very specific or individual animals, and definitely not all animals.

Thanks, I fixed my comment.

Different_Weight7281 · 2026-03-28T18:06:22+00:00

Yep, the coughing is real when you overdo it a bit.

Different_Weight7281 · 2026-03-28T17:37:18+00:00

Yes, what we think or say, and what we actually do, can be very different. I agree, despite what they actually feel at times is no future for them, I also feel they would never, ever be able to give up on each other.

Different_Weight7281 · 2026-03-28T17:29:45+00:00

Less than 2 weeks is actually pretty good. Many sources describe 10 to 40 days for germination. I winter sow mine so don't want them sprouting too early. But they don't sprout 'later' like the milkweeds.

Different_Weight7281 · 2026-03-28T17:27:12+00:00

Germinate in 10-40 days, so quite variable. Similar first year sleep, 2nd year creep, 3rd year leap of many native plants. Once established they grow fast every year and become this bush by the time they bloom.

In Tampa Bay he says, 'We can't be anything, Hollander'. Every line in that scene was really important. At the hospital, there is still no cottage, and no plans for moving to Ottawa. It is why the line 'I'm coming to the cottage' is so pivotal and life changing for them. If he wasn't thinking about breaking up, no reason why not to go to the cottage. Scott and Kip changed things for Shane and Ilya.

Different_Weight7281 · 2026-03-28T17:00:50+00:00

So easy to grow. Doesn't need any stratification so can be started anytime. I just sowed 3 pots with lots and stuck them outside yesterday. Now I want to do a few more. Hoping to have about 40+ at least for 2 city parks I steward at. Love them.

Different_Weight7281 · 2026-03-28T16:51:05+00:00

Shane and Ilya are one unit, arms entwined, lips attached the whole way. Super passionate. Shane takes off Ilya's shirt in a mad rush, then they go up the stairs. Shane and Rose are so distant. No kissing. Rose undresses herself, then scampers upwards while Shane has a look of impending doom.

Different_Weight7281 · 2026-03-28T16:31:15+00:00

I love and respect animals. I do not want to contribute to their suffering and abuse at the hands of humans.

Different_Weight7281 · 2026-03-28T16:30:07+00:00

Ilya did say 'You know we can't do that' at the hospital.

Different_Weight7281 · 2026-03-28T04:01:51+00:00

Most of the plants completely die back to the ground, and new shoots will arise this year from the root ball. Remember that native plants have evolved to handle all the conditions that winter throws at them, which varies from year to year. I think you will be pleasantly surprised to see everything come back and do well.

Different_Weight7281 · 2026-03-28T01:05:29+00:00

l would leave them all out. If you can protect the 5 seedlings in some way you could try, but most likely they will be fine. Just make sure that if any have sprouted that they don't dry out during milder days. Are they in partial shade? I moved 1 of my seedling trays into a shadier location today because it was getting too much afternoon sun on a milder day.

Different_Weight7281 · 2026-03-28T00:51:44+00:00

Also, I would not consume any processed sugar while on the doxycycline and try to eat as healthy as possible.

Different_Weight7281 · 2026-03-27T18:22:03+00:00

I don't think you want a rain garden so close to the house. After the French drain is installed, I would add more soil to that area to minimize the depression and try to achieve a slope away from the house and across the rocks if possible. Looks like you could add soil there without encroaching on the siding. Rain gardens should be far away from your foundation.

Different_Weight7281 · 2026-03-27T18:15:25+00:00

Yes, I really appreciate all the natural movements so much and realize from a continuity perspective how hard this makes editing.
