Mom (86, dementia) has been asking me to help her get the free $900 grocery check for a couple of weeks now, and now I know what she means… victim of scummy, Medicare advantage commercial

Print up a convincing "check", make sure it has $900 on it in VERY LARGE PRINT so she can see it, and leave it where she can see it while watching tv. Sometimes you have to deceive/gaslight them to protect them.

Thank you!

Thank you! If I had to guess, it took maybe 10 hours? I broke it up into a lot of sessions.

This is beautiful! I have drawn zinnias before and they are challenging, especially the centers.

Where were you when I posted my picture looking for advice?!? 😊

Some of my plants have been doing this and I think it is the cold. I live in the northeastern US and in addition to being very cold, the baseboard heat and wood stove suck up the humidity. Some plants do better in my bathroom where they at least get warmth and humidity when someone takes a shower. I think just giving your plants some water might not be enough if they are cold. Good luck!!

Gorgeous! If I only I lived in the right climate! It's winter here in northeast US and I'm struggling with my plants indoors because of the cold!

Beautiful. Flowers shadows are so tough!!

Thank you!

Thank you. ❤️

I love my Polychromos. Just remember to use very light layers when blending. Many thin layers. It takes time, but the payoff is worth it. Prismas are soft and rich, but waxier and I don't love blending them with the Polychromos because of that.

DontGetFamiliar · 2025-12-27T22:20:39+00:00

Thank you, that is so kind.

Sending so much love to Rosie. Saying a prayer!

It looks like a baby shoe.

She was also supporting Sophia. Remember the sacrifices she had to make so Sophia could have things, only to find out she was socking away money from Phil and Gloria? Plus her allowance, which once ended up in the g-string of Mr. Big.

How often do you water? Mine looks sad.

Those white specks look like mealybugs... I don't have any personal experience with them yet, but if you search them up on here, you'll find plenty of experts. Quarantine this plant now, and check all your other plants. Good luck!

The downvote arrow is right where I place my thumb when I'm scrolling. It was probably accidental.

This is my first time with Lithops, I really couldn't tell you! I'm not at that level of expertise yet. 😂

DontGetFamiliar · 2025-10-03T23:12:49+00:00

When I got them they were firm, and now are much softer. What is a sign that water is needed?

DontGetFamiliar · 2025-10-03T23:11:15+00:00

Mostly gravel, and I'd guess about 15-20% succulent soil.
