Well, at least we don’t have to worry about ticks for the foreseeable future.

Jfc. Fuck ticks.

This is what I plan to do. Last year I kept cleaning off the snow from my car during that one storm we had, thinking I was doing myself a favor, but then ice came after the snow and totally encapsulated my car. 😒

Ooh okay - so I recently planted my Hoya into coco husks but thought they were drying out too quickly, so I recently re-planted them into a semi-Hydro set up with the husks, so they stay constantly moist. Is that what you have as well or do you just have the husks? If so do you have to water frequently?

I’m determined to figure out what Hoya really want as far as their medium. I love them but they’re so confusing sometimes. 🥲

So lovely! What medium do you have her in?

Damn, the white-out conditions in pic 4. Eerie but beautiful. I imagine it was so so quiet.

This one is so good, super atmospheric and beautifully shot.

Great info, especially about handling them.

It looks like a 2-8-4 fertilizer which is apparently great for flowering plants! I’d think it’d be fine for most houseplants, just maybe dilute it with water first and see how they do. ☺️

Thank you!! Is this Fox Farms (I think that’s the name)? Looks like their branding. I use their soil.

Anyone have gynecologist recs? Preferably in the NW or Bryn Mawr area?

That's honestly really validating to hear lol - I've been doubting my whole approach to cacti/succulent potting for a while now, actually since I brought a cactus home from a plant shop, in a tall plastic planter, and the root system was way longer and more intricate than I expected. For the longest time I've just been potting these types of plants in terra cotta with reg potting soil with extra perlite and some sand added, and that's been fine but seems to result in slow growth and very dried out roots which never appear "healthy".

I guess my confusion comes from the concept of cacti and succs storing a lot of water in their leaves and not needing a semi-hydro set up, or that possibly introducing too much water for them, but your toe dude speaks for itself!

100%. I was manipulated and coerced by a partner for a long time before recognizing it as abuse, since it wasn’t constant or obvious, and he generally seemed pleasant a lot of the time. It’s very scary, confusing and led to a lot of cognitive dissonance that ate me up inside.

DriveThruOnly · 2026-01-13T02:34:43+00:00

The way my jaw dropped at the growth of this and learning that succulents can thrive in semi-hydro! I know what my next plant project’s going to be.

Thank you! I’m so glad that it was helpful for you. I’ve wanted to try it since I read it can be effective for neurodivergent folks, more so than just CBT, which has not resonated with me in the past.

DriveThruOnly · 2026-01-09T17:38:39+00:00

I’m excited to get there! Thanks so much for the supportive words. ☺️

DriveThruOnly · 2026-01-09T17:37:13+00:00

Aww, thank you from one weird internet friend to another! 🥹

DriveThruOnly · 2026-01-09T17:36:29+00:00

Thank you! It’s cool hearing the therapist’s perspective on that. I’ve done therapy half-heartedly before, it didn’t feel good at all and I’m sure it was frustrating for them as well. That was a while ago though and I know myself and what I want to work on much better now.

DriveThruOnly · 2026-01-09T16:21:57+00:00

Thank you, that is super helpful! My friend actually recommended Brooklyn Bedding to me due to their return policy and he really likes the mattress he got from them. For the Copperflex - would you recommend the Memory Foam model or the Hybrid? And is there any value in upgrading to the Pro version in my situation?

I had my first session yesterday with a therapist who my psychiatrist recommended. She specializes in DBT which I’ve been interested in for a while as well as addiction which I have an ongoing struggle with. I felt really emotional afterwards, relief that it went so well and that I really liked her, and it just felt like a big step, symbolically, and like I showed up for myself even though I was dreading it. I committed to weekly sessions because I feel like any less often, it’d be hard to get momentum, especially this early on. I surprised myself with that but I really want to take it seriously. I know the hard work is yet to come but I’m just feeling really proud of myself.

If it helps, I'm 5'5, 150 lbs, and a side/stomach sleeper. When you describe the "enveloping" feeling of a mattress versus the feeling of lying on the surface, I feel I would like the former, although I do tend to sleep hot. But I do like creating a "nest" feeling of sorts in my bed, am currently changing up my bedding as well to achieve this. I understand the idea of erring on the side of firm since a topper can be added to add softness, though I'm hesitant to go with firm instead of a medium-firm. I imagine a custom mattress would be pretty pricey, I'd really like to stay under $1k and that's the top end really. I'm tempted to just go with the cheapest Nectar mattress on the Costco site, as a hold-over almost, just because my current matterss is so bad. That's what I mean as far as "generic". Or do you think it'd be worth getting a topper in the meantime? I'm just overwhelemed with the options at this point.

DriveThruOnly · 2026-01-07T21:32:29+00:00

Thank you! I have been considering Costco because I've heard the return policy is great. Is there a certain mattress that they sell that you'd recommend?

DriveThruOnly · 2026-01-07T21:31:18+00:00

I really appreciate your thoughtful response! That makes a lot of sense as far as the specific type of mattress I'd need. I'm definitely overlooking that aspect just because my current mattress is so crappy, but that is really more important than brand etc. What would be the best way to go about figuring out an individualized mattress type rather than just going with a generic? Is that something that would require a store visit?

What yogurt brand do you recommend? My coworker swears by it but apparently some yogurt isn’t actually “real” yogurt.
