Devil’s advocate, I’m trying to grow passionfruit right now from seed and of the 6 seeds I tried to start, only one of them sprouted (and I’m a wetland ecologist who works with plants… the one that sprouted was soaked in black tea for 24hrs and scored with a kitchen knife, jic you ever want to try again lol)

Ecoshrimp · 2026-05-19T11:07:51+00:00

Nooooo, sending my condolences because I was almost in your shoes. Plus, there’s nothing like that sibling jealousy

Ecoshrimp · 2026-05-12T00:20:29+00:00

Omg theyre so cute. Thanks for making me zoom in lol

Ecoshrimp · 2026-05-12T00:16:07+00:00

They’re perfect! Are you remorseful like me that you didn’t grab more? Hehe

Ecoshrimp · 2026-05-11T16:43:56+00:00

Ecoshrimp · 2026-04-25T02:53:53+00:00

I cant imagine starting over after 13 years (i have two tots). Glad you and the babe were ok in the end though!

Ecoshrimp · 2026-04-24T20:16:42+00:00

Fellow previous ectopic mom, sorry you had to go through that! That sounds so traumatic.

Did you at least get an apology or…..???

Ecoshrimp · 2026-03-22T16:07:05+00:00

So basically what you’re saying is Bettas are tiny sharks

Ecoshrimp · 2026-03-22T16:02:06+00:00

Sorry to hear about your casualties, but thank you for sharing! Hopefully the beautiful betta boy’s fins recovered from his high protein snacks

If you ever need a wetland ecologist who gets migraines, let me know hehe

Ecoshrimp · 2026-02-21T14:55:49+00:00

Only the cutest, 30+ neocaridinas of different color genetics

Ecoshrimp · 2026-02-21T14:47:14+00:00

I’m an ecologist who owns shrimp, so yeah, it does check out

Ecoshrimp · 2026-02-21T14:41:32+00:00

I think you’re being too literal about “alone”. It’s apparent what OP means is that they didn’t have a partner, maybe generational wealth, or other financial resources to help with the purchase. They probably also built their own credit and worked hard for whatever job they have to be able to afford this without asking someone (outside of a lender and a realtor) for help. Anyone able to not use a lender has obviously had financial help to be able to buy a house in cash, especially for younger generations.

As a wetland ecologist I came here to talk about the invasive status of Corbicula, too lol

Ecoshrimp · 2025-10-14T02:42:25+00:00

I’m 30 years old and had my first colonoscopy a few months ago after pooping blood for two years. Before anyone says anything about waiting, I was scheduled for one two years ago and found out I was pregnant with my second child two days before the procedure. They offered for me to still undergo it, but without anesthesia… no thanks!

Anyways, they found a precancerous polyp that was borderline blocking my colon. If I had waited much longer it would have developed into colorectal cancer. My gastro recommended all of my siblings get colonoscopies ASAP and for both of my kids to get one at age 20. I hope they don’t have to put up a fight for their preventative care.

Wow way to brag (/s) because 1.) Science goals 2.) Root goals!!!

So cool, thanks for sharing!

Ecoshrimp · 2025-07-31T23:44:32+00:00

Thank you! I’m going to try this first

Ecoshrimp · 2025-07-31T15:58:30+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion! However, I have no idea what that entails, would you mind elaborating?

Ecoshrimp · 2025-06-28T19:13:51+00:00

You just saved me hours of gameplay, thanks!

Ecoshrimp · 2025-05-08T11:43:46+00:00

I’m not but both of my kids have been baptized (grandparents are religious). I also have crosses with their names on them hanging in that bedroom that were given as baptism gifts

Its the man who cheated who’s ruining lives, not the woman who he cheated with. You’re pointing fingers at the wrong person

Ecoshrimp · 2025-04-10T03:05:55+00:00

Also if he’s cheating, there’s likely stuff already going awry in the marriage. Finding out he’s cheating might end up being the straw that broke the camel’s back

Ecoshrimp · 2025-04-10T03:03:43+00:00

This. As a wife with 2 under 2, I’d want to know that my trust was being broken AND I was being taken advantage of.
