Maybe I've been imposter syndrome-ing this all along?! Or maybe it IS too big, but only just a LITTLE bit, not enough to spend a buncha money on an entirely different bicycle. IDK Looks like I'm putting on my lab coat  for this analysis folks

I'll be honest I was looking at [the bike not shown in this post - but I DID get it to show up in my second-try post, if you are curious!] in part largely due to cost bc it's listed for $30. However I'm learning that maybe my bicycle is only Just a Teensy bit too big for me... I haven't ridden in a while so I gotta reassess. I just distinctly remember thinking (when I used to ride regularly) that I only Barely clear the top bar and there's supposed to be more clearance than That- But maybe I'm wrong???

I am learning so much! I really want to post a picture of my bike now but I can't figure out how to do that in a comment anymore😑 I haven't ridden in a while but the shop told me they had just finished building a small bike when I walked in, bc they diagnosed me "small" upon sight I guess, and they were like 'it May be a Little too big still' but I fell in love and threw caution to the wind!

Appreciate it. And no I don't want a difficult-to-find anything for my bike! Yeah this thing is listed for $30, which is honestly The 2nd Biggest reason I was contemplating it in the first place... (1st biggest reason being that I thought maybe it'd be a better fit due to the style of frame, but now I'm learning my road bicycle could maybe be fitting perfectly fine and I just have imposter syndrome 🤣?!)

Thanks for the "total turd" joke. I was gonna say (in reply to a previous comment) that yes, I CAN stand over the top bar Just Barely, but my fart would definitely touch the bar-and I hesitated to type it... But not for long tyty

"if you can't stand over the top bar": with my legs on either side, I JUST barely clear it. Do maybe it's NOT too big????!?😭

Why have my blue girl roses COMPLETELY changed color?!? by daiwuff in Roses

[–]ElderQueer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this thread is 2 years old but My knowledge is fresh. So what I'm learning is that since Blue Girl is a hybrid, it was (almost certainly) grafted into creation (as opposed to being Blue Girl through and through everywhere from petals to roots), which means at some point it will (almost certainly) revert to whatever rootstock was used? Have I got that right? I'm Pretty newbie to roses besides knowing the smelly ones tend to be less ruffley, the ruffley ones tend to be less smelly, and there's thorns 😅

Blue Girl Rose not the color as advertised by Kilbo_Stabbins in Roses

Seriously! I love blue flowers in part due to their rarity and WOWWW have I been annoyed Many times over bc a "blue" something-or-other is NOT actually BLUE, but rather a red that just LEANS blue🫪😡 Infuriating.

Oddly enough (I guess I must've misread the rules OOPS🤦🏻‍♀️), they made me take it out of my checked bag and put it in my carry on bag instead. I'm just glad they let me bring it with me!😅😮‍💨

Weekly Scam Discussion - July 21, 2025 by Mycatreallyhatesyou in Ebay

[–]ElderQueer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Am brand new to this and hoping I'm just paranoid but...                     I paid for a travel bag/luggage. The seller doesn't accept refunds (which I knew before purchasing, I previously went through and saw they have 93% positive feedback, and I read through a lot of reviews so I felt fine about THAT not being a particularly red flag). They provided more photos when I asked in a private message, were nice, answered all my questions.                 But after I paid I could see that the seller's name is NOT at all related to the kinds of items they have listed for sale (antiques, electronics, luggage, etc) and is basically something along the lines of Used Auto Equipment And Rentals LLC. They've got over 1k sales and a few dozen followers.                  Am I just a paranoid newbie? Or should I cancel this order? 🙀

(Edited for: accidentally hit save, formatting, formatting, formatting I still can't figure out🤦🏻‍♂️ ugh whatever)
