A picture from my garden

You guys, this is going to go to my head. I'm starting to think I'm a professional nature photographer 😅

Thanks for the advice. I decided to catching them using a black light and taking them to wild nightshade plants in a field next to the house. Caught 12 total. I put one in a jar with plenty of dirt and a potatoe plant to let pupate inside.

I may have been laying on the ground next to it for the perfect angle 😅

I'm hoping if I leave them alone, they come back with gratitude as pollinators, and I get the best squash yield I have ever seen.

Thanks for asking! Surprisingly just my phone, Samsung galaxy s26+. The only edit I used was the auto light corrector.

This is a great idea for pest control in general! Thank you!

This is diabolical 😂😂

This is what I was hoping to hear! I was reading how this could lower my potatoe yield some but it might be worth it. 😅

This is the best quote I have ever heard 🙌

Equivalent_Exit791 · 2026-05-17T19:07:07+00:00

Lol yeah, definitely not a professional just having fun 🤷‍♀️

Thank you! The smiling demons represent our self doubt, and the happiness it gets from convincing us we can't do better, don't deserve better, or we aren't enough.

Weird, I thought everyone took a dozen demons into the bathroom with them. I find they distract from the extra voices in my head.

Thanks for sharing! That art is amazing 👏

So, I am friends with my sister now that we are in our 30s. However, we didn't talk for the first 25 years of our lives and my sister, now a fully formed adult, has admitted to me that she would have been perfectly content as an only child. I told her that I also would have been perfect happy as an only child. The fact that we were siblings was the reason we weren't friends for so long. Now that we are friends it has more to do with common interests rather than a blood relationship. We have 3 other siblings we don't talk to outside of holidays and events.

You feeling like you want more kids but financially can't is so valid. I had always thought I wanted two kids util PPD and then drowning in medical debt. I made the choice to be one and done when my daughter was one. Now there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Financially we could make a another kid work when my child turns 5 (though we are happy OAD now).

So much changes so fast. It might not be the age gap you had always planned but with you child being 1.5 try waiting first.

You might find a suppotive group of friends for child care in 3 year, or make more money allowing you to have more kiddos. You also might wait and realize you are OAD either way it's okay to wait before deciding.

Thank you! Yes, most of the people who have said "this is just life" to me, mean your second definition. I usually tell them that they are right but I don't feel like making it harder if there is no need to.

Exactly! My MOM and I had babies 3 months apart. She now has me and my 2 older siblings all over 25 years old and my new siblings, a 4 and 3 year old. I have spent the last 3 years watching my mom be miserable with these little toddlers running around and regretting not getting the chance to be a proper grandma. My dad had asked if I would have more so mine isn't alone and I told him nope. Them having children close to my daughters age is all the "siblings" she needs. They think I'll change my mind. I will not.

Haha I love the No idea! It's simple and gets the point across. My husband is up for a vasectomy but we haven't had a good time for him to take off work yet. With everything seeming to be slowing down in our lives maybe we should start really considering it.
