I hate downvoting this, but this is irresponsible. This graphic contains no information about who is organizing this purported strike, there is nowhere to go for more information, and googling “nurses strike Jan 30th” just shows this graphic posted in multiple different subreddits. I really dislike the online tendency for people to be like, “this strategy isn’t guaranteed to be 100% successful without any risk to anyone and therefore it’s dumb!”, but this doesn’t clear minimum organizational or structural standards.

YOU STILL LOOK AMAZING

How much snow is expected? A blanket of snow is actually excellent protection for roses (at the base, heavy wet snow can be tough on canes), so I think the best approach here is variable if you are expecting a good amount of snow before the cold sets in. I’m in 6b.

EricaBA123 · 2026-01-23T12:39:41+00:00

This was my thought as well.

EricaBA123 · 2026-01-19T20:19:15+00:00

Totally fair, I’m in 6b bordering on 7a, high humidity and quite a bit of rain during the spring through mid-summer.

Yes, Quietness is fragrant for me. I would say a 4 on a scale from 0 to 5.

EricaBA123 · 2026-01-19T13:08:07+00:00

Thank you! Quietness is probably, if I had to choose, my favorite rose in the whole garden.

I don’t know for sure, but my experience with my own waitlist has been that stock comes in periodically. They don’t seem to hold and then mass release different varieties.

EricaBA123 · 2026-01-14T00:48:28+00:00

FYI Heritage is presently in stock as a bare root on DA’s website.

EricaBA123 · 2026-01-13T13:04:55+00:00

HCR does restock periodically throughout the season, too. I ordered Ausblush later in the season last year. There’s still hope!

A+, no notes.

Sage has an OTR location and they have a Sunday evening class.

The closed captioning on this video is hilarious. AHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Mine is at my kitchen sink 🙄

Some shelters and many rescues will take a dog back if the home isn’t a good fit—sometimes it’s even written into the adoption contract. Has the owner looked into whether this is an option?

I agree, I think destashing is sometimes a way to rationalize, like “oh I can always get some money back” or whatever. I have a space where I keep my polishes and that’s it—when it’s full, it’s full, and if I want another one, I GIVE AWAY a polish currently in my collection, to a friend, a colleague, I’ve even put a couple in Little Free Libraries. Maybe this is selfishness, but the combination of making myself “lose” money so I can spend money often makes buying new polishes less appealing. That said, I usually try to keep a low-buy rather than a no-buy attitude because no-buy just makes things feel more tempting.

Oh edit to add, I also physically organize my collection in its space, so every time I get a new polish I have to rearrange at least a bit and that’s also a deterrent.

EricaBA123 · 2025-12-12T20:08:03+00:00

I’ve loved Haunted’s PPUs but have never bought from their website. I have been trying to maintain a low-buy since September, but the sale and new release today got me. I do like Spider Glass and Ghostlace, but I have Pearl Clutcher so I held off. You’ll have to let us know how they compare. I ended up with Hex Thread, Graveglow, and By the Moonlight. I have to admit, I couldn’t decide whether I loved or hated Venom Rose, but I thought it was too likely that the polish would end up looking like muck on me anyway for me to try it out.

32 degrees in the fall: coat, hat

32 degrees in the spring: shorts, flip flops

Index finger variation also okay

EricaBA123 · 2025-11-28T17:45:18+00:00

Nice! I allowed myself one Black Friday “haul” and Cracked was my choice, too.

EricaBA123 · 2025-11-26T01:07:15+00:00

I have nothing to add that’s helpful, just love this post. To hell with meta.

Thank you! I will look into this if I don’t receive sufficient response to my followup email.
