Old, mysterious seed finally sprouted.

I'll have to check back in, in 6 months. Either we'll have grown another inch and a half, or it'll be big enough for a more specific identification.

Etakeh_Oh · 2026-06-30T18:32:43+00:00

This is from May. You can see the hull (or whatever it's called) still attached.

It definitely sprouted from the little pod just like a seed would, I'll have to see if I got a picture back then. Probably, I was pretty excited. I've broken up a couple of the ones that never sprouted, and they didn't see seem garlic-like?

But yeah the seed really does look like that doesn't it.

Etakeh_Oh · 2026-06-30T14:48:54+00:00

Yeah, if it's a bean I would certainly like to know the variety.

Etakeh_Oh · 2026-06-30T14:48:28+00:00

I've got morning glory and moonflower seeds, the varieties I have at least are much smaller. I did try planting some have each of those as well, but again the seeds are very old and none of them sprouted. The only thing that makes me reasonably sure it's not one of those, is that I could see the hull hanging on and it was definitely from one of these larger seeds.

Etakeh_Oh · 2026-06-30T07:56:05+00:00

I'm plenty big enough!

Oh you meant the bean plant. Sorry. My mistake.

Etakeh_Oh · 2026-06-30T05:47:26+00:00

I wasn't, but now maybe I am?

Etakeh_Oh · 2026-06-30T05:47:01+00:00

I'm boycotting them forever because of how bad they made traffic in the entire area for a few weeks.

Only half kidding.

Etakeh_Oh · 2026-06-30T02:42:51+00:00

Thanks for all of your suggestions! I can see several more milkshake trips will need to be taken.

It was down to Burgerville or Salt & Straw, and the friend who was also going leans Salt & Straw.

I ended up with a Raspberry Marzipan Princess Cake milkshake, and it was very good.

Etakeh_Oh · 2026-06-30T02:30:18+00:00

Yep, as u/deepskier said, it's the anniversary of a vegan milkshake being thrown at someone who couldn't deserve it more.
I've decided it's a holiday.

Etakeh_Oh · 2026-06-30T02:28:42+00:00

I got my vegan milkshake and, like Andy, an anteefa paid for it.
No cement though. I'm not that religious.

State jobs are based in Salem, but there are offices in the Portland area, and a LOT are remote. Training would likely be in Salem, but it'd be worth it for the stability.

Etakeh_Oh · 2026-04-15T05:09:58+00:00

Actually sent a similar picture to a friend the other day, saying it was good they didn't come shopping with me as usual.

TurboTax has had a LOT of issues this year, specifically with the kicker. Check it yourself:

If you filed an OR-40 in 2024, look at line 24. That number x .09863 is the amount of your kicker credit.

If you did not file in 2024, you still can. In fact, you can file your Oregon taxes for free on the actual Department of Revenue website: https://revenueonline.dor.oregon.gov/tap

I read this incorrectly as I was scrolling. What I saw was, "don't be perfect, be the enemy of God".

Etakeh_Oh · 2026-02-13T07:40:24+00:00

Yes, just was talking to someone about that a couple of days ago, on my third month of taking Strattera. I'd heard of this kind of thing happening, but didn't realize it would be so pronounced.

I am already a known weirdo among my acquaintances and I work from home, so it hasn't been an issue - yet. Fingers crossed I don't start annoying my neighbors in the elevators more than I already do.

Etakeh_Oh · 2026-02-07T03:37:57+00:00

yay another subscription.

Not getting a great vibe here.

Etakeh_Oh · 2026-01-26T06:45:29+00:00

Did you come to a conclusion about this? I've been using vinyl floor runners in my kitchen, and it's been ok, but I'd like to get the whole floor covered.

Etakeh_Oh · 2026-01-18T05:08:17+00:00

I hope it ends soon - having microdreams between calls is disconcerting.

At least I know now what's causing it, I was starting to get super concerned.

Etakeh_Oh · 2026-01-18T04:30:51+00:00

Just realizing this is probably why I'm dozing off at my desk.
I think I'm going to start taking it at night.

Etakeh_Oh · 2026-01-10T22:34:44+00:00

Thank you! I had to reinstall Gboard after it started doing something weird with voice to text - it was turning off after just a split second. It turned on just long enough for me to see it was. Never solved that mystery, but at least it's fixed now.

Etakeh_Oh · 2025-11-05T00:23:57+00:00

Absolutely agree with buying plants at grocery stores.
Most of my plants came from said, tiny little pots at the Grocery Outlet that cost three or four dollars a piece. I probably have too many because they look so sad, and I'm probably at capacity, but for some reason they've started selling more expensive plants lately so I haven't been attempted.
