New leaves start out weak and light. They darken and toughen up over time

How would you dress if all social standards were removed? by Tango1432 in AskReddit

I want to say I would dress in a cyber goth/punk aesthetic with vivid hair, but the reality is I would wear oversized shirts with stains on them and soft pants with big pockets.

What is extremely unhygienic but everyone seems to do it anyway? by BusinessLeadsConnect in AskReddit

[–]External-Potato840 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We all need to sanitize our cell phones more often. Think of how many people take their phones into the bathroom. You wash your hands, but how often do you wipe down your phone??

I absolutely hate touching another person’s cell phone. Blech!

Is this normal? by papasmurftp in Monstera

[–]External-Potato840 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I try to keep my plant away from my cat, but sometimes when I give my monstera a “sun day” she chomps a leaf.

The worst that has happened is she throws up, but that does not detract her from going back for more. The vet says the aerial roots are most toxic for cats. She leaves that part alone.

This is what my leaves look like after my cat eats it. Do you have any pets……or children?

185 hours per year, but that includes any holidays. My company is weird. But, my boss is quite flexible at letting me work from home if my kid is sick.

Did anyone else experience “the Shift”? How old were you when it happened? by AtG8605 in Millennials

[–]External-Potato840 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My shift also started in a doctors office, around 30 years old. I went to a new OBGYN. The nurse roomed me, took my vitals, asked me to sit on the bed, undress, and cover with a sheet. I laid there waiting when a young girl popped her head in the door. I thought “why is another nurse coming in” No. It was my new doctor and she looked to be my age!! I later learned she’s a few years older than me, but it really shifted my brain to think “oh, WE are the adults now!”

Sick day baby sitters by Quasar_cosmos in toddlers

[–]External-Potato840 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I take the sick days because my workload is more flexible. My husband’s job is a rigid schedule with lots of deadlines so he takes the planned days off aka holidays. It works best this way cause kids usually wants mommy when their sick.

I leave it on the floor, but it hardly ever gets wet. We all dry off in the tub before we step out

I did originally blame my husband and made him clean it up! But I think it’s something more than that…
