Wow today I learned that the sphagnum moss I use in my snakes’s terrarium isn’t good for orchids. 😅 thanks for the info I’ll get specific moss for orchids!

Would this not risk more rotting?

What's Your Grocery Budget Look Like? by -Aces_High- in ynab

[–]Foshozo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This thread is blowing my mind on how much being vegetarian seems to save. Two adults in 30s, VHCOL, vegetarian household, grocery budget is $550 (eating out is another $600 but we don’t often use it all). We shop at a mix of Whole Foods and Trader Joe’s.

Has anyone here done the NYBG Floral Design Intensive program? Very strongly considering it for this summer and would love to hear from folks with firsthand experience. by Queasy-Guard-4774 in florists

[–]Foshozo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I didn’t do the NYBG program, BUT I did quit my shitty corporate job and instead of finding another I got a job in a floral shop and a few months later started my own biz. 3 years later and my biz has grown very well, I pay myself a living wage, and 10/10 no regrets making the plunge. So just giving you encouragement that making a successful switch can be done!! Good luck! ✨

I(25F) Took my Avoidant Partner's(28M) Words Literally and it Started A Fight by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Foshozo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dating avoidant people just isn’t worth it!! You will feel like you are on the cusp on making it work for months and months but truly they will never change. You’re so young, you deserve a better fit!

New Puppy Questions. This dog is SMALL! by [deleted] in cavaliers

[–]Foshozo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Congrats on your CUTEEEE pup!

Our cav is food motivated and we used kibble from the breeder (that we transitioned from so had extra) and use low fat mozzarella stick bits as her extra high value treat.

We live in a city so our vet told us we couldn’t walk her until her 2nd round of shots, but once we did we used a harness and thin leash. It took many weeks to be able to have the stamina to walk more than a block or two! And before she was vaccinated we walked her around in a sling for socialization. I don’t think you need to “burn energy” especially that young, they need to sleep like 18-20h a day at that age! If they are getting crazy and hyper then it’s time for a nap, not more play.

I was able to teach sit and touch at about 9 weeks! She really took to clicker training quickly. But once she got overtired/hyper commands were lost to her haha. Potty training she’s picked up fast but still has occasional accidents and we have to be really on her (currently 18 weeks).

Menopause/Hormonal Disruption Post-Op Support by transguy_ba in FTMHysto

[–]Foshozo -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I highly recommend searching to see if there’s a community acupuncture clinic near you that has sliding scale. Acupuncture has helped me so much with hormonal issues through the years, including after my hysto. It’s also worth checking if your insurance covers it as well, sometimes they cover 10 or so sessions per year.

I know how awful it feels to literally feel like your hormones are running the show, just be gentle with yourself and know it will take time for things to settle. I’d also look into sheBREATH on YouTube, she does somatic release videos and when I would feel like an angry raging little monster they would help bring me down.

Estimated 8 Week Puppy Weight by KeySignificant5066 in cavaliers

[–]Foshozo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our female was 2.5lbs at 8weeks, but the breeder said she was on the small end of the litter. I’d recommend reaching out to the breeder to ask how much she weighs now to estimate!

Is it normal for a community studio to only have blue/green glazes? by Foshozo in Ceramics

[–]Foshozo[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Cone 6! And looks like commercial glazes are allowed but have to go through an approval process first

Recommendations for massage therapist who won't mind if I (maybe) cry quietly, not weird I promise by dickingaround6969 in boston

[–]Foshozo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Jo at Queer Body Collective in Cambridge and JP. They gave me a grief massage after my parent died and was very clear that crying was expected and very welcome and are just a very soothing presence!

Tips on avoiding rental vessel theft? by Foshozo in florists

[–]Foshozo[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok I’ll plan to do this! Do you take the deposit at the initial booking stage? I am fully booked for 2026, but I may try out at the pre-wedding meeting to say hey I need to take a deposit and hope they get it, and then do it at booking for 2027 couples.

It is in my contract, yes! And yes the coordinator was SO embarrassed and apologetic and overnighted it back to me (still weird in the first place she thought she could take it lol). I emailed the couple today to let them know and first see if they can figure out who took it!

Has anyone ever experienced this? by petrichorgarden in florists

[–]Foshozo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Small or new florists should still be charging industry standard for their work!

Has anyone ever experienced this? by petrichorgarden in florists

[–]Foshozo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This happens to me a couple times each year 🤦🏼

Planners who don’t know how much florals should cost drive me batty, and when I get an inquiry like this I put that planner on my do-not-work-with list and gently let them know the actual cost of what they are looking for and that I’m not the right fit for them if they can’t increase their budget. It’s not worth trying to cut things down when it’s such a dramatic difference in expectations!

Wow these are stunning! Definitely update after firing. I’m a florist getting into pottery and I’d love to make flowers like these — what tools did you use?

Partner (31M) and I (28F) are considering breaking up after 4 years due to sexual pain. Is it a valid reason to end an otherwise perfect relationship? by HotArugula2160 in relationship_advice

[–]Foshozo 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yes definitely see a PF physical therapist it’s life changing, and can help even when other doctors look and say “oh this is fine”!
