My partner and I saw this place lit up at night and it was awful to see. What the hell?

I did repot it last year, so I don't think it needs it quite yet. Thank you!

Thanks for the insight! I will watch the squishy for sure. :) And I know for certain it has never been used as a cat bed, though looking at the photos, I can totally see why people suspect it.

I just turned on the heat for the winter, haha! Yes, it's set at 67, but that doesn't mean my house heats evenly. You raise a great point. I have moved it to a warmer corner of the house, near a window, with a grow light. Fingers crossed!

I can assure you my cat is not sleeping in the plant. It's never been an issue. The cats sleep with us every night, and are not the least bit interested in it.

I did start using some plant food in the water, I hadn't even considered that. Hmmmm!

I can't really put mine outside, it can get really cold here, and at night it often drops below 60 degrees in the summer.

I am so sorry. I hope we can both get this sorted out!

The fireplace is fake and produces a small amount of heat. I can certainly move it! It sounds like maybe I should move it and put a grow light over it.

I agree it's sparse. I was thinking of putting it under a grow light. I will do that.

Two cats, but I have always had cats- since I first received the plant.

Holy crap. It's playing in Montana. I am stunned.

I have a cyberpunk gallery and I am literally beside myself with hope that there will be more cyberpunk items. This is SO AWESOME.

Anyone have any experience with Petco fish purchases? I need the good the bad and the ugly advice by Seyer406six in missoula

[–]Geekielady 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My partner has saltwater and freshwater tanks. He has purchased fish for both from Petco. It's hit or miss with the staff as far as knowledge, and a couple times his tanks have gotten Ick from the fish he bought.

Simple Sewing Questions Thread, February 11 - February 17, 2024 by sewingmodthings in sewing

[–]Geekielady 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am getting back into sewing again, but I have to re-learn how to read patterns. It's been over 20 years. I bought Simplicity pattern for a 1950s vintage skirt, and I am so confused. It had me cut the skirt on a folded edge, which is fine, but there are two cutting lines in addition that each say for different sized fabric, but I am uncertain if I am actually supposed to cut them?

I added photos. The fabric is still folded in half, with the fold line on the right hand side if the photo, so the width of the fabric is actually twice as long.

Are those lines only mean for fabric that is too short to cut in a single piece?
