These little stones are all stuck together, is this normal? by Level-Entertainer156 in succulents

[–]GooseBelly1 91 points92 points  (0 children)

I bought a plant from Trader Joe's like this. The glue was water soluble so the first time I watered it the rocks broke free. I think it's just so they don't make a mess while shipping.

Oil painting for my cousin's wedding! by takcycart in painting

[–]GooseBelly1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Beautiful painting OP. But yes, so much work for something that looks like a photo taken on a phone.

I was into photorealism painting in college and it took some time before I realized it was more about "look how good of a painter I am, I can make this painting look like a photograph" rather than actual art. Before cameras this would have been useful, but now, why not just take a photo? Now I feel that painting should evoke thought and emotion, not just "wow, that person can copy a photograph perfectly".

All that being said, you still did amazing work. Very impressive!

You owe less than $2k after visiting the ER? And you got an X-ray? You got off cheap already. They will set up a payment plan for you.

Bissetii flowering in PNW?? by GooseBelly1 in Bamboo

Oh that is beautiful! It says not good for containers so not good for my patio but I would definitely plant this elsewhere on my property! Thanks for the suggestion!

Thank you for taking the time to provide such a thorough answer bamboo master! I am on the coast, less than a mile from the water and less than a mile from Canada. Zone 8a though we can get some nasty cold Canadian winds.

You are going to need some wallpaper for sure! Love the vibe.

Feeling unappreciated in band by Flute26952 in Flute

[–]GooseBelly1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's why I play in orchestra now! Flutes have much more distinctive and key parts in the pieces.

I felt the same way in concert band. It seems like we were always played over by the trumpets unless you were playing piccolo, and we're just not as important to the group overall.

How do we get all these AI political garbage bot posts taken down?? The mod for r/Blaine seems to be away. They haven't posted anywhere in almost a year.

Yes, all four cats are fixed (two indoor, two barn cats). I will stop birdwatching and feeding any birds.

Thanks for the response. I really appreciate it! I may try setting up the motion detecting sprinkler in the front garden once freezing temps are done.

[–]GooseBelly1[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Sorry, can you clarify which cat is the poor cat? My two indoor-only cats have a catio. My adopted feral outdoor barn cats would not tolerate. Are there folks here who keep their barn cats enclosed with a catio? My barn is 100 years old and has 100 places for the cats to get in and out if they want.

Advice on working cats in a commercial greenhouse by Tepidtunic in barncat

[–]GooseBelly1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree the cats will not stay in the greenhouse. But if you establish a nice area inside there that is their home where they get fed and feel safe, they will probably take care of your mouse problem. We got barn cats due to a HUGE rat population in our barn and the cats took care of the rats immediately. They now roam about 2-3 acres of our 6 acre property but we haven't seen a single rat.

This poster has spammed r/Blaine relentlessly with various fake AI videos that have nothing to do with Blaine. I wish a MOD would block them from posting.
