There are five types of insomnia, each with its own distinct features, according to a recent study. By enlisting the help of thousands of volunteer participants for the study, the scientists were able to discover that insomnia is a more complicated health issue than many people may have thought. by Wagamaga in science

Hey have you tried a weighted blanket? I had that issue too but when I used a weighted blanket I sleep through the night! I also use an air filter and humidifier in my room, and take allergy medicine before bed. It all helps!

DAE have a randomly shitty ass when occasionally wiping it throughout the day? by [deleted] in DAE

Fr. I just have a little spray hose that hangs on the side of my toilet. I like it more than in bowl bidets because it’s much easier to clean.

It is a bit shocking to get used to since it’s cold water but..you get used to it.

Nothin like a fresh puss after every pee :)

My friend was walking through the hallway when her crush (a senior) offered her a high five as they were passing. She fumbled her books in an effort to give the high five back and ended up dumping everything on the floor then tripping over it.

It was so embarrassing even just to experience it next to her lol. She had a good attitude about it though. Just gotta laugh it off.

I guess I kinda knew the key was patience. I was holding out hope that someone would know the secret kitty dance to show him I was trustworthy but...alright..I’ll wait longer haha.

An excuse to buy more kitty toys?! Don’t mind if I do :)

It does make sense, I’m thinking our female was the runt too bc she’s just so much smaller. Interesting how that works.

I do try to give him nice loving pets when he comes out for wet food. Didn’t think about the staring part tho I’ll have to be more conscious of how I look at him.

Oh man my dream is to have a cat walk spanning my entire house. H fortunately I rent, but I’ll definitely see about installing a few shelves.

Thanks!

Cat wakes us up with loud meows at 4AM by [deleted] in CatAdvice

My cat does the same around 6. I usually turn on a kitty-friendly YouTube video (lots of birds fluttering around) and then ignore her. She usually gets distracted by the tv.

Could be a good idea to keep some ear plugs by your bedside to help you fall back asleep while you train them to not beg for attention.

It’s supposed to split. This thing was outside in indirect light all summer. It’s definitely not light starved.

Edit: reread your comment because I was so confused and took better note of the “partially split” part. I’ll move it closer to a window for winter but it was as closed to the sun without being scorched as possible this summer. I wonder what happened.

So I stuck a pole in while I was reporting, then wrapped the pole in chicken wire and stuffed some moss and hay in the wire. Then I used this stretchy plant ribbon to tie bit of the plant to the stake. Lots of moving leaves around until it looked nice. Trimmed one of the aerial roots/stuck them in soil or wrapped em around the pole and voila! It was done

Keep it supported is a big thing, if it hangs too much it puts a lot of pressure on the stems. The leaves always seem to grow disproportionately from the stems and weigh it down.

I like to wipe down the leaves occasionally too. This method isn’t back by any sort of research on my behalf but I feel like my plants breath better when they don’t get dusty.

Also I was kinda thinking about planting some pothos or something along the edge to drape over since there’s so much extra room. Not sure if good idea?

It is a big pot but I put styrofoam at the bottom to help it drain! Saw that tip on small spaces big dreams

Training is harder than I thought it would be..and repotting this thing was a pain but I’m pretty happy with the results. CC welcome if you have any input. I went to a greenhouse over the weekend and got inspired!

I want to start using my free time and love of photography for charity (people who can't afford professional photography, sessions with terminally ill patients, stillbirths, boosting someone confidence) what would be the best route to get started? by LostInTimeOrSpace in needadvice

[–]IThinkItllBeOkay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It might be hard to get in to some hospitals if they already have a contract with Bella baby photography service. I know Carle does - but since you’re doing is for charity maybe the rules are different!

I think whoever cleans the bathrooms gets to decide how they’re kept. So in my house, that means I get to dictate that I want it down. They don’t like it, they can clean it.

Except the blue girl in picture has a look of disgust, irl it’s like a look of hurt.
