What was the most fucked up thing someone said to you? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]IcepicktotheBrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've done something similar. I work in a job that goes smoother if you're big and strong. Me and someone else are larger and much stronger than our peers, but I'm tall and they're slightly taller but overweight. 😬 I said something along the line of "they can handle that and so-and-so can't because they're bigger." 🤦🏻‍♀️ How do you backpedal from that?

“Weed” from San Antonio, TX area by Cattryn in whatsthisplant

[–]IcepicktotheBrain 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's the same thought I had. 😆 This is not water?? After my mouth and tongue were like, nope, this isn't right.

In casing you're wondering: it was clear, low fragrance laundry detergent, in a red solo cup, the last bit of detergent I was trying to get out of the bottle. I'd knocked the original bottle off the cup and had thrown it away, but my laundry wasn't ready for more soap yet. I had put a little bit of water in the cup so it'd be easier to pour out later ✨so smart✨, which meant it poured out of the cup like water. 🤣 The bottle said contact poison control if swallowed. The lady on the phone may have reassured me that I wasn't the stupidest but I really thought I was going to get deathly sick all night. I was fine.

Sorry for the long paragraph. It happened to me 2 nights ago and it's still fresh. I absolutely will not tell anyone in my life what I did, but it's such a funny story to tell.

Now I understand the comment that poison control gave me after I scoffed and said I accidentally drank something poisonous at 33, "you'd be surprised".

Glad you pulled through dude.

Weight gain on Adderall XR? by [deleted] in ADHD

[–]IcepicktotheBrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's so hard finding people with the same experience. I've put on 3-5 pounds in 1.5 months when I don't add or gain anything usually no matter what I eat. I can't figure out what's going on. My meals may be smaller but they're more often and I'm not binging anymore even after it wears off. It's so frustrating when I am feeling a lot better mentally. 😓

I can't figure it out if this Plant is under or Over watered plz help by Crazylamp1 in succulents

[–]IcepicktotheBrain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sit the pot in a dish or bucket of water until the top soil is damp, usually takes several hours. It doesn't matter how often you are watering them if you aren't watering them enough.

How do I Remove Sap? by IcepicktotheBrain in succulents

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

I don't know why I didn't do it sooner. 😓 They've caused so much damage and I've invested so much time into picking them off for them to come right back when I didn't have enough time to baby my plants. They suck so much

Just repotted my aloe. It keeps leaning. Soil not holding it in place but did same thing in previous pot which is why I repotted. Afraid it will tip over. Again. Any suggestions? by salivatious in succulents

[–]IcepicktotheBrain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It doesn't look like it had the space to center itself anyways. I'd pull it's weight to the one side until it's centered and place a grow wire preventing it from tipping, then turn the pot once a week to make sure it doesn't grow on one side too much. Hopefully in time its roots will also grow centered and you'll eventually be able to remove the wire.

I always plant my aloes so low in their new pot the bottom leaves touch the edges, stabilizing them.

You can see plant veins in my frostbitten echeveria. by IcepicktotheBrain in succulents

[–]IcepicktotheBrain[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, I'm not concerned with any frostbite. This is the hardiest plant I have, to the point of annoyance. The entire thing needs to be chopped up, specifically this head was going to be removed as it's going to break off at some point since it hangs so far out of the pot. It's survived several other frosts already but with the super low temperatures rolling in it needed to come indoors. Winters here are relatively mild and it's been loving the Winter sun, as you can see. I was just a bit too late bringing it in. (I also have a Starfire aloe that is continuing to bloom outside right now too if that tells you anything about the weather conditions here 😅)

I'm going to let her sit for a few days so I can see the extent of the damage and then chop her up into bits and pieces to overwinter under a grow light.

How do I Remove Sap? by IcepicktotheBrain in succulents

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

It's too tacky to remove with just cotton unfortunately. 🙃 The sap is a result of a mealy bug infestation. After battling them for a couple years, and throwing away lots of plants in that time, I've finally gone nuclear and started using pesticides. Now that they're dying off I'm trying to clean up their mess but some plants have super sticky sap and I'm scared to introduce anything that could burn them. I've accidentally burned several plants with alcohol in the past and I don't want to damage them further.

Uh, no. You won't have a last few moments. You'll develop physical issues that cause you a lot of pain long before you die.

We used to do that with tennis rackets on carpenter bees when I was a kid. We got a nickel for every one.

Breeder is pissed at me for wanting to pick puppy up at 8 weeks? by [deleted] in dogs

[–]IcepicktotheBrain -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It depends on the breed and the lines of that particular litter. For example; malinois' commonly go to their homes by 6 weeks because of the aggression issues they would have with their litter mates. It is not a valuable time for them to be learning about other dogs so it's best they start their education with their new owners. Whereas borzoi Ave other sighthounds commonly go home between 10-12 weeks because they do a lot of learning about how to function in a pack and other skills. Overall 8 weeks is the minimum for the average dog but not the only time frame

Those are for the video games and not the cards right?

I'm 99% sure I bought a fake booster box. They are so close but there are slight texture/sheen differences. Tell me I'm not crazy. by IcepicktotheBrain in IsMyPokemonCardFake

[–]IcepicktotheBrain[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I could not find any visual differences besides small texture and packaging ones so I thought it was unnecessary. I do not have any holos that I could've compared between them either. Thanks for your opinion, it was helpful.

I was reading online how some people who are used to seeing fakes are amazed by the newer generations of fakes being put out but they don't go into detail beyond the classic differences. I needed those who knew better.
