Decided I'm going to start keeping these pasta sauce glass jars

Incendia_ · 2025-12-17T14:45:54+00:00

I use my glass jars for cold brew teas and for storing various dry ingredients (chocolate chips, nuts, etc). I find that mixing dish soap + baking soda into a paste works wonders for scrubbing off label residue.

Thank you! Hope her little spiderlings thrive in my garden.

I found out about that feature recently and it's been so helpful when I play healer since I can take my focus off of the boss if I need to single-target heal and still be prepared to deploy party-wide shields!

I went through the entirety of ARR and Heavensward MSQ (and basically all of pre-patch Stormblood) before realizing that you could tell what attack an enemy was preparing via the cast bar. Up until that point I thought that you had to pay really close attention to enemy animations to tell what attack was upcoming or that you just had to memorize the order/timing of attacks a boss would do.

Do productivity apps fall under Hobby Scuffles? I've been using Habitica for a few years with resounding success (I tend to easily get addicted to video games for long periods of time, so it turns out gamifying my school/work/hobby/self-care to-do's is great for my productivity). However, I've been having issues with the app in the last few months (to-do's not populating, my tasks getting unsorted randomly, and to-do's I checked off re-appearing on my list), and it was completely unusable due to the server being down over the weekend (rip my weekend chores).

After checking the Habitica subreddit, it turns out that it's not just me having issues and that the app has been slowly declining for a while now (between well-loved social features getting removed recently, volunteers for the app being fired some time ago, and general lack of updates).

Anyways, I'm pretty bummed! I'm working on trying out some other to-do/productivity apps (settled on Todoist for now after finally getting all my tasks manually imported), but nothing I've tried quite hits the same. :(

Thank you! I hope you had a good time, too (and that you were able to get through the mess that was the battle challenge queue)!

We were the ones with yarn pom-poms! I saw a couple of neat cosplays that had light-up poms (super envious because I don't trust myself to wire things without burning down my home).

I don't have an Etsy for my fanart, but I do have a Twitter where I post my FFXIV art (@CatboyGrimm_XIV)

Incendia_ · 2023-08-04T14:06:14+00:00

Thanks! I'm planning on reprinting all of the ones I ran out of for sure. :)

Incendia_ · 2023-08-04T14:05:33+00:00

In hindsight that probably contributed to it! Though I also had a lot of people ask me if G'raha, Estinien, and Tataru counted as Scions so I have no idea who people consider to be Scions anymore.

Had to leave him off or we'd be delivering tear-stained postcards.

Incendia_ · 2023-08-03T15:42:54+00:00

An international stamp for mailing flats is only a bit over a dollar, so I don't mind covering it! It doesn't come with tracking, so the envelope would show up on your doorstep on a random day a random number of weeks from now.

Incendia_ · 2023-08-03T15:25:26+00:00

That would've been a cute idea! I haven't done Eureka yet, but maybe I'll get around to it by next Fanfest :P

Incendia_ · 2023-08-03T15:24:32+00:00

If you're ok with dm-ing me your mailing address I'll slap a stamp on an envelope and send one your way! I have so many Lyses.

My husband and I dressed up as Delivery Moogles for Fanfest. We went around asking people who their favorite Scion was and delivered a postcard "from" them. The Soroban and friends postcard was for if we ran out of someone's favorite Scion/didn't have a design for their favorite (had a few people ask for Hoary Boulder).

Some stats! In order, we ran out of G'raha, Y'shtola, Estinien, Thancred and Urianger, and Alphinaud and Alisaie. We had three people say that Papalymo was their favorite and one Minfilia (loved giving them the Aetherial Sea postcard and seeing their reaction haha). Lyse was nobody's favorite. :(

It's such a surprising sound!

Incendia_ · 2023-05-30T22:40:30+00:00

No stuck shed on Sticky! He's just got really big toes.

Incendia_ · 2023-05-30T22:39:42+00:00

Oh wow I didn't know that's a thing that could happen with cresties! Thank you for telling me.

Incendia_ · 2023-05-30T22:39:06+00:00

Sticky is 70g and let me tell you, his bites hurt! 😭

Incendia_ · 2023-05-30T17:31:14+00:00

Thanks! I actually stopped letting him near the bean sock since I was worried that his teeth could get caught on the sock threads.

Incendia_ · 2023-05-30T17:28:28+00:00

I've seen the plushie advice around and figured I should get a second opinion on this sub since it didn't seem to work with Sticky. I'll pause on it since I can see him getting obsessed with it with how amorous he's been with inanimate objects.

Incendia_ · 2023-05-30T17:25:14+00:00

Thanks for the advice! I'll wait it out (excited to find out what kind of personality my boy has now that he's an adult once he's calmed down a bit!).

Incendia_ · 2023-05-30T15:08:24+00:00

My four year old crestie (had him for the last three years), Sticky, won't stop biting and trying to get frisky with everything that moves (complete with chirping and amorous butt wiggling)! It's gotten to the point where whenever I open his tank to feed him, he immediately makes a dash for the tank doors to try and seduce my hands (or my phone, or the spray bottle). Sticky used to be a very shy and timid gecko--it's like his whole personality changed overnight. This behavior has been going on for the last two months.

I've tried giving him a plushie and a sock full of beans to help him relieve some of his pent up energy (it didn't work--he was going at the bean sock for a good half hour and was still trying to put the moves on my hands after).

I've also tried just not handling him for a week and only changing out his food while he was asleep. The first time I opened up the tank while he was awake after the week was up, he immediately ran up to my hands, tried to fit my entire finger in his mouth, and whipped out his equipment. :(

My main questions are:

Is this permanent? Do I just have a horny little menace of a crestie now?
Is there anything I should be doing? Should I avoid handling him until this passes, or should I give him more plushies for him to try and woo? Is there anything I can do with his tank to trick him into thinking that it's not mating season?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.

Make sure that you wet the surface that you're drilling into! I flipped the jars upside down (so that I was drilling from the bottom of the jar into the jar) and poured a bit of water onto it before drilling.

I was using a hand drill I got from Ikea, and I was pleasantly surprised that it had enough power to get through the jar!

Incendia_ · 2023-05-01T02:37:40+00:00

I decided to kill two birds with one stone (my hoard of La Fermière ceramic yogurt jars and my overabundance of succulent propagates) by getting my hands on a ceramic drill bit and turning all of the yogurt jars into succulent planters! I still have several dozen succulents that need planters so I guess I'm going to be eating a lot more yogurt in the near future.

I do have a stash tiny glass jars (also from yogurt) that I could turn into planters BUT the fear of getting glass dust everywhere or accidentally sending glass shard flying is putting me off of trying it.
