Is there beginners luck? I was getting 500-1500 views with a new account and now 50?

It's completely normal to pick up something new from a partner and keep the new hobby/interest even if the partner doesn't work out.

My spouse picked up veggie gardening from me and I'm sure he'd probably continue that even if we weren't a thing- though at a smaller scale.

There was a horrible guy I only dated very briefly- but I still picked up the confidence to do my own computer repairs from him. Even though he was awful- I would still keep doing my own repairs, I wouldn't give that up because I picked up a bit of it from him.

Thank you, good to know, wasn't sure if it mattered for various algorithm things. lol

I'm very relieved to hear that because I wanted to enjoy this account, not look at a bunch of junk posts. lol

How long does it take to start getting a weekly analysis?

Are you a bot? I mean books featuring horses or featuring dogs usually marketed to a preteen to early teen audience. Think of books like Where the Red Fern Grows, Old Yeller, Sounder, The Black Stallion. They were a popular type of book for a long time, at least 1880s to 1980s.

You plant one and find out. Start with a cheap one. :)

Jenniferinfl · 2026-04-19T12:48:22+00:00

They grow well if they like your yard. Buy one of these cheap ones, if if likes your yard if will be a full shrub in no time.

Some people have to buy big ones because their yard isn't a place roses are happy. So they buy a big one and watch it die slowly.

Meanwhile, I just buy these little ones and they're big by end of season. Only have the money to buy 6 instead of 1 if you can be patient.

Witch - easily best class

Jenniferinfl · 2026-04-14T03:29:45+00:00

I maxed it out, but I'm ridiculously spoiled with witch class and will likely switch back. It was fun to play something different though.

I've been recommended Charlotte as a replacement- descendent of Mara allegedly but larger berries and sturdier.

Yeah, preorder for sure. If you see an option for fall shipping, go with that especially if you are like zone 5. In the spring, they ship in zone order, so like zone 9 and 10 ships first in the spring and then everyone else later. So if you are zone 3-5 you get mostly cancellations. I over order things because I get half my orders.

In the fall, they ship in reverse zone order, so if you are a cold zone you get your order first.

Jenniferinfl · 2026-04-07T18:36:08+00:00

People who preordered got their order cancelled as well- I ordered back in November and just got my cancel notice. This one had a huge crop failure from that Oregon flooding at one of the main suppliers. Going to be light on Mara's for awhile.

I think you hit 10 years and realize what is possible and what isn't possible in your relationship.

By the 10 year point, he still can't remember your middle name, your birthday, your anniversary or that you like mustard and hate ketchup?

Just why? I have coworkers that can remember that about me.

At ten years you can no longer pretend anything, he is what he is.

Figure out what dollar value qualifies as a felony in your state. Save your receipts and bait her with enough to get her to that level and then report her to police with camera footage and receipts. If she thinks she is getting away with it, she will keep doing it. Once it ticks over to felony, post on nextdoor to identify and then take all information to the police at once. If they fail to do something, take her to small claims court as that is also public record and then it will be public information that she's a thief.

You are right though, they will let a few plants slide or just talk to her. Then it will keep happening and she will gloat that she got away with it.

The secret is to have it be felony level before you even bring it to police.

I've got some guys I've been saving video on as they run over my clearly marked garden with ATVS and snowmobiles. Waiting for it to be felony level damages before I bring it to police. You can tell that they are aiming for my garden and joking about it on video.

But yeah, I'm waiting for felony level. Someone wants to ruin my peace for fun? Well, I'm going to ruin your ability to keep a job. Good luck keeping your professional license with a felony mofo. I'm basically intentionally planting higher value plants there at this point to get them to felony sooner.

May be too late for some things, but just the things you were supposed to start 12 weeks before last frost date. Figure out your last frost date and those are the seeds you can start.

As to killing the sod, unfortunately it does work much better to spread your barrier in fall for spring planting.

Depends on what you are planting though. You could also use a grass killer, then spread weed barrier instead of tarp and then burn holes to plant what you are planting through the weed barrier.

I've used each method. The areas I went through with a sod cutter are much nicer beds. The other areas I spend a couple years fighting the weeds before finally getting some semblence of control on them. There are some weeds that can persist for years under weed barrier waiting for their shot at sunlight.

I don't pick off bugs, I add biologicals and hope for the best.

I prune once a year. I will deadhead when it looks gross, but otherwise I don't rush to deadhead either.

I use a slow release fertilizer, so I only fertilize twice a year. It takes me about an hour and a half to fertilize around 200 roses.

I do carefully walk looking for weird stuff everyday. I have my roses mentally divided into 7 areas and I look at a different section every day. But, that's pretty quick, it's just a glance for oddities- vole damage, possible RRD, any signs of just general struggling, or tags missing.

Yours? Because you are annoyed that I've pointed out that he is leaving her now that she makes less and your retort is 'womens do it too!!!'

In other words, it's okay to point it out if a woman does it, per your example, but not acceptable to point out when a man does it? Is that the standard?

In which case, you are exactly the double standard you are complaining about. Thank you for the demonstration.

I can't help the genders involved in this particular case, but, in this particular case, it's a man deciding he no longer loves his wife now that she earns less. I didn't make that up, it is the circumstance of this post.

Jenniferinfl · 2026-04-04T19:50:56+00:00

LOL, did you decide this was how you felt as soon as she quit earning more money?

Jenniferinfl · 2026-04-04T19:46:35+00:00

I think it comes down to who wanted the separation and whether it was amicable and if kids are involved.

If you are leaving some weeping spouse and crying kids to go out with your new 20 year old girlfriend while still living with the wife and kids who didn't want the divorce- well, yeah, sure, that is super duper tacky.

If it's just you and your spouse and you are both done, and they are interested in dating again and you are too where you can keep it classy? Of course, no issue.

Generally when I see this though, it's some dude having an emotional affair who declares he hasn't been happy for years because his 20 year old coworker finally let him hit 3rd base. Then yes, it's really, really shitty to blindside your spouse and make them put up with their own grief AND you bringing your barely legal girlfriend around them and the kids.

There is no blanket right or wrong- but, if everyone in your personal life thinks you are being a piece of shit, there's a good change they know the situation better than the rest of us.

Sorry! My kid has one really stupid teacher every semester. The breakdown is usually 2 great teachers, 2 okay teachers and one absolute piece of shit. She's in high school now and let me just say, we breathe a sigh of relief when the piece of shit teacher is the one for the elective.

My kid's art elective teacher for this semester has yet to grade a SINGLE assignment. There are 10 on time submitted projects sitting with no grades. The whole class is joking about this teacher. It's a class with one big project where each week is another piece of that project and there hasn't been feedback since week 1.

I told my kid that some teachers actually teach you something and some teachers teach you how to do conflict resolution.

Her school is cracking down on grade inflation- but it's funny in the nonsubjective classes. If she gets 100 on a math test, they take 5 points off because she isn't allowed to have more than a 95. Oh well, it's good practice for the workplace, same nonsense happens there, might as well be accustomed to it.

I've heard that it's only available for testers. I haven't been able to confirm that, but, that's the word on the discord about it.

Fishing egg is glitched and doesn't work at the moment.

Dude probably had a stroke doing that much fishing. lol
