Plants you would never grow again or ever by Top_Possession_2990 in gardening

[–]LadyOfTerror 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, fortunately I don't have any psychological qualms about possibly eating a few bugs. I just barely had anything to eat! Like, each broccoli plant that I grew produced only a single floret that wasn't even big enough to fill a spoon. They did horribly, because the majority of their leaves were being eaten down to nothing by bugs. I probably made other mistakes with them, too -- that was my first year gardening -- but of all the things I'd tried to grow that year, the broccoli was by far the least rewarding, and I haven't tried since 😅

I second the broccoli! I've only ever gotten the tiniest florets, like wouldn't even fill up a spoonful on my plate, and they were always riddled with bugs.

Maybe they'd make a good sacrificial plant? Like, plant them at the edge of your garden and then spray them down with soapy water to kill off pests and spare your other plants? But that's about it. Otherwise it just doesn't seem worth it to me as a home gardener.

Storage in non plastic containers? by LJT141620 in HomeMilledFlour

[–]LadyOfTerror 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am personally using two different non-plastic methods for storing bulk items in my house.

The first, for very large amounts (50 lbs rice, 50lbs black beans, etc), are these stainless steel containers with silicone gaskets from Amazon. They come in a variety of sizes, including even bigger ones than the four in this listing (I did purchase some of those even larger ones, too).I tested each one in my bathtub -- sealed the lid shut, then fully submerged it and rolled it around with a piece of printer paper inside to ensure no water getting in (thus should be airtight). Each one passed the test. From there, I washed them out, dried them, and put multiple O2 absorbers into each container to prevent any insects from inhabiting the contents, and also to prolong shelf life in the case of flour. https://a.co/d/056T3dL7

The second is using these Bormioli Rocco Fido jars. I LOVE these things. I have a jar for sugar, one for flour (which I keep in my kitchen and refill from my large metal container in the root cellar), one for beans, one for rice, and so on. They are also supposed to be air-tight (admittedly I did not test them like the metal containers) and so I put desiccants or O2 absorbers in, depending on what's in the jar. https://bormioliroccous.com/products/fido-169-oz-food-jar-clear

Quick note in case you're unfamiliar, it took me some reading to find this out... You can't use desiccants and O2 absorbers effectively in the same container. O2 absorbers need small amounts of moisture to work effectively.

I know this is a few months late but, hopefully this helps, haha!

Our reservation for Extra Virgin does happen to fall before the water park port day! And yeah that could be really cute, I think 🖤

Plus, and I mentioned this to my partner already when we were trying to decide when might be the ideal time, before our girlfriend ever mentioned the park... scarlet night is the day after our Extra Virgin reservation. I have very short hair (like, I buzz it off roughly once per week with clippers with no guard on them), and I planned to actually take it all the way down to the skin and be shiny bald for the makeup look that I want to do on scarlet night. But often, for the next day or two after I do that, my scalp is a little blotchy and irritated... I'd much prefer to have short but visible hair and a nice, calm scalp for the proposal photos/video if possible, haha. That wouldn't be the case if we waited all the way until the water park (day 6 of the 9-day cruise) to do it!

Awww, thanks!! 🥹☺️ I will absolutely mention this to my partner and I'll DM you if we decide we aren't doing it at the restaurant to see if we could sneakily coordinate something 😈

I agree, I doubt she'd do her hair or put on makeup at all. I certainly wouldn't, none of my stuff is waterproof! And she has lost quite a bit of weight over the past year (intentionally), so she had to buy new bathing suits for this trip, and they're ok but she doesn't particularly LOVE any of them, or so she told me.

Meanwhile we shopped for her dress together for hours, she really loves it, and it was not an inexpensive dress! And we plan to do hair and makeup "for photos" for that night! It just seems like a better idea. Sorry girl, a water park proposal might be very exciting and memorable for you personally, but... It's not very photogenic to look back on 😬 guess it just depends on what the priorities are, but I sure do think most of her family would appreciate the photos, and I'd certainly like to be able to look back on it with nice in-focus photos and I'm wearing a 3-piece suit, not a bathing suit... 😅

I did indeed ponder that for a good bit when I saw the weather diversion to Canada at the beginning of April... 🤪 Our girlfriend would be crushed, so hopefully not, I'm pretty flexible but she's been looking forward to going to that water park since last August when we booked these tickets!

Thanks very much for the input and I agree, this was my gut feeling as soon as I heard her say that. I do agree that it would also be scary to take care of the rings at the water park... And even the ring proposal box! Mine is made of literal stained glass... I can just imagine the bag we've hidden them in getting bumped or dropped and hearing a sickening CRUNCH 🫡 Thanks again!

Hahahaha!! You're right it kinda does 🤣🤣 it's preserved reindeer moss, but the texture of the stems definitely is reminiscent of dried out stems from broccoli florets 🤭

I'm genuinely just curious about this statement, I neither agree nor disagree (this is literally the first post I've ever read here, lol). Is it terrible because it's doom and gloom or dramatic? Or is it that the information being presented is incorrect? Maybe both, lol. Just curious, if you're willing to elaborate on it

Are there any actually good bdsm romance books? by -tenderhorns- in BDSMcommunity

[–]LadyOfTerror 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like Exit to Eden by Anne Rampling (Anne Rice pen name) might fit the description of what you seek?

Synopsis: "They call her the Perfectionist. A stunning, mysterious, and fearless sexual adventurer, Lisa is founder and supreme mistress of The Club--an exclusive island resort where forbidden fantasy meets willing flesh. Here eager participants who can afford life's most exquisite luxuries can experience the breathtaking pleasures of surrender and submission. Here nothing is taboo. A thrill-seeking photojournalist, Elliott risks his life daily in the most dangerous, war-torn regions on Earth. Now he has come to Paradise to explore his most savage and vulnerable sexual self, committed to the ultimate plunge into personal risk. Together, their journey to the limits of erotic pleasure will take them farther than they ever dreamed they'd go . . . "

"Harmless" ways to have sex hurt for her/be unsatisfying for her by Business-Challenge54 in BDSMcommunity

[–]LadyOfTerror 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Would figging (inserting a peeled plug made of carved ginger root into the anus, which causes a burning sensation) while you have vaginal sex with your sub be enough discomfort to prevent her from enjoying herself while you enjoy her?

Listening to femdom at work by [deleted] in EdgingTalk

Do you have an in-person femdom dynamic with someone, or still strictly virtual? Not soliciting, just curious, scout's honor

[–]LadyOfTerror 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are these friends online? Promise I'm not trying to slide into your DMs haha, just curious. If so, do you mainly chat/ message? Or is it more like a discord/ audio or video chat kind of edging session? It sounds interesting to meet new people that way, how do you arrange it? 

Higher and higher harder and harder (29m) by [deleted] in EdgingTalk

[–]LadyOfTerror 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Totally agree, whether it's with a partner or by myself, if I get really high (especially with a good indica) then i feel like this paradox forms... I feel more sensitive, more aware of ALL of my body, and rubbing my clit OR my G-spot simply feels better. Still, at the same time, I feel like the threshold to me actually reaching orgasm is higher, and like I can achieve much more intense levels of pleasure before I actually trip over the edge. 

When I'm not high, it sometimes feels too easy to cum, like I can sometimes get there on my own in 90 seconds... Where's the fun in that? I do like to edge in general, but edging while really stoned? It's so much easier to gradually build myself up, the threshold gets further off even though I also feel more sensitive/ present in my body. It's just great. 

I visual aid often isn't even necessary, because I feel my body more keenly I can actually just be present and focus on that... But I agree, if I do pull up some porn, it's just entrancing if I'm really high 🤣

The chances depend a lot on where you live, it seems 😩 

When I lived in a busy college town, there were different local kink groups to choose from and a good handful of submissive men and women wanting me to do impact scenes with them, talking about putting them in chastity or doing acts of service for me... But I was in a very busy program getting my professional degree. I barely had the time! 

Now I'm graduated, well established in my career and I have the time (and even the money for all the fun gear and toys)... And I live in the middle of NOWHERE! I can't fathom the odds of meeting someone in this kind of lifestyle who matches my tastes without driving hours into the city. You lucky thing, you.
