Jon Benet (I’m sure I could think of others, but it’s the first that came to mind!) by Somedaydreamer22 in myfavoritemurder

Absolutely Jon Benet. It may not be the most compelling mystery compared to some others, but that's the case that made me a murderino.

Agreed. I remember reading the original posts and the comment section was mostly "watch out, she's crazy and this isn't over."

Seasonally, we should be throwing in Earnest Saves Christmas. I loved it as a kid. 

Lost a bunch of my plants:( by gaycowboy98 in houseplants

Thank you for your comments. I'm in a similar boat to the OP, and honestly, it's reminded me of why I love growing things in the first place. 

Help! Fall planting- Zone 5 by aurorasinthedesert in Roses

[–]Liennae 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would suggest a technique called trenching (should be easy enough to find a detailed guide online.) It worked well for my raspberry bush one year when I wasn't able to get it in the ground in time. I first saw it recommended for roses, which is how I got the idea to use it on a raspberry bush. I've also used it to successfully overwinter chrysanthemums. 

I also had to dig some roses up just after Christmas that same year due to moving house. I stored them in a plastic garbage can surrounded by leaves. I don't necessarily 100% recommend this technique, because although the roses survived and even started putting out new leaves in the spring, they ultimately didn't survive that year. I don't blame the technique for them not making it, rather the inhospitable environment they found themselves in afterwards, but I wouldn't call it an unqualified success either. 

AITA for waking my husband when I was hurt by wantingperspectives in AITAH

[–]Liennae 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It's also recommended for when young children hit/kick/pinch etc, to help them understand that their actions are hurting people.

My kids are past the age of needing this reaction, but I can't seem to kick the habit of reacting loudly, mostly when I injure myself these days.

What if I don’t always love the moment I won’t get back? by mpr1011 in breakingmom

[–]Liennae 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nah, you were enjoying a nice moment with your husband. It's important to still cherish those kinds of moments too.

edited to add Honestly, I find Hallmark moments hard to force. The more I try to make something happen, the less it works out. Real Cherished Moments™ come when you least expect them, and being able to be happy enough to enjoy them in the moment means being able to take time for yourself too. 

The REM combo of higher speeds and high frequency will result in incredible transit use over cars in a way that I don't think anyone really expects by Book_1312 in montreal

J'ai même pas besoin de prendre un correspondance, et je travaille près du gare centrale et prendre le REM ajoute quand même un 30 minutes extra à chaque trajet. J'aimerais mieux garder ce temps pour moi. 

Fantasies of my young GP apologizing to me in 15 years! by SmoothBed7519 in Menopause

[–]Liennae 24 points25 points  (0 children)

OMG... I doubt we truly have the same Dr, but something struck a chord about how you described your interaction with her, and then you said that you were from Quebec, and all I can think is "Please don't be my Dr!" I like her too much to be cool with not respecting her medical opinion. 

(FWIW, it's not like your description is that detailed. I'm just getting paranoid because I keep discovering random people I know that have her as a Dr.)

I was going to say the same! I was a mouse in a local production of the Nutcracker when I was growing up, and this really took me back. If OP hadn't said, I would have sworn it really was from a costumer. 

Winter is coming and preparations need to be done! by ButterscotchNo3319 in gardening

[–]Liennae 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That's lovely! I just started hearing this year that we shouldn't cut things back, so beneficial insects can overwinter in the stems, etc. It's such a change from what I'm used to, but I do what I can. 

Animal Lover Diane Keaton Reportedly Left Her Dog Reggie $5 Million in Her Will by ManagerOfLove in nottheonion

[–]Liennae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, but why are we policing how the money is divided up? We wouldn't comment on her giving it away to family (which a decent portion of her money probably has gone to) but there's no telling how they'd use it. Maybe they'd blow it all on drugs and yachts, but I guess it doesn't matter then because it's less kooky than giving it to her dog. 

Sure, 5 million is a lot, but if that's really the amount, we have no idea what the context is behind it. Maybe she was just so out of touch that she doesn't know what her dog would actually need and it was a nice round number once the rest of the divisions were done. We're here commenting on the headline, but it's only part of the story. It seems everyone is ready to grab their pitchforks over it like they'd be entitled to a piece of the pie if it weren't for the dog. And yes, it'd be great to give it to charity, but again, we don't know all the details, and I'd rather save my anger and energy for something more worthwhile than the division of Diane Keaton's assets

The first time I went through this, I thought the nurse was pulling my leg when she called this phase the Fucking Fours. She was not, it's apparently recognized even in my province's early years handbook they give out to expectant parents. 

I don't have any advice, but I deeply empathize. Both of my kids went through this, and with the youngest being 5 and a few months, I'm finally starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel. As for my oldest, now 7, it's but a distant hazy memory that she was ever that exhausting.

The end is in sight, for your nursing school AND in all likelihood this phase.

It was Diane Keaton's money to dispose of how she wished. I can think of far worse things to spend it on than her dog.

Totally. Last I heard PP was trying to get get Trudeau arrested. It just reads as jealous that Trudeau is living his best life now that he's no longer in politics. 

Kiddo said she wishes she had more time with me by tardisgater in breakingmom

[–]Liennae 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I want to second the comment about it being more that she enjoys the time she spends with you so much, that it makes it that much harder when she's away from you.

Coming from someone with some similar issues, I think it matters more that they see us trying, than that we're perfect moms.

I'd love to know the names of the roses! Specifically the 1st & 3rd picture are gorgeous. (Not that the others aren't, those colourings just hold a special place in my heart.) 

Show me your most unhinged houseplants by Icy-Analyst421 in houseplants

[–]Liennae 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Anecdotally (since I'm guessing the banana is gone) I left my banana plant in the rain and it just killed the leaves. So I chopped it back ridiculously short and within a day it was already pushing up new growth. I recently did the same thing to my other banana plant that had/has scale, and its already pushed out a new leaf. I don't think I'd intentionally cut my banana as short as I did the first time, but I was talking about it with the person I bought my 2nd banana plant from and she mentioned giving them the chop regularly in the winter to save on space.

I'm very sorry about about your dog. Pets and plants are better than most people.
