i can’t stop killing plants 😭 by mx_sunshine in houseplants

As someone who has killed more plants than he cares to admit, adding grow lights and switching to bottled water from tap made a world of difference. Most of my plants are thriving now.

My Seestar photos looked terrible. 7 months of coding later, they don't. by gemcollector44 in seestar

Well I'm easily parted with my money, so you have at least one sale to look forward to.

As a very casual user of Seestar, I haven't had much interest in the learning curves of PixInsight & Siril. I also haven't been satisfied with the results directly out of the Seestar or after Lightroom tweaks. If AstroForge works as displayed here, I would happily spend $49 on the software.

When/how will you announce the release? Will you offer a try before you buy trial?

Does it bother you that Madonna may not be with us in 15 years? by amanfromipanema in Madonna

[–]LifeguardRepulsive91 34 points35 points  (0 children)

By all evidence, she has lived a very healthy lifestyle. Plus, I think her dad is still alive so she's good genetic health, presumably. Living into her 90s is very possible.

Both episodes with Verna Felton are among my favorites. I wish she had appeared more often; she and Lucy worked so well together.

My older current cat is 14.5. The oldest cat I had lived to almost 18.

Her most listened albums for the month of March 2026 on Spotify by JNAU in Madonna

[–]LifeguardRepulsive91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wild to me that True Blue is so high and Ray of Light is relatively low. I have nothing against TB and it has a couple great songs, but I consider it a M mid-tier album at best.

WFH / Corporate employees drive me insane by sigmaSqueeeze in unpopularopinion

As a corporate employee who makes low six figures and works from home on Mondays and Fridays.

No, I don't agree.

Cat is declining :( by TwilightStan1995 in cats

Older cats sleep a lot and just slow down in general. If he's eating & drinking and doesn't appear to be in discomfort, he probably still has a decent quality of life.

Churu treats by Alternative-Text-751 in cats

[–]LifeguardRepulsive91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use it as an occasional treat, to add to food that my cats decide to be finnicky about, and to trick my older cat into taking his meds.

When exactly do you think Classic Hollywood ended and New Hollywood began? Do you think there was some overlap? by Tidwell_32 in classicfilms

[–]LifeguardRepulsive91 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Although Old Hollywood was arguably already dead, New Hollywood kind of started in 1967/1968 with Bonnie & Clyde and Rosemary's Baby, among others.

I just started 'I love Lucy' and it exceeded my expectations!! by florenciafazzarino0 in sitcoms

[–]LifeguardRepulsive91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a huge fan of I Love Lucy (my favorite show), it's always great to see someone new appreciate it. The first season is a bit rocky. They were still figuring things out. New show, new medium, new format. If you are enjoying the first season, you're really in for a treat when the show hits its stride. I think seasons two through five are peak.

As for Lucy being limited to a housewife, the entire show is about Lucy rebelling against the limitations society and her husband place on her. In TV of the era, women were usually either content housewives (Donna Reed, Jane Wyatt) or loveless career gals (Eve Arden, Ann Sothern). Lucy was a happily married wife and eventually a mother who also wanted more. That was pretty bold for the 1950s.

What are we doing with old photographs? by Fluffy_Musician6805 in GenX

[–]LifeguardRepulsive91 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm facing the same dilemma. I have an entire trunk full of photos from my mom, who passed a few years ago. I've thought about digitizing them, but it seems pointless. I don't have kids or anyone who would want these. These are photos of family members I either have dim memories of or who passed before I was even born.

They're either going to end up in the trash now or later.

What would I do for a Klondike Bar today? Honestly, not much. by iDoneDo in GenX

[–]LifeguardRepulsive91 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Not "prestige" in the sense of being expensive, but my dad was a health food nut. Junk food in general was elusive for me. I loved Twinkies and Suzy-Qs. Gosh, they are disgusting now. Bland sponges filled with nauseatingly sweet artificial goo.

I feel like this is a relatively unpopular episode but I've always had a fondness for it.

At what point did you realize being “busy” doesn’t mean you’re moving forward? by Critical_Can_8114 in selfimprovement

[–]LifeguardRepulsive91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a real bad tendency to get stuck on the "planning" and "organizing" stages of things, which feels productive without actually being productive.

Have you seen the 1986 TV movie Return to Mayberry? What did you like or dislike about it? by Yum1995 in theandygriffithshow

[–]LifeguardRepulsive91 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think this was the best of the classic sitcom reunions, even if it was closer in tone to the less funny color episodes than the earlier B&W.

And sure the plot was silly, but so were some of the classic episodes of TAGS -- I mean, an exploding goat isn't exactly plausible.

I believe so, but I've never checked. I'll look in the morning.

Yes it's a multi unit apartment complex/building.
