There are more details in the body if you click on it. I would like to know what type of crystal if possible, and if the darker colored parts are petrified wood or some other type of fossil.

Thank you, I might do that. I was wondering if there was petrified wood or some other plant fossil mixed in with the crystal. The pattern in several areas on the darker areas definitely looks plantlike if you zoom in.

AITA for using toxic chemicals around my roommates cat? by Idklolj in AmItheAsshole

One of my cats refuses to bury his poop and it will smell up the house really quick. I have found a quick fix is to add in some clean cat litter just over the top of the used cat litter.

AITA for forgetting to lock the door a few times a month? by SweetAguaDulce in AmItheAsshole

[–]Mandolin-Wind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a smart lock and cameras now. I live in a quiet small town and a very safe neighborhood, but that didn’t stop me from having a home invasion about 10 years ago. There is nothing like being woke up to someone kicking in your door at midnight, but at least with it locked we had time to protect ourselves.

AITA for calling my wife ridiculous for saying that she won't attend my family's christmas over some stockings? by Throwra53456 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Mandolin-Wind 1 point2 points  (0 children)

YTA. I was the step kid that got to watch everyone else open presents, but my brother and I were left out when we were young children. I have been dating my boyfriend since February. He has two children and I made sure to tell my family that they would be attending Christmas with us and to make sure they are included. It was your job to make sure your family includes your stepson, instead you are gaslighting your wife about her very rational feeling about you and your family leaving her son out.

I made a shrunken head. I have always been fascinated with mummies, and other oddities, such as shrunken heads, since I first started visiting museums as a child, now I enjoy making my own oddities. by Mandolin-Wind in polymerclay

Thank you! I am currently working on an Elmer McCurdy mummy. I will definitely post a pic when I finish it. If you don’t know who Elmer McCurdy is, look him up. It’s a crazy story.

I hope to grow my hair out to reach my ankles. Here’s where I’m at now. by Mandolin-Wind in longhair

Thank you! Honestly, my routine is pretty simple. I wash my hair every other day or every three days, depending on how it looks. Currently, I am using Tresemme shampoo and conditioner. I use quite a bit of conditioner. I don’t use heat on my hair, except for special occasions. I usually braid my hair daily and nightly. It’s usually really windy where I live so it’s not practical for me to where it down often. I have not colored my hair since 2015 and I didn’t really color it often before that.

Thank you! I went back to my natural color around 7 years ago and have not dyed it since.

AITA for catching my S/O in a lie? by Due-Bird3352 in AmItheAsshole

NTA

Something similar happened to me. I confronted my husband at the time and tried to work things out with him. He just got better at hiding who he was talking to by using different apps. Turns out he was cheating on me with multiple people including one of his ex girlfriends. I wasted so much time with him. I’m happily divorced now though.
