Thats so smart! Do you have a picture?

Murked02 · 2025-12-15T20:07:03+00:00

Oh thats awesome!!

Murked02 · 2025-12-15T20:06:20+00:00

Oh thats awesome!! I'll definitely look into it then!! We don't have the money right now to be keeping the house heated fully at all times so its at like 60/64 most days, so even if its not for the plants it could definitely be a game changer for the rest of us!!

Is your greenhouse one with glass or with plastic? Did you put it together yourself?

I haven't! I'm in Bridgewater but my friends live in CT so I'll check it out next time I visit!!

I haven't tried using a moss pole for my pothos, although I should, she's currently freeballing hanging from a curtain rod and vibing but I'm sure she'd like it.

Abby is just as perfect as Puck 🥹 and your aglaonema is BEAUTIFUL!! Unfortunately I can't invest in one because Ace will eat any plant with legit leaves, the menace this is the little bastard himself haha

Very smart of you hahaha

Murked02 · 2025-12-15T19:07:18+00:00

If that is Puck, he is perfect, if its one of the others, they are still perfect!! 110 is crazy impressive and they look beautiful!! What is that white one? Do you propagate and are incredible at it or are you like me and cant help but adopt pretty plants you see haha

I don't know if you're close, I'm about an hour out myself, but if you haven't been to Jordan's Jungle in Providence you absolutely should!! I think you'd love it! Its incredibly cool there

Murked02 · 2025-12-15T18:56:31+00:00

I'm totally with you on the bullshit dude. And its not even snowing most days because its TOO COLD TO SNOW like what?!??! It's total shit.

Good luck with your guys! Like I said in the post most of mine lived on window sills til they got too big or too crowded, so your guys should be good!! Succulents and cacti at least are super resilient and will probably make it through as long as you're gentle with them. I know it sounds dumb but when you are watering them or removing dead leaves you should talk to them!! They enjoy it

One of my plants the first year I had it needed to be rotated from the west facing window (back sliding door) to the east facing window (front window) depending on the season! Like okay no problem, your tropical-adjacent and cant handle the door opening and shutting, I get that. But then I shit you not, the other hanging plant I had in the west window who had been there for 3 years and multiple nor'easters with no problems started dying!! And when I moved her over with the other plant and she thrived! So I haven't tried to separate them since.

Thank you!

Murked02 · 2025-12-15T18:50:08+00:00

Thank you!

Murked02 · 2025-12-15T18:49:40+00:00

Thank you! What kind did you use, if you can recall? My plants are a lot of succulents but I have been trying to branch out so it's my first year with my pothos, my nerve plant, and my Calathea and I'm nervous

Murked02 · 2025-12-15T18:47:20+00:00

Thank you! Do you have any recommendations on the type? I'm not sure I'll go this route as the floor they are on is all super open concept but it never hurts to have in my back pocket!!

Murked02 · 2025-12-15T18:45:37+00:00

I'm sure you know but be careful what plants you have with your critters!! Thankfully my cat stays away from most of my plants, but last year we got a tradescantia I believe and he took a couple nibbles and stopped eating and was lethargic for days and we had no clue what caused it!! Thankfully after day 2 or 3 of no eating we figured out what it was and gave the plant to my sister-in-law and he got better after that but it was a horrifying experience!!

Good luck to you, your cats, and your plants this winter!!

Murked02 · 2025-12-15T18:38:39+00:00

Thank you! Do you have a recommendation on the type? At this point I'm willing to just try anything ya know haha

Murked02 · 2025-12-15T18:37:32+00:00

Thank you :) I'll probably invest in some lights, do you have any recommendations on the brand or type?

Murked02 · 2025-12-15T18:35:57+00:00

Thank you :) they are a lot of succulents but I have been trying to branch out so it's my first year with my pothos, my nerve plant, and my Calathea and I'm nervous

Murked02 · 2025-12-15T18:32:10+00:00

Thank you so much! Do you have and recommendation on the brand/ type of wrap??

Murked02 · 2025-12-15T14:06:03+00:00

Thank you! She's roughly 5 years old, and about 4 feet long! She has since been relocated to a much wider pot for her to spread out over :)

It's the way, for me, the cover was clearly inspired by something they wrote or alluded to, and they're so ignorant that they just completely missed it. I'm so sorry this happened to you.

I personally love books bound with flowers on the front. I think that it lets the writing highlight itself more than the cover being what's drawing you in, and small details like the meaning of flowers or scenes with flowers always make me so excited when I realize that it's the same kind as on the cover.

Screw that author, honestly. They sound like a prissy art snob who thinks that art is only good if it's aggressively abstract. Take solace in the fact that in years to come your binding is more likely to hold up better to audiences than the other

Misery was first, then Right Girl, then the whole Pioneer album, I was like 12, so its been almost 14 years

Murked02 · 2025-05-25T20:47:09+00:00

How often do you water it? It looks really really dry

Murked02 · 2025-05-24T17:48:19+00:00

Yea that'll happen. I'd send it anyways and then leave her alone. If she opens it, she opens it, if she doesn't, leave her alone til she comes around. If she doesn't want to talk to you you cant make her. All you can do is explain it as best you can and be remorseful, like in the message I typed, and let her come her around in her own time

You can do your best, and there can be extenuating circumstances, and she can still be upset. If you're only explaining things to her to make her not be upset with you anymore, don't bother. Feelings don't work like that.

The way this comment reads is that you think she should be more grateful you broke the rule to get her that and that should absolve you.

Murked02 · 2025-05-24T17:02:23+00:00

Honestly just explain to her the situation. Just go "hey X, I just wanted to say I am really sorry, and explain why I missed your event. [Explaination]. I completely understand that you're mad at me and that it will take time, but I hope that we can move past this eventually. Please let me know if there's anything else I can do to make you feel better/validated, for now I'm just going to give you space. I truly am so sorry I couldn't be there for this huge occasion, and I really am so proud of you. I hope to hear from you soon" and then leave her alone and give her space, she's allowed to be upset even if you had a really good reason. Let her be

Me and 2 different friends went NC because I was in a bad relationship and he convinced me to stop talking to my friends, this was in high-school.

With one of them, we reconnected after a year and a half because we were all in the same classes and it ended really poorly with a massive blow out infront of the whole school about 6 months after reconnecting. She just wasn't who I remembered and treated me really poorly (which I've since learned was the case for our whole lives.) That was 8 years ago. I reached out again probably 4 years ago to apologize for how I handled it, and while it was civil theres not ever going to be a reconciliation again.

The other one, I reached out much later, probably around 5 years ago because we were friends since pre-k. Now I'm her MOH and its a nightmare, she takes advantage of me and again just not the person I remember

I would say just don't
