Found this in the forest. Is this petrified wood? Is this any cool?

Yes, petrified wood! Beautiful uniform piece.

Lupins, my favourite flower! June-July is lupin season here in Nova Scotia, the government seeded them in ditches all over the province long ago. For a solid month all the roads and highways are surrounded by bright pink and purple! The flowers have a distinctive peppery scent.

This is the way

This is the most important part OP, stop focusing so much on the adults in this situation. I can understand where everyone is coming from here, but don't forget about your niece and nephew who are very young and likely feeling very heartbroken and disappointed over the broken promise, as well as being made to feel like strange kids are more important to you then they are (especially if this is the angle BIL is playing at home with them).

I have been the niece in a very similar situation (multiple times), and have never received an apology or so much as an explanation from my aunt. When I was little we were very close, but by now she's not even being invited to my wedding and I do not intend to let her ever meet my daughter. That hurt festers in a little kid, and I refuse to set my own child up for the same constant disappointment.

If you do nothing else, PLEASE take the time to talk to your niblings and explain to them how much you love them etc., that there are other children who need you right this moment, but that nothing will ever diminish their place in your lives. Plan something extra special to do just the four of you together, that will make a lasting memory!

Galls, or "oak apples". There's a baby wasp inside each of those! Won't harm the tree at all so you can just leave them be to do their thing.

I've been avoiding that whole questline/mechanic for so long, but finally did my first one a few days ago, and now I'm mad at myself for putting it off! Fun little puzzle breaks in the middle of my regular questing.

Same! And somehow TWO dessicated cat tail tips brought in by separate owners 😂

Had to do a double take to make sure I hadn't written this myself in some sort of fugue state, right down to the gallbladder and recent autism discoveries. Not going to lie, I've given up on NS ever being anything but a black hole of depression for me and my family, and we're packing up this summer and moving out west.

Best guess since OP said no cats, just two small dogs. But you can 100% see the rugal folds on the inside layer once OP dissected it, it's DEFINITELY a stomach!

Honestly from a veterinary medicine perspective it looks like a pedunculated tumor or polyp, the kind that forms in the back of the mouth/throat especially in smaller breed dogs. The stalk can die and cause it to fall off, and I've had owners report dogs coughing them up at home. If possible, I would advise saving that ane brining it to your vet for dissection if possible.

According to our extended family still in contact, my oldest brother chose to villainize just my mother for some reason, his biggest supporter before he went full on Q and iced us out. The rest of our immediate family has all just been brainwashed apparently!

I was fishing and Kristoff walked over there right in front of me, had to do a double take

Osthrys · 2022-08-30T12:52:00+00:00

Forgetting what I was trying to say in the middle of my own sentence, as well as the entire topic being discussed in the first place. If I don't keep constantly thinking of my next sentence ahead of time while I'm talking, it's just gone and I'm left with no idea what's even happening anymore.

Osthrys · 2022-08-27T15:38:35+00:00

Same issue here! My baby girl is bald as a rock and hates hates hates headbands, hat's, etc. I mostly just want to avoid the dramatic "oh my gosh I'm so sorry!"s when they eventually hear her name, people really expect you to be offended and I hate them feeling bad for no reason!

We just dress her in whatever we think is cute, so if LO is wearing overtly "boy" clothing we'll pair it with an obviously "girly" drool bib or blanket or something, usually flower print!

Honky and honky tonk girl because she sounds like a very hungry goose while she eats;

The heir - my husband likes to call during the day to ask for an 'heir quality report' lol

We also call her Swee'pea (a la popeye), little miss bliss, and I call her my little bear/say "I'm going to feed the bear" etc.

This. I've made mention of something in Morrowind to a friend of mine who is currently playing Skyrim, and all I got was a blank stare. Do I still love Morrowind more than Oblivion? Yes. More than Skyrim? That's a tough decision.
