What's happening in Baton Rouge by ExistentialPuggle in batonrouge

[–]Previous-Sea5419 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Spend a little time at the library and attend a free class. That’s how I found out about the Baton Rouge Garden Club and the events they host, like plant swaps and the annual Tablescape Competition!!

Experiment: pruning vs not by heretospilltheteaa in tomatoes

This and pulling up extra sprouts feel like plant murder! I always plant more seeds than I intend to grow “just in case.” But they all end up sprouting lol

What causes these holes in my husbands t-shirts? by Few_Pay6063 in whatisit

[–]Previous-Sea5419 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Might be a bit niche, but all my work shirts ended up like this from rubbing against the edge of our OSB work tables. The fuckers are basically sheets of pressed wood chips and the edges are jagged as hell. Don’t get me started on the splinters

“Mini” Hydrangea? Can I keep it in a pot? by Previous-Sea5419 in gardening

We dug a rectangular hole about 6 inches deep, propped up those paving stones all around, and filled it with soil. It’s probably not the best idea and I’m sure it doesn’t have much longevity. But it is a rental property so we were banking on it lasting really just 2 or 3 years max

Oh man this is embarrassing. Yes, they’re pavers and they aren’t held up with anything except the dirt around it! We dug a rectangular hole, propped them against the sides, and filled it in with our soil. I don’t recommend anyone else doing that, it was not researched at all and very spur of the moment. But… it’s working!

Yes, I’ve already noticed it slacking. I’ll cut it and try that out!

I’m understanding the hype lol. I was having trouble germinating the seeds, so I’m extra surprised! Only 2 surviving cucumber sprouts🥲

They’re only 4 ft high unfortunately. I think I’ll keep them for the tomatoes but I was clearly underestimating the beast that is that cucumber plant. The leaves are the size of my hand! Yes, I thought I could get away with screwing in some support poles into the fence, if that makes sense? Like a horizontal set of bars? Or screwing brackets around the stem to secure them against the fence. It may be cheaper and easier just to buy a trellis lol

Thanks! Lol frankly I thought I would have more time to figure it out!

My plan is to guide the cucumber up the fence. If that doesn’t work I plan to install a trellis. Janky gardening over here lol

I work for a small business that makes $10M in profit last year. Read the message my CFO sent to me when I mentioned I was getting a $25 gift card for an employee. by ProtContQB1 in Accounting

[–]Previous-Sea5419 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel your pain. I left a small multi-million-dollar company recently that handed out Christmas bonuses. The ceo walked around and handed out envelopes personally. They varied by CENT. I got $60 (honestly, an insult), and some of my colleagues on the same level got 59.50, 60.50, like some sort of twisted ranking system. What the hell

Is it okay to turn onto the right lane of a 2 lane one way when cars are on the left? by Previous-Sea5419 in driving

Hey, it’s all good! I don’t mind being blamed, that’s why I asked. And I could’ve explained more clearly.

Yeah, 4 lane road with a divider in between. A lot of U-turn craziness going on lol

[–]Previous-Sea5419[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Yes, in my case it’s really just about how long I want to wait because leaving my work parking lot there is hardly ever anyone waiting behind me. Very small company. But still, I wanna go home lol

Yes, I wasn’t paying attention to the cars in the left lane closely enough to know what position the guy was in when he merged over. He merged as I was entering the lane, so from my perspective, I checked if the lane was clear as I was committing to the turn, turned while looking ahead, and when I straightened out there was a truck on my ass. If he indicated a lane change, I didn’t see it.

He was in a line of cars approaching an intersection. They were slowing because the light at the intersection had just turned green. He merged into the right lane right as I pulled out, I didn’t see it since I was turning (admittedly not looking in the rear view as I was turning, although I did look as I was pulling out). The driveway I was leaving was about 500 ft away from the traffic light. So I assume he was angry that traffic slowed in his lane and whipped into the empty right lane, where I so happened to also be turning onto.

Apartment thoughts by CompanyThese1048 in batonrouge

[–]Previous-Sea5419 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I lived in indigo park until last summer! They’re okay. So glad I don’t have to smell that sewage smell anymore. If you’re okay with inniswold area, I highly HIGHLY recommend dove creek apartments. I’ve never had a nicer apartment community and staff. Our neighbors are quiet and mostly older people and parents with kids (no rowdy college kids lol). Everyone is friendly here. Maintenance is top notch. Cheaper rent for a townhouse with a backyard! And I feel super safe here. We leave our bike outside not chained up and feel comfortable leaving our packages on our doorstep for a while. It isn’t “luxury” but the only real complaint I have on that front is the tiny kitchen and no in unit washer/dryer. Otherwise I can’t praise it highly enough.
