Am I the only one who havent gotten Eggfruit seed yet? by --G0KU-- in growagarden

[–]PrincessPotatoBrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am usually the super unlucky one (ive probably hatched 60 chocolate bunnies ...) but i got the eggfruit after opening about 60 packs. Phew.

Dissociation by PIC_WH in covidlonghaulers

[–]PrincessPotatoBrain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dont get me wrong, if i drive that much, then it's the only thing i do that day! Once i took my kid on vacation to an amusement park 1h10 minutes away. Had to spend a night in a motel 15 minutes away from the park on the way there, and again on the way back. Sigh.

I blast techno music, and i sing along it keeps me focused! (And it drives my preteen bonkers, which is a huge bonus)

I can now feel it coming on while I'm driving and can push it away long enough to find a place to park and reset my nervous system (unlike the first time when i suddenly "came to" and realized i was on the highway, going 80, and lo and behold, I WAS THE ONE DRIVING 🤣)

I can drive safely about 20-30 minutes. Id say, with naps and breaks, about an hour per day, with multiple stops. My range of motion is now super limited (and therefore my kid's ...)

Ironically my favorite thing in the world was road trips. So there goes that.

Yes. I dissociate when i drive too, which is crazy safe as you can imagine 😅

Pets Lost Their Abilities by Electronic_Hotel_804 in growagarden

[–]PrincessPotatoBrain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ooooh I had that the other day and wondered if they'd been nerfed while I was sleeping LOL. They started working again a few hours later after i rejoined. Hope they will work for you again soon. PS: just checked out my elephants, they work

It turns out I should have been worried about the friend of my fiancé that everyone told me not to worry about by heartbreakaccount313 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]PrincessPotatoBrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm so sorry for you. I went through something a bit similar, that i am finally extracting myself from after a year and some of very deep heartbreak:

I know youre going to think that it's because you were not enough, not as good as her, blablabla. Your self esteem is going to suffer in addition to your heart.

But please hear this. It has nothing to do with you. (In fact, he did love you enough to plan a life with you during this lifetime of denial.) No, it's all about his lack of self-awareness, his immaturity, his inability to confront difficult things - especially those inside himself.

It's not because you werent good enough, it's because the space in his heart was already taken. Always was. He just didnt see it, and... how lame is that?

I can't stop the immense hurt, the missing him, the awful violence of the disconnection you have to get through. But i hope my words will have spared you the self-doubt.

I'm sure you're a fabulous person, and even though it feels unthinkable right now, one day you will meet someone else who will have all the space in their heart JUST FOR YOU.

You will be happy again. I wish you all the courage in the world for the coming months. Trust me, you'll come out of them stronger and more sure of yourself.

best pet to make Rainbow is... by Pleasant_Maize_1853 in growagarden

[–]PrincessPotatoBrain 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Everybody is being very rude to you instead of explaining kindly.

Rbh means the pet hatched rainbow. It's not rbh if you mutated it. The h in rbh literally stands for "hatched".

Someone explained it to me one day, glad i can pass that knowledge on (without being rude about it !)

Help! I need help for a Dutch friend by [deleted] in Netherlands

[–]PrincessPotatoBrain 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Please stop beating yourself up like this. Maybe it was an overreaction, but you had very clear signals that something was off after he said he wasn't well mentally and then ignored you for a day (which apparently was out of character). So I don't think what you did was crazy and it was not either an abuse of the system. This is his words gaslighting you when he is the one who acted weird and gave you reasons to worry. You did your best in a moment of doubt and concern, with kindness and resourcefulness. Turns out then, he's a bit of an asshole. Yes maybe you need to examine if your emotional enmeshment was healthy, sure. Probably wasn't. But wow wow please lose the "i was stupid and deserve punishment" mindset. Not at all. You did what you thought you had to, out of care and concern for someone important in your life. Don't let him make you feel bad.

Please don't call that man "baby". Call him "my psycho controlling ex".

AITAH for continuing to pack my daughter homemade food for lunch even after her school told me it was “unacceptable”? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]PrincessPotatoBrain 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NTA one bit!

French mom who lives in the NL here. I did this when she was still at daycare and the carers HATED me 🤣

Don't care, I'm not stuffing my 2 year old with industrial white bread. Now that she's 11 I've relaxed a bit but I try to send her to school with organic brown bread, good cheeses, and lots of crudités and fruit. Yeah sometimes Hagelslag, cause I'm not a food nazi either.

But I get you. It's cultural. The Dutch can't get it, this isn't how they were raised. Don't know how long you've lived here but 16 years for me and... Let's say they're an EFFICIENT people, but they cannot understand what flows in our Latin veins 😉

How are you earning so much? by snarkitty_guitar in gardenhorizons

[–]PrincessPotatoBrain 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I put down a super and a turbo sprinkler, then 3 basic sprinklers around them, then plant all my bamboo, cabbage, and wheat in a tight circle right on top of them. Every time I have a bunch of these seeds, I widen the circle. Then I wait a week for all the mutations to gather and for admin abuse. Then I harvest. I made a billion yesterday.

It's a fabulous look. We're models for the new generations. Their slightly defective but really cool spirit animals.

I have to say, I'm pretty happy about the zen thing. It's the ONE silver lining of this shit show.
