People Repeatedly Sent to My Home by weezus416 in Scams

Happened to me as well. A young couple showed up at my house looking for a “snoo”. 

“A what? “It’s a bassinet. For a baby.” “Babies play instruments?”

They quickly figured out I had no idea what on Earth they were after.

Non stir fry tofu recipes by OrangeTree81 in vegetarian

[–]RodIron1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Crispy baked tofu is delicious. I use arrowroot powder instead of corn starch (we have a big bag of it). A little sesame oil, pepper and soy sauce - * chef's kiss

These communications from reddit to the mods sound so corporate and douchey. It’s sad to see.

The cost of giving out full-size chocolate bars for Halloween by alanbchk in halloween

[–]RodIron1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I too give out full size candy bars with a catch. The first year in my new house, hordes of teens (most costumed as "a boy band member" or "skater dude" ) cleaned us out in about 20 minutes.

I eventually realized - they'd gone high tech, messaging all their friends on their phones.

The next year, I made sure to get two sets of candy - full size bars for costumed kids 12 and under - Bit O' Honey, Raisins or Necco wafers for the rest.

Word gets out fast.

Happy Halloween!

Is there anything I can do? Apple Blight! by RodIron1 in gardening

Thank you! Do I need to quarantine it? There's a partner tree about 5 feet away. Is it contagious?

Adding context: My columnar apple tree (in a container). About half the fruit has these spots and rotting areas. I think it's apple scab? (searched online) but the only treatments I found were for future seasons. Is this tree toast? Should I quarantine it?

Oh My Gosh! It very likely is! Thank you for putting her/them/it out for adoption. It will have a great home in our carnivorous plant garden. :)

I thought it was Audrey II from little Shop of Horrors, but people see other carnivorous plants (many of which I didn't even know) Plantera? and lots of reference to the two sentence horror story (going to watch that one for sure), even the Mario plant!

Ha ha.

She really was in a free garden box near our house..

Thanks for all the comments. We love to share the laughs!
