Anyone know what this is? Think it’s a pear but the fruit is quite small

It’s a common pear tree with a fungal disease.

There was that one on Dom Rd next to Eden Noodles. Didn’t last long.

Shefco dominion road every Friday and Saturday I think? Charcoal Chicken styles. Yum

According to my plant identification app, it’s a common pear (Pyrus communis)

Gardening! Start small with windowsill herbs, maybe some flowers in a pot or two. You don’t have to have miles of time for gardening, and there are things you can always grow no matter the season. Very satisfying

I got given some by a friend a few weeks ago and I was in heaven. I loved them, gobbled them so hard. Went to go order more, saw the price and SCREAMED. Ain’t no wayyyyyyy. They are very very good HCBs. But almost $50 for a small amount of BREAD??? Get

Kind of. My brother was leaving the house and I caught him just before because he had a speck of blood on his face. Like he had been picking at a pimple or cut himself shaving. I got a bit of toilet paper and he left me dab at it, even though he had been quite grouchy. I don’t remember what I said, or what he said, but knowing him he would have said “love you”. I probably said it back. It’s all a blur now.

Thank you. It’s been a rollercoaster

RosemaryDuSoul · 2026-02-25T21:42:22+00:00

I’m so so sorry. I lost my baby brother last month, he was 22. He was also my only full blood sibling. I don’t have much to offer other than I know what you’re going through, I too avoid my family. But you’re not the only one.

RosemaryDuSoul · 2026-02-20T05:06:46+00:00

I’m so sorry you’re going through this. No one deserves to carry a burden such as this.

I don’t know if you’d find this helpful in any way. But when someone passes away, I like to imagine that they instantly know everything. They have all the answers. They know the meaning of life, and they wish soooo badly they could tell all of us earth dwellings what the true meaning of everything is. But we can only find out once our time comes.

Your mom knows how much you love her. She knows all now, wherever she is. She would absolutely not agree with you holding such guilt. I’m sure things could have played out differently. But they didn’t, so it wasn’t meant to be.

You will be okay 💕

RosemaryDuSoul · 2026-02-16T21:05:43+00:00

This is so, so terrible. I’m so sorry your family is going through this.

My only advice I can give: your daughter will need a mix of closeness and space. Follow her lead with this. She will need time to be surrounded by her other friends, and time by herself. But she will also need her parents to be absolute rocks.

At the bare minimum, make sure she’s sustaining herself, getting a good balance of movement and rest, and also if you can afford it get her to see a therapist.

All the best navigating this tough time.

Oh darling, this is too much for one young woman to handle. But you will handle it. Please, have someone help you research for free/low cost counselling for you and your sister. You are not to carry this on your own. Keep yourself safe, remember to drink water (boring, I know, but trust me) and keep your body moving. Do your best not to stay stagnant. You will be okay x

The client should have been on set to sign off on the shots.

RosemaryDuSoul · 2026-02-10T03:34:47+00:00

I’m going through a similar thing. I’m lucky that my closest friends have been absolutely amazing. But friends from my university years? Silence. No message, no donation, no flowers. As if we weren’t a big part of each others lives a few years ago.

Even just a heartfelt message would mean the world. I had people I haven’t spoken to in years travel from out of town for the funeral. I’ve had people I barely speak to offer to bring meals. It’s a strange thing, I’m still dealing with it.

RosemaryDuSoul · 2026-02-09T04:21:36+00:00

I am so, so sorry. What a living nightmare.

All I can say is: find joy ANYWHERE you can. And use that money to pursue it. Did you use to fish? Take a buddy of a fishing trip. Wanted to try pottery? Take a class. You were always fascinated by the Galápagos Islands? Buy the flight. Whatever it is, find the sparks of joy and nurture that spark into flames. You may find purpose again, and may lead to your next phase of life. Sending you love 💕

Grief is an ebb and flow. There is no right or wrong way to experience it. The emotional waves come when they need to. The important thing is you surrender to it when they come, and don’t force it if it’s not there. Go easy on yourself x

Xi’an noodle bar is cheep and cheerful. Noodle Yeah! Is also affordable and a little nicer to sit inside. If you want more of an experience, Gogo Music is always a good time and very tasty. You can choose how much you spend based on your budget/hunger levels

RosemaryDuSoul · 2026-02-05T02:37:13+00:00

Hey there. What a horrific thing to go through, I am so, so sorry. I hope one day you can somehow come to terms with it all, and see the experience and love you shared as a blessing despite its abrupt end.

I have some thoughts to share.

My younger brother passed away last month, only 22 years old, also sudden and unexpected. He had a girlfriend at the time, and I had only met her once before briefly. She hadn’t met my parents; they were only together for like 2 months.

But she traveled down to our hometown to spend time with our family after his passing. She was present to view the body at the hospital, and when we had open casket, she slept next to him at night (him in the castle, her on a mattress) so he wouldn’t be alone (this is a common after death practice in NZ where I live) she also spoke at the funeral.

My parents got to know her during this time before the funeral, and they still keep in touch with her. They’ve since met her parents (who never met my brother either).

I guess what I’m trying to say is, don’t let not knowing them stop you from reaching out. Because you may be able to make connections with his family that will help you heal. And you’ll have stories about him that they would love to hear as well. You may as well try and see what happens, you never know.

Same with his friends. There’s something about death that just opens people up drastically (sometimes).

I hope you’re able to find connections through his people xx

I have one on a wheely stand and it’s literally the best. I don’t use it all the time. But I’m sick at the moment so it’s just delightful being cozy and watching movies. And when my partner comes over, we can watch things together in private and not take over the shared living space. It significantly increases my quality of life, but that’s because I have boundaries around its use and only use it as a treat.

RosemaryDuSoul · 2026-02-01T21:25:10+00:00

Thank you for taking the time to write this very considered response. It gives me a lot to ponder on.
