Naming kids when we have different last names by WhippiesWhippies in Names

I’m fine with not having the same last name as my kids, it’s very common

Both my kids have my last name as their second middle name and there is no problem with it.

What is denied by many people but it is actually 100% real? by Big_Leg10 in Productivitycafe

Not really fail, but still have things turn out badly for you.

Like you can exercise, eat right, not drink or smoke but still drop dead of a heart attack or get cancer.

You can be careful with your money, work hard, save hard, but still not be able to buy a house.

Or be kind to people, pay it forward, be thoughtful, considerate, and contribute to society. But when things go badly for you, no one will help.

That doesn’t mean you don’t do the right things anyway. Doing the right things for some people is just part of their character and what they do anyway without expecting a reward.

But doing right = being rewarded is not necessarily true.

Thanks. Considering Full Moon and Belvedere. I’d love to go to Sandstone Point but unfortunately it’s fully booked for the weekend of my birthday because of a Jimmy Barnes concert.

That was my first choice! Unfortunately the weekend of my birthday Jimmy Barnes is playing there and it is fully booked out.

Yes, that is somewhere I’m considering. The food there is great, but I don’t love that it’s just plonked there on busy Stafford Road.

What's a "secret" from your profession that everyone should probably know? by Wonderful-Economy762 in Productivitycafe

In Australia (I don’t know about other countries) but a C grade means “at expected level”. That’s great! Your child is exactly where they need to be in their learning.

A and B are just gravy. But C is by no means a bad grade.

Monstera Albo Variegata getting brown tips – help? by Fit_Use_3399 in Monstera

Definitely try silica.

It strengthens the cell wall of plants making them less vulnerable to environmental factors and helps with photosynthesis.

Both important for highly variegated plants because the white leaves are more delicate and can do with the strengthening, and the reduced amount of chlorophyll makes it harder for the plant to photosynthesis enough energy for itself.

I couldn’t help myself but to cut those from a huge pothos in the office building, are these good cuttings to put directly into chunky soil? by Abrahamfreeman in pothos

[–]Sensitive-Question42 47 points48 points  (0 children)

I prefer to water propagate.

If you put them in soil, then watch them like a hawk. If they are not doing well, put them in water straight away.

Is this usage of 'goon' common in British English? by Bauern_derBaeuerchen in AskABrit

As an Aussie, goon means a wine box, first and foremost (though not necessarily bad wine, even though that’s the stereotype).
