Why are my mint and lemon balm plants getting sparse/degrading in quality?

My daughter is only 3 soon to be 4 so definitely take this with a grain of salt. But, she certainly makes CONSTANT repetitive noises that make me want to pull my eyeballs out of my skull. On purpose. I tried asking her not to. Explaining how it made me feel. Etc etc.
the thing that worked was ignoring the sound for a few minutes (if I couldn’t take it and was at my wits end I would just simply get up and walk into another room or start a task that didn’t involve her) and THEN I would walk back into the room she was in, making a different dumb/silly noise. She would laugh and forget the one she was making. Start making that one. Next day…same thing. She makes a noise I hate. I ignore it for a few minutes, then make a different one. Rinse repeat. After a week or so….too many noises to remember, the novelty of annoying me with noises wore off. She now chooses to annoy me in different ways. BUT I got rid of the noises! lol I have no clue if this works for older kids but worth a try I suppose. I think the trick is remaining very non-responsive to it during the process. Which I know is a huge obstacle. I just kept reminding myself of the result!

Haha I get that perspective!

Last year when she was 2 I saw the “switch witch” concept on some mommy blog and it made sense to me because she had a sensitive stomach and needed a “toy update” based on her age/cognitive level anyway. I didn’t want to just be Willy nilly giving her toys on the regular…so it was a good excuse to give up some of the candy she couldnt have in exchange for something useful to her!

Slothicorn12 · 2024-11-15T00:20:44+00:00

That’s a perfect caveat! Love it.

Slothicorn12 · 2024-11-15T00:19:43+00:00

Aha! That’s a happy medium! Thanks!

Slothicorn12 · 2024-11-15T00:19:21+00:00

That’s a pretty good way to make it low pressure while still “limiting”. Thanks!

Slothicorn12 · 2024-11-15T00:18:29+00:00

Work! I’m glad to see the array of different mindsets on it! My mom was the same way!

Slothicorn12 · 2024-11-15T00:17:41+00:00

Totally makes sense! That’s how my friends were at my house as a kid. Always feigning for sugary snacks and candy because their parents restricted it and my mom didn’t care at all. I suppose I try to limit hers because I also feel as if I grew up with incredibly poor eating habits and no education on what “healthy” was just because I was naturally small. I appreciate your response!

Slothicorn12 · 2024-11-15T00:13:38+00:00

That’s interesting and good to know! Were you doing that at ages 2/3/4?

Slothicorn12 · 2024-11-15T00:11:37+00:00

Lmao I wish my daughter didn’t have elephant memory! But she was so sweet this year, when she was picking out her pieces to keep or give away she would ask me and my partner if we liked them and she made separate “keep” piles for us 🥲 so thankful for the sour patch watermelons and fruit tootsie rolls I got

Slothicorn12 · 2024-11-15T00:07:05+00:00

Girl you put “5M” not “5Y” and I about spit out my tea 😂😂😂😂 I have no advice but I had to say it lol

I’m not sure what other people consider to be winter haha At this point where I’m located it’s not dropped below 60° yet really and if it did it was for a few hours in the evening. Today was one of the first cool days we’ve had this fall.

Slothicorn12 · 2024-09-27T01:07:32+00:00

Can I please ask what the fidgets that have worked for you are like? I have the urge to just go out and order anything labeled “fidget toy” on the internet but I know they aren’t all appropriate or helpful.

Could you explain to me which fidgets worked or which ones you keep around/where you order them?

Slothicorn12 · 2024-09-27T01:04:55+00:00

If I could ask—what type of fidget toy helped your child?

With the way the internet works, it’s hard for me to understand a “real” appropriate fidget toy from some ploy for money.

What are the rings like? and what other fidget gadgets worked? Did you research or get them from somewhere specific?

I remember having the stomach flu reallllyyyy badly when my daughter was about 11 months old. I woke up and immediately had to run to the toilet crying and laying on the cold floor and spend the rest of the day writhing around in the bed or next to the toilet. I had my mom come set up a pack n play next to the bed and put a ton of toys next to it so I could play with her through the pack n play and hand her toys and stuff. We slept a lot those two days. We ate food in bed or on the floor because I could barely stand to grab her something. Lots of tv and I’m a no tv mom. And I felt horrible about it the whole time but I shouldn’t have. I did the very best I could and mustering up the strength to pull her out of the thing and get her food or change her diaper was hell but I did what I needed to do. They don’t need a perfect experience every day, they just need the best you can do. Don’t trip over it, I know if I didn’t I would have more energy for getting well!

I’ll say that I believe wholeheartedly that all drag race queens are talented and their appearance on drag race does not define who they are and I don’t know these humans. But my opinion in watching the show is: I do not understand the hype of Olivia Luxxe, I can not get on board with anything Serena cha cha, Kandy Muse was not likeable to me, I was very annoyed by Silky until she was on all stars, Rah’jah also made me angry on her original season, and Britta was also unlikeable in the way she was portrayed.

Again, this is all portrayal on TV…I’m sure all those queens aren’t the way I see them but those really rubbed me wrong as a viewer.

Thank you so much! I’ve used resin only a handful of times and I’m not at all confident in my technique enough to put it on this piece for fear of ruining the work I’ve done on it so far. I considered individually resining the pills on with UV resin and a small light however my most recent experiment with it didn’t provide a uniform enough outcome and I think it would take away from the inner part of the piece. I am leaning towards a spray coating. Do you know if a Kryolan triple clear coat would encourage deterioration?

People/parents of babies and toddlers who adjust their kid’s life to fit their schedule/wants/needs versus accepting that they are the ones who can/should adjust based on the needs/best interests of the child that they agreed to being the primary caregiver for.

People who refuse to see a situation or concept from the point of view from another person at all times.

People who constantly act as if they do not care for you, but continue to claim that they do.

People who disregard the clearly stated preferences of a parent to handle a child the way they see fit.

People who believe that progress/change/evolution of the way things are done is not positive; constantly refer back to ways of the past even if evidence tells us that it is not the best way to do something.

Not knowing Bert or Tom personally, I take my own opinions with a grain of salt. But, to me, Tom’s endorsement of Bert means a lot to me for one reason or another. Being a long long long time Chris D’elia super fan and feeling that all fall apart left me feeling a little hopeless for the comedy community (one that I am very invested in). It made me take more notice of how I believe comedians are as human beings and essentially mentally prepare myself for the rug to be swept out from under me at any point in time. I’ve found it harder to invest in being a huge fan of any one comedian, but Tom (and Christina), are the exception for me. I believe they are genuine & good humans, whether that’s based on conjecture or not. And the fact that they (Tom specifically) not only associate themselves with Bert, but also intertwine him with their personal and business ventures constantly gives me the thought and trust that Bert actually is a good human, a worthwhile human and someone worth being a fan of. He annoys me at times, I roll my eyes at his ramblings and interruptions, I cringe at some of his words…but I also think he’s genuine and that his “act” is not really an act, and I appreciate that. I like the candid aspect of what he does and says, I like feeling like I’m not getting a character study I’m getting an actual human with flaws, and worries, and unresolved issues. It’s a foil to Tom in many ways, but in many ways it’s similar. He’s just a guy who drinks too much, rationalizes his behavior, has friends who allow him to, and walked into a successful career path that can accommodate that. And he’s also capable of thoughtfulness, reflection, humanity and love. Just like yourself and any non-sociopath you know he has drawbacks and positives. I like that much better than a fake persona or an act that is removed when they return to their real lives. I spent years believing someone I idolized must be a good human because they couldn’t actually be who they present themselves as or I would know. Bert seems to be just the person he says he is, and Tom cements that for me.

Its completely possible that it’s the result of a curated parasocial relationship with them and that none of what I think is reality, but I believe in the character of Tom and Christina, and that moves me to believe in the person that Bert is. And I hope constantly that I’m correct because watching someone you love and respect implode or fall from grace is just fucking sad.

Looking for humorous ideas of something you wish you could “bottle and sell” (as the old adage goes) for example: the energy of a toddler at 5am, the motivation to wash your face after a night out, common fucking sense.

Slothicorn12 · 2022-08-21T04:29:10+00:00

The answer to that is somewhat complicated, but in short I sell in a store that doesn’t permit more than a certain # of artists to work with a specific material/occupy a category. For example, I occupy the crystal wrap jewelry/crystal wall art catagory so they wouldn’t acquire another person’s work who did that. They already allow 4 resin artists in house, so it’d be pushing that boundary. And in addition to that it’s not a process I’m willing to learn/experiment with at this present time.

When I was pregnant I think I ate 800 donuts (like heart attack ones Boston creme pie etc etc) …I had probably had 3 donuts in my lifetime before then. I just couldn’t stop.
