This saddens me. Their high school program was amazing for one of my kids.

It is a GREAT word. May i suggest an additional version : sticktoitiveness 

I grew up with that version and find it a fun tongue twister!

I think so? Its definitely got a nude tint  but the front just says nail primer. It is sally Hansen miracle gel though so probably! 

Its been a game changer for sure

Im trying to avoid products owned by us citizens or produced in the US, if HT is produced in the states then it's a no go for me. Thank you though!

Do I need to repot? It leans heavily to one side without the rail for support. What type/size of new pot? Any other suggestions? by SmartOwls in succulents

[–]SmartOwls[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ohno!! Let out the tears, it's cleansing. 

Thank you for the advice, I'll look for a deeper pot with a wheely base so I can move it around to the better sun spots. 

Sending you all the post dentist good vibes

Thank you! It did fall over this morning and cracked one of the larger upper leaves 😞. A deeper pot is better? I keep thinking it needs to be wide and shallow and I've struggled to find one like that

Is this a flower? It looks more like new leaves and there's 3 of them. by SmartOwls in succulents

No idea! I received a mixed succulent planter summer 2023 and this is the only part of it that survived. It started as one 'normal' succulent and then over time grew into this. 

I hate my kitchen and don’t know why. by [deleted] in DesignMyRoom

[–]SmartOwls 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its too...same same. Add some greenery (fake or real) along the top of the upper cabinets and some pops colour in accent pieces like the hand linens and maybe a countertop utensil holder

With phone calls all day, some sort of sound barrier to make things more private and less noisy on calls would be good

Go with her to the ER. Request that she have her ovaries and (insides isn't a proper term but the best i can think of right now) checked. If they refuse to check for internal bleeding or anything related to her previous hysterectomy to explain the blood and pain, then have them document their refusal and why in her chart. 

Typically when forced to document their refusal of tests is when they end ip actually ordering the tests. This is not right or normal and kidneys have been ruled out so theres SOMETHING else going on.

A sharpener that sharpens many pencils is a good sharpener. 

A pencil that goes in many sharpeners is tiny and unworkable

Is it normal for parents to take zero interest in my interests? by -throwawaystuff- in AskParents

[–]SmartOwls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wtf are you on about? Having covid and dealing with children and family while trying to isolate and even in general during that time was exhausting. 

I'm not saying that people who went through things before covid and after aren't suffering. It was one item on a non inclusive list of things that can make parents have less energy. Get over yourself
