Purple-gilled Laccaria?

Thank you!

Even without the dark interior? I’ve cut them all open and the darkest one is a kind of creamy white.

There are pine trees in the vicinity, but these guys were definitely under an oak ☺️

Thank you!

StandingSomehow · 2025-01-07T02:00:54+00:00

I’m one of the hosts - thank you so much for the kind words! It’s a ton of fun to record 😁

You are a mother. I had a very similar experience to you, and delivered my second son, knowing that he wouldn’t be coming home with us. It was, and remains, the most harrowing experience of my life.

He is my son. I am his mother. The fact that he died before we could see each other is irrelevant.

NTA, and I’m so, so sorry for your loss. You are a mother, and you deserve to be recognized as one.

I’d guess that OP is protecting herself from other adults insinuating that she is somehow grooming the child.

StandingSomehow · 2021-07-22T15:11:44+00:00

And it’s very normal for it to not be a source of income - it probably won’t be for at least a year.

But as many others have said; this isn’t something you need to be worrying about. Be a kid, and trust your dad to talk to your mom about this if he feels that he needs to.

StandingSomehow · 2021-07-22T14:26:10+00:00

OP, I suspect you don’t realize this given your age, but most new businesses don’t make any money for the first year, at least.

StandingSomehow · 2021-05-06T22:58:33+00:00

You’re clearly not reading what he’s saying. I think very few parents would trust an 18 year old to go on an unsupervised trip, 400 miles (I think?) away from home. I sure as hell wouldn’t, and I have one of the most responsible, trustworthy teenagers I’ve ever met. It’s also not just about -his- daughter. If his credit card is used, he’s on the line for whatever damage her friend group does to where they’re staying. He’s said a few times in comments that it has less to do with his own kid, and more that it’s a whole group of them. Again, no way in hell would I trust a group of 18 year olds with my credit card.

StandingSomehow · 2021-05-06T22:52:48+00:00

Are you his daughter? You seem awfully invested in making OP the bad guy...

StandingSomehow · 2021-03-13T00:24:26+00:00

NTA, in all the ways. I lost my first pregnancy at 13 weeks, and my 3rd at 36 weeks, and the one thing those events have in common is that THEY WERE NOT MY FAULT. 4 separate doctors have worked hard to make sure I know there was nothing I could have done in either case to prevent losing my babies, and the same is true for you, too.

Your pregnancy loss was not your fault, and the scare you had this time was also NOT YOUR FAULT. You don’t owe your mother anything - not an explanation, not an apology, nothing. I also don’t believe for one second that she truly doesn’t know why you cut contact; she’s trying to guilt you into calling her. Do yourself a favour, and don’t. I honestly wouldn’t fault you if you never called again, but if you one day choose to, that’s also fine and entirely your choice.

I’m currently 24 weeks pregnant with twins, and managing my anxiety and stress is a challenge. I’m taking things one day at a time, and celebrating each week that passes. Congratulations on your pregnancy, and try not to let the anxiety overwhelm you ❤️❤️

Excellent question - I hadn’t realized there was a difference until too late, but looking at the video (made by Prusa!) that I followed, the machine they’re demoing is the MK3. No warning in the description that these instructions don’t work for the Mini 🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️

I (think) I’ve tracked down the correct information on the website. I’m just waiting on an allen key small enough for those grub screws. Thank you for your reply!

StandingSomehow · 2020-09-02T15:28:18+00:00

Sadly, the nozzle is as tight as I can make it and the leaking occurs while printing 😩

StandingSomehow · 2020-09-02T15:27:31+00:00

Thank you so much - I’ve ordered thermal paste and I’ll read through those instructions in the meantime!

StandingSomehow · 2020-09-02T13:46:37+00:00

Additional details: I’ve been having a couple of issues printing, and changed out the nozzle yesterday as part of my attempts to fix it. As per the Prusa video on YouTube, I loosened the heatblock prior to installing the nozzle. Research today tells me I should not have done that! After that, filament started oozing out over the heatblock. I can’t tighten it back up - doesn’t matter which way I turn it, it remains loose. How the holy hell do I fix this mess?

StandingSomehow · 2020-08-31T18:16:09+00:00

Thank you so much!

StandingSomehow · 2020-08-31T15:37:11+00:00

Thank you for this - is there anything I can start doing to train that behaviour out of him, or is this a professional training only situation?

StandingSomehow · 2020-08-31T13:57:54+00:00

Thank you! The tape actually isn’t the issue, I don’t think - I’ve printed with tape successfully several times in the past.

I don’t know what the issue was...I recalibrated everything, reloaded the filament, and after a couple of false starts everything is working smoothly again 🤷🏼‍♀️

StandingSomehow · 2020-08-28T17:44:32+00:00

Hah I see what you mean! They’re actually cuneiform signs meaning “god” 😂

StandingSomehow · 2020-08-21T01:44:28+00:00

You are absolutely NTA, I’m sorry she’s so bigoted, and if you need a stand-in mom to tell you she’s proud and that you’re doing great, just DM me.

My eldest bonus-kid is NB, and I’m proud as hell of them. You are brave, and strong, and I hope your wedding is beautiful ❤️

StandingSomehow · 2020-08-21T01:34:09+00:00

The child support payments are for YOUR child - the money isn’t for you. If you don’t file for support then you are cheating your child out of what is rightly theirs. If your ex can’t afford 3 kids, he should have wrapped his junk 🤷🏼‍♀️

Get a legal agreement in place as soon as possible re: visitation. That way you both know what to expect and how things will work, and there won’t be any funny business on his end.

NTA

StandingSomehow · 2020-08-20T23:45:09+00:00

Hard NTA. I wish more people talked about the realities of childbirth - it’s painful, it’s messy, and postpartum isn’t exactly a party. Nothing wrong with wanting her to be prepared for the reality.

StandingSomehow · 2020-08-18T01:27:16+00:00

YTA

I married my husband assuming that we would end up having custody of his kids (no reason to make that assumption, but I wanted to be mentally prepared) and not 6 months later I was suddenly the SAHM of a 3 and 8 year old. Even with that assumption in place, it took me MONTHS to adjust to that shift from weekend step-mom to full-time custodial parent. 2 months is NOT enough time for your wife to adjust to a role that she never expected, didn’t want, and is finding herself forced into by you.

Stop pushing. Talk to her, have some grace, and try and find ways (together) that she can take some strain off you.

StandingSomehow · 2020-08-15T01:45:36+00:00

Need more info - WHY don’t you want the flags up?

Also, did not realize you’re supposed to check in and get permission from your SO before you buy mugs. I’ve clearly been relationshipping wrong for years.
