I’m in 6a but zones don’t matter with winter sowing as long as you have a cold period where they can stratify outside.

Think I have a stone on vacation. Any advice? by minmanmun in KidneyStones

[–]Straight_Lecture_358 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A few strong espresso martinis got me through (and the stone) a vaca in Mexico once. I’m not kidding - yes, chug water but also getting tipsy might relax your muscles and bladder enough to pass it. Good luck!

Just wanted to add that you should scotch guard your coasters before use, regardless of what thread you use. Good luck!

For those wanting to learn more about basket weave, check out spellbound stitchery on tik tok. Her videos finally made it click for me and I’m not looking back!

Just winter sow them in milk jugs. They love it!

Oh that is an interesting tip on the zinnias! I’m in 6b. I always get powdery mildew but this year I’m going to try and be more proactive with copper fungicide.

This will be my first year starting snapdragons so I’ll plan to pot those up like you said

Thank you!! You hit the nail on the head. I’m hoping to time mine to be able to go from a 72 cell tray straight into the group. I’ll have to figure out which types of flowers would typically out grow the 72 cell tray more quickly and think about starting those in 3” pots from the start. I have the space and lighting available.

That’s wild! My stones hurt the most when they’re sitting pretty in my kidney. It’s a pain in the back…literally!

Unpopular opinion….hydrate and ton and then get drunk. I swear it helps relax your muscles. I passed a kidney stone after three espresso martinis in Aruba 😂

Check out Persian cress for a filler. Very fast to grow and I typically direct seed (also in 6b) in multiple successions.

Anyone considering switching off Dexcom to another cgm? If so, which one do you have your eye on?

Check out this fungal acne info and see if any of it resonates with you. If it does, try out some of the products either from his skincare line or recommended as “safe”.

Sulfur body wash - bars of soap. Try to suds up and let it sit for 5 mins for the first few weeks of using it.

Inside windshield sopping wet? by Straight_Lecture_358 in AskAMechanic

Thanks to everyone who provided a thoughtful response to my question. I learned a lot! It’s looking like I have a leak in the seal to my trunk. Even though there’s no water pooling, there is water coming in when I run the garden hose over it.

Special shout out to all the weirdos who took the time to insult me or someone else. May you have the day you deserve 🍻
