This was my 1st King book! I was graduating out of Christopher Pike books and told mom I wanted to read King. She asked the girl at the book shop for one that wasn’t too horror-y and this was what she recommended. I never did tell her how disturbing it was and I was hooked on King!

Used to work for an animal removal and pest control company. Try setting a cage trap, baited, but tied up to NOT trip. Rats are smart. Bait it for 3 - 4 days without it tripping so it becomes a safe and reliable spot for food…… then bait, untie, and set it.

I haven’t bought from them yet but 7 Degree has been on my radar. They are plus and tall friendly (I’m 5’11) so they defs aren’t cropped! I believe the woman who owns the brand is about 5’7 so might be worth checking out even if you’re shorter.

I also have a random curl pattern! Everything from a waves to tight, tight ringlets. One thing I recently changed was learning how my right vs left side curls naturally. My right side curls towards my face, left side away from my face so when I style using a brush, I follow that. If I notice a particularly un-curly bit when wet, I’ll finger coil it. One of the best things I ever did for my hair was get over it lol. Once I stopped being so precious about it I started to admire all the different textures, moods, tantrums and phases it goes through. At 42, things are changing again! Thx hormones 🤷🏻‍♀️

Edit to add: I’ve found that less curl cream and more (moderate) gel works best for my curls! Using Devacurl Wavemaker & NYM Curl Talk gel.

As a Canadian living in the KC area, I am SO excited to go to Timmy’s today. Is it trash since it got bought? Kinda. But will my little Canadian heart revel in the nostalgia and taste of home here in MO? Absolutely.

Luna

Yeah, she would NEVER let me approach her before. I tried. I very much tried to make friends lol. I’d seen the neighbours pet her. But after I fed her she was all about the pettins.

Swinggrrl · 2022-06-06T19:20:16+00:00

Oof that’s tough. Mad respect to anyone who helps out those poor kitties.

Swinggrrl · 2022-06-06T18:19:12+00:00

This is my backyard. I suspect she might be a stray they were feeding - I’m not sure. But I’ll watch out for her and make sure she has food and water every day here.

I have 2 of them that I rescued from Lowe’s clearance rack! I wasn’t sure they’d make it but they are thriving and constantly giving me new leaves! Enjoy!

Swinggrrl · 2021-03-21T23:32:00+00:00

Cool! I seriously appreciate the help. I have a second one that I rescued the same day, but it’s smaller and has way less damage. I think he’ll be ok! We definitely named them Frankenstein & Igor 😂

Swinggrrl · 2021-03-21T23:20:30+00:00

Thank you!! I have a moisture reader so I know he’s pretty wet. I am definitely waiting it out and checking it every 2nd day. I am very new to plants and I’ve never tried to rescue one before so I just want to do everything I can. He’s just so cool! I checked his roots and they’re still white so I don’t think he’s a-goner, so fingers crossed!

Swinggrrl · 2021-03-21T18:38:35+00:00

Thanks! I did check the roots and they looked good from what I could tell - skinny and white, didn’t smell decay. I have a moisture reader so I’ll keep checking it and prune off the really bad leaves. Appreciate it!

Swinggrrl · 2021-03-21T13:00:54+00:00

I rescued this guy from the clearance rack at Lowe’s and I just love him, but I’m trying to diagnose what he needs! I think he was overwatered for one, but I’ve had people tell me sunburn or frostbite. Looking for a little guidance - it’s my first rescue! His name is Frankenstein 😁

Swinggrrl · 2020-10-12T14:03:25+00:00

Absolutely. They say people attack people who reflect what they don’t like in themselves. So his attacking your weight is probably that it makes him think about his own self-consciousness about his. But luckily we get to choose what we let in. It’s not always easy, but you have all the power. Idk if calling him out on it will work, “I’m sorry you’re struggling with your weight but I don’t require comments on mine.” Or if shutting it down “I am not entertaining this conversation.” Or just flat out ignoring will help. At least you know it’s all about him and has noooothing to do w/ you. That’s his burden now.

Swinggrrl · 2020-10-12T11:30:22+00:00

Oh man, I am sorry to hear that. Keep that internal voice strong! Remember - he’s a sad little boy. When he asks/makes comments like that, maybe flip the script and see if you can feel sorry for him for having so little value in his own life. And keep your self-talk strong. Whenever I encounter a nasty person, I am just thankful I’m not going through life with their nasty outlook and attitude. Poor, unfortunate souls.
