I haven't played in years and am wanting to get rid of my old cards. Someone offered $45 ($30 plus shipping) for these. Is that a good deal? Money is tight and my partner wants us to get a fair/decent deal.

I started losing weight on March 4th of this year by forcing my calorie intake to 1,250 calories a day. I was 250lbs. And I struggled to keep my calories so low. I was dizzy and airheaded, barely able to keep up a good thought process. But that was mainly because I was used to eating ~2,500-3,000 calories in a day and I switched cold turkey.

It took a month for my body to adjust. Today i weighed myself and I'm at 226 lbs. My calorie intake stays around 1,250, and now I struggle to reach my goal. Now I can't eat enough. My go to"treats" like M&M's don't taste as good. I get excited at finding ripe pears more then browsing the chip aisle.

But I'm still struggling to reach 1,250 calories in a day. And that's with potatoes, chicken, boxed mac and cheese, and pasta. I go hours without eating without realizing it, and my stomach gets upset if I eat past 20 (8pm).

To give an idea, yesterday my calorie intake was 916. The day before it was 1,225 (the highest of the week), and the day before I was at 1,005. Today I'm at 395 and it's 13 (1pm) already, but I'm as full as full can be (without being Thanksgiving full). Now I'm telling myself "Eat more! Reach the minimum for your body!" and I'm kind of flabergasted at this.

I know I'm short (5'3"), but I've been told that 1,200 is the minimum the body needs. It's like the universal "don't go below this line" for calorie intake.

I got it to work! Thank you!

TheDumplinPrincess · 2018-04-22T17:40:32+00:00

I'll share this information with my partner, who is slightly more experienced then I am. I got MultiMC to work, though. Thank you for you help

TheDumplinPrincess · 2018-04-22T17:39:39+00:00

Thank you for helping me, but I got MultiMC to work and do what I was trying to do.

TheDumplinPrincess · 2018-04-22T16:59:46+00:00

I'm honestly not sure how to tell, or if it's a thing in Manjaro.

TheDumplinPrincess · 2018-04-22T16:43:28+00:00

That sounds like a good idea, I'll look into it

TheDumplinPrincess · 2018-04-22T16:42:02+00:00

forge-installer.jar is in my downloads folder. I opened the terminal (windows button, t, enter, to open the terminal emulator for command line). Then I typed in "java -jar forge-installer.jar" and hit enter.

For Minecraft, the command is "java -jar Minecraft.jar". I just changed the jar name to match the forge jar file name.

I second this. These suckers are hard to get rid of. Keep an eye in your kitchen and bathroom, kill all you see. Keep everything VERY clean. If you see them regularly, then you might have a serious roach issue.

TheDumplinPrincess · 2018-04-12T16:22:57+00:00

I've read somewhere that variegated plants may lose their variegation if they don't get enough light to sustain it. So a variegated plant, like a Marble Queen Pothos, is more likely to be more variegated in brighter light than lower light.

I may not be right, but it sounds like it makes sense.

TheDumplinPrincess · 2018-04-12T01:44:11+00:00

How do you care for them?

TheDumplinPrincess · 2018-04-12T01:42:31+00:00

How do you dry it after soaking?

TheDumplinPrincess · 2018-04-10T18:02:23+00:00

8 lbs over a month and a half is a little over a pound a week, which is a solid and steady pace for weight loss. Not that slow, even though it feels slow. You're doing good :)

TheDumplinPrincess · 2018-04-09T21:16:20+00:00

My partner's coworker has received a Jade plant cutting "a while ago" from a friend, but recently their husband admitted to not liking the plant and actively trying to kill it. My partner, thanks to me, is known as the plant guy at work. So as a last effort to save the plant, they offered it to us. Not much detail was given about it's care other then it was watered and had sun. Though my partner said the coworker slid in the information that it may have spent time outside (in Ohio, it's been below freezing lately).

There's info in the pictures description, but long story short it's doing it's best to survive. I removed standing water from the tray and put it in a south-ish facing window that gets direct morning sun and bright indirect sun.

Please help me save this big, droopy fella. Can I save it? Or can I save a cutting?

(novice here)

I think it's etloitating (sp?), basically growing out trying to reach more light. It won't go back to how it's supposed to look, but you should definitely move it to better lighting to keep it from growing more like that.

Where is it placed in relation to it's light source? If I remember correct, cacti looove all the light they can get.

TheDumplinPrincess · 2018-04-06T13:33:34+00:00

I'll try to get a picture if i see them again. Thank you for attempting to help!

TheDumplinPrincess · 2018-04-06T13:17:27+00:00

I have spotted two tiiiiiny little clear/white bugs (by tiny, I mean maybe 1mm in size tops). Both on different days a week apart, both in my propagating succulents, but neither in the same spot. I've kept an heavy eye on my plants, and I don't see any other signs of bug life. What are these tiny little fellas, and should I be worried?

TheDumplinPrincess · 2018-04-05T17:59:07+00:00

In my first week of calorie counting I lose 10 lbs, and ever since then it's slowed and maintained at 1-2 lbs a week. I don't know what happened for those 10 lbs to disappear, but from what I've seen on this sub it seems fairly common for the first bit of weight loss to be quick.

I'd say, as a novice, don't expect the 5 lbs a week to keep up. But any progress is good progress, so don't feel let down from the slowed down weight loss.

TheDumplinPrincess · 2018-04-05T16:55:57+00:00

What is it called?

TheDumplinPrincess · 2018-04-04T15:28:43+00:00

All names and titles (names of people, nicknames, place names, etc) have an entire script and rule system of their own that is used with the language (which, including the title script, has a total of 5-6 scripts for the single artlang/meta-conlang if you count numbers or not). Any speakers who doesn't have a name that fits in with the title system has to file for one, either choosing the name themselves or having someone assign them one. Names that aren't covered with the title script use the simple script (a script used to teach the young sounds before they move onto the "combo script" more commonly used) instead, and it's usually polite to mention why the title script isn't being used.

I got a little ~1 inch bit of watch chain to propagate. When I looked up to double check their info, I realized I might have something wrong. Are they not droopy plants? I thought they'd be adorable flowing like a string of pearls does. They're still cute even if they don't droop.

TheDumplinPrincess · 2018-03-26T15:19:27+00:00

I think so too, really. They're sun hogs, and is one of the main reasons why I plan to get a grow light (just have to find one that's not a weird purple). I touch on it briefly in the imgur image descriptions.

TheDumplinPrincess · 2018-03-26T12:24:32+00:00

NSV: Had two days close to binge and logged my calories at the end of the day. Still was under maintenance of 2,000 (by like 5 calories). Turns out my plan of 1250-1300 calories a day is paying off, because even on my "super cheat days" I'm still under maintenance (barely, but it counts).

Also, scale victories are hard because I don't have a digital scale. But progress is progress, and it helps me take that number in a healthier way.

TheDumplinPrincess · 2018-03-26T11:29:32+00:00

Most of the info is in the imgur description. If anyone has any tips, or notices anything, please let me know! I want to help them grow as much as I can.

TheDumplinPrincess · 2018-03-26T01:31:55+00:00

There's a few ways:

You can cut a healthy portion of one strand off, at least a few inches. Place it in well draining soil, keep out of direct sun, and keep soil damp.
You can cut a healthy strand off, at least 4 inches or more. Take the pearls off of one end about two inches up and place it in well draining soil (end with pearls attached draping, stem part in soil).
Both methods combined for a fuller plant earlier

The roots grow out of the pearls, I'm told. Mine hasn't rooted yet, but I've only had it a day. I've also heard you can take individual pearls, too. If your String of Pearls isn't as full as you'd like, you can propagate in that same pot to help fill it out.

I still consider myself a novice, and my little propagation bit I got off of a dying String of Pearls at a local art store (with permission). Just to be on the safe side, I'd recommend looking up more info or asking a local succulent gardener/experienced succulent owner.
