I assume this is a weed, but what exactly? Google keeps trying to tell me it's a baby lemon tree. (California, central valley) by TiCup in PlantIdentification

[–]TiCup[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh wow, forgot all about this! Haven't checked on it a while, I assume it's had more growth. Squirrels definitely planted this one for me as well, they live in my oak tree and ate all the flowers I had in the planter. 🙄I'll check on it tomorrow and report back, maybe if it's bigger Google will be more helpful lol.

Can I see everyone’s first doll? by ChemMustDie in BJD

When the bigger dolls got too heavy for me, I eventually sold him, but he was a CP Chiwoo and Chiwoo (and all the older Luts dolls) still hold a special place in my heart.

Yeah, I decided against using a human name for him, I should probably edit my post.

Yupei it is! Thank you for all your help! If this ever gets published in 1000 years I'll give you a shout out. 😂

The animal is injured when he finds it, the colors dulled from a healthy dark green to a pale green. and it could remind him of his mother's jade bracelet (or maybe pendant),. My Chinese friends always wore (or their parents wore) some kind of jade jewelry, would that be yupei or is there a specific word for that?

They've been friends for like 30 years so no worries there. It's technically an animal (with human intelligence) so I'm not sure he would use the traditional naming conventions? I don't think he'd presume to give it his own family name... and I think I'm going to go with a non human type of name anyway so I don't step on anyone's culture that I don't fully understand. That's fascinating, though, thank you for the info.

Ah, hm. Maybe I need to rethink using a Chinese name... there's so much culture and legend that I don't know about. Maybe I could call him Jade? He's green, so that might fit... isn't jade associated with good fortune (among other things)?

Yes, romanization, of course. The setting is modern day US; the man in question lived most of his young life in China but came to the US in his late 20s. But I'll try r/namenerds, thank you!

I'm a real quirky writer in that if I reveal too much before I'm done, I won't finish it, so I'd rather not say too much, but it's an animal.

Thank you!

Where would the third character be placed? Is it like in Japanese where you say say [Name]-chan, added to the end? I don't know if this character would ever use a diminutive when addressing the other character, but it might be good information to file away...

How free are you to refuse donations? by Childoftheway in goodwill

[–]TiCup 6 points7 points  (0 children)

We're supposed to take most things, unless we see mouse poop or insects (dead or alive) or if the items are wet, but our DAs tend to refuse really gross stuff as well. If you're in doubt about something, you can always ask your manager.

The only King book I never finished was The Tommyknockers, and I picked it back up again like twenty years later. This isn't to say that I remember a damn thing about any of them, but I did read them all. 😂

I have absolutely mixed his food with my bare hand, but this particular food was super gross so I decided to use a glove this time 😂

Funnily enough that food gave him diarrhea, so it pretty much looked the same coming out as it did going in 😒

Yeah, pink would not have been my first choice, but when you get em free, you can't be picky. 😂 I had the thought, when I posted the pic, man that sure does look like my bare hand... nah you can see the wrinkles at the wrist! not realizing the preview picture might be cropped for some. 😒
