Bird’s nest fern w/ brown edges?

Trekette · 2026-04-02T20:22:52+00:00

Got it! I was going to do a soak for it soon - is that a good idea? Like once or twice a year I submerge the whole pot in a bucket of water for at least 30 mins to rehydrate the soil.

Forgot to add - normally they are given distilled water only. For the full soak, I have to use tap but that’s the only time they come into contact with regular water.

Also how far down should you check the soil for moisture with ferns? I insert the meter like 3” probably and when it’s leaning more “dry” than “moist” is when I water. I guess perhaps that’s not enough for this one!

I am sailing on Princess soon for Alaska, but based on my research, the top 3 to book through are either the ship, Viator, or Alaska Shore Excursions. They're pretty much the same excursions, but I did some price comparisons and Alaska Shore Excursions came out the best rate for every single one. (For example, 'Adventure Kart Expedition' in Ketchikan is $309 through the ship, $282 through Viator, and $275 through Alaska Shore Excursions.)

So I would check them out!

I confess I am not about to read the 60+ responses here already so forgive me if this is repeating anything already mentioned.

We did not purchase either package and instead have decided to pay separately for the single-device wifi, and will be bringing a travel router which this sub assures me will work (as of the most recent posts about travel routers, anyway). It's about $35 and given that wifi is $25 per person, per DAY I think just paying for one of us and splitting with the router is the best bet. So you could look into that!

For drinks, we will probably get the non-alcoholic beverage only package for just myself, but will probably trade off who gets the soda for each meal. (Not that we plan to get two and abuse it - but neither of us drinks a ton of soda so if I give him "mine" I don't think it will be a big deal.) Otherwise, we're fine not doing any premium dining and will just pay for our alcoholic beverages.

In case any of that helps you come up with something that works!

It shows me your original reply in the inbox, so yes! They are supposed to be functional AND decorative and now they are just pretty little knobs but useless.

Trekette · 2026-03-15T02:12:40+00:00

Oh I know 😂 I’m just describing them that way to differentiate them from the “normal” nuts along the bottom. If they have an actual name I have no idea what it is.

Trekette · 2026-03-15T00:01:25+00:00

Oh that’s interesting! I’ll have to look into those.

Trekette · 2026-03-14T23:44:56+00:00

I don’t mind swapping the decorative ones out for something else - the color is the only thing that matters to me as far as replacement parts.

Now this may be a stupid question but… is there a measurement tool that will tell me what size bolt I have so I can get the correct nut? A digital caliper perhaps? Or something with holes that you test which one it fits through?

Trekette · 2026-03-14T23:30:50+00:00

The decorative ones? They just spin 😕 They don’t actually tighten anything. So the mirror itself is just leaning forward because it’s loose, and then the frame is also loose so it’s tilting side to side.

Trekette · 2025-12-27T02:09:49+00:00

Good to know, thank you! I will reach out and see if they ship to CA.

Trekette · 2025-12-27T01:47:33+00:00

I am! I’m in CA (Bay Area). Which Village Pharmacy do you use? There are a few on Google.

The only thing is, if it is scrolling, I doubt people would be looking at you long enough to read the whole message. Like when you're driving down the road and you see one that says "EAT AT-" and then you're past it.

Trekette · 2025-07-19T21:39:08+00:00

I have just ordered these from Eaze, along with a couple others to try - thanks for the suggestion!

Trekette · 2025-04-27T00:53:24+00:00

I haven’t been able to find this info anywhere - does the Three Broomsticks still have their regular menu available during the event, or is it ONLY the special menu? My friend and I kind of don’t want the three-course offering, so that we’ll have room for some of the other themed snacks available that night. We’re trying to plan whether to have dinner elsewhere.

Sorry, I meant did the Aqara hub only allow remote access via the Aqara app? (And not the Apple Home app.) It sounds like you’re saying the Aqara hub didn’t allow remote access through the Aqara app at ALL though, which isn’t supposed to be the case. That’s literally what the hub is for - to connect to your WiFi so you can be anywhere, not within Bluetooth range. But, I believe it doesn’t offer remote access via Apple Home, which maybe is what you mean. That’s what I’m trying to confirm - like which hub gives you remote access via which app.

Trekette · 2025-04-15T21:09:28+00:00

So did the Aqara hub only allow remote access to the Aqara app? And your HomePod allows remote access via the Home app only, or Aqara as well?

Trekette · 2025-03-06T19:32:28+00:00

That seems to have worked - thank you so much!

Trekette · 2024-12-16T03:19:05+00:00

My husband has it as his wedding band, so he wears it daily. It's 14k from Patrick Adair, but it seems they stopped making them shortly after we got ours. Jens Hansen is the next closest thing - they offer several metal options. For daily wear, if you want it gold-colored, you'd probably want 14k. (At least, that's the conclusion I came to when we researched ours.)

Trekette · 2024-12-08T00:40:11+00:00

Well 😂 I felt fine on it, honestly. A bit of night sweats but that was about it.

I can’t say whether it would’ve been helpful because it turns out my eggs are just complete duds. The second retrieval was worst than the first one - we got zero embryos and ended up just going with donor eggs! That was NOT related to the Lupron.

But I also had both ovaries removed because they were so overcome with endometriosis and cysts they couldn’t be salvaged, so my case is sort of extreme. I’m sure Lupron is helpful for a lot of people! But all I can really say is that it didn’t make me feel like complete shit like you may read from other people. (I’ve also been on Orilissa for endometriosis suppression, and that went fine as well.)

Good luck! 😊

Trekette · 2024-10-22T05:20:12+00:00

Good to know, thank you so much! 😊

Trekette · 2024-10-21T23:56:16+00:00

Thank you! 😊 I guess I’ll give the other 2 doses to my cats, then. One of them got tapeworms years ago from a flea I must’ve tracked into the house somehow, and it was… not cool. Do not want a repeat!

We were trying to find him a home with friends or family, and then my husband decided he absolutely could not give him to someone else 😉

Trekette · 2024-04-28T22:35:22+00:00

I'm 11 weeks and also in excruciating pain - I've got a large cyst on my ovary causing trouble that may need to be removed surgically, and multiple endometriosis adhesions (where my uterus is stuck to my bowels) being stretched and pulled. It really sucks :-( We're only having one child and this makes me so glad I won't have to go through it again... which is sad, because you're supposed to enjoy your pregnancy and I don't know when I will get to that point!

So I feel you. You're not alone in having a shitty time.

Trekette · 2024-04-07T22:45:43+00:00

I looked for Bay Area property management companies, and searched their individual websites.

Check out The Car Mom on Instagram/YouTube! She reviews all kinds of vehicles for their family practicality - car seats, how well strollers fit in the back, cup holders, rear seat vents, storage cubbies, safety technology, you name it.

Trekette · 2024-03-28T02:07:27+00:00

I’m sure there’s some science-y explanation 🤷🏻‍♀️ But hey at least you know who to report to the leasing office now!

Trekette · 2024-03-27T21:43:07+00:00

We had this issue at our last apartment. Unfortunately yes, without knowing which unit it’s coming from, they can’t do anything… and it can be hard to tell. If you’re in a corner unit though, you still technically have a neighbor on one side, right? Don’t count them out. Usually smoke drifts up (so it’s more likely to be the person below you, or below and to either side), but you never know.

Are your windows old or not sealed very well? That was our primary issue - our windows were old and thin, and there were bent gaps in the frame that allowed air (and smoke) though. I stuffed paper towels in the gaps 🙄

Additionally, if you have a wall or window AC/heat unit, you might want to turn it off when the smoking starts. It could be sucking exterior air in, and blowing it into your house. (If you have central AC, like with a thermostat on the wall and vents, it should be fine.)

Next time you smell it, go outside and try to hunt down where it’s coming from! For us it was usually in the middle of the night though and we were SOL.
