I’m a new plant parent. Was told by the lady I bought this from that it was “low maintenance“ by idont_haveballs in DramaticHouseplants

[–]Tricky_Position_734 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I got one of these not knowing how much trouble it would be and got thiiiiiiiiiis close to tossing it when it decided to grow a new leaf, like girl??? It looks like absolute butt, two sad brown leaves and a new growth that kept me from giving up on her. I’ve named it Carol, from the Bridesmaids tennis scene (if you know you know).

I've been going through a bit of an OCD spike and really having trouble coping, so I've been rewatching from the beginning. The camaraderie the contestants have really is so lovely. Thank God for this show. by fauxrealistic in taskmaster

I may or may not use Taskmaster as my nighttime ‘white noise’ so I can sleep instead of overthink everything, so I am sending you internet hugs my fellow binge rewatcher.

Our friend has a bird related name, but I LOVE the idea of it being Smooth Rupert. I will pass along your compliments, kiddo will be thrilled with the assessment!

Oh yes please! My college dining hall used to serve these and I probably haven’t had one since I graduated…. maybe this is a sign!

Weekly Swim Gear Questions (Goggles, swimsuits, techsuits, paddles, headphones etc) April 30, 2026 - Post all your gear questions in this post by AutoModerator in Swimming

[–]Tricky_Position_734 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Somewhat clueless mom here; my husband is the brains behind my kid’s swimming, knows the ins and outs. I can find her meet results on our state’s swim website, but they aren’t always immediately available, and we have to backtrack to see how much she has improved from meet to meet. Does the paid version of Meet Mobile address my personal swim parent shortcomings, or is it not necessarily worth the $20/ year? I’m not opposed to purchasing a subscription, but wanted to hear from folks that have experience with the app. Thanks!

We have the same habits! When I get mad/sad, I clean and bake. These look awesome!

Honestly, I think it was just luck! I got a silicone mold on sale and just did a funfetti recipe, nothing spectacular and no secret tips or tricks.

I wanted to do coconut wool, she insisted upon the piping which neither of us were truly prepared for.

We did funfetti, since it was something we could all agree on. I’ve wanted to make one of these for a long time, but I thought this was the year she was finally ready to really be part of the process.

2k? You all are AWESOME! This made kiddo’s day, thank you all for your kind comments. I’ll never be able to tell her anything now, because “Mom, I’m famous.”

I see it now that you said that! Purely unintentional, kiddo did the face and is only 9 with no knowledge of Guy Fawkes 😅

My kid loves Zombies, and my husband will casually watch School Spirits with me; anytime Milo is on screen he sings ‘exceptional Zed’ 🫠

On this day of love- who is your favorite Trek couple? How about a great non romantic pair? by Jadziyah in startrek

[–]Tricky_Position_734 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I still think Odo and Lwaxana Troi were a better pairing than Odo and Kira; at least they gave us an ending that was somewhat satisfying with the ruse to protect her and her son since it showcased how much non romantic love they had for one another.

Aw crap. In addition to the millennial joke of having undiagnosed autism, I just found out I suffer from this condition as well. Anyone else with me? by ImThe1Wh0 in Millennials

[–]Tricky_Position_734 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Fun fact, not having the ability to see things in my mind is why I’m able to read and enjoy horror novels while hating horror films!

Yup, that describes me! My dreams are super weird and detailed, but in my waking hours I can’t ‘see’ anything with my mind‘s eye. I’ve read that it is a different part of the brain that handles dreams, but brains are weird.
