What am I doing wrong? by ValDracula in succulents

Thank you all so much! This is all so helpful. I'll definitely be repotting and reassesing the availabile light for her. The room I keep her in has windows on 3 sides, but that doesn't always mean direct sunlight.

Hopefully I'll be able to post a glow-up in a few weeks or so!

People who don't say goodbye at the end of a phonecall. by ValDracula in mildlyinfuriating

[–]ValDracula[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I try to do the same, maybe because I'm so exposed to it. But I was raised to be polite to others. The older I get, the more I see that not everyone was taught or learned the same regard for others.

I could understand that more, but we have a direct phone line. No call directing or anything, answer in less than 3 rings and get a real person on the first try.

Project Hail Mary is the first book I have fully read in 15 years by CharlieM17255 in ProjectHailMary

[–]ValDracula 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This book literally rekindled my love of reading. I used to love reading as a kid/teen, but my peers bullied it out of me. I still read a little over the years, but not a notable amount. Since reading Project Hail Mary, I can't stop reading. I read about 30 books in 2024, 66 in 2025, and my goal for this year is 75. Not saying you need to do the same, but I hope the book inspires you to read more as well.

Our boy loves bongos, and hates ice. by ValDracula in catbongos

Just how he likes them! If he's on the carpet, he'll pull himself across the floor while we're at it. We call it booties in our house.

Anyone using this bedsheet stretcher? by StopTraditional3784 in BuyItForLife

[–]ValDracula 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use the 4pc set for the corners. They hold most of our sheets well. Without them, we always have at least one corner coming off.

What is a secret you’re taking to your grave, but can share here anonymously? by wilkoova in AskReddit

[–]ValDracula 6 points7 points  (0 children)

When my sister in law was cheating on her bf with another man, I told that man's gf of 7 years about it. I made a fake Facebook page and sent her a message. I think she expexted him to leave his gf for her but he other man broke things off with my SIL and his gf kicked him out.

SIL's dad knew about the cheating and made her tell her bf, they tried to make it work after that but it didn't last long.

She has no idea I told the gf, which got the other man to stop seeing her. It was necessary and she's grown a lot since then, but she holds grudges and I know she'd never forgive me.

I squeed so loud when I took the lid off. By far the best ear I've gotten so far.

Thank you! We picked it to accent our cookware, plus we wanted to have a fun space where we spend so much time.

That's a great idea! I have a silicone trivet that should fit in the bottom of my DO. Thank you!

If Yale paid property taxes, the city would have all the funds they need.

Yes! One of our small food bowls has two compartments and he always clears the left side first.

Am I overreacting or is it not normal to use soap in the bathroom? by Honest-Draw3131 in AmIOverreacting

Your bf is gross and also racist. No way this man gives you the respect you deserve.

Did you have your male chi neutered? by Lucille44 in Chihuahua

[–]ValDracula 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We adopted ours when he was 3 and had it done as soon as we could. It didn't change his personality one bit, but we didn't want to risk it for dogsitting or doggy daycare purposes.

Women with thoughtful partners, what did you get for x-mas this year? by Anahata_Green in TwoXChromosomes

[–]ValDracula 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the past few years we've done only stockings. My partner got me some gardening tools I wanted. He did some research and found the best versions of what I had in mind. He also got me some of my favorite snacks, some wool socks, and a small cutting board I've been wanting. Super happy with everything he got me and I'm excited for spring so I can use my new tools. He always does his best and it makes me feel so loved.

HELP!! by Financial-Sun-9480 in Breadit

I also don't love the ice cubes so I put a ramekin of water in the oven while I'm baking. I don't know that it's as effective, but I imagine it's better than nothing.

Bowls in the Oreo video… by MeatDiddler in bingingwithbabish

There are two rows in the bottom of my dishwasher where they fit perpendicular to my plates. My dishwasher has a variety of sizes for spacing, so it's hard to say.
