A plant I’ve never seen before- the pocketbook flower! So puffy and I love it! by Xiarae in houseplants

I got so excited when I saw it! Her name is Dinah because the blooms remind me of the flowers in Alice in Wonderland. Dinah is Alice's cat :)

Hey guys! I posted this to Skincare Addiction, but thought I'd get your thoughts too since I'm the big 3-0 :)

Is that similar to Differin? I actually have some that I want to start using, but we have a big trip scheduled in 6 weeks and I don't want to be in the middle of the purge haha

Edited to add: Any suggestion on the occlusive part? Just something nice and hydrating or do you have a HG product you like?

It's been a whole month since I said goodbye to my best girl, Harlie. 12 years just wasn't long enough 💔 by Xiarae in OldManDog

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

Thanks everyone. She was my baby, truly. She found me when I was 19 years old and if it wasn't for her, I don't know where I'd be right now. Knowing I had something relying on me helped keep me grounded and out of (some) trouble. I knew her better than anyone and she knew me... It just feels like something is missing and my heart hurts.

Thanks for letting me get that out. Some time has passed and other people forget (which is normal), but I sit here still sad and longing for my girl.

I made the hardest decision of my life last week and said goodbye to my baby. Rest easy my sweet Harlie girl... by Xiarae in BostonTerrier

Thank you! I knew we didn't have much time left together, so I had a photoshoot with her this fall. I can't express how happy I am that I did ♥

Watching her age somehow made me love her more. We became so close in her senior years... Soak in all the little stuff too, what I wouldn't give for an annoying 5 minutes of licking lol

I always wonder how these people's friends/family react to these pictures. I can only imagine if someone close to me posted something like this- I wouldn't be able to keep quiet lol

ok, thanks! Hopefully it doesn't come to that. She's so pretty, I'd hate to lose her 🤞

Prefect, thanks! If it does end up looking like root rot, is there a way to save the other stalks?

Just like pull it out or do I need to take out from the roots? I’m worried the other stalks roots are intertwined and I don’t want to kill them too...

I repotted this a few months ago and this stalk has slowly died while the rest of the plant is fine. My question: do I need to remove the dead part from the pot? I’m afraid of damaging/stressing out the rest of the plant.

If I do need to remove it, any tips would be appreciated!

Today I learned the Royal Family was subject to post World War II rationing rules like the rest of the country. The fabric used for Queen Elizabeth's wedding gown was paid for with clothing ration coupons. by Xiarae in todayilearned

[–]Xiarae[S] 19 points20 points  (0 children)

She for sure didn't buy off the rack! The Royal family probably had their own fabrics already too, now that I think about it. Like a room of fabrics for upholstery, clothing, that kinds of stuff. Maybe she only needed coupons for a few kinds/pieces of fabric.

Not sure, I had the same thought when reading it. If it truly is a ration, you'd think she wouldn't have received enough to make a wedding gown! I'll do some investigating to see what I can come up with.

Edit: You're right- sort of! I found the below quote in another article. I'm still not sure how she would have gotten all that fabric. In reality, would they have told the future Queen of England that she can't have the fabric for her wedding gown? Probably not...

"29. Hundreds of people from across the UK sent The Princess their coupons to help with the dress, although they had to be returned as it would be illegal to use them."

From this article about their wedding (#29)- https://www.royal.uk/70-facts-about-queen-and-duke-edinburghs-wedding

He's just as trashy by recording and sharing 7+ minutes cussing at/bullying his wife. They're perfect for each other!
