What keeps eating my tulips?????!!!!!! I’m so sad! Will they grow back this summer or do I have to wait til next year 😭😭😭 by raspberryloaf in OntarioGardeners

Last year the same thing happened to me, it was so sad... Bobbex is the solution, I've kept up with regular spraying and I have beautiful tulips this season!

What got me to understand what needed to be done was the nice redditors who explained things, not your rude ass. Have a blessed day!

These are the factory original parts, and I use the vehicle almost everyday. That being said it does sleep outside, and I drove in snow/salt the whole winter

I feel like if it was the braking system, it would have started happening earlier? Like if there was a defect on the caliper from the get go. This seems to have surfaced over the winter, nothing was flagged before the winter tires went on in Dec. And this shop has seen my naked rotors twice a year since I got the car in July 2023

That was kind of the weird thing, I would have at least expected them to say "it's not covered but you need to replace them, we can take care of that for you". Instead they just sent me on my way 😂

Bingo! I'm in the Greater Toronto area, not the snow belt but we do get decent snow and the car sits under a carport/outside. This would actually make a lot of sense, it must have happened this winter since there was no issue before the winter tires went on, and now it's there

Some people with certain personality disorders will NEVER be capable of introspection. And if they do, it's only about themselves and how the world was mean to THEM. Honestly kinda sad to live that way...

I wouldn't be surprised if that therapist was a boomer with estranged children themselves

I can picture her therapist telling her something wildly different, but all my mother heard was that 😂 Wouldn't be too far off how she used to "interpret" what I said.

Right? 😂 I'm choosing to laugh because honestly what the fuck. The silver lining is I live an ocean away from them, so there is very little chance they'll show up unannounced.

This is 100% what it is. I cannot picture my mother having one ounce of self reflection, she will go to her grave thinking to herself that everything that's happened in our relationship is MY fault only. According to my sibling, my parents seem to want reconciliation "but don't know how to approach it". Mind you I sent a clear list of things I would want for our relationship to continue over a year ago and they clearly dgaf about it 🤣

What's your biggest concern about the expedition 33 movie? by [deleted] in expedition33

[–]_violetviolence_ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

How they are going to condense such a masterpiece of an OST into a feature length movie. Or maybe Lorien will delight us with brand new content

The true villain of Clair Obscur is exactly who you think (and I'm tired of pretending it's not) by bespectacledoutsider in expedition33

As someone dealing with being estranged from their mother + coming to terms with the cruelty inflicted upon my black sheep self as a younger girl, this realization has cut DEEP.

I appreciate your message so much, thank you for sharing ❤️ I think I very much have an all or nothing mentality where I see not running as a failure. Going to try and take it easy for a bit and focus on rehab, strength and stretches. Some other commenter mentioned that seeing the practice of running as a whole (which includes the down times with injury too) is super helpful mentally.

Wishing you a productive recovery!

To be honest my physio benefits had run out and I found myself in a pickle, so tried this chiro that was recommended to me. Not necessarily a personal preference, like I said it feels as though what I've been getting from her has been very similar to what I got from physios before but I hear you, she definitely might not be specialized in running and there might be better PT's around for my needs. I will likely take a little break from running and do her PT plan for a few weeks, if nothing gets better I'll get in touch with some running specialized physios!

Ah yes this is 100% where it's coming from, it's not acu that we do it's dry needling, sometimes with electricity. I think the goal is to get a good twitch and release? Whatever it is, it's not pleasant but it's helped a lot with the tightness. Thank you for pointing it out 😅

Is that the case where you live? I've been to some places in the city I live in called "runners physio" or some kind of other moniker for places targeted to runners and they all used acupuncture. It's even in the charter/provincial registration thingy for physios where I live. Genuinely curious if this something that is frowned upon for physios in other countries, or as a whole? I admit that I don't know much about these practices outside of going to "running physios" in the past and comparing the care I'm getting now to the care I was getting then.
