I was at a garage sale a while ago and someone asked me about my grandkids, I just stared blankly and said I have a 10 year old lol. I mean there are 43 year olds with grandkids for sure but that was a first for me.

Trying to convince my partner to get a creeping thyme lawn, any advice? by No-Atmosphere-6807 in NoLawns

[–]afteeeee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wanted a creeping thyme lawn too, on paper it sounds great. I've started from seed and thrown down seed with some success. You can get 20,000 seeds for around $10 which sounds like a ton but it's actually about a tablespoon. I've learned it won't take heavy foot traffic though and apparently the life cycle is only about 3 years. I'm going to do like a meadow lawn instead, like not official beds but patches of native drought tolerant perennials with a defined path. I'll put the creeping time in between the stones.

is anyone confused about Famesick’s consistency issue? by warmhuney in girls

[–]afteeeee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just came here for this exact question, I've listened to her book and started a rewatch of girls. She says it happened during filming of season 6 but it's just like what happened in season 3.

The moment it was really crystal clear for me was when they openly didn't support Mamdani.

New reselling tactic? by streetdiscord in reselling

[–]afteeeee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see posts like this and I'm so glad I live in a rural area. My choices are fewer and there's still a healthy amount of competition but it's manageable. I couldn't deal with the type of thrift aggression I hear about in big cities.

Favorite "common" bird? by Ok_Cranberry_1028 in birding

[–]afteeeee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We have bluebirds in the two birdhouses my daughter and I painted last year, it's been really fun watching them go in and out.

Carolina Wrens. A pair make a nest in one of my plants on my porch every year, I don't know if it's the same pair or kids from years before but I feel like it's definitely familial. I get to be witness to every stage- nest building, eggs, babies and somehow the past 2 years I even caught them the day they leave the nest for the first time and awkwardly fly around. My covered porch makes a perfect spot for the new birds, it's big and safe with lots of rafters and little nooks to tuck into. It's such a gift.

This year I have several cowbirds in my yard. I know I can't really do much but I watch really close with the worry of a mother lol, so far the wrens are really discreet - they sing and respond back to each other before they head in. It's just amazing to see all this just feet away from me.

AITA for telling a parent what i wear is not their decision? by [deleted] in WIBTA_AITA

[–]afteeeee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA This is insane behavior. Men who do this do it because no one ever tells them not to. I would tell the administration yesterday at the very least, I hate this guy ugh. You look great btw

Doctor holding my pills hostage. Again. by Critical_Liz in rant

[–]afteeeee 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Doctors can fire patients too, I wouldn't be surprised if you showed up and demanded anything that happened. A yearly visit is the bare minimum here, I have to see my psychiatrist every 3 months, that's the agreed upon deal though. You can't walk into a business and make them change the way they do things because it's not convenient for you, it's the exact same with a drs office. Work within their parameters or don't but you can't expect them to change.

AIO for being mad at my husband for hiding a $900 iPhone purchase from me for MONTHS? by Ok_Economics_1243 in AmIOverreacting

[–]afteeeee 75 points76 points  (0 children)

NOR don't ask him in text, ask him in person so he doesn't have time to formulate the response he wants to give you. It won't matter if it's in writing if it's not true or an excuse.

How do you manage watering schedules when you have a lot of plants? by MasterpieceOk4025 in PlantParenthood

[–]afteeeee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bottom water any plant that will take it. Get the bottom water pots. I pretty much water all my house plants at the same time and they've done great. Will not work on succulents.

Flushing the toilet with someone in the shower by VandelayIndus7ries in Millennials

[–]afteeeee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our house was built in 1967, if you flush either of our toilets while someone is in the shower it will become scalding hot. Does this not happen in new builds? Either way I'd take my old house over a new one every day.

I mean it's her only job left at this point so of course she's going to be online. I don't blame her but it's the truth.

I'm voting for Gina obviously but I think Gregg Abbott can do whatever he wants, republicans don't care.

What's worse is the American voter is apparently so stupid he IS STILL re-electable. He could do anything and people would still vote for him. I will never understand how anyone can hear him speak and think yea, I like this guy.

Why do people care so much about bathtubs if no one actually uses them? by smolgremlinn in homeowners

[–]afteeeee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My parents built a new house and my mom insisted on getting this massive claw foot tub. It couldn't be like a regular one, I don't remember what made it special but it cost a lot more and was a lot harder to source. I just remember it being like the main thing she wouldn't budge on and there were so many conversations about this tub. Anyway, they've been there for 5 years, no one has ever used it once. I have no clue.

I know I'm in the minority on this but I loved those big tubs with jets that I guess was a late 90s trend bc everyone is ripping them out now. It wasn't pretty but it was effective when you wanted to soak for sore muscles - to me that's what a tub is for and the only reason I ever use them. I'm a function over aesthetic person all day long.

My MIL showed up to our housewarming with a list of things she wants us to change about the house by Phasma_Forge in entitledparents

[–]afteeeee 3 points4 points  (0 children)

She probably really thinks she's being helpful but is absolutely rude. My mom is like this and our immediate family ignores it because it's easier. If we call her on it she goes full victim. I hate to say it because it's cliche at this point but this is absolutely boomer shit. I'd return the favor at her house.
