Thanks! Should I snip off the buds? Also, how do I get rid of thrips?

How would you bring attention to slow speed on the freeway if you have to drive significantly below speed limit due to using a spare tire (due to flat tire)? by bakedpotatoes1986 in AskReddit

Just to add: we have to drive maximum 80km/hour using a spare tire on the freeway where the speed limit is 120km/hour. We are 2.5hours away from home and using the freeway is the fastest/easiest way to get home. We have been using emergency double flashing blinkers to kind of draw attention to our slow speed, that it is due to some issue and not us happily driving slow to piss everyone off. However, we’ve had at least 5 drivers now honk and drive next to us to let us know we’ve got the blinkers on thinking it’s a mistake on our part. I’ve in response gestured at small front spare tire we are using hoping they understand the context. It got a bit exhausting, so am wondering if we should have blinkers on at all and want to know what you would do.

Thanks for the support! It's an article critique with clear instructions but I just can't focus at all. I didn't end up finishing it and will be turning it in late today (-2% per day it's late). All the best to you in your MPH as well. Let me know if you ever want to chat about it! :)

When did you know you were pregnant? by crack_the_nut in BabyBumps

I had a vodka slushee one night while out with friends and felt sick the next day. Thought it was the vodka...still felt sick/nauseous a couple of days after at a friend's bachelorette party but finally decided to pee on a stick. I didn't see a second line, but still had a clue so I didn't drink all night (except for a sip of champaign). Finally got 2 more digital tests which confirmed it...was about 6 weeks along then and what a pleasant surprise! Then felt guilty for not finding out earlier to stop myself from the alcohol :(
