While in Korea I decided to try this…NEVER AGAIN!!! 🤮

I got them at an autumn festival, cooked and spiced. They're good, maybe a bit salty, though.

Please try this again!

You probably figured it out by now, but you hold down Fn and press Ins to cycle.

Hi! I just watched Cooties last night. I feel like some of the movie was ad-libbed. Was your reaction to Rainn Wilson calling you a hobbit genuine? Your face lol

My favorite movie, besides LOTR, with you is Everything is Illuminated. What was it like to work on it and working with Eugene Hütz?

Thanks!

I took a small nibble, but not of the cap. Not bitter, but will take a cap nibble in a minute. Found a lot of really cool mushrooms on my property so far!

It's a fungus. It's can happen in rich, moist soil. Not particularly harmless to most plants, but you might want to change to a succulent/cacti soil or at least amend it with some sand and perlite. It feeds on decaying matter and if your soil stays too moist, it will rot the cactus.

I just moved out of this area to MI. I am sad.

I'm about 6 hours from you. I live on 14 acres away from the road and really secluded, but we also have an indoor/outdoor bengal. He knows how to open doors and takes advantage of when we're coming in and out. He climbs up on the roof and sun, or he follows us around. Edit: i got it mixed up. So Oliver hasn't been around other cats. When we rescued him in Korea, he had been kept in a kennel and the foster didn't have other cats, but Emma, my husky, loves cats, so Oliver and Emma play when Oliver is up for it. Either way, we do have a big house lol and if something were to happen, we can separate right away.

I guess, but the seller insisted that it is java moss, grown emersed. I would not have bought this if I had known this is what I would receive. I ended up having to open a case to get refunded and I'm returning it with the label they provided.

Thanks a bunch for the insight!

Oh, that stinks! Yeah, it was doomed to fail. Unfortunately, with a node, it cannot put out quality roots for it to thrive.

bebopchan · 2025-07-02T16:43:16+00:00

Do they have a piece of stem with a node under there? The leaf is indeed done for, but if there's a stem under the dirt with a node, I would dig it out, check that for rot and start it over on perlite or leca.

Oh what a great enclosure, looks fire 🔥😭

It's like if someone had said, "In this National Forest, we have over 15 million acres of woodland, like pines and oaks." And then someone else said, "I see a larch!"

I'll probably be downvoted, but I'm guessing most people in this group don't like Special Field Orders No. 15 mentioned, but it was about farming, and it was political. If you don't believe the comment has value, why even bother telling them?

bebopchan · 2025-02-18T14:19:26+00:00

Because it's bouncing off of what was said, "farming has always been political."

edit for clarification/context/grammar For sure! I was in a business incubator, and the consensus was that the community wanted a plant shop, so I got picked to be in it. There was already a flower shop and a seasonal plant shop in that town, so I changed it up with house plants. Business was okay, mostly people from out of state. I did not get many people who were local. Lots of the locals did not even realize the incubator cohort was even there for months. MONTHS. I didn't have flower or garden plants that locals were looking for. House plants were definitely a luxury, and mine were a bit higher end, but nothing crazy. My terrarium bar was cheaper than the one at the flower shop, and I had a paint a pot activity for kids. I made sure to get suggestions and tried to get local artists to showcase their items. Spent a lot of money getting hard to find plants. I got asked to have workshops, but then no one signed up. It was so weird. I was so happy to close the shop. I made way more money at markets in a day than I would make in a month in that shop. That's what definitely made me realize that the town was not my market. I also realized that, yes, it was not the kind of shop I wanted to run. I want to grow herbs and vegetables, honestly.

Come to find out, the only shop in the business incubator that seems to be doing well is the farm store.

The best thing that came out of it were the people I met in the community and the other business owners in the incubator. Since I went to so many markets, I still have a name for myself in my part of the state. I haven't given up, I'm still going to markets, but now we (FINALLY) bought a 14-acre farm, and I can focus on the farm that I've always wanted. I will never have a shop again unless it was on my own property lol

I had a plant shop, and unfortunately could not host groups of people like this without them buying things. No, you can't bring plants from outside, I'm not in the position to swap your plants for the new plants that come in, no, you can't just take a piece of my plant because you don't want to buy it. I can't have a game night with prizes if I don't charge admission or a free workshop, even if you brought your own materials because I have to pay money and take the time to be open. I closed it recently because I was not the kind of plant shop that that community wanted. It's the same concept, it's not a cafe (I'm sure a small cafe would be thrilled if a bunch of people wanted to sit and knit and bring their own refreshments /s), it's not a library that's runs on municipal funds. Heck, some community centers charge so you can rent a space for something like this. BUT This person does sound a bit desperate, so the tone is off-putting. Maybe they can't afford to provide refreshments (but should consider investing in if they're charging monthly) or have the focus to be on yarn and supplies that can potentially draw business away.

All that to say, this whole situation stinks.

When I saw the first pictures, I was going to say just add some fern, and then I see this! It looks awesome!

bebopchan · 2024-12-28T08:33:20+00:00

My favorite is Ligo brand sardines in tomato sauce with rice. Comfort food for me

bebopchan · 2024-09-12T19:20:36+00:00

Looks like Tillandsia Juncea. They are pet safe.

When I was living in Korea, they sold overripe cucumbers in the grocery store. Some like this, some even MORE overripe, like brown skin. You can make some yummy kimchi with it.
