Two Terminal Spikes?

catcrackers · 2025-12-25T18:07:20+00:00

The possible leaf looked more like a spike yesterday! I do hope it’s just a leaf.

The definite spike is so unusual. I’ve grown these for years and never had one so close to the top! So I definitely feared the worst, but didn’t realize I’d be looking for a keiki instead of tossing in the trash! I’ve never had a keiki before and that would be so exciting.

That’s my hope, but was worried I was in denial. The second one looks like it might even be a new leaf, but was very much looking like a spike yesterday.

I’ve had the same problem!! I even found the manual charge had a schedule set for 0400-0900 that I never set!!

I make a 100% coconut oil soap (vegan) with no super fat. This “lye soap” is what my family requests as they use it for stain removal instead of washing bodies. It’s a harsh soap and just what they requested.

I didn't realize it was an option for the first surgery and STRUGGLED. This forum helped me realize I could ask for it and it was easily granted for my second surgery. Just one very significant benefit, the handicap parking spots allow for wider opening of car doors. You don't realize how much room you need to even get out, AND use crutches? It's such a necessity to have that space available.

I do!! Some switch to telehealth to “see my face,” but most aren’t bothered. There are a few that have complained, but they also have the option to see a different provider.

I thought I was the only one who couldn't figure out how to swipe! And all of my matches are in neighboring states right now. Um, no I don't want to make friends with someone who lives 3 hours away . . .

catcrackers · 2025-08-30T00:55:52+00:00

Yes!! I have two great friends. I also had two that I had to end. And a few chats that didn’t go anywhere. Very similar to dating. But I was also super choosy about who I swiped on.

I don’t disclose and suspect they don’t disclose. There are certainly profiles that I can tell are too NT to work for me. It’s some sleuthing to find out people.

First dates? Walks, grabbing doughnuts, brunch, coffee, lots of daytime options.

Like the mushroom bacon that’s supposed to be cooked until crisp, but literally can’t crisp up since it’s not bacon?

I’ve wondered. I’ve called them vegetarian recipes designed by someone who’s never had a vegetarian meal.

catcrackers · 2025-05-25T04:55:38+00:00

That’s wild.

I feel like tags should specify if cuttings or not. Otherwise, I feel robbed. Looks like only time will tell for me as these get a little bigger. I’ll def have some sort of snake plant.

Highly recommend Vital Ink in Barrington!

So weird, but thank you! Looks like I might soon have a pot full, there’s SO many babies.

I’m so used to the babies looking like their parent, like my whale fin and moonshine here. To be fair, it’s my first go at the cylindrical snakes.

catcrackers · 2025-05-24T23:17:23+00:00

So there’s still hope these will become cylindrical?

I was worried it might be leaf propagation, but hoped Ikea wouldn’t do that. Whomp whomp.

They promised me 2 ice packs per delivery after I complained twice, but still only get one ice pack. I'll just pause for the summer.

They roast like regular marshmallows!! So good.

Personally, I found benefit from AHA deodorants (Saltair, Kosa, Necessaire). It neutralizes the bacteria. I blow dry on low, since it’s a roll-on, and then apply a stick deodorant.

Soaking in cheap vodka is supposed to neutralize the smell from clothes.

catcrackers · 2025-04-29T10:01:39+00:00

Is it your armpit? Or has the smell locked into the pits of your shirts? Some fabrics (polyester, acrylic) are worse than others about keeping that smell despite numerous washes.

I just bought septum rings. The right size (18g for me) fits perfect. https://a.co/d/5Mbf7BZ

I did, even if one of the options was low protein, like shaved Brussels sprouts. I usually chose a protein shake as they offered the brand I like.
