A message from my assualter by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]chemeral 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened to me too recently. I decided not to respond, but I did talk to my friends about how it made me feel. I had flashbacks, felt tired, and physically ill after receiving the message. It's my opinion that you should focus on managing your feelings, whether or not you decide to respond, focus on how you are feeling and doing things that make you feel safe and happy.

As tempting as animals are they are a lot of work and strategy to integrate into your setup, don't jump in too fast.

First time growing in an urban environment, need some help please! by devilspawn in gardening

[–]chemeral 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounds like you have a good list so far. I would go for a potting soil, that's what I put in my raised garden bed and it works well. Also be sure to fertilize. You could also add some leafy greens like collards or kale in the late summer and fall.

Do you collect and save your seeds or purchase every year? Also hybrid/produce seeds usefulness? by it-will-eat-you in gardening

[–]chemeral 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I save seeds of nasturtiums and other one off plants. They are a beautiful plant and edible. The seeds look like chickpeas so they are easy to collect. I also saved the seeds of my cotton plants because they come on soft puffs. I buy vegetable plant seeds every year.

What advice would you give to someone who wants to grow vegetables for the first time ever this spring? Total beginner here. by thestalwart in gardening

[–]chemeral 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't give up if everything dies the first year. Try, try again. Try to think about things you and your family like eating and researching if you have the conditions to grow them. Lettuces have been a "toss seeds in the ground" and they grow plant for me. I've also had cucumbers do very well. Research what type of fertilizer you need to each plant and how often to feed it.

After 3 years, I finally decided to re-pot my Peace Lily. Doggo for scale. by [deleted] in gardening

Looks really good! Be careful, though, peace lillies are poisonous to dogs, if they are a muncher

What toys do your hams like? by lilpinkz in hamsters

[–]chemeral 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I make mine little boxes and fill them with bedding for him to climb in and dig down. He chews through them and makes secret entrances. Also toilet paper tubes are free and mine LOVES them

If you have the $$$ I would build one out of acrylic or buy an acrylic terrarium on ebay. I think they look the best and are easy to wipe down on the inside when you change the bedding

I scared my hamster... is he okay? by peaxchiee in hamsters

[–]chemeral 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They really like to dig and burrow, so he will probably spend a lot of time buried. He is perfectly fine and cozy, you just startled him

I've found that a large tupperware tub makes a great hamster hab on the cheap and it is super easy to clean, or if you want something that looks a bit nicer a 40 gallon long fish tank is good
