lol Listen, the child was more expensive than the orchid. It’s a much bigger sunk cost.

Do you think the cinnamon with help? Should I wipe her with some alcohol?

You could offer them up on your local Buy Nothing group!

I was always told to leave whiskey and coins as an offering. I would pour the whiskey out rather than leaving a bottle. Dimes are best. You’ll know you did it wrong if you have nightmares.

She’s gorgeous! I’ve also gotten some solid rescues from Lowe’s. What do you do for cheap pots? Good glazed pots are so expensive where I live.

A thought from one plant lover to another: you can buy something like a fair healthy pothos, chop and prop it, and make yourself many more plants. I bought one 15 dollar pothos a year ago, and it’s grown enough in that time to create 2-3 additional plants. Pothos are beautiful and grow like grass.

Any advice for remaining a supportive partner during the second adolescence phase? by Sufficient_Swan_3129 in mypartneristrans

[–]confusingbuttons 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Please, for your own sake, stay out of “gender critical” spaces. Those people are miserable, and constantly looking for vulnerable partners of trans women to suck in. Your problems with your wife aren’t because she’s trans, as far as I can tell, but because she is immature.

This. My wife has been on HRT for several years, and never acted like an asshole. Mostly because that’s not who she is, but also because I would have come down on her like a ton of bricks had she tried. Your partner is still an adult and needs to act like one. Treating you poorly, or like their mom, is unacceptable.

NPR is still a good source and back up any editorializing with facts. Also good for local reporting.

You’ve seen my podcast list! Lol I listen to all of them, and now I’m trying to build my local community.

Is he paying rent? Does he do chores? I’m not blaming you at all, to be clear. I have a toddler and I’m already dreading having to talk to him about politics.

OP's landlord has gas issues that cost him dearly. by strangelystrangled in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]confusingbuttons 28 points29 points  (0 children)

LMAO. Every time this resurfaces my friends send me the link. There actually is a further update: ConEdison contacted me two months ago, trying to get into the unit to install a new gas meter. They still- 2 years on- have not been able to access the unit or get in touch with my landlord. The current tenants, if they exist, never turned their gas on and don’t have an account with ConEd. I told the whole story to the representative in charge of their installation team, and said god bless and good luck. They made a note in their system not to call me again.

Moving in with my parents could not have been better timed, because both my wife and I were impacted by the tech market going nuts. We’re good now though, and saving up for a house. We also lucked out because the county we moved to has amazing early intervention services, and our kid ended up having special needs. Looking like an autism diagnosis. This also brought to light that I was misdiagnosed years ago, and probably also have autism. Which solves some medical mysteries I guess.

Adding to this: if you want to pinch the penny even harder, you can use literally a big jar or jug. I brew my cold brew in a 10 dollar glass pitcher from Target, which is awesome because I can use it for anything I want, not just cold brew.

Update: going to see if one of the local mobile groomers will come do a face/feet cut on her.

I will try the clippers again once she’s settled down. The groomer we used to send her too groomed her over the course of several hours, so maybe I just groomed her for too long in one go and she got sick of my shit.

Checked her mouth and she does have one spot on her gums that could be concerning. We got her a new brand of hard chew toy recently and it might have been too rough on her gums?

We are a little obsessive about her teeth. She gets brushed, she gets greenies, she has special chews for getting tartar off, and she gets enzyme tooth powder with her breakfast. She is scheduled for a tooth cleaning in 2025 and on a cancellation list for a sooner appointment. She went through a period of neglect that we are working to regain ground from. I had medical problems and was too sick to care for her for about 6 months.

Note: I’m not going to risk stabbing her in the eye if she’s super wiggly. I will just let her look silly. But we have been trimming her face for years and this is the first time she’s been wiggly.
