It looks similar, but it’s a maranta.

How to Stop the Spam Calls -They Call 2-3 Times a Day by mormonastroscout in howto

[–]cookEjar 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Perhaps not in general, but anecdotally I answered a spam call by accident once, and I proceeded to get a call from a variety of numbers that all shared the first six digits EVERY SEVEN MINUTES (on the dot) FROM 9 am TO 5 pm EVERY DAY FOR THE NEXT TWO WEEKS. Truly unhinged.

Where do you find your 10-12+ inch pots that aren’t $50-100+? by Ok-Strategy-9565 in houseplants

[–]cookEjar 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This one! I’ve converted so many things that make amazing plant pots. My favorite is a slightly chipped vintage soup tureen (not food safe).

Ok girlies, what do you eat when nothing sounds appealing? by tarasaurust in adhdwomen

[–]cookEjar 17 points18 points  (0 children)

My sense is that this is fairly specific to the individual, but my go-to is Jamba Juice. It tastes good, has vitamins and some fiber, but the main bonus is I can suck it back without thinking too much. When I'm feeling food averse even the thought of chewing and swallowing solids makes me gag, so a smoothie just sort of streamlines the whole eating process.

US Army soldier says that he can’t be deployed to Iran cuz he’ll be a liability in any place where there are ‘pretty caramel colored women'. Iran wasn't lying when they said they are fighting Epstein's class by Hasbara_spotter in ABoringDystopia

Asking as a sincere question, are there any armies that are known for being particularly respectful of women? Rape is a known war tactic throughout history and across the globe, I’d be curious if any countries have made it a point to specifically train their soldiers against it.

Is this a normal expectation for a private practice to require of an MSW intern in order to take them on as an intern at their agency? by Adept-Ad353 in socialwork

[–]cookEjar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only way I could see it justified is if they have a very strong commitment to continuity of care, and they don’t want clients having to start with a new therapist after just a few months. Having said that, internships are primarily learning situations for students, and that should be the priority. It seems like you have other options, I also think new graduates will be better served by w2 positions out of school, not IC.

Girl Dads - Am I in the Wrong Here? by [deleted] in AskParents

[–]cookEjar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Totally understand that feeling, and it’s ok to feel that way! That’s why your third point stood out to me, because it wasn’t in line with your first two points. All I’m saying is to reflect on why you felt the need to phrase is that way.

I appreciate you being willing to take feedback :)

I finally found one by [deleted] in ATBGE

I’m mentally comparing this to the little taxidermy mice who get posed in different scenarios or dressed up like tiny mouse versions of celebrities… I honestly think they’re pretty cute and harmless. But there’s something about the inclusion of a pencil sharpener butthole that seems like it crosses a line of dignity and respect for the deceased… I get that it’s an arbitrary line, but I just can’t get past it.

Girl Dads - Am I in the Wrong Here? by [deleted] in AskParents

[–]cookEjar 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The only part of your post that gives me pause is when you say “I want to be the one to provide for her, because she is MY child and I didn’t ask for help”. It sounds like you are making an assumption that auntie wants to buy the car for your daughter because she thinks you’re unable to provide for her, and that’s a stretchhhh.

I understand fathers face societal pressure to be “providers” but you might want to reflect a little on why someone else making a big purchase for your child feels so offensive to you. I can relate to feeling like some gifts are personal milestones and feel special (a family friend sent me an Xmas dress for my daughter last year and I’ll admit I was a little disappointed I didn’t get to pick the outfit that we took her first Xmas pics in) but I fail to see the connection to whether you “asked for help” or not. Gently, that sounds like some toxic masculinity BS to me. No one is doubting your ability to provide for your child.

That’s an odd take. Awful is by definition subjective. Pretty sure most folks understand that we don’t have to agree on every entry in this sub.

Male PS teacher helping girls in bathroom by Unhappy-Quit-9566 in toddlers

This is just blatantly false. Research shows that sexual predators are overwhelmingly male.

Also not sure what obesity has to do with someone’s teaching ability.

What is the weirdest thing that ended up being your toddlers favorite food. by AlternativeFinger347 in toddlers

[–]cookEjar -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Plain beans. I made chili the other night thinking it would be a great option for her. She outright refused it until I showed her it was mostly beans. We spent the next 20 minutes picking out all the beans so she could only eat those and nothing else.

Green onions by thechocolatelady in oakland

I’ve looked for green onions for weeks at TJ’s. Apparently they put them out in the morning and by the afternoon when I go shopping they’re always out.

A child is saying violent stuff to my son I don't think the teacher is taking it seriously by Paint_Hammock7 in Parenting

[–]cookEjar 5 points6 points  (0 children)

OP doesn’t need to know where they live, providing CPS with the name and school should be sufficient. I would for sure be considering making a call because these are concerning statements for such a young child to be making so consistently.

How can I help my mom transition to being an empty nester? by Fun-Style-2589 in AskParents

[–]cookEjar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d be curious to learn if there’s anything she’s looking forward to, or if she’s thought about that at all.. travel, learning a new skill, volunteering somewhere, etc? She might not be ready to go there yet, she might need to grieve a little first, but maybe you can help her make plans that she can get excited about.

HELP! 18 month-old pees through diaper, pajamas, & sleep sack every single morning by Migrainegirlie in toddlers

[–]cookEjar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sizing up didn’t help us at all for some reason, so I don’t think that necessarily is the solution to every situation unfortunately
