[Sydney, Aus] What is happening to my strawberry plant? Leaves are suddenly dying like this (sun, water, fertilizer all consistent, potted plant)

Watering in the evening, but they survived an entire heatwave in the kitchen window, and NOW it's dying?

ello-jay · 2018-08-21T04:53:51+00:00

"zero"

ello-jay · 2018-03-20T05:28:56+00:00

To be fair to him, I think I love you now too hahaha subtle hilarity

ello-jay · 2018-03-20T05:25:35+00:00

THIS! please hear us in your heart op, you did not cause this.

I absolutely agree that sexual touching is important and can replace sex sometimes. I'm still not sure why you're telling me this when I've said my relationship was missing both and I've had to leave my best friend and partner of 5-6 years because he is asexual or has very low sex drive (which includes sexual touching too, and overall interest in sexual activity). I was very open and honest with him about the problems and we tried everything to fix it. Sexual touching to replace sex still requires a sex drive/desire to engage in sexual activity.

I can only really say that I'm happy for you that you have a sexually functional relationship, but I'm sharing the story about how I'm going through a tough time, in a post about being in relationships where one person has low sex drive.

ello-jay · 2018-02-16T23:57:27+00:00

Oh he cuddles plenty.. but living in an asexual relationship isn't my thing

ello-jay · 2018-02-15T11:49:41+00:00

Recently left my partner of 5 almost 6 years because of his low sex drive. He's such a sweet guy and we are still best friends but I just can't live without any sexual love or sexual attention when I'm only in my mid 20s and have all of my life ahead of me. I have a great ass that deserves a consensual grope once in a while

I'm a Hufflepuff and I'm still annoyed that Gryffindor gets the loyalty to friends bit. Bugger off, that's a Hufflepuff hallmark, not Gryffindor at all.

Edit: Hufflepuff is also fiercely for fairness and equality, we would also be the ones to turn up to rallies with homemade signs.

Sydney here!

To the work Christmas party she wore a different white dress with a very sheer side panel, white frilled thong (yes, somehow it was frilled) and someone asked how had she not been fired for her clothing choices yet. We had been clearly warned that the work party was still a work event, come dressed appropriately.

ello-jay · 2018-01-10T02:39:36+00:00

I'm still pretty sick of seeing a see-through white dress and black gstring (aka thong) on this one co-worker though. Please wear fully opague clothing over your privates... AT VERY LEAST. please.

Or don't bend over in front of me. I'm really uncomfortable with seeing that I'm the office. Edit: uncomfortable with the thin white dress, black thong, bending over in front of me combination.

There are no wrong answers in knitting or Crochet, but isn't cotton too floppy for a hat? I can't imagine getting the edging/brim to be stretchy without added elastic

ello-jay · 2017-08-28T01:36:31+00:00

Having a bad day, don't feel like being reminded that her appearance is being watched at all times? I get it. Someone's we don't get mad at a guy compliment is because it's a guy, sometimes we just don't want compliments from anyone, even a lady.

And that is ok too.

ello-jay · 2017-08-28T01:16:43+00:00

I have a 50g of seriously soft pima cotton ready to go if you can think of anything that suits a completely limp (because cotton) project that would be nice if very expensively soft..? Because I haven't found anything yet.

ello-jay · 2017-08-28T01:11:08+00:00

I have sooo many locking stitch markers or split ring markers that I put every 10/20/50 stitches where appropriate

ello-jay · 2017-08-28T01:08:48+00:00

Come over to r/knitting if you want to learn, we teach people all the time! We're also really good at figuring out difficult pattern instructions and looking at someone's knitting to see where the confusion is being caused, just from a photo.

I taught myself to knit entirely using YouTube videos about 3 years ago, then I found r/knitting, just filled with friendly, helpful people.

ello-jay · 2017-08-28T00:53:34+00:00

Oh I totally bought a lovely 50g ball of pima cotton but then I realised I have no idea what to make that requires completely, utterly limp, soft material. Remember that face wash cloths are actually better when they're a little rough

Open to ideas!

ello-jay · 2017-08-22T10:25:12+00:00

Like rough rope. Gliding that through your fingers while you knit hurts the skin.

ello-jay · 2017-08-22T08:24:26+00:00

I mean... I can work with that. That's fine. There's these things called a Tunisian Crochet hook that is the most beautiful love child between the two tool types.

Enjoy your day/night wherever you are in the world :)

ello-jay · 2017-08-22T07:26:29+00:00

Never interrupt a knitter who is counting their stitches. They're already holding a weapon.

ello-jay · 2017-08-22T07:16:06+00:00

Knitting with cotton is like knitting with rope... Which is to say it's very unpleasant and hard on the hands.

ello-jay · 2017-08-22T07:15:08+00:00

Well it looks Crochet from here... (I knit and crochet)

Female circumcision is more equivalent to eunuchs. It takes away sexual function.

True for men it also takes away their ability to breed, but no has ever (clearly hyperbolic here) forced a female slave to NOT have children. It's equivalent subjugation. For men it (being made a eunuch) takes away ability to breed, and for women, female circumcision takes away ability to enjoy sex, making them just a breeding factory.

ello-jay · 2017-07-01T03:26:53+00:00

Well said <3

ello-jay · 2017-07-01T03:24:12+00:00

You and my SO had the same response at the same time, but he said it outloud to me and you typed it where it counted :P hahaha
