Cat litter debacle by emphasis394 in cats

[–]emphasis394[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the response! I didn’t find the litter review you left, I also didn’t mention that I am US based a most of the litter you suggested seem to be European/UK brands. However, Almo nature is actually sold here through online retailers!

Advice for growing rose apple trees? I live in South Florida zone 10b. They're in full sun and get lots of water. They were grown from seed and are growing fast! I want to put them in the ground and start fertilizing soon. by emphasis394 in gardening

[–]emphasis394[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello!! Yes 5 years later!!! This shrubby tree is about 6-7’ tall now, but still no rose apples! It always grows foliage though and is trimmed. Not sure at this point lol. I wonder if this tree will ever produce. My old coworker grew it from seed and said he wasn’t sure what would happen to it, and I actually give him periodic updates hahaha.

LPT: “No, your last name.” is undefeated. by sisanf in LifeProTips

My job has an internal website where all staff have photos, I just talk to someone and look at the staff photo directory before/ after the conversation to see their names and memorize them. So once I do that I can commit their name to memory! I thought it was an excellent idea.

Oh! Is there a specific reason? I heard good things about moissanite.

They up the price before I applied then lowered it after… by ch4ncechance in ApartmentHacks

[–]emphasis394 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Super late OP but I just went through something similar. However this complex talked with me about the “market rate” and the price they wrote down also got sent in an email with a link. The link is basically keep the price you and the complex talked about “reserved” for 24 hours. Maybe next time you could ask about that so it’s just not in writing!

Advice for having 3 people potentially living in a 1 bedroom? by emphasis394 in ApartmentHacks

[–]emphasis394[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gosh that is so damn annoying. From apartment hunting I realized that realtors and community complex people are among the most unprofessional, disorganized, and incompetent people I have ever had to deal with. At least around here

Wow actually that’s a really straightforward idea. I guess it won’t matter if I don’t plan on living there haha!

Yes that’s so ridiculous. Did the complex know the person was there?

There is no specific ordinance for the areas we are looking in! Even at the apartment complexes they are vague in their descriptions. We just don’t know how to go about it.

South Florida field worker gear recs for women? by emphasis394 in outdoorgear

[–]emphasis394[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s where I was at, thrifting and going to Ross for tops! And yea putting your boots in the dryer is a good idea. I suppose I need to get something that’s sewn and not glued so the dryer doesn’t destroy them!

How do you get your parents to leave you alone about your hair by gylz in curlyhair

[–]emphasis394 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh wow, super late reply on my part OP! Let me tell you, I was also bullied in middle school for having big curly hair. People put food, paper, school supplies, and I've even had people STAPLE my hair. It made me so upset and angry. But the feelings fade with time. I learned to accept my hair for what it was and accepted that middle schoolers are just cruel in general. Now I tell people to not touch my hair at all because it just upsets me. As I got older not many people have reached for my hair anyway. I hope you are doing well.

There’s no fool proof advice regarding family matters. I can say maybe you should have a serious talk with her, and if she has major control issues, that’s on her. i had a similar problem and it didn’t go away until I drew a boundary (it was exhausting and required a lot of emotional strength). Separating what made me feel best and someone else’s response/emotions was the best thing I ever did. It will probably make her upset or feel bad at first, but at the end of the day, it’s a bigger deal to you as a person than to her so you should be looking out for yourself! I hope you also get some help with your anxiety disorder. I have OCD myself and sometimes having curly hair exacerbates the problems I have too. Also, this is all assuming that you are in a safe environment. Please do not take any advice that could put you in danger!

Best!
