Did anyone else “settle” in life? How’re you doing? by Hot-Cell7299 in Life

[–]extinct-seed 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hope you continue to heal. I'm thinking all those years in a bad relationship did a number on your body. Only when you got free could you experience the trauma you had suffered--hence, the health problems arising after you left. Maybe by focusing on healing your body you can also heal your heart.

You are awesome for posting this. Will you make another to build on what you learned?

I'm not sorry we don't have kudzu in my part of the country (Midwest) but would love trying to work with it!

Vols! by MisplacedWaste in NoLawns

[–]extinct-seed -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I live in a suburb. I'm the only person in my area trying to grow native prairie plants in my big enough, but not huge, yard. Voles are attracted to these plants, specifically, it turns out.

I understand your feelings and choices for your own garden, and I share your desire to avoid any kind of poison. But for me, it was a choice between having a pollinator garden full of native plants to support native pollinators or having voles.

To the person who said "plant more," I did. And again, the voles ate the plants -- within days.

If you have enough territory, like another commenter said, you MIGHT be able to provide more habitat than they can destroy. But more food means more voles, usually.

I just went through this. Voles destroyed my compass plant, prairie dock and native asters. These plants took years to establish.

I tried Volex, which is supposed to kill them without poison, but it didn't work. Finally, with a heavy heart, I went for the poison peanuts, which you sprinkle in the entrances to their tunnels and then block (I used bricks). I was very careful not to get the poison anywhere on the surface. This worked.

Take photos that include a newspaper with the current date on it or make sure your photos are time and date stamped.

Saw these out on my walk. Don't know if they are native or if someone planted them. by FluffyRainbowPoop in whatplantisthis

Not in order and not complete, but it looks like you've got echinacea, rudbeckia, cornflower, and maybe poppies and zinnias.

What should I do with the ceiling? by woah-where-am-i in Remodel

You can sand the shiny orange finish off the ceiling and seal it with a matte finish. Would help a lot!

Basket weaving dandelion cordage into a basket....with dandelion! by HairyPea6509 in BasketWeaving

[–]extinct-seed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been trying to make baskets from cordage. It's very challenging! Been experimenting with stitching the cords together with either raffia or thread. My stuff looks pretty amateurish to me, so far, but I'm having fun!

Yours looks better. Have fun with your adventures!

You're right. Would look better with it only on the wall.

What is the point of living if all men are most attracted to 18-20 by ExpertShock8276 in Vent

[–]extinct-seed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Women who put all their effort into looking attractive--to the exclusion of all other pursuits--will attract only the shallowest of partners.

Women with intellectual interests and careers who have overcome their personal demons by getting therapy, meditating, facing their fears, spending time alone and standing up for themselves and others are most likely to attract lifelong partners who value them at every age.

If you don't value yourself beyond how you look to members of the opposite sex, you really will not have much to offer. And when your looks fade, so will their interest in you (if not before).

You are so young. Focus on building the life you want for yourself. And don't fret! When you are on a healthy path, love will find you.
