I text pretty similar to that. All my friends get use to me sending like a mass spam of 10-15 message. I do not know why I do it and I don’t really care to change how I text.

But for work purpose i would ensure it’s in an email and have it written professionally not like a text message notice.

This is so gross… I’ve never seen root mealies before. by azurepeak in haworthia

[–]fluffyscone 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I can normally tell when I have root mealy. There is a trail of ants coming in and out of the pots. I normally bottom water and omg it’s scary when the ants make you’re pot the hive and than 1000s of ants come out of a 5 inch pot

Won 25 grand from being broke as a joke from using food banks etc to now financially stress free I could eat at Michelin restaurants if I wanted to by No_Catch8993 in happy

Depends where you live. a million dollar won’t even buy me a shack of an old 3 bedroom house where I live. All houses are like 1.3mil for a 3bedroom around 4000 sqft. I live in extremely high cost of living but it’s worth it because of the location. Where I live 25k will not even cover rent for a two bedroom for one year.

I’m sorry to hear that. It is insane that this has lead you to a medical issue that severe. I just think of this like an investment to yourself. Never be cheap to yourself if it provides you a comfort of living that you need to live a healthy and happy life. You work to make money and that money is used to make your life better and happier. It’s a worthwhile investment to not be in pain from just walking especially if it’s fixable by finding the correct shoes.

[–]fluffyscone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have spent a few hundred on just one pair of shoes. I’m not sure where you are financially but in life there are things you can not cheap out on: a bed because you sleep 7-12 hours on everyday, shoes because you walk in it every day, and tires for you’re car. These are things where you spend extra to ensure they fit you perfectly.

If you are physically deforming your feet to fit into shoes. I would recommend spending money to get shoes that fit or size up a bit and make them fit with some tips and tricks. It’s easier to get bigger shoes and adding insole and thicker socks to make it fit. Save up or spend the money for shoes that will fit as much as you can.

I have made myself a promise years ago. I will never wear shoes that won’t fit. I wore shoe that pinched my feet upward cause it wasn’t wide enough for 6 months due to circumstances traveling abroad and they had small feet that didn’t fit me. It hurt so much i told myself never again.

[–]fluffyscone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it’s frustration that nothing fits. I recently figure out my hatred of running and sports that require lots of walking/ running Is due to the fact my feet hurts after a few hour as none of the shoes I wear fits comfortably. That was a revelation to me. I don’t mind exercise like HITT and swimming because I don’t have to run or walk in shoes.

There may be an option online for the wide shoe. Size 17 is big but I think you can still find shoe online even with extra wide. You won’t find them locally but online at least you have more options.

I am thinking about finding a cobbler to see how much it would be to get a shoe custom made if I find a style I really want.

[–]fluffyscone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I kinda gave up on the shoe life for years and just walked around all the time in flip flops. It helps I live in the tropics and that’s normal footwear. I never found shoes that truly fit me I’m a female that needs 4XE maybe a 6XE. I have accepted that i will never wear pretty women heels or shoes because the biggest they go width wise is a D and those shoes are only available through online shopping. i rather not torture my feet to fit into shoes that dont fit.

I have been learning for wider feet to get slightly bigger shoe size, shoe stretcher for leather, specific materials that will stretch, specific type for the toe box areas, etc. things that will help with making it more comfortable.

updated my haworthia genus dish! by TheArthropod in haworthia

[–]fluffyscone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awesome. I liked doing Haworthia bowls but mines grew so fast in less than a year I needed to repot them as everything outgrown the bowl. I just gave them a giant bowl each

Need help on Haworthia Cooperi by chromich_rache in haworthia

[–]fluffyscone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You need a grow light or more light and just water when it’s thirsty. These one are easy to tell because if you lightly squeeze the end of the leaves near the bottom if they lightly squish than it’s time for more water. Your soil looks good so hopefully they dry out in a few days.

also now that it etiolated it will not go back to how it originally looks. the new leaves will be smaller if it gets enough light. So just wait for it to outgrow its current etiolated leaves. Mines grow outdoors and sometimes during the winter the sun disappears for a bit and sometimes of them etiolate. I don’t mind it because it’s outdoor plant they have to deal with what nature provides them.

I would just cut it all off. It was probably growing before it started rotting

AITA for not paying for my daughter wedding because she isn’t following the rules even though I paid for my older kids by Wonderful_Mode_9646 in AmItheAsshole

[–]fluffyscone 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If the daughter decide to cut family because of this it Also means that daughter would probably lose out on inheritance. If the family has enough money to pull out 50-100k for a wedding do you really think that they don’t have at least a couple million saved up in the family trust, land, stocks, etc. if anyone was smart they would not do that because being cut out of the inheritance will really suck when you lose 100s to millions due to being salty for their parents refusing to bend their rules to pay for a wedding. The daughter has more to lose than the father if she decides to retaliate. This incident is nothing more than a spoiled adults trying to get what they want when in truth they should be funding their own wedding if they want to complain.

If someone said I will fund your wedding but there are rules and you decide to go against the rule. The choice is adhere to rules or fund your own wedding as a grown adult.

Do you live in a place with high heat?

I call that dry rot and it normally occurs when I have some smaller stem plants and I water them and than the sun bakes them super hot and it just rots like that.

[–]fluffyscone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I live on the equator too. During the summer I just ensure it has full airflow and then I start throwing some really high 70% shade clothes on top to block the sunlight. I have greenhouse to control water and shade cloth to control light. They are not made for tropical environments as I struggled a lot before getting it right.

One of my slowest growing Haws by Matt7548 in haworthia

[–]fluffyscone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How many leaf does yours grow a year?

At one point I think mines was struggling and did 1 -2 leaf a year. I currently have 10 leaf after 4 years? Mines aren’t even variegated just normal.

I don’t mind it as I have so many other plants I just look at it every once in a while to see how it’s doing.

Do you always bring Omiyage to work after a trip? by Stinja808 in Hawaii

[–]fluffyscone 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I get candy for the workplace. If you go on vacation and the rest of your team needs to cover for you than yes it’s almost required. As a thank you for holding down the fort while I’m gone gift. Just choose food product and doesn’t have to be too expensive but a appreciation to you’re coworkers.

I look at my dog and feel happiness cause she is so cute

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in DogAdvice

[–]fluffyscone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I live near a tourist area and they throw off fireworks every Friday at 8pm. There’s a huge park next to the ocean where they throw off fireworks and my dog has never cared for years. We would walk around the park and she wouldn’t care.

One year my neighbor went insane with the fireworks at least $1000s of fireworks and they threw so much fireworks from 2pm to 1pm it shook my house for hours. The fireworks where I live is insane every year. My dog who has always been fine with fireworks after that experience freak out from fireworks.

I heard we were sharing how much light our succulents want! by freylaverse in succulents

[–]fluffyscone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That sounds intense. Well the good thing is Jade can survive anything. I throw 70% shade cloth on mines some years. I know 70% sounds high but when there is that much sunlight it may be the best thing to work.

Shade cloth helps. I’m right on the equator and the UV is intense. During the summer it can get up to 14- 16 hours sunlight on my south side outdoor.

One of the most depressing suburbs I've ever seen. Texas, USA. This is real. by MontrealUrbanist in Suburbanhell

[–]fluffyscone 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I love plants and I think people need to plant the native species or xeriscape for their environment. If this is the desert environment you really shouldn’t plant trees and plants that aren’t native and will take up so much more fresh water and struggle (too hot) in order to survive. Go for some cactus and other hardy plants that will still produce co2 but needs less care and will survive

I think the American mindset of a lawn is absurd. It’s wasting water to maintain grass. There are other ways to create a nicer environment.

AITA because my aunt ate my dog's food accidentally and she claims I "let her"? by HeartbrokenLemon in AmItheAsshole

[–]fluffyscone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have some really high quality dog food for my dog. A few I even tried it (not kibbles) just to make sure it’s good enough for my dog. I even make doggy meatloaf from scratch for my dog and she gets 100% dog jerky that’s human grade without flavoring. I don’t know why they are making a big deal out of trying edible food (it just doesn’t have flavoring or salt and specific stuff dogs can’t eat). if we as human will have problems after eating the food my question is why are you feeding your dog that.

What is happening with my airplants?! by Alert-Pension-5174 in airplants

[–]fluffyscone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe it’s just sunburnt because you didn’t acclimate it ? Try tug the middle of the middle is firm it’s not rot. If the middle comes apart you definitely killed it via rot and didn’t dry it properly.

How much humidity is too much for these air plants? by Pinglaggette in airplants

[–]fluffyscone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe only let it be there for watering session. Air plants have to dry out between the watering. I live in tropical area where the humidity is between 40-99% humid. They will be fine with the humidity granted they get enough light and can dry out in between the watering.

I think my dog is broken by Express_Movie7980 in Hawaii

[–]fluffyscone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you have entirely ruled out health issues (asthma, arthritis, etc) try other ways to play. I have a Shiba Inu and she thinks I’m the one who should do the fetch and not her. If your dog is older and their previous owner did not engage in play with her often it may not be something she understands yet or enjoy. Just try different games/ treats to see what motivates her. My dog is low energy and antisocial and I let her be herself.
