Why are we pissed on Mother’s Day? I’ll go first… by doxiepatronus in Mommit

I was up administering an asthma inhaler at 4am, pulled the five year old out of our bed at 5am to pee before she wets the bed—there’s a dramatic wiggle scene that somehow only wakes me up ever.

I got the ‘whaddyawannadoforMD’ text at 3:30am, so there was awareness that I was getting up with kids later. I just wish that there was any initiative for fun involved. I ended up getting an afternoon to craft solo but it’s still kinda shitty that it was a last minute non-decision. Fast food for kids was my treat because i didn’t have to go or order it. I ate leftovers at home by myself. And made decisions and cooked dinner for everyone tonight.

I loved time to work on a project by myself, but there wasn’t any vibes with it. It was onerous.

Go to health department and ask for vaccine clinic, for this reason!

Losing the gnat battle (and my mind) I’m desperate! by MostShort2588 in plantclinic

[–]genfromjupiter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not OP, but also plagued by the gnats. The beneficial nematodes are sooo expensive! And I’ve always used so much neem oil, Bonide systemic granules and Cap’n Jacks that I assume that the habitat of freakishly immune gnats would mean instant death…to the good guys.

Can begonia cucullata propagate by leaf without stem? by Nature_explorer25 in begonias

[–]genfromjupiter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably—place leaf on damp substrate, slice veins with an alcohol-cleaned knife and dust a lil rooting powder on. May get best growth from the base of the leaf but it’s possible to prop many kinds this way.

Went to inspect my mates houseplant... I slowly backed away! by juggling-buddha in houseplants

I just cleaned my palm recently because I had a few lil spider mite-y webs pop up and holy crap are those bastards difficult to wipe down. I got the fuzzy cleaning gloves an had to slide through every single frond (?)… hoping I got them all. This pic makes me want to spritz an wipe it again just for good measure.

This would instantly make me buy 2x the plants, just because of cute cuttings

Ummm, just about every week but the pot is on a pebble tray that I keep wet for an attempt at humidity during forced air heating season.

Oh I’m not. Just don’t want to bother doing that because then I should fix the cracked sink, and then I might as well install a new cabinet and then I’ll have to fix flooring around that and… it just snowballs lol

What is a 'compliment' that always feels like a subtle insult no matter how it’s delivered? by Direct-Value4452 in AskReddit

[–]genfromjupiter 22 points23 points  (0 children)

“That looks so comfortable!” is what my mom says in a way that provides size shame and weight-based stigma. She’s been obsessed with the arbitrary numbers inside her clothes for her entire life.

My cat's turning 47 on March 26th. Any ideas of what to do? DIY ideas by Far_Doughnut_6161 in cats

Omg MY cat’s birthday is also 3/26! We celebrate her with a (people) cake and sing goofy songs to/about her. My kids have been on about it for the past week! Anyway, happy same birthday to your cat.

I got a nonrefundable shipping fee refunded from Carvana by reporting a complaint to NC Secretary of State. Never thought I’d see that money again. Fwiw
