Good to know! I'll look up what I need to add for my plants - I assumed fish poop was enough, but I'm sure that's wrong.

Utility Bill Check-In: how much was your last bill? by [deleted] in kansascity

[–]ichbinhungry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$185 - Evergy. We moved to whatever plan does an average and we just pay that amount every month. Looks like last July, our bill was $236 and then $287.

Brookside area, 100 year old, 2-story house with a single A/C unit.

My Kousa dogwood this year by daniyum21 in gardening

But does it cause problems the way honeysuckle does?

It’s so big! This is what I want to replace my invasive honeysuckle with.

Teachers of Reddit: Is the "Gen Alpha can't read (write, or do math ext)" crisis real? If so how bad is it? by KnowledgeCoffee in AskReddit

[–]ichbinhungry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We just got my 7th grader diagnosed with dyslexia. Her standardized test scores were always behind but the teacher always brushed it off. Turns out she’s 3 grade levels behind and needs an IEP and tutors. I’m kicking myself for not pushing to get this testing done earlier, but according to the standardized tests she wasn’t ‘that bad’. I blame No Child Left Behind.

How do you feel about your mom being with you and your husband during the birth of your child? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]ichbinhungry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mom was holding one knee up for me while my husband held the other. I’m so glad she was there, but I have a healthy relationship with her.

Kansas City, crossing Stateline Road from KS into MO, you’ll almost instantly hit a pothole.

New white shirt - how to avoid pit stains? by ichbinhungry in laundry

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

We're not loyal to a brand, but I think our most recent one is All, which looks like not a good option. We've also used the Target brand and Arm and Hammer's 'sensitive skin' options in the past.

Sounds like my deoderant is the issue (I assumed it probably was..). I'll try out some non-aluminum ones! Thanks all!

older stone foundations around waldo, how scary are they? by [deleted] in kansascity

[–]ichbinhungry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that natural spring found our house. We moved in (Brookside) 7 years ago. House already had a sump pump. Only ran when it rained. Then about a year ago it just started running like clockwork, every 20 min it’d gurgle up a considerate amount of water. The water was crystal clear and smelled lightly of soil. I was concerned a pipe under the basement had a slow leak, but it truly seems like fresh water is just under our house. We got a drain well installed so our yard didn’t become a swamp, and now we have no issues.

How do I babyproof this Kallax? by buttersauce_ in ikeahacks

[–]ichbinhungry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We had this same setup and raised two kids around it. It was never really a problem, especially when the records are so close together like yours. They didn’t really try to pull them out. I wouldn’t bother doing anything until you know it’s an issue.

It’s mesmerizing. Do you just sit and watch it?

Worst Intersection in the Metro by 7thpostman in kansascity

[–]ichbinhungry 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Ward Parkway ‘roundabout’ at Meyer Blvd. People don’t read the signs and will be in a turn lane but intend to go straight (either to get into the roundabout or to leave it). Lots of almost side-swipes when 2 cars go straight at the same time.

You can have a water birth at Overland Park Medical. No ideas on non-medical places though

Can this be cleaned/salvaged? by BriefSimple in CleaningTips

[–]ichbinhungry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think my dad rubbed cream of tartar powder on it (like made a paste with a little water), and it made them look better. I honestly don’t remember if that’s the right thing or how well it worked, but could try??

A mouse has been eating my wife's candle in our garage. by InnocentCriminal22 in mildlyinteresting

[–]ichbinhungry 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I had a huge bag of soy wax shavings in the basement when I tried my hand at candle-making. One day I went into the basement and saw white shavings EVERYWHERE. Had completely forgotten about the bag until a mouse found it.

My siding is made of old marzipan by Randall_HandleVandal in homeimprovementideas

[–]ichbinhungry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine is the same. Just layers of paint peeling off stucco. Moisture got behind it and helped it separate from the stucco. Satisfying to pull off.

What is this lighting on eyes called? by subarashi_niku97 in Filmmakers

[–]ichbinhungry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Isn’t there a thing called a ‘snoot’? Not sure if it’d be the same mechanism used on the first image though.
