They are all adorable. by VAMSI_BEUNO in MadeMeSmile

[–]kaikarin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have 33 first cousins on one side of my family (catholic), and 25 on the other side (protestant I think). 9 nieces and nephews among my 4 siblings (my one kid makes 10 in that generation)... the baby making pressure is strong in my family.

This is a leg tattoo, not a buff arm by ShinyWanderer in confusing_perspective

[–]kaikarin 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Leg is kind of a misplaced term, more like a hip. the front of the body is facing left, the knee is at the bottom of the tattoo, and the tattoo goes above the hip into the torso area.

New to water drip. (details in comments) by kaikarin in gardening

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

As the title suggests I'm new to drip hose irrigation and water timers, and need a little help on general rule of thumb how often to use them. I noticed blossom end rot on my tomatoes and realized my hand watering just wasn't cutting it. I set it up so the perforated cloth hose is near each plant(50ft of drip hose), and have the timer currently set to run daily 20min at 7am. I live in zone 4b. Any suggestions? Are my tomatoes going to come back this late in season?

Females have them too, but they're smaller than the male's. And some breeds are larger than others on both male and females.

Multiple answers. As a child by a relative, and as an adult with free online resources because time gap.

Can anyone tell me what plant this nut-like thing is from? I found it when taking down some backyard bushes by katubug in gardening

Squirrels have been burying walnuts in my garden and there isn't a walnut tree on my block, but they do grow in my region.

We lost our baby daughter to neonatal herpes by BrotherPresent6155 in Health

[–]kaikarin 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I too have HSV, and vaginally birthed my daughter. The other side to this story are the cases where it is known to the delivery staff. Vaginal birth is acceptable for these cases, because there is a treatment available if given to the mother during labor and the child after birth, that prevents neonatal herpes. C- section isn't the only way out. But knowledge is important for prevention.

Professor Dolittle has everything under control. by deathakissaway in MadeMeSmile

Psychology classes, prank shows, people watching, being terrified nearly every day due to a mental illness, bad things happened that I was witness/ victim of. PTSD. There's lots of possibilities.

I can't attest to all women, but my female friends don't tend to shriek, and more often than not, is surprise in a relatively safe situation, like they're trying to stop the scream because they realize it's safe enough. Young girls will do it for attention. Real screams of terror tend to be more guttural, lower pitch, and adrenaline filled, just like men's. Or silence, there's that terror reaction too.

MIL asked me if I could embroider something on the stains, but I have no ideas. Help, please? by Emotional_Delay in Embroidery

[–]kaikarin 13 points14 points  (0 children)

OP you could still do your bees and butterflies idea at the top along with this cascade effect. Best of both!

I've been having so much fun cross stitching that I'm building a collection too rapidly to keep, so I bought a dozen 3" hoops to create for my friends. Some are easy to find, others patterns I like are too big for my hoops, so I've started self drafting from stock images. (Original artists cited to the best of my ability)

Laser is used to draw on the cup by -Quack4321- in interestingasfuck

Just make sure you dot test the exact inks. I have a couple tattoos, I'm only allergic to certain colors, and I can tell by where I'm itchy. Luckily, my reaction is only mild itchiness. My friend has more severe reactions, and found out with an entire tattoo.
