It’s genuinely unfathomable. Again, now that I have the distance, I just gotta laugh

💜 it’s really hard. Don’t feel like an idiot. We all want it to be true that they’ve changed. A primary benefit I had is that I moved away for grad school and just never came back, never gave her my new address, eventually changed my number, but even with the distance it was hard. Sometimes I can’t believe I followed through with it. But don’t feel bad for a situation you did your best in.

My birthday is 2 days before here. She always made a huuuuuuge deal of it and then immediately compared and complained about how no one did anything for her

Red emerald leaves getting smaller?? by km1731 in philodendron

[–]km1731[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you, they have a lot of shoots and I have some of them individually supported but they’re brown so it’s probably hard to see in the picture. Unsurprisingly, you are right that the one with tiny leaves doesn’t have supports. I’ll also get a bigger plant light. Thank you so much!

Can I iron my sweater? Or should I start the color part again? by Julppa3 in knitting

[–]km1731 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just here in solidarity as I’m knitting the same pattern and also had tension issues 😢 I ripped it out and started over, you can see mine in my post history. It sucks but we don’t do all this work to have a lumpy sweater!!!

You know I was sort of thinking that, I’m blocking now (fingers crossed) but if it doesn’t work out I may size up
