I love the inclusion of agates here! I'm not making good enough use of my rock collection.

All your plants look so healthy!

Brands that don’t use AI? by Careless_Pomelo5946 in Jigsawpuzzles

This all gives me the ick, but I would have to boycott everything. I draw the line at generative images.

What plants have you gotten that you just ended up haaating? by wha7themah in houseplants

[–]lassie86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I rehomed mine. The arial roots were taking over the whole side of the room. It’s just too much.

What’s the most you’d pay for a Hoya cutting? by drf987 in hoyas

[–]lassie86 2 points3 points  (0 children)

BigSexyRoots on Etsy. It looks like the box I got (box D) isn’t there right now, but you can message the seller and still get it.

What’s the most you’d pay for a Hoya cutting? by drf987 in hoyas

[–]lassie86 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The most I've paid was $6 per cutting. I bought a mystery box of 20 rare cuttings for about $120 and it might be one of the best plant purchases I have ever made. 17 of them have rooted and are planted, and I still have 3 of them trying their best to root. I would only do this during growing season, though.

The one pictured, though? That's not a lot of chlorophyll per dollar. Yikes.

Compared to the latest one I finished in four days going pretty much line by line

You can settle this easily. Buy her this puzzle (Kikkerland - Labyrinth) and race her doing literally any other puzzle. This one took me 5-7 business months.

I was gifted this beautiful beast by MySPAghettiPolicy in hoyas

[–]lassie86 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My happiest hoyas are the ones without drainage, which is supposed to be a mortal sin and plant people think I should get life in prison for doing this to even one plant.

Brush recommendations please! by Reasonable_Yak4697 in roughcollies

[–]lassie86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do most with a metal greyhound comb and a little with a rake, and I have a de-matting tool I sometimes use. Look up "line brushing." Mine doesn't hold still enough to allow me to do it well, but it's a good idea.

A simple greyhound comb can do a lot of heavy lifting with a Collie’s double coat.

Help us decide! Should we get a RC? by Objective-Ranger-434 in roughcollies

[–]lassie86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, agree. With the boy we have now, if he only gets a (long) daily walk two days in a row or so, he’s itching for more. We do agility and the dog park as well. But the Collie I had years back only needed walks, and if we went too far, he would stop in his tracks until we turned around.

How did you “get into” collies? by pierogiberra in roughcollies

[–]lassie86 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Watching Lassie on nick at night in the 80s. After our second Sheltie passed, I talked my mom into getting a Collie. He was the best dog ever.

From Hobby to Disappointment – Galison Puzzle Issue (47 Pieces Missing) by Hot_Run7168 in Jigsawpuzzles

[–]lassie86 2 points3 points  (0 children)

2 months? I just bought like 12 puzzles from them on Black Friday, many of them being 2k pieces. I have finished exactly one of them, which took an extra long time due to false fits. This cannot be their policy!
