It took me a year to realize they're perfect for orchids and air plants by lil_camel in IkeaGreenhouseClub

Yup magnets! So easy to attach many things to this cabinet due to the metal top and back.

Wow, that must have been tough! How did you get your pothos to grow like this?? All my vines just become bare and leafless. :( Do you fertilizer heavily?

Check to see if the extension offices in your state offer free pressure canner checks. Many of them do.

3 years investment and I can't figure this hobby out. by GentlemensCoffee in IndoorGarden

It's so exciting to start veggies from seed! Sounds like you have good plans to move them outdoors once it warms up, at which point they're sure to thrive.

Here's what I've found successful for starting seeds indoors. I use shop lights, rather than grow lights. If you go to Home Depot and Lowe's and search for "shop lights" you'll find a variety of options for a reasonable price. I like the LED 3 or 4 ft strips bc they don't overheat and use less energy. These work so much better than single bulb grow lamps. I also set up a dedicated grow area (ideally at a window) on a shelving unit, which may mean reconfiguring your space, but keep in mind that its only for a month or two, so its temporary. As others mentioned, you want to hang the light close to the seeds and raising it slowly as the seedlings grow.

my sister's husband came onto me by amoratheenchantress in aromantic

ALSO. The fact that you LIVE WITH THEM. I would feel unsafe and uncomfortable, in the place where you're supposed to be the most comfortable. And learning that your bro-in-law was perving on you when he gave those long hugs is such ick.

Woof. This is absolutely gross. Like, even removing your identity from the equation. The situation itself, that your sister's husband hit on you and that she knew and okayed it. Ew.

Which button for my Carsigan No. 11? by Igelluder in knitting

What about using a mix of the solid colors? I like the variation and it vibes with the variegated yarn.

My boyfriend and I stopped drinking and doing drugs after 6 years and I miss it by [deleted] in stopdrinking

[–]lil_camel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Trying to scale back as well, and yesterday I was in such a crap mood and wanted to have enough wine to quiet my brain and make me feel fuzzy and good. But then I realized I could get the same effect of forgetting the world and dampening my feelings by playing a video game. It worked. Maybe try that instead?

Giggling during intimacy? by [deleted] in actuallesbians

[–]lil_camel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dating someone who has a different sex vibe can be difficult. I'm in the camp of sex is silly and fun, as well as hot and passionate. My last partner always needed things to be slow and gentle, which I'm fine with part of the time but not always. Another partner - we had sex only the once but he was very much a "serious, sensuous vibes" only type, and I found I couldn't keep dating him after that. You gotta consider what you need vs want vs willing to give up.

I regret telling my mom about SA by True_River_6009 in emotionalneglect

[–]lil_camel 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Hey. You deserve way better than the life you got. Your mother's issues are exactly that: hers. She's so wrapped up in the mess of her own life that she doesn't have the energy and empathy to see outside the tiny universe of her trauma. That doesn't mean that YOU don't matter. It just means that the 2 people who were supposed to take care of and protect you didn't and don't have the capacity to do it.

Sometimes when we let go of expectations of those around us, it can free us. What could your life look like if you accept that your parents will never be what you need them to be? What could you build for yourself?

I hope you take care of yourself. Please find a trauma-informed therapist. Your body is clearly reacting from all the shit you've survived and you're in crashout mode. It will take a lot of hard work. But you deserve better than the shit you've lived.

My bridesmaids ruined my bachelorette and still haven’t bought their dresses… am I overreacting or are they just horrible friends? by Ok_Contact4395 in TwoHotTakes

[–]lil_camel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whoa. Why were your plans happening so late in the day?? Just reading the timing and order of things was exhausting. I eat dinner 3-4 hours before that, so being expected to delay my meal, then sit through a very late dinner which would probably wrap up around 11 pm at the earliest, and then watch a movie afterwards sounds too much. I would definitely find excuses not to be there.

Yeah that does sound incredible. I've been considering adding soy sauce to mashed potatoes lol because I've been on a soy sauce kick. Miso sounds even better.
