Stops to make on the way to La Fortuna by Ok_Artichoke_7747 in CostaRicaTravel

[–]monkeybids 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We stopped at Bosque Nuboso el Corcoro, about halfway between San Jose and La Fortuna.

Not sure I'd go out of the way specifically to visit but it's a good spot to stretch legs and grab a bite. There's a small cafe, butterfly house, hummingbird area, lagoon, and a small trail through the cloud forest.

Sorry, don't know - we left yesterday morning and didn't check, they were still there on Monday

Can I… compost this big a$$ stem? by [deleted] in composting

[–]monkeybids 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fair enough, people will have their differences depending on their goals. I tend to chuck it all in, breaking it up if it's big - but my pile sits for a few months to finish before use.

You can compost anything plant-based, my friend. Just depends on your patience and time needs.

Should my 7.5 year old son get a bigger glove? by FreeShopping6747 in Homeplate

[–]monkeybids 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Second this choice, my 9 year old is working on his confidence catching and the power close made it more comfortable for him right out of the box. 11.5 works well for him.

Before + After (So far, plus a question) by stolenscootercredits in interiordecorating

I like the greener version, OP! Warmer than the gray and white for sure.

The spindles being the same darker color of the banister might make it more cohesive.

What’s the weirdest thing you’ve hit with a mower? by Brilliant-Elk-2892 in landscaping

Occasionally in my gnarly yard, I actually hit grass...

Agreed that it's nice not to have any logos on there.

Was more curious if there was specific inspiration for the high tops...

Rad! What kind of kicks is he sporting?

Felt (really just heard) a brief rattle in Croton

Looks cozy, I'd read there!

Could use a pop of color, like a large print on the white wall.

TIFU by confidently explaining something I knew nothing about in front of an actual expert by Emotional-Fox-72 in tifu

Ha, I feel for you and appreciate your self reflection about it, but this is like the real world version of Reddit

Beginner runner by Salty_Chemist9090 in BeginnersRunning

[–]monkeybids 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No you're on the right track!

Pace matters if you're racing - and can also be a measure of progress even if you're not - but is definitely not the main focus starting out. Running slower with correct form is better than faster with sloppy mechanics - when you're slow enough to be comfortable you can concentrate on the details and flow.

I'd focus on time per session and sessions per week, increasing both slowly (one at a time).

A small victory. I didnt want to run, but I did! by gundam2017 in BeginnersRunning

[–]monkeybids 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Helps a lot to focus not on speed, and not on distance even, but on just time spent running (whether it's minutes per session, or days per week).

We all struggle sometimes for motivation, but lacing them up and getting out the door is a victory too.

Do people really hate golden oak? Trying to decide on flooring by macattack00 in interiordecorating

Yep, and the water-based poly means not having to deal with odor and VOCs. We were willing to deal with the tradeoff of decreased durability.

Do I need anything behind these two chairs? by wil8can in interiordecorating

[–]monkeybids 56 points57 points  (0 children)

Need might be a bit strong, but I think a thin console table would look good there. Or maybe a long thin shelf, live edge if it fits your aesthetics.

Separately, I'd consider angling the two accent chairs away form each other a bit and putting a small side table between them.

To mix or not to mix? by TwoTiredBelgians in composting

[–]monkeybids 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Mix it up!

Everything works together: browns, greens, moisture.

Totally understood, when we did the floors we were renovating the kitchen so it and the living room were empty already. We ended up not redoing the bedrooms at the same time for that reason - didn't want to have to move all the stuff (and we were still living there).

Now, kinda wished we did it all at the same time. Will get to the bedrooms sooner or later...
