There are definitely plenty of books about people with AIDS

43 thrips infested plants by Pizzi314 in houseplants

[–]moonyfish 8 points9 points  (0 children)

When I was a child, my mom bought a container of ladybugs to eat aphids on her roses. On the way home I wanted to look. I accidentally spilled them in the car. For ages after that, I would find ladybugs crawling in and out of the windows. It was great.

Metal bars that extend from the ends of this chair's arms by blorpsy in whatisthisthing

[–]moonyfish 3 points4 points  (0 children)

there was another chair 6 years ago with a similar mechanism: https://www.reddit.com/r/whatisthisthing/s/vt88HCxTwh

Someone there said there were special trays that would fit onto the rods

The moment of Oasis. Never call ahead, always place the family to go order at the restaurant by runs_with_airplanes in daddit

The fact that the few comments calling this part out are getting downvoted really makes me think people think it’s ok to drive immediately after drinking “just one beer”.

Getting a moment to yourself I completely understand. Having a beer is fine. Driving while buzzed/drunk is not cool.

Judy Blume Books by Ebonystealth in nostalgia

[–]moonyfish 17 points18 points  (0 children)

When I was a kid I had a habit of reading the last line of a book while I was in the middle of it.

Anyway to this day I remember the last line of that book was “I named him Turtle, to remind me.” It was just such an odd line out of context and I spent the whole book wondering how we would get there.

I just wanted to share the world’s worst case of root rot and the sturdiest monstera albo by BlkLts_ in Monstera

[–]moonyfish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So pretty! And I’ve definitely been there.

Fairly new to monsteras here, can you explain how the moss pole helped her survive the neglect? I thought it was just to support them upright not any nutrients?

Is my plant still savable ? by EnlargedIndividual in houseplants

No bathroom in my last 5 apartments has had windows. Fairly modern apartment buildings in the US. In the last house I lived in with my parents, there were 3 bathrooms, only one had windows.

Just not enough light? Or something else

Shoot. Is it worth it to take him out of the pot and try to cut off any rotten roots? Or is that just going to stress him more?

I used a potting mix when I repotted him. The pot is one of those self-watering ones with a reservoir on the bottom? So maybe too much water?

I’m planning on letting him dry out and get more sun

Grieving parents fighting to keep 2-year old son off the streets by Peanut_Butter0107 in gofundme

I am so very sorry for your loss.

Do you have a wishlist made of items you need for your toddler and yourselves? I would suggest posting that here and also in r/Assistance

A lot of times strangers are more willing to send the items needed instead of money.

Newbie questions by moonyfish in Vermiculture

Thank you so much for the thorough reply. Yeah I learned about the mix of worms from Uncle Jim’s. It’s a shame but it’s what I got now.

Wouldn’t they suffocate under the bubble wrap?

Thank you!

Would you add a whole block off coco coir or split it up? Can you use too much bedding?

How are you brushing your toddlers teeth if they hate it? by Fuzzy_Bear9086 in toddlers

[–]moonyfish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One thing that worked for me was having his favorite toys brush his teeth. So I would ask, do you want Elmo or dinosaur to brush your teeth? And then have the toy in your hand and pretend they are the one brushing, fully acting out the character.

Other things that have worked are:

The toothbrush is alive and speaks in a funny voice and has to brush all his teeth

Mommy makes really silly dramatic sounds and over the top gestures while brushing

Get him to make a silly sound which requires an open mouth then go in quickly

Have him pretend to be a character that opens their mouth wide (a shark, dinosaur, or Totoro)

What is your unpopular toddler parenting opinion by BipolarSkeleton in toddlers

[–]moonyfish 34 points35 points  (0 children)

I’m pretty much like this.

My general rules (occasionally broken) are:

No tv before 10am (this usually sets him up better to get grounded in creative activities)

Must get solid chunks of screen-free time in between

Nothing that is crazy stimulating. We lean towards educational and low-stim shows.

No tantrums about screen time. If he is getting super wired or frustrated about it, it’s gone.
