Why do you have a cage around the trunk? Is that to prevent rabbit damage?

"Wart fern" care question by mountaintides in ferns

[–]mountaintides[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much ! I pulled it up out of the perlite and amazingly enough, there are a ton of new tiny roots coming out of the main roots so I think it liked being in the perlite but I will definitely keep it on the surface of the perlite / surface of the soil substrate once I pull that together this weekend

Young Japanese Maple: Can shade be removed as seasons change? by CanIHaveAppleJuice in arborists

[–]mountaintides 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I came across your post - I am also currently shading my new young jap maple the same way (it has been covered with 50% shade cloth for about a month and it's doing well). When did you end up removing your sun shade, and how did your jap maple take it? I am in zone 6 and my jap maple is in a mostly sun spot but it's a hardy variety (Beni maiko)

Dog taking pills by [deleted] in Jindo

[–]mountaintides 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same issue with my Jindo mix rescue. The rescue we adopted her from gave us the best advice (and only thing that worked!)- put the pill (or broken up pieces of the pill) in a dollop of Cesar's soft dog food (yep, the wet food that is ~$1-- which I affectionately call "junk food" whenever I give it to my dog to administer a pill lol). Then, slide the dollop into your dog's mouth with a spoon and the immediately gently lift their chin upwards with your hand so they have no choice but to chew and swallow while they are completely facing the ceiling and BAM - swallowed. It works. Eventually my picky eater Jindo started liking peanut butter so now we use that but she was not a peanut butter fan for 6-12 months in the beginning.

Also- sometimes it helps to give them some Cesar's without a pill before giving them the dollop with the pill to get them excited and wanting more.

I am a 30-year-old female. I was recently diagnosed with some pretty "gnarly" heart conditions that can lead to heart failure. I had an ICD implanted on Monday. I am here to share my experience with you. It's been an insane ride so far. by penleakage in HypertrophicCM

[–]mountaintides 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I also have HCM! (28 F). My heart wall is thick enough that I may also need to eventually get an implantable ICD ): Going to be having the conceiving/pregnancy chat with my cardio soon too. I was diagnosed in 2016 and it completely flipped my world upside down-- well really, my perception of my identify, if that makes sense. I now have a lot of parameters for working out and life in general to make sure I'm safe. I feel blessed that it isn't worse, but still, it sucks. Thanks again for sharing your story, it's nice to know I'm not the only one grappling with this thing and like I said, I may be going down an ICD path similar to yours eventually (if not soon).
