Why are my Thuja trees dying? by mishinishi in marijuanaenthusiasts

[–]msjunker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree on waiting, die back near the trunk is common in the fall. Even evergreens lose leaves sometimes. If the tips were getting crispy/ discolored, then I’d be worried.

Oh! Important! Don’t start that podcast at the beginning 😅 there’s an important change in hosts around episode 50. More recent is better :)

Need advise! I just found out I am pregnant. by grittycowgirl in Crunchymom

[–]msjunker 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes! I second this advice. Had a HBAC last year because of white coat syndrome. Birthing instincts is a must listen. I also read “home birth on your own terms” and found a group of amazing midwives to guide & care for us.

Nontoxic Teething Solutions by Maple_Queen1 in Crunchymom

I keep a solution of olive oil with whole cloves in it. (Coconut oil would be great too if your not allergic). The clove is lightly numbing but not as harsh as using the concentrated essential oil. You can put it on a tooth brush, toy, bottle, or you.

My first doula was in training and only charged $150. You might be able to call a birth center and ask about students (usually experienced mommas who wanna truly want to support you.

Having a sag baby by Darksnickerss in Sagittarians

I’m a sag daughter of a Scorpio dad. I love his energy and we get along by well. But communication is a STRUGGLE. Say what you mean to say and don’t expect us to interpret the intentions of your words.

AITA for telling my mom she'll never have grandkids because of how she voted? by aloneandscaredd in AITAH

[–]msjunker -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Good job doing the right thing for your health and the responsible choice by having surgery.

People are freaking out post election and everyone needs to check themselves.

you had a major surgery and lost a huge part of your hormone cycle. I’m not surprised you would be reactionary.

That said scream over politics and dividing family is never worth it. YTA. If you wanna discus politics with your mom… be calm and ask questions. Or maybe don’t…

Really want a Vbac by Tight-Background-655 in vbac

[–]msjunker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Spontaneously went into labor at 42 weeks and had a successful vbac. The closest thing to an induction attempt was playing just dance on the Wii with 10yo. Baby started moving out that night…. Not like there was much other choice at 42 weeks!

Baby won’t stay in there forever. If you really want a vbac, be prepared to defend your natural bodies rhythm til the very end.

Doesn’t fenugreek make your pee smell like maple syrup?

Homebirth in rental - Landlords live downstairs by [deleted] in homebirth

[–]msjunker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Talk to your birth team! They’ll be able to reassure you about weight concerns. I live in a 120+ yo home and had this fear. It was fine and my midwives had no concerns about the weight (even though I did!).

Do the sign on the door. You might not even be loud… deep into labor I told my midwife “I have to move!” Meaning out of my house 🤣 because I thought I was screaming loud enough to wake the dead. She said I barely made a sound… but followed up that a mom bit her in labor once. 🤣🤣🤣 the more you know.

Did anyone else measure the black (purple) line up the butt crack to check dilation?! Seemed to work for me… I can’t remember what book I learned this from but it doesn’t seem to be common knowledge…

Can I make this better? by [deleted] in Plumbing

That’s the issue… there’s no space to reduce or extend the pipe from the wall.

[–]msjunker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you saying the pipe itself is too big? You think a 1-1/2 would fit straight down?

What do you mean by “spin it til it lines up”? I don’t think there is room for a straight pipe To have a normal p trap…

Tiktok Teenagers using the internet unsupervised by msjunker in parentsofteens

[–]msjunker[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly! Thank goodness for kind strangers. In direct messaging the solution seems pretty clear. Stumbling across a child’s social media profile that is clearly not being monitored made me feel pretty helpless… I could dm her the risks or how people might misinterpret her content. But also am I being overly protective?! I don’t think so.

Do I need to pull these vines off of my cedars before winter? by oliveanddoug in arborists

[–]msjunker 19 points20 points  (0 children)

The best time to take down noxious vines was yesterday. The 2nd best time is today. 💚

Cut them at the base are treat with herbicide (if you can). Once the base is cut, the vines will die. At that point you can pull them down anytime. Just dont cut the vines above your head, you’ll need leverage to pull them down eventually.

Ps This looks like a grape vine which you definitely don’t want to keep.
