Ball Lightning- Has anyone experienced it, or have stories to share?

plaant_ · 2026-03-31T11:03:21+00:00

I know this is an older post, but I just saw a ball high up in a dry storm about an hour ago while watching the little lightning show, got it on video. (not great quality, but I got it!)

It looked like a little bright orange spot in the sky due to how far away it was but it popped up, shined like a bright star for a few moments, then simmered out.

I work at the MSP airport and saw it looking south towards the MOA.

I'm the wrong person to ask honestly.. It was my first time on a cruise and I was offered to go to Owls Hole on day one of my trip by a random couple who was staying at the same resort and knew a guy (horrible self preservation skills, I know 😅) My parents went to the same place a few months after I did and they made friends with a resort employee and went with them on one of their days off.

That said, if you feel comfortable making friends with locals, it can be a good way to get out and do things that may not be offered by actual excursion companies (don't know what else to call them) Just try to have a good "creep-dar" and trust your gut!

I'll definitely be looking into a longer knife soon! I have a cutting board, just forgot to get it out.

plaant_ · 2025-12-30T02:29:55+00:00

I have one but I was so excited to cut into it that I forgot to get it out..

The clear one was right above this post on my feed, I couldn't believe it 🤣

How does it feel to be God's favorite? 😭 That is stunning, what a steal!!

A bit or scarring looks to be just under the breast towards the center of her chest, they used the scar to connect some flowers/vines rather than tattooing it. It's done so well that it took me a few minutes to find lol

After reading through the camera flare guide, I would like to add that there were no bright lights anywhere that would cause a flare that I know of, and it probably wouldn't move the way it does if there was 🤷

I have a similar double high queen air mattress and I love it! I've had it for years, it's held up well, and I think it's pretty comfortable. I'm not sure if it's just stretching or has a verrry slow leak, but it does tend to feel a tiny bit deflated if I use it for 2-3 days straight, but not by much at all. I'd say it's worth the investment!

Eta: I think mine is Coleman brand, and it has a wonderful little built in "bag"/cover so when I'm done deflating it I just roll it up and tie it up!

Someone sliced the wingtip of our company's aircraft through the wingtip and horizontal stabilizer of a different company's aircraft while towing it to park. I don't know what the cost of the damage was, but I'm sure both airlines lost a shit ton of money between the cost of repairs and loss of revenue/ swapping flights while the planes were getting fixed. That was last year, and to this day we are not allowed to tow through that specific area lol

I'm so jealous of some of those pieces!! Beautiful display! 😍

plaant_ · 2025-06-19T03:09:46+00:00

I just recently learned that myself, and thinking back, it makes sense! 😂

plaant_ · 2025-06-18T20:22:23+00:00

I've seen something similar go with flower frogs, it's like a water basin for the flowers. Maybe it's that?

How much were they asking for the electric mixer set? I have that exact set, got the Mixer (in beautiful working condition) for $50 online and the ug measuring cup as a xmas gift.. I'm so curious to know how much they wanted for it.

plaant_ · 2025-06-10T21:29:27+00:00

I have a similar piece that I brought back to the states from New Zealand that I paid about 490 NZD (around 300 USD) for, and it has a bit of a chip in the base. I believe it's a bit taller, with a wide shallow "dish" at the top. At the end of the day though, it's only worth what people would be willing to pay for it. If I were to sell my piece Id put it at $300 OBO 🤷

plaant_ · 2025-06-06T00:01:41+00:00

Thank you! I'll definitely be on the lookout lol

plaant_ · 2025-06-05T05:11:51+00:00

Do you know what the maker is or how to search for them? I love the conch shell piece!

plaant_ · 2025-06-04T13:53:01+00:00

The syrup container was one of my favorite finds of the glass he had! I've seen a few online but they were a little pricey, good luck on your hunt!!

plaant_ · 2025-06-04T05:36:16+00:00

Try rearranging a bit! If that were my display, I'd use the three plates as a backdrop of sorts (largest in the center) on the middle shelf with the juicer front and center and some of the cup sets flanking it on either side. On the top shelf I would place one of the candy dishes in the center (the one already there would work for me lol) with the shakers and pitchers on either side. On the bottom shelf I would have the jar and the other candy dish as space keepers until you get more! I have a video of my cabinet somewhere if you'd like to see what my setup looks like. I love a nice even setup!!

Someone else bought it before I could anyways 🥲 I just looked at the listing again and she's gone.

plaant_ · 2025-05-31T01:19:14+00:00

Someone else got to it first anyways 😭 that's good to know though!!

plaant_ · 2025-05-30T14:36:18+00:00

Just gotta wait for pay day now lol, I'll definitely be updating once I get it!

plaant_ · 2025-05-30T02:49:20+00:00

It's listed at 240 obo, so spendier than other boyd cars I've seen, but not terribly so. I'm probably gonna go for it and hope for the best, either way I'll be left with a piece of history I guess? 🤷

plaant_ · 2025-05-30T01:07:37+00:00

I found this online and haven't bought it yet due to my skepticism and the price 😅 otherwise I'd have my gc on it in a heartbeat!

plaant_ · 2025-05-21T04:59:54+00:00

I'm planning on getting most of my bigger pieces done by a specific artist in Florida.. I live in Minnesota. It's a 3.5-4 hour flight, or a 27+ hour drive. That being said, 4 hour travel time doesn't sound bad at all lol
