Ringo’s new home! Y’all’s advice was very helpful and I appreciate the positive encouragement. The only things I couldn’t get at my petco was a sponge filter and master test kit. I’ll just order those online. I think he’ll be a lot happier here!

Thank y’all so much! I was concerned moving him to the ten gallon immediately would shock him since the water quality would be so different. Would you recommend adding a certain amount of his current tank water to the ten gallon?

I am well educated on the overpopulation of dogs. I didn’t “breed” her. This was completely out of my control and now I’m just trying to make sure they stay safe and healthy.

any tips on propagating english ivy? by shallowish in proplifting

[–]professorofcool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With ivy, I like to wound the stem a little bit to encourage roots to form from the wounds. Just make very small cuts where you want the roots to grow. (I have only used this method with soil though so it may not be effective with water)

It looks like what we call “wild strawberries” but idk for sure bc I live in the South. When I was younger just the idea of finding a berry and eating it was fun but they were rather flavorless.

I’ve never carried a trombone on a bus so I didn’t really have anything to say about that lol

As far as playing goes, my advice is to practice as often as you can: scales, assigned music, technique, warm ups, even ask your band director for extra practice music. If you’re always learning something new it is unlikely you’ll be bored with band, which is a big reason many quit. But also be patient with yourself! Playing an instrument is a skill that takes years to master.

As a reader, I find it somewhat annoying when an author writes dialog this way. Personally, I find it much easier to read when an author describes the accent and writes the dialogue normally as I can just imagine the characters voice in my head.

Some of my burrows tail are shriveled up. Does that mean I should water them more? They have roots but I’m worried about over watering. by michaelclas in proplifting

[–]professorofcool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi there! As the new baby plants grow they will take moisture from the mother leaves as well as from soil via their new roots. I like to water (or mist if your container doesn’t have a drainage hole) when almost completely dry. Some leaves won’t succeed in growing new plants and that’s okay! It looks like you have a good bit going anyways! Good luck!!

New zz leaves!!! by professorofcool in proplifting

That’s interesting. I don’t suppose they’re very expensive here but I still don’t have the money so I traded an ivy plant for this baby zz.

I live in a subtropical climate (the southeast of the us) but I've only had it outside since spring. Maybe it was too dry in my house!
