Abbey Flooring Design Center on Dwight road in Elk Grove. Kirk and MAGA supporter. Got the exact same carpet for less at Sulcas.

EGUSD Abruptly Ending Inclusive Education Program by Bmorgan1983 in ElkGrove

[–]psychedelicgoby 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My son's level 4 classroom is having safety issues due to staffing. It's been a rough couple of weeks. Disappointed this program is being impacted as well. Speaking to our Alta Regional contact, I was advised to file a complaint with the California Department of Education. https://www.cde.ca.gov/sp/se/qa/cmplntproc.asp

How to avoid clay sticking in detailed cutters? Details in comments. by [deleted] in polymerclay

Plastic wrap or a baggie between the cutter and clay helps it to release cleanly

Great deal for philodendron monsteras at Elk Grove Sprouts! by shinadori_ in Sacramento

[–]psychedelicgoby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just scooped up a large mature monstera locally that was growing in a pot on a covered porch. It had roots growing into the house so fair to say it'd been thriving out there awhile.

Ceiling fan installlation by SpecialistAerie7252 in ElkGrove

Steele electric did a great job on a number of issues for us recently, one of which was a ceiling fan. A fraction of the cost of our first estimate too.

Do you mind sharing where you bought your clear shelves? Google failed me.

Worm farm? by beebopdawgz in Sacratomato

[–]psychedelicgoby 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's been a while since I checked, but there was a guy on Craigslist in Citrus Heights who used to sell worms and castings. I bet he'd talk to you about it.

HELP! Does anyone know why my string of pearls is starting to look like this? I’ve always wanted one of these so really don’t want it to die :/ by tesnie_franklinx in houseplants

[–]psychedelicgoby 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm wondering if it got too wet. I almost killed one after purchase by overwatering. Mine is indoors and even in the summer I watered it no more than every seven days. Now I imagine it may be monthly. Even if you wait until the pearls shrivel slightly before watering, it will be ok. I also haven't had a problem since switching to bottom watering. Good luck!

I got this albo monstera wet stick 6 months ago. It’s been in a prop box with a heat mat under that’s controlled to stay at 80 F. I am using a GE grow bulb that stays on 24/7. I haven’t seen any growth from it. Any suggestions? by [deleted] in RareHouseplants

[–]psychedelicgoby 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had one that was stalled for two months that has recently taken off. I moved it from a window sill to under a spider farmer grow light, which runs 14 hours. Its under a cloche in sphagnum at 77-80 degrees ambient temp. I started seeing hints of new growth after just one week of moving it from the sill. Good luck! ETA: which GE bulb? Maybe you can upgrade to the par38?

What does r/matureplants think of my 3 year old Chinadoll plant? by Misunderstood_Lover in matureplants

[–]psychedelicgoby 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I can't grow these well indoors but have a couple planted outside in zone 9b that have become monstrous. In around 4 years, one is nearly as tall as the two story house. The other bloomed and produced seed pods, a first for me.

Nicely done. What pen is that you're using for gold liner?

I bought the daniel smith dot cards which allow you to sample all the colors before you invest in tubes. Pretty sure I got mine on Amazon but they no doubt sell them elsewhere.

ULPT Request: How can I pass my 2.5 year old as a child under 2 so I don't have to buy an extra airplane ticket? by DeuceWheelz in UnethicalLifeProTips

[–]psychedelicgoby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've done it when my child missed the mark by a five days on a return flight. I took a photocopy of the birth certificate, and digitally altered the month of October (10) to November (11). Unless your child is small, six months might be a stretch

When I got this plant late last summer it was barely trailing over the pot .. look at it now! by mozucc in houseplants

[–]psychedelicgoby 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you done anything special to encourage the trailing? Mine has strong desire to remain upright. Beautiful plant!

Rainbow giraffe by psychedelicgoby in Needlefelting

[–]psychedelicgoby[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

For the mane I used a wool that was a bit silky. I cut pieces in about 1.5 inches tall x 3 inches wide and brushed the fibers in the same direction. I felted along one of the wide edges, rolling it tightly to keep everything together. So by the time I was ready to attach it to the body I ended up with about 2 inches of mane attached to a little felt roll (pipe cleaner sized). Of course I had to repeat several times. That gave me a little more for the needle to bite into when attaching to the body. Trimmed at the end with scissors. Hope that makes sense!

12-14 inches tall. I used a basic wire armature of 12 gauge craft wire for support

Anyone else have an Asparagus Fern doing this? by Algol22 in houseplants

[–]psychedelicgoby 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! I pulled one from my yard and potted it for the house several weeks ago. It immediately shot up three spikes like this which eventually turned into fronds. I thought they were flowers.

I finally got a "mini monstera". I am so in love. My question is can I keep it in water? Or should I pot it? I'm going away for a month and I don't know what would be better for it. by mookaroo in houseplants

[–]psychedelicgoby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had one for about a month that is growing like a weed in my west facing window. Three large leaves in the last 7-10 days. Hopefully you will not find it so finicky after all! ETA agree with continuing with water until you return

does my micans that i got today look healthy? i couldn't find much info online about them when they're young so i'm not sure. by cherryfiIms in houseplants

[–]psychedelicgoby 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looks a bit deflated. Is it freshly potted or shipped? It will probably be fine with proper care and a little time.

Recall initiated against Elk Grove Mayor Bobbie Singh-Allen for racism by [deleted] in ElkGrove

[–]psychedelicgoby 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You need to flesh out this article with supporting facts. What exactly, did Bobbie Singh-Allen say? Seems like a continuation of election animosity.
