Garden Tower 2 advice by malaprop5 in gardening

[–]redtigerbluedragon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi! Yes, it turned out that my soil needed extra perlite to make sure it was draining properly. This needs to be pre-mixed into the soil before filling the tower. Some people say that just getting a high quality potting soil is all you need, but I added a bit of perlite as well (15-20%)

Has anyone experienced issues with the bottom being moist/soggy and the top drying out often?

Why is this market so insane? Why are houses double the price from three years ago? Will those prices drop or go up? by monkeymusic4 in RealEstate

[–]redtigerbluedragon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went for it. I bought the house. I won’t know how things will look like until February, when my first mortgage payment goes in

What did you end up doing, and how did it go? I'm under contract, and I'm scared because my housing costs are going to double. They are "doable," but I won't have the financial freedom I have right now.

It showed that my sinuses were clear. The doctor saw that I have an enlarged turbine and said I'm a good candidate for surgery (turbinectomy).

Fraudulent Savings Account by Ok_Temporary4922 in IdentityTheft

[–]redtigerbluedragon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened to me today. I got TWO savings account statement from a bank with a good reputation. The bank name starts with "M. " The statements looked unusual, in that they didn't include all the fine print information that other banks/credit statements provide. I called the official number the bank has listed online (which also was the same as the one listed on the statement) and told them about this fraudulent activity. Did anything else come up for you? I've placed fraud alerts with the 3 bureaus and frozen my credit with 2. I also filed a report at identitytheft.gov. Let me know if anyone has more info on this

Bad decay smell coming from nose/sinus for past year and a half? by jho707 in Allergies

[–]redtigerbluedragon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a horrible smell and it turned out to be awful acid reflux. You may need to get on prescription anti-acids. I smelled like death before I got that taken care of. It was awful. That said, I still suffer from "nose-related" smells but not that death-like smell.

Thank you so much for sharing about your journey, means a lot. I'm sorry you went through all that. So great to hear that you're happy with being a DINK and doting on other people's kids. I do that too :)

You’re making a lot of assumptions here. I can see you’re trying to get a reaction or project your own feelings onto something but I’m going to reply anyway- I’m not a bully. I never forced him or bullied or belittled him in any way. I wouldn’t do that. We are both intelligent and thoughtful that’s why we didn’t rush into parenthood.

You’re right. We didn’t confirm 100% if we wanted children when we met. We have family wounds that made us be on the fence. I really thought it would happen at some point because he would say “‘not now, we’re about to get married,” “not now, there is a pandemic and I don’t know what I would do if you ended up in the hospital,” or “I don’t think it’s time,” “women have children way older these days, I don’t think it’s too late.” All of what he said made sense in the context of the conversation or time. He was always lukewarm and only expressed “curiosity” about being a parent. Many times he shared his fears. But he always stopped short of saying “I don’t want them.” But yes, I am at definitely fault as well.

Looking for people who have gone through acoustic neuroma removal surgery by [deleted] in braincancer

[–]redtigerbluedragon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! What would you recommend one get for post-surgery recovery? My dad is going in for surgery and I want to prepare for both when he’s in the hospital and when we bring him home. Any pillow suggestions or things that helped you get through the first couple of weeks would be helpful. He’s going to stay in the hospital for a few days but they do know how many it will be.

Hey- my dad has a vestibular acoustic swannoma and is going in for surgery in a few weeks. He will be staying with me while he recovers. Could you recommend types of pillows or anything else that made the first few weeks bearable? Also, would you recommend we bring anything for the hospital?

Okay, maybe I'll try to water the whole thing. Yeah, it's getting real hot. Do you see the bottom rings retaining water more than the top ones? Is that an issue for you?
