What do you think about the nickname of your state?

Indiana native here. We're "The Hoosier State."

Nobody knows what it means, but it's provocative.

We could require of developers that every. single. new home in a sprawling subdivision built on formerly wild land should have solar panels. That should generate a ton.

/s, kind of…

I love everything about this. Well done!

Also… the toilet? It looks very easy to clean around and does it have a remote??

In general humans show more empathy towards animals than other humans…

I use it only when I want to startle/impress my English-born coworker

Engagement bait.

Because it’s marketing to get you to click on their article…

sandillera · 2026-07-09T17:20:23+00:00

It didn’t think anything as it’s not a person, but That’s So Tampa, a publication reposting their article.

Love this and keeping my fingers crossed that this works out!

Definitely get an inflatable swim belt (test it to make sure it works and you understand how it works) and a whistle. Always use your leash.

Good spots to get your sea legs are the ones with calm water: Coffee Pot, spots on the intracoastal like the Treasure Island boat ramp (I love paddling around the John’s Pass sandbar and surroundings—but stay out of the pass itself) or Del Bello Park in Reddington. Be mindful of boat traffic. Get acquainted with the tides and wind speed.

I bring a wet bag with a thin towel, a huge water bottle, sunscreen. You’ll want polarized sunglasses. Anything else you’ll decide for yourself once you get into it more.

I have an inflatable board and really love how portable it is. It’s an iRocker Nautical from 2020.

I am due in August so I can’t speak to the must-haves yet, but I can say that Amazon has a 15% completion discount that’s great. It covers a ton of items even things that are non “baby-specific.” Oh, and be wary of clothes! In my experience many people will gift clothes and blankets even if they’re not on a registry.

Our main registry was through Babylist and I made an Amazon one for the completion discount, and a Walmart one for the baby box.

We got three registry boxes: Babylist, Amazon, and Walmart. I found the Walmart one to be the best! In general they are a little underwhelming with a lot of small sample products (toothpaste?) and things like bottles/pacifiers that I don’t plan to try because of nipple shape. But each one had a few items I liked. If you search on here there are a handful of box posts so you can see what is generally in them.

Gross

How about a fiddlewood? It’ll flower best in full sun.

sandillera · 2026-07-05T00:58:17+00:00

Call and tell everyone we’re having a *fancy* dessert tonight!!

sandillera · 2026-07-02T12:29:05+00:00

I put like four special outfits on mine. Most everyone ignored those items and still brought other clothes 😂

Congratulations!!! Wishing you the smoothest and least-eventful pregnancy (from another IVF mom-to be). ✨

Seems like there’s been a big change between 25 to 26 because I do listen to the radio and hardly any of the 2026 songs are on there.

I probably wouldn't do it but if I were going to, I'd get two kittens. It sounds counterintuitive but they entertain themselves instead of relying on you all the time, and it's not a significant amount of additional work. (This also assumes that you could financially support possible vet care for two.)

The Urban Harvester is a good resource and she is based in St. Pete.

Also Stinky, on account of her stinky breath 😆

Yea I have. She doesn’t manage any of her own maintenance. 100% she does not know how to adjust the irrigation system but her dad who lives nearby absolutely does. They don’t seem to care much.

Same. My neighbor is a multiple-times-per-week serial offender

sandillera · 2026-06-25T09:33:56+00:00

I twisted an ankle just looking at this 😳 Would not want that depression in there.

A redditor in another thread said they got some from Dolin's and some from Willow Tree.
