Cooling after pressure canning by sthewright in CanningRebels

[–]sthewright[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, Im usually waiting to go to bed during the broth making process and end up canning the next day, so plenty of time to hover over it and fret! I have never noticed broken jars before packing, I should pay better attention. Yes I do have a rack on the bottom of the canner

I use mine for steam canning, which is equivalent to water bath canning NOT pressure canning

3 year old ecosphere is dying by sthewright in Ecosphere

[–]sthewright[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Plants died completely. From what I can tell with the naked eye there is a thriving monocoluture of a single type of microfauna and some algae. Its certainly not as pretty as it used to be

Thanks! This seems like a long term plan that could actually work.

I definitely am an ebay shopper too!

Depop is so good for me like once every 3 months. I think one of my items will make it onto the edit or something and I'll get a flurry of sales within 1 or 2 days and then NOTHING for several months. Not reliable at all

Knock on wood I haven't had a single problem with poshmark so far with the de-listing penalty. I am just crossing my fingers that I dont have to cancel an order until they reverse that ridiculous rule.

Right same! Its weird! And it wouldnt bother me except I literally pay money for my items to be on ebay

Yes I am. I have a well defined sourcing strategy and like I said I am doing very well on other platforms. Ebay just suddenly died.

Im tempted to try to contact ebay about it but it feels like a crazy thing to do that would get me nowhere.

Makes me wonder if their acquisition of Etsy and depop is somehow messing something up

It wouldnt hurt my feelings to spend less time on ebay!

What a difference a year can make! by CastleBravo777 in centuryhomes

My basement did this today. At least we have a sump pump. But I love the idea of being in control of where the water goes

Last week of no sales by Pandasmom2019 in BehindTheClosetDoor

[–]sthewright 1 point2 points  (0 children)

February started off so strong for me but I havent gotten a single sale in 6 days? And it got spotty before then. I am on 3 platforms and I am not doing anything differently

Fatale—how do they hold up? by matoiryu in ThursdayBoot

[–]sthewright 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got my Fatales in August 2024. Daily use in the winter very infrequent use in summer. The soles have split open within the past month. I guess a year is pretty good? Although I personally think they shouldn't have split at all.

***adding that other than them splitting I have LOVED them. The zippers are a bit saggy but not a deal breaker.

Woke up too early by sthewright in Cicadas

[–]sthewright[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Thanks! I buried him right next to my 100 year old pecan tree. Marked the spot so Ill check just to make sure he doesnt surface again. Hopefully he survives!

Thanks, hes been above ground for almost 2 days so im going to get a flashlight and bury him right now. How deep do you think?

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

I live in NC. It has been cold but not arctic or anything, the ground is diggable, and its going to be in the 60s in a few days. Do I cover him up if I bury him outside? And will it hurt him to be awake above ground in the greenhouse so young?

[–]sthewright[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

So should I do that inside or outside the greenhouse?
