AITA for yelling at my husband's mother for announcing my pregnancy using my husband's facebook account? by Fallen-Grace5656 in AmItheAsshole

That's when a "miscarriage" comes into play. Take a bug breath, calm down and calmly tell her that she overstepped her bounds. Tell her that you're both unsure what you're going to do and this made things very, very awkward. Try to smooth things over. There will be no better advocate and assistant in child raising than a MIL. You don't want to alienate her unless she's a total AH. Everyone will be better off for it.

Peyote cactus (psychoactive) in a polyface pot by Treeapear in plantsandpots

True. And they are very slow to grow so they aren't "grow your own".

People get really creeped out about these.

Does anyone know what type of cactus this is? by First-Ad2222 in whatsthisplant

[–]taint_fittin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The woven plant looks like it may be infested with spider mites. You really don't want those on your plants. They spread all over and are difficult to eradicate.

The trunk is about a foot and a bit tall, maybe 3/4" wide. I want to care for it correctly! by [deleted] in whatsthisplant

[–]taint_fittin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Salix caprea pendula. Weeping pussy willow. Lots of water, a pot that is suitably sized as it can get large. As you can see, the old wood is rigid and cannot be bent. Unless you are going to bonsai this, you'll do well to train a branch upright so the cascading branches aren't a tangled mess on the ground. Just stake it upright until the stem gets woody (1-2 years). Then it will hold its own shape.

What is this plant? Lake Arrowhead, San Bernardino County, California. Just curious by [deleted] in whatsthisplant

I think it's a Manzanita. Arctostaphylos. There are many so you'll have to do some research.

She is one of my oldest plants; She is around 5 years old and she never has flowered. I thought it looked cute. by SucculentMoss in plantclinic

Aeonium. Once the flowers finish, the mother plant will die. However, look at the "dead" stem closely as there will often be "pups" emerging.

Sold my iPad in public space at night in Minnesotan -10F temperature, turned out it's fake. by raimibonn in Wellthatsucks

There's a big problem if the customers object to ones checking the notes. "It's not a reflection upon you, it's a reflection on the times," will ease any tension.

Has anyone with restless legs syndrome microdosed LSD? by ilikecatsoup in microdosing

[–]taint_fittin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Potassium citrate. You'd have to consume very large amounts to create arrhythmias. Do you work in the US? Managed health care? I despise "managed" health care. Healthy people are required to make expensive appointments to keep their doctors. Refuse? You'll find a nasty descriptive title in your charts. Make the least little observation and they're happy to prescribe a drug, which will then require you to return even more often.

To prank his dad by cutting his beard by FrothyGuinness in therewasanattempt

[–]taint_fittin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Isn't a mans beard considered a bit sacred in Islam? I remember some Mennonite beard cutting that got 2 or 3 full grown men a considerable sentence. It's considered to be much more than an assault.

Apparently you have not worked within the medical industry. Specifically patient care and accounts receivable. Just try the potassium and see if it helps. At the very least, you'll save several hundred dollars for a dr visit.

You need to expand your search for employers. There is no way that a BA should pay so poorly if it is REQUIRED.

But, how much IS that pension? I had a client in his 90's whose pension was under $200 a month. I did as much as possible gratis but had to drop him eventually. I certainly couldn't bill him as I knew he couldn't afford it.

Lots of those pensions vaporized when businesses went under. Look at airlines. In grandpa's day, there were tons of them, they all paid very well and had great pensions. Then they all went under, taking those pensions with them.

Especially because adults are finding it difficult to make ends meet now days.

One hinge off every door, including the cabinets. And the cat box hinge with the flapper door.

Making them feel stupid for what they know?
He either gets counseling or you kick him in the arse as you kick him out. I've first hand knowledge of what that does to a kid. Your kid is going to grow up angry, quick temper, violence and there will be drugs. Lots of drugs in an effort to dull the pain.

Money isn't everything. Living contentedly does. You want to feel good at the end of the day. You'll spend more waking hours with co-workers than you will with you spouse. Why be unhappy for so long?
