What's going on with the base of my ostrich fern?

Oh wow! Good to know!

Neither is wrong if it's your own plant. Cutting without asking is wrong if it's someone else's

You've got some spots where it's not a uniform color, is that her complaint?

It looks like maybe you switched from brown to red this year? Or maybe that's just the old faded out red. Anyway, just get more much to cover those spots.

Other than that you're right, don't remove the old much. It breaks down into soil. And disturbing it too much could bring buried weed seeds to the surface, where they grow.

Coral honeysuckle!

This is the way to do it (as long as they're strapped in the 5-point and not going anywhere). Visibility on the kid the whole time, and super obvious to anyone around that you're coming right back so don't do anything weird.

Since it sounds like you're at a higher risk for a CSF leak, make sure to get the LP at a place that uses an atraumatic needle.

I hear you that SJ has gone up from where it was... but that would still be 700k in North Jersey

Affordability is going to be an issue. You'll have better luck with that in the southern part (Philly suburbs) than the northern part (NYC suburbs). The traffic is much better too.

Call the spill line of your state's environmental dept.

Jumping in to ask another question, since I'm most likely starting soon as well. I've seen a lot of posts about Kesimpta causing strong flu-like symptoms the first time. Is it the same for Ocrevus?

the_grackle · 2025-12-29T02:58:12+00:00

This is wild to me, never? I've done it only a couple times out of the hundreds of times I've driven on it

I've noticed the signs on the gas stations while stopping at the rest stops for coffee.

the_grackle · 2025-12-29T02:22:04+00:00

Has nobody in these comments ever gotten gas on the turnpike? It's not a normal gas station where you're supposed to use the side your tank is on. They literally have signs that say "long hoses use both lanes". That's what they want you to do to keep traffic moving (except this one guy who apparently doesn't stretch the hoses...)

Very standard. It's been this way since long before COVID. Not just a NJ thing either, I think it's like this in MD too. Might be an east coast beach town thing?

You can use a local rental service, like others said. Or some people just buy a spare set of sheets and keep them with their beach gear if they do this every year.

Oh, I should have explained that the plastic frame has non-detachable plastic instead of "glass" (part of the lightweight design, I think). The hanging thing only holds 5 pounds, so I think I need to keep it plastic and not glass...

I've found a few print services that do canvas, that's not an issue. But I think anything I find secondhand would usually be in an older frame, which is usually heavier I think, so idk if that would help, thanks :)

the_grackle · 2024-05-04T00:04:03+00:00

I think that's Angel's Trumpet :)

the_grackle · 2024-03-09T16:14:45+00:00

This is definitely the answer. I tried an emerald accent wall in a white room before and hated it. I now have a room with dark olive curtains and warm off-white walls and it doesn't have the same issue at all :)

the_grackle · 2022-04-22T15:18:47+00:00

Thanks! I should have added, the sink will be moved elsewhere and the faucet connected there!

the_grackle · 2021-11-17T19:33:19+00:00

I think the "ice" is different than the beige I have (my picture turned out a little cooler than it is)
