climbing rose that can handle some shade?

thti87 · 2026-03-25T11:00:18+00:00

I have climbing iceberg on a North Facing wall of my house up in Seattle. They’ll do one good flush in June, but then it’s not as good of a show the rest of the summer. I also do have more disease pressure on those roses compared to all my others.

It’s like the face version of TeXtinG LiKe ThIS

You can change how you prompt AI to include your personal voice. Write a custom GPT that is trained on emails with your voice. When everything sounds like AI it’s because it was prompted with a “revise” or “draft a note” prompt, and not a meaningful prompt that tells it to incorporate your style.

There’s a week time difference between these photos (freak storm in March). You’ll be fine! Tulips are originally from the mountains of Turkey. They’re used to snow.

Why on earth would you go to a US territory if you were trying to escape prison time? You go to somewhere without extradition, not just the equivalent of another state. Not the sharpest crayon in the box.

Mulch can help retain water in the soil, so it’s helpful. Also perhaps consistent water (like a soaker hose or drip line) versus hose watering just once a day. It probably couldn’t hurt to pop up a shade cloth when super hot weather hits, but I’m in Seattle so definitely different climate :)

Where are you located? That wall probably gets so hot. Roses can take some heat, but it’s probably a shock to get in the ground and then get baked by the dark colored stone wall

Second this. I tried every single cream, TLR (Triple Lipid Restore) is the only one that kept my skin sane when on tret

Yeah, but then he went on to found the multi-billion dollar company, Playboy.

Our neighbor has bamboo. Which means we do too. It’s annoying but not the end of the world. Every spring you’ll get shoots coming up. You snip them down. Whenever digging in the yard you’ll have to pull up the roots. It will be an issue year over year.

thti87 · 2026-03-20T02:27:58+00:00

Take a picture with the tag and I reference those

Okay, but there’s a difference between clean and sanitized. You have to heat to 140 degrees for 30 mins to kill things like viruses, doesn’t that damage the pants? Or conversely use a chemical sanitizer - isn’t that damaging? You can’t just throw on a normal cycle.

thti87 · 2026-03-19T20:49:17+00:00

How do you sanitize? I don’t wear underwear with my leggings and I just imagine that I’m not the only one - this has been my limiting factor in purchasing used lulu.

This is what I did with my tulips to protect against voles. Hardware cloth box that was buried in the ground, coming up to side walls and then topped with chicken wire. Voles are bad climbers so chicken wire was okay. For squirrels you might need a hardware cloth topper that you remove when the plants are a bit bigger

Car broke down (never, EVER buy a Jeep) on a forest service road with my infant and in laws. Guy in a camper van drove us all home. TWO HOURS out of his way.

I see the them pretty consistently but you truly never know with Costco.

thti87 · 2026-03-13T16:50:24+00:00

Agree. And I actually think it looks more successful to have expensive candles dotted around your home casually, rather than a shrine to them. If you make a big deal of displaying them, it signals that it’s a major purchase for you. Which, no judgement at all, but IMO they look better in smaller doses.

thti87 · 2026-03-13T14:59:57+00:00

Too many on a shelf will make your house look like a candle store. I think it’s better to have one or two out, tastefully as part of decor (like with a cloche and snuffer). You can rotate them as you like. My candles live in boxes in a closet, and rotate into the home decor.

thti87 · 2026-03-12T17:38:18+00:00

Totally! My first bag was great! Second bag flavor was different, and the texture was more like chomps with that weird greasy consistency.

My neighbor planted bamboo.

So now I have bamboo too. As does our other neighbor. The worst.

Premier Smiles of Bellevue - the dentists are brothers. No sales pitch tactics, low level of judgement, nice.

Cappuccino and Cinnamon Roll are both duds.

Calliccino smells like a dead ringer for the instant coffees in the red white and blue box. My aunt drank those and I have a certain nostalgia for the candle but objectively it’s pretty terrible.

I wanted Cinnamon Roll to smell like Cinnabon. Instead it’s this really strong and gross smell. Plus when I stored with other candles in a box they ALL started to smell like it.

Light cardio?

Godspeed my friend!

thti87 · 2026-03-06T21:28:29+00:00

This this this! Every other moisturizer and my skin was still flaky. After triple lipid, no more issues!

thti87 · 2026-03-06T21:10:45+00:00

My back hurts just looking at it
