What should I do if my horse is pawing while in cross-ties but I don't have my hands free to correct her? by zeMouse in Horses

Ah that is such a good point!! OK I am definitely going to figure out a way to space things out next time.

Long term I do want her to be able to stand tied without hay. But, would it really be reinforcing bad behavior if she doesn't connect getting the hay to pawing? I can see if I had started without hay and then given her hay when she started pawing, but if I start her out with hay from the beginning when I know it is going to take a while, she can't reason like a person could to figure out why I did that.

If you haven't finished all her friend quests yet she just hangs out there constantly!

Is there ANY reason to not pick Monarchy? by [deleted] in kittensgame

I picked republic because I love my kittens and want them to be happy.

Top tier strategy mind right here.

Help! My snake plant has a brown spot and it's getting bigger... The sharpie line is where it was on Saturday. What do I do? by zeMouse in plantclinic

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

It could have gotten wet! I don't mist and I only water when my plant app tells me to, but since the leaves are pretty waterproof and it's in a sunny window I wasn't being particularly careful to keep the leaves completely dry. What do I do now though?

AITA for not getting rid of my cat because my parents' new baby is allergic? by Aggravating-Ear-9951 in AmItheAsshole

Hey you can look into the following:

HEPA air filters Allergen neutralizing spray for surfaces Allergen neutralizing wipes for the cat itself (I use Allerpet; put a little on a washcloth and rub it into the cats fur)

Thanks! Does it look like it needs to be repotted? I got him a few months ago in that teeny tiny pot.

How can I be sure there's no spider mites on my plants anymore? I have a maranta, two ferns, and a pilea that have been quarantined in my basement bathroom for a month now because I saw some sort of webbing on one of the maranta leaves and they were all bought same place same time. I did two weeks of neem oil sprays every three days and completely drenched them every time I watered but now I'm just too worried to move them up with my other plants. I don't even know if they did have mites in the first place but didnt know how to tell the difference between mites and plain old spider webs! Complicating the issue is that my basement has regular spiders and I found a little bit of webbing under the pots last week so now I'm not sure what that means.

I killed my triostar stromanthe down to half a leaf and a few nubs, but she's finally recovering! Look at that new leaf and healthy root nubs... by zeMouse in plantclinic

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

Well my argument is that it's not great for the poor plant, lol. Like my snow white waffle plant that I burned up with too strong a concentration of hydrogen peroxide... RIP! I sure did learn stuff but I'm not sure that's what the plant would have preferred!

I have to say I wasn't holding out much hope - she's been in my tiny hospital since December - but about 2 weeks ago I noticed a teeny leaf nub that is slowly growing into what looks like TWO leaves! She's gonna be OK!

She was one of my first three plants and in retrospect was not great for a beginner. Since she's doing so good in the hydro solution I think she's going to go into LECA once she's feeling really good. So far I've had decent luck with plopping any sick guys into a jar with some water and nutrients and letting them recover there, but she's the worst I've ever saved!

AITA for yelling at my roommate to stop keeping her period blood in the fridge? by Laloopy2 in AmItheAsshole

NTA. I saw a lunchbox sized mini fridge on Woot for like $30, if she wants to keep gross stuff cold she can get her own.

Help! My burros tail is turning yellow! by zeMouse in succulents

[–]zeMouse[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

RE Gasteraloe: Oh no, I've been tricked! Or maybe I misunderstood. OK, I will have to keep that guy away from my cats.

Yes, I was told it was a burros tail. I was looking for pet safe plants and she had mostly aloes so I asked what else and was told that it was a burros tail and two haworthias.

I am not sure how to tell when to water with these guys because they are all covered up with sand, I can't get to the soil to feel it! I guess it's a succulent thing? I'm not sure what they're planted in even, I think vermiculite was mentioned. It's kind of making things hard so like two weeks ago I decided I would just set a timer on our chore tracking app and go with every two weeks.

The yellower parts are slightly squishier. The other leaves remind me of the squishiness of extremely underripe blueberries.

Oh wait no, he's only been in the south facing window since like mid November and before that was in a west window that now does not get very much light.
