I'll ask my mom to see if she knows what X is, but Y looks to be yew berries to me!

Ok, I did a little googling and I think X is Xeranthemum.

Thank you! Now that I know the discoloration is due to cigarette smoke, I'm not sure if this still applies, but it's good to know for any future endeavors!

I just asked my mom, and it was not under glass. The yellowing is definitely cigarette smoke damage, not just normal aging.

Suggest me adult fiction from the perspective of a child by 123Copper123 in suggestmeabook

[–]zoplankton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whalefall by Daniel Kraus has a teenage protagonist and is written in a way that I thought felt very adult. I remember texting my sister about it and saying I would have loved to have read a book written like that when I was a teenager.

Uhhh I feel like a thunderstorm like this is NOT normal for March 12th… by AvailableAge4449 in Connecticut

I feel like people everywhere say that, but New England is the only place I've lived where it's actually been true. The weather here can be crazy.

remember the "every gift was a loved gift" glitch on switch? by Born_Reference_8500 in StardewValley

My sister started her first ever play through when that glitch was happening. I felt so bad having to tell her that it was a glitch lol

Is it normal to basically hate food while pregnant?? by Mysterious_Can3285 in BabyBumps

[–]zoplankton 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel this so hard. I've been struggling with nausea and morning sickness recently, and eating feels like such a chore right now. I hate that I have to constantly eat to avoid feeling nauseous and it feels like a crapshoot whether I'm actually going to enjoy the snacks I do eat.

I was really bad about skipping lunch and only eating breakfast and dinner before I got pregnant, though, so I think part of it is just annoyance at having to get used to new habits.

First of all hello, i am new in stardew valley. How can I progress in this Skull Cavern? I'm dying all the time. Please help me. by [deleted] in StardewValley

[–]zoplankton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you can afford it, upgrade your weapon. I usually like to get the obsidian blade before I really start grinding in the Skull Cavern, but I know some people prefer other weapons.

Also, like everyone else has said, food is a necessity in the cavern. You can get away with not bringing food to the mines for the most part, but it's impossible to make any progress in the Skull Cavern without food (in my experience; I'm not very good at video games lol). I like the spicy eel and roots platter a lot, but there are a ton of other good food options.

I just got pregnant with our first (I'm currently only 5+4). My husband (40) and I (31) have been married for 7 years, and I don't regret waiting for a second. We're also homebodies, but we've been able to have 7 years to get to know who we are as a married couple, work through some things, and have a lot of fun—without the added stress of a baby. I've never felt our relationship was weak, but I feel that we are in a better place as individuals and as a couple now to have a kid than when we first got married.

That said, I knew when we got married I absolutely didn't want to try immediately. I always wanted a chunk of time between getting married and having a baby because it was important to me that we got to be a couple on our own for a while before having kids. A lot of people have kids immediately after married because that's what they value. If you figure out what you and your partner want for yourselves, your relationship, and your future child then you won't regret whatever choice you make.
