This is how I water them at home.
Put plant in sink. Soak with water. Allow to drain. Use draining as an excuse not to do dishes. Get irritated with myself for not putting the plant back as I catch myself needing to drain the pasta I’m cooking for dinner so I shuffle shit around while almost burning myself. Put plant back.
I’ve had bad experiences with melatonin, but now I find it can be helpful in smaller doses. I cycle through a bedtime thc/CBD/melatonin sleep aid (Wonder Wellness Sleep), L-theanine, and melatonin, only taking one for tops a week at a time. That rotation seems to help.
I remember some years back on Reddit, a med student was kicking himself because he noticed how sweet his gf was when he went down on her, but didn’t make the association until after her symptoms/diagnosis.
I appreciate that description. This is the kind of shit that comes to mind every time I hear someone claim “you should consume ________ to boost your immune system!” Like, if we could so easily increase it’s activity, this is the shit we’d be setting ourselves up for.
This was the first thing I thought of, but couldn’t remember the artists name - thank you!
Flashbacks to that fucking Netflix documentary, Don’t Fuck with Cats.
Fuck.
Video, pause, screenshot?
Richard Simmons, Dr Ruth, and Shelly Duvall make this death trifecta. That other goon didn’t qualify to be associated with the wholesomeness and entertainment those three good people brought to the world.
This is actually closest to the best thing lol.
Our bodies are meant to move, not sit statically even with “perfect” posture. By fidgeting, slouching, sitting tall, leaning, and all kinds of variations we’re responding to feedback from our bodies. Keep listening and keep moving!
But they heard the word once and it sounds sciency, so they keep repeating it.
This is my retirement plan. When the time comes, I’ll hide in the vast caves and eat cheese the rest of my existence.
Not sure of the ages of your children, but as a 52yo who grew up in the States, I averaged 2-3 hours of homework a night in grade school. They’d tell us “oh, it’s only about 15-20 minutes per class” which doesn’t sound terrible, except that it was more like 20-30 minutes of work x 4-6 classes. By 7th grade I burned out and realized that the world didn’t end if I started skipping homework, and my test grades remained about the same. I just had to live with the stifling anxiety over getting in trouble for not getting my homework done.
Thankfully by the time my kids came along schools started pulling back on the volumes of unnecessary homework. I also never pressured them to get every assignment done, but instead asked them if they understood what they were doing. As adults having completed further educational programs, they did just fine. I’m glad that as time goes on, kids are getting more of a chance to be kids.
You know how many smokers have/had their hard line on what price would make them quit smoking? For me (a 52yo woman) that was when pop breached $5.99 a 24 pack case. I would buy it again occasionally if sale prices dipped into that range, but having crossed that line it broke my habit. The thought of $7 for a 12 pack is just painful.
Yet the price is in euros…
Point being, the US is fucked but we don’t have the monopoly on it.
Let’s reframe this a moment -
Wealthy person 1 “you ever go hungry?”
Wealthy person 2 “no, not at all”
Wealthy person 1 “I have no idea what that poor person was complaining about.”
I’m in a southern Chicago suburb. Yesterday it was over 70 degrees, last night we had hail and tornadoes, then I wake up to snow flurries. There are trees and plants doing things they shouldn’t for weeks and I suspect my spring allergies are already starting.
While part of me is embracing the “milder” days, it’s also a bit unnerving.
Definitely different handwritings going on. My guess is someone fucking around with a younger siblings homework.
One of my favorite movies growing up! I showed it to my kids when they were about the same age and scared the shit out of them lol.
For marketability, it’s horrendous. While I’m open to dramatic, unique, and off the wall stuff it’s still not my taste.
BUT! I would absolutely take advantage of the discount I’d get on the property after it’s spent over a year on the market. I also wouldn’t be in a rush to remodel, but would look for ways to highlight it till the novelty wore off.
The outside of the kernel is very fibrous, so when chewing it’s less about breaking down the outside and more like popping the insides out of its skin. We need all kinds of fiber in our diets, so the outside of the corn kernels passing through is just fine.
