I just recently moved it to this south facing windows. I open the blinds in the morning and close it at night when the sun has already fully set. All of my other leaves are doing fine but I noticed a bit of discoloration on this one that’s unfurling. I water it about once every week and a half or really when the soil is looking dry at the top. Is this normal? Also this is the best I can do in a dorm room unfortunately.
i’ve been away for college and her snake plant was literally like 4 inches tall and now its humongous.
Edit: it has come to my attention that this is not a snake plant (honest mistake my mom has both) so please no more comments 😭
Hi I saw this TikTok of a super cool project this girl made. I wanted to know how much of my dedicated time would it take for me to learn how to code for projects like these and if classes for them would be available at the average college. I’m super interested in learning just for the fun of it too but having a project to build up to it makes it sound more fun. All replies are greatly appreciated.
I’m away for college and my mom is unfortunately too booked up with clients today to drop it off at any rescue center (they’re not even picking up calls!) in the meantime I told her to just give it some veggies and water but I honestly don’t know how to care for a turtle :( I’m assuming someone just dumped it on the side of the highway too because there’s no water habitat nearby the highway for a turtle to wander. I also know some are terrestrial but I just find it very unlikely for a turtle to show up on the highway my mom was on. My mom think it’s injured but based off of the pictures I can’t really tell. Please help!
I've seen a fair share of those altoid tin snack boxes and I understand the hate on them but this one girl in particular who has gained a lot of popularity in the past couple of months. Her name is Charlie (@Charlierewilding) she has an actual box with smaller containers inside that she fills up with snacks for the whole day. Everyone in her comments are crazy they say things like "feeling greedy today aren't we". I feel like the internet has completely taken snacking to a whole other level especially with the rise in mukbangs. A snack is supposed to be small and in between meals no? And it seems like this girl Charlie is eating big meals so obviously her snacks won't be as big. Sometimes I really only feel peckish like that and I for sure do not have a eating disorder. I feel like people on tik tok are so quick to judge these days. LIke this box with multiple little snacks seems so much better than 4 almonds in an altoid tin.
Hi on my college campus we have many many friendly squirrels. They come up to people often and i’ve started carrying peanuts with me. I saw another post on here basically saying peanuts are bad for squirrels. I buy my peanuts from the asian store the ones that are just loose out of the shell, unroasted and unsalted. They mentioned in their post that sometimes peanuts can cause seizures and other conditions and kill the squirrels and I really don’t want to kill any of the squirrels on campus :(. I also have raw unsalted almonds. In general what is the best thing to give to these squirrels just as a treat. I don’t feed them in mass because I don’t want to interfere with growing their population so much. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
I’ve been dating my boyfriend for about 6 months. When we first started dating, my mom set one rule that I had to ask before he stayed over. I’ve respected that and ask pretty much every time, unless it’s already kind of implied.
The issue is that I feel like she’s been nitpicking him since the beginning. For example, one of the first times he stayed over, he accidentally left pee on the toilet seat. I usually do a quick check of the house before I leave, but I hadn’t done it yet. She got really mad and started calling him lazy and a slob. He told me he was really tired and rushing to work that morning and apologized, but didn’t say it directly to her since he wouldn’t see her for a while. I told her I thought she was overreacting since it was a one-time thing.
Another time, he threw away a candy wrapper near the front door where the recycling is, probably thinking it was trash. She got upset again and said similar things about him. (btw the candy wrapper was inside with the rest of the recycling trash so she literally dug through it for some reason)
More recently, she’s been referring to him as “this guy” (in our language), even when he’s on the phone with me, because she says she doesn’t want to say his name in front of other people.
Today, she asked where the guest parking permit was, so I called him to ask. While he was explaining it, she kept talking over him saying stuff like “this guy is so sloppy” and complaining about where he left it. I literally couldn’t hear him because she wouldn’t stop talking, and he ended up having to hang up because he was at work.
I got frustrated and told her I didn’t understand why she was being rude, calling him “this guy,” and talking over him when I was trying to listen. She ignored that and instead went off on me saying I was disrespectful and that I always choose guys over her.
That really bothered me because I don’t feel like I was blindly defending him, I was just frustrated with how she was acting in that moment.
AITA?
EDIT: I just wanted to reiterate that the sweep I do through my house is for ME. My boyfriend is grown enough to check up after himself. I have many hobbies, my mom’s condo is essentially an art studio ,me and her both share love for the arts and it’s our business. So for the weekends I am home from college I work on my art and before I go back to school I do a sweep to clean up after myself.
I’d also like to mention, (which i hate to go in detail) my bf does lift up the seat before he pees and puts it back down. When she called me over at the initial situation to show me how he “peed all over the seat” it wasn’t even visible unless you lifted up the seat and it wasn’t dribbling on the floor or on the side of the toilet. I’ve been with my mom forever (she’s a single mom) and she does have clean freak tendencies (ocd runs in my family). I am just feeling upset that she’s looking for things to pin the blame on my bf.
and, the parking permit was returned before he left for work!! He just wasn’t sure where to put it because it’s not his house. My only instructions for him from me were “leave by the door”. He also hung up on me because he was at work! He didn’t know my mom was speaking over him.
And one last thing, he’s seen me throw things away in the recycling before, he just assumed it was also trash. My county is insanely strict on what goes into each bin and his county doesn’t care. I still don’t really know what goes in what because again I don’t live here full time.
