Beautiful! I love the nemophilia

I think that’s a great idea.

What I do is try to time it just right, deadhead until the blooming period starts to wrap up and then let the rest go to seed. It’s hard to do!

Same! And then it even started the same way. I was already laughing at a good prank

Thank you yes that’s exactly what happened. Sorry it’s been so long. Let’s have another friendly woodworking contest! Then we can replace the spooky coffin 😁

Hey I’m the moderator and yes that’s exactly what happened. It was an “autumn theme” woodworking contest. I was just thinking that it would be great to do another contest. Would you like to pick a theme? Could be something like “make a tissue box” or “make something Christmas themed”.

Maybe it’s not surprising but as an X-ray tech we wear a badge that records our radiation exposure. Every quarter it gets read and if our exposure is too high I can’t work anymore. Maybe for the rest of the year, maybe forever. I’ve never heard of that actually happening though.

Amazing! I only just learned about the bird at a highway rest stop in Oregon. I had asked a woman how she was and where she was headed. They were on their way to a wildlife refuge and their dream was to spot this very bird. I wonder if she ever saw it? I think she would be happy that you did

I like this story. I hope the nice bat is flying around now chomping mosquitoes

I’m speechless. I have no speech. How on earth can a person wake up in the morning and have a thought like this.

Subsistence farming is a terrible way to live

Ma’am are you okay?

I live in a major city but like I’m in a bad neighborhood so there’s only one grocery store within 5 miles. It makes no sense. A food desert in a major city so that I’m forced to drive just to like get screws from a hardware store or toilet paper or something

I want to stop ruminating about things I wish I would have said or some stupid thing I did say or why did I do that

For reference, this is Brawny paper towels where the sheets are perforated the other direction, allowing you to actually tear a half sheet. This is what “select a size” should mean.

Haven’t visited Reddit since I came here last summer. I love it here. It’s not perfect, but it’s ours

Keep trying though

3/4” of fir will be plenty strong enough that it won’t break . I have a stool made of 3/4” cedar and that’s close enough. I think yes plant pots could leave small marks though that’s true. Really you can’t go wrong with red oak. It’s strong and cheap and you can even stain it. I say Doug fir will work but you might as well go for red oak. Will last forever.

I made my computer desk from pine and you can see letters on it from where I’ve written. Yaa go for hardwood

When a person tells you that a loved one has passed, ask what the their name was and say it back. It can be awkward when that comes up and you might not know how to respond best. I’ve found that most people don’t want you to feel bad for them, but them saying their name and having a chance to talk about them is often a nice thing.

I’m in healthcare so death comes up a lot. “David. That’s a nice name. Where was he from?”

It’s so adorable! Wow the baby has the same markings as the adult! I think that’s uncommon for birds, right?
