Thanks. The point here about knits fabrics really clarifying.

I think so. I'd be disappointed, and I'd worry about practicalities, but I've had a lot of circumstances that have caused me to think about my existence and my impermanence/mortality so I feel like I've had plenty of space to work through most of the feelings and questions around that. Everything dies, it's cool. I'm just grateful about getting to exist for a second.

Thanks. This is exactly the kind of tip i was looking for.

How much do you typically use?

Same! I have also had hard water at various times in my life but never had this problem. Stumped lol

Hey there, just want to gently say that someone older than you in your family should be getting support from their own friends/people their age. They go to nieces/nephews/younger adults and kids for emotional support because they want to extract validation that's not fair to you. And if he seems fixated on you and demands you text him a lot that is controlling and inappropriate at best, potentially creepy at worst. He is grown, he does not need you and should not be expecting so much from a younger relation, even if you're an adult. You should be spending your emotional energy on your own life. I played this game with various aunts and my parents and my parents' friends for years and it took me a while to realize how fucked up certain things were. His problems are not your problems, your life and your time belong to you, you never have to reply to anyone ever, he is old enough to manage upset feelings without you.

I decided to get a norfolk pine. Not quite a berry bush or a flowering shrub, but still a little tree known to be happy indoors that gets decently big and looks a little bit like the outdoor plants in my region. :).

Good to know. That is one of the most interesting looking trees i've seen in a while. I hope you post updates about it.

Those trees are wild looking. Hadn't heard of those before. I hope it blooms for you! Any idea whether or not they're toxic to pets?

It looks like those (and unfortunately most of the common indoor fruits) are incompatible with pets. Appreciate the suggestion though

Thanks!

Thought about this, but another book of a similar age has tape like this on it and it unfortunately turned yellow and opaque and covered up what was underneath. It's old tape so maybe modern tape doesn't do that? But I'm not sure how to be certain.
