That is, I believe, *rather* more adjacent than normal - you're... East Coast somewhere normally, aren't you?? I'm in Texas. Hell of a place for a girl from the PNW to end up...
I hope their surgery goes swimmingly, and you don't need to advocate like a mofo on their behalf!

Thank you! I'm very fortunate that they are so forgiving. Mystifying to find a plant with a commonly accepted propagation method of "chop n' plop". This was my most recent success of astonishing levels. I thought for sure I had put it in dirt for no reason. BUT I GOT A ROOT!

I got into plants recently (October?) with a random occurrence of proplifting, I now have a collection of several varieties of tradescantia... Behold my Purple Heart... (Yes, I *did* just replant them all tonight...)

I sympathize. My toddler was running, tripped, split forehead open on the fireplace. Off to the ER, 3 stitches. I now owe just shy of $2000.

I excused my weird behavior by pointing out that if the carts got much worse, one of them was going to hit my van. But really I was just offended at the cart disaster.

Carts sticking out into the lot traffic, etc. A big mess. Once, I sorted out said mess. Take them all out, sort to size, nest properly. Fellow customer, perplexed, looked at me and declared me "Customer of the Year".

And still... You get... Dumb? Lazy? Malicious? Some combination of all of the above? Mofos, putting Little Carts into Big slot, ruining the nesting, and one Big Cart rammed into the opening of the Little Slot.

At a local store, there are Big Carts and Little Carts. They don't nest with each other. There are two Big slots in the cart return, and one Little slot.

This whole thread is a great reminder. I should not, ex, post a photo of my baby, and alt text it "chubby potato", *even if I call my baby that*, because it is a baby, not a potato.

...that a few seconds of probing around revealed evidence of it. Brain was trying to tell me I was exaggerating or something. "Is it a Real Thing or am I just Forty with Two Young Kids" 😑 Why are brains?

I did something to my back like... 2 weeks? Ish? Ago? Took most of a week to get in to the doctor, problem was still there, she started feeling around the muscles in the angry area, and was immediately like WOW! (The bad wow, ofc)
It was such a relief that there was A Problem so noticeable...

Do you have interest in a chocolate zucchini cake recipe? If so, please see attached. Also: I personally prefer pecans to the walnuts the recipe recommends. Apologies for the recipe being in American.

Well, you know, didn't want to be like "yeah that time I was in the hospital for over a month" without the context of "and then everything was Fine" (people like a happy ending!)
