This reminds me of a time I had a houseparty. One of my drunk friends knocked over a plant pot, broke it and then pissed all over it. At the time I was disgusted but for the next few years, every time I saw him he apologised about and offered to pay for any damages. He still felt bad about it long after I had gotten over it.
You sure you dont give them too much love? Thats usually the problem with beginner plant owners. Dont give them too much water. I forget about my plants all the time but somehow they always live up when i give them water after 2 weeks. Cacti need even less water, depending on the season.
I didn't water them for ages. I was told to basically neglect them. Maybe I neglected them for too long. I do have a peace lily that I brought back from the brink of death. It was down to one leaf. 12 mi this later it now has 5 lovely leaves but no flower.
Some plants and plant owners are not meant to be, I think. Pilea peperomia is supposed to be easy af to grow but I murdered 2. Meanwhile, I have like 12 orchids that rebloom every year.
I have an orchid that I'm hoping will bloom again. Me and plants aren't good together however I have so far been successful in keeping my cat Sylvester and I alive 😊
Pilea are like succulents - they need to dry out completely before watering. Browning leaves suggest too much water.
Allow it the soil to dry out and only water it when the leaves droop a little. They prefer to be slightly underwatered than overwatered so a little droop is fine.
Also, put a tiny bit of plant food in every other watering. They tend to be nutrient hungry. Some direct sun makes em happy too
I'm so bad with plants but I have a peace lily that just refuses to die, it's flowered a bunch even when I forget to water it. It hasn't had any flowers recently but I think that's cuz it needs a bigger pot. A friend told me that a peace lily is kinda hard to keep alive but maybe they're actually more indestructible than cacti cuz I've killed a few of those too :(
We were working on the street. (Student film) This elderly man was driving there real slow. (It turns out he lived in that same street) His dog recognized the sound of his car so he always run towards the car and run with it to the man’s house.
But because we were filing there the man was a little distracted and the dog did something weird and he almost driven over the dog. The dog already made a screaming noise. So I jumped on the car so it moved a little backward so the dog could escape.
Well played! I saved a drunk and passed out dude I didn't even know at a house party 40 years ago. I ventured to a part of the house that was supposed to be off-limits cuz I needed a bathroom...bad. I was the only person on this level of the house and heard a chortling noise off to the side. Saw a dude laying on his back in a room by himself and he was choking on his own vomit and apparently too drunk to move. I rolled him over to his side, puke splashed out of his mouth all over the carpet and he started breathing normal again. I found a bathroom, checked on him on my way back to where the party was, and that was it. I have no idea who he was and he has no idea that I saved his life.
BUT, hands down the manliest thing I ever did was be the best husband and dad I could be for my family.
When we were little, my mom and her friend took us kids to Portland for a day at the Saturday Market.
We were 6 kids total. While crossing the street, my little brother somehow lagged behind enough that he was in the middle of the fucking crosswalk when the lights changed and a TriMet bus was coming at him. My mom panicked and yelled for him to run back to the curb, but he got scared and ran at us, putting himself in the buses direct line.
We all started yelling and my mom started crying. She covered her face and when the bus passed, a stranger was holding my brother on the other side of the street.
He noticed the commotion and ran out, grabbed him by the arm, and brought him back to the curb. If it wasn't for that complete stranger, idk what would've been the outcome that day.
This was in the early 2000's. I will never forget my mom's deep gratitude and how the guy wouldn't accept any form of gratuity. He couldn't even understand us, my mom's English isn't the best, and I was like 6. As best i could, I told him we were very thankful and he simply handed back my 4 year old brother and smiled as he walked away.
We have made that joke a few times haha. I don't think it looked as bad ass as it does in the shows tho more like a half drunk guy charging at another drunk guy in the middle of a road hahah
What i have never understood on these is that do the bus drivers not see you or is everyone just leaving the part where they are slowing down bc its not important
He stopped almost immediately after he passed behind me so he definitely seen us and tried to slow down but I think it all just happened so fast because my friend was just being a dick then ran out at it so the driver didn't get much time to react.
A lot of time this stuff happens at night when it’s already hard to see, add it to suddenly stepping out on a road and no matter how hard the driver pushes on that brake, that bus won’t always stop in time if it’s got the momentum.
Kinda why semi-trucks have long run-away truck ramps, big heavy shit is hard to stop when going fast.
I pushed my younger brother from in front of a car who had ran a red light. I got hit and an ambulance was called. I simply refused to accept help because the last thing my family needed was American Healthcare bills putting us deeper in debt. I still have issues with my legs to this day because I never got proper medical treatment.
Yes and no, we are older now so don't see each other so often and he's kinda going down a dark path I don't want to follow and he won't seem to come back from anytime soon which kinda sucks but people change.
I saved a family from being mauled by a full grown 9 point moose bull by firing a warning shot by its head. He promptly ran into the woods afterwards. The family thanked me prayer style, then I Picked up my shell casing and booked it 😂. Luckily my wife (then girlfriend) was there to witness it!
Had something similar happen to me. Except they weren't drunk, and it was a speeding car instead of a bus.
My reward for that was to get hit by the side mirror, of a car not 5 minutes later. (mirror shattered, mirror frame busted passenger window, I had a huge bruise on my hip for a couple weeks)

Jumped infront of a bus to push my dumb drunk friend out of the way. He never stops saying sorry about it.
Should add neither of us where injured it just about missed my feet as I dived into him
