Why is my Alocasia Polly ‘special’?
  • I’m so glad you asked! That little nub did eventually grow its last leaf and eventually fell off. So I was back to full nub. So I decided dig her up because I was really curious to see what the heck was going on with the root structure.

    And man when I saw all the BABIES this mother had birthed. It was like a tiny potato harvest. I had at least 10 bulbs in the soil. So I nursed them. Some of them didn’t make it but some of them look like the big one you see here. Unfortunately it seems mother nubby is on her way out. She sprouted teeny leaf but that little leaf was very little and met its final demise by the hand of my new kitten crew. I need to dig it up again and see what brewing under ground.

    These grow incredibly slow but there is promise that mama has passed on some strong children.

    Please ignore the tape. I have some naughty diggers in this house haha.

    Ask me again in another year of there progress!

  • Became a part of a micro HOA and looking for banking options
  • This is good advice. I’m not sure I ever saw our bylaws so i will inquire with my neighbor about them. Luckily she’s a very good record keeper as well as myself so we’re high accountable people. We decided on a banks and will be setting that up this week.

    Thank you!

  • Became a part of a micro HOA and looking for banking options
  • Correct. We both have an equal vested interest in maintaining our house. I actually prefer calling it a cooperative rather than an HOA. I think I’ll do that. For better or worse, the only bullies in this cooperative are my cats. One of them is named Carol if that tells you anything.

    I recently purchased [NJ] a condo. It’s a house comprised of 2 units.( these types of 2/3 unit condos are common in NJ.) When I purchased they said, congrats you’re an HOA president! Basically the sellers have setup an LLC for our HOA for both my neighbors and I. We are both new to this so we’re looking for advice on how to get started. Right now we’re trying to find a bank to work with. First I was trying to find a local credit unions but there doesn’t seem to be ones that works with HOA accounts, at least ones that are local. Also not sure if we should have an HOA management tool for just a 2 unit condo.

    My understanding thus far is that we should build up our funds and then put some of that money in CDs and brokerage accounts, eventually. Would love bank/credit union recommendations or any other helpful resources (that’s not trying to sell us a product).

    Kamala Harris is running as the prosecutor taking on Trump
  • I’ll never forget the instant fear pitted to my stomach when they announced her veep pick. The feeling was instant and it shook me for a hot second. I brushed the feeling off right away. I think it was me having a premonition of the outcome. I have no idea but come on, Tim Kaine?

  • Pointing fingers at the wrong crowd rule
  • So he read about Doe 147 and got even more disgusted than I did? Which, yeah. I don’t blame him if that was his motive.

    That was some of the sickest shit I’ve ever read about someone with so much power and influence.

    Re: recently unsealed Epstein documents uncover who Doe 147 is (trump) and recounts some of the experiences told by the abused girls.

  • Why is my Alocasia Polly ‘special’?

    I am having a heck of a time trying to research why she is the way she is and what to do about it. She’s definitely alive. I harvested a lot of little baby seedlings in her roots (which are growing beautifully btw). I’d love if someone can help me understand why she is the way she is and what I can do to promote stem and leaf growth.

    Does anyone know the name of these type of buttons?

    I’m knitting an Andrea Mowry shawl and I love the buttons she uses for this pattern. I just don’t know the name/style of these particular buttons.
