My peace lilies used to get those crispy brown tips no matter what I did. I started filling up a big plastic jug from the tap and letting it sit out for a full 24 hours before watering. It lets some of the chlorine gas off, I guess. The difference was huge, the new leaves came in totally green. I still do it, it's just part of my routine now.

But a castle is just a fortified home, right? So a Roman fort is basically the same idea. They both give off that strong, safe vibe to me.

Wow, @perez.derek, that reminds me of when I finally switched from hand-mixing paint...

What changed my mind was trying ketchup on hash browns first.

Oh wow, okay, so we're just calling all our trauma "character building" now. I guess my sleep paralysis demon is actually my life coach. Next time I'm jolted awake at 3 a.m., I'll just thank it for the personal growth opportunity. This feels like the kind of thing people say after they've already made it through the bad part.
