Indoor plant - I just bought a house, painted everything, filling spaces with furniture, but it seems I am still missing something. I think I’d like to get some plants. The ones that are “air cleaning” and don’t need a lot of work. Snake Plant (aka Mother-In Law Tongue) is on the top of my list. Please recommend another plant for me to consider (I’ll water it 1x a week, it cleans the air, easy upkeep and lives long)
An axe - with this house came a huge tree that was cut down and left in odd places in the back yard. Might also help me with cardio swinging it and breaking them up for firewood.
I usually do this every other payday or 1x a month. I got to learn that it is OK to spend $ on myself.
I have an axe. I have a chainsaw. Honestly, I think the chainsaw is less dangerous. They both are dangerous, I understand. But if you use the chainsaw carefully, I think it can be safe.
The axe always seemed to not work well unless I was swinging it harder than I could control, so that’s why I don’t like it.
For breaking up tree wood, I’d suggest a sledge hammer and wedge/splitter instead of an axe.
As for me, I am shopping around for a high end pellet grill. Maybe a Yoder.
I bought a really nice Univ of KS t-shirt this week. I live a mile from the college. So even though I’m not really into sportsball, I’m enjoying March Madness because my city is pretty electric right now. The main drag (Mass. St.) got shut down by a mob after KU beat Miami.
Other than that, just spending a mint on house stuff.
I bought a $38 bag of dino-sours imported from Canada last paycheck (they’re supposed to arrive by tomorrow).
I could also use some pet-safe plants - and by safe I mean, if one cat eats all the leaves he won’t die, and if the other cat digs the plant out of the dirt the plant won’t die. Nothing should die.
I like pothos a lot because they grow to hang down and have a nice green color, also have a couple snake plants. I have a peace lily that’s nice, although it’s a bit more high maintenance than the pothos and snake plants.
I’d also refer you to this handy dandy wikipedia page on air cleaning plants:
I also have a spider plant… that one is OK, I’m not as much a fan of its leaves. And I have a zamioculcas zamiifolia (zz) that’s decent.
Umbrella plants are pretty low maintenance. Water bamboo is good too, it can live in water, so it’s easy to know when to water it (I think money plants can too)
We drink a ton of seltzer water in my house. Finally decided to get a soda stream. I think it will pay for itself pretty quickly, and will be much more environmentally friendly.
