I decided to get a norfolk pine. Not quite a berry bush or a flowering shrub, but still a little tree known to be happy indoors that gets decently big and looks a little bit like the outdoor plants in my region. :).

Good to know. That is one of the most interesting looking trees i’ve seen in a while. I hope you post updates about it.

Those trees are wild looking. Hadn’t heard of those before. I hope it blooms for you! Any idea whether or not they’re toxic to pets?

It looks like those (and unfortunately most of the common indoor fruits) are incompatible with pets. Appreciate the suggestion though

Thanks!

Thought about this, but another book of a similar age has tape like this on it and it unfortunately turned yellow and opaque and covered up what was underneath. It’s old tape so maybe modern tape doesn’t do that? But I’m not sure how to be certain.

Nice. Where do you get the leather?

Yes! Exactly that. Thank you for the word.

I’m so sorry this is happening to you. Don’t let him use alcohol as an excuse for pushing your boundaries. If this is how he’s acting around your family at a holiday, how will he act when you’re alone? Somebody worthy of you would never do this. You deserve someone who can drink without disrespecting your body and your birthday.

Regulation. People will always adapt, but imo this is firmly a policy and governance issue.
