Everything about this is amazing. The spooning. The multitude of curled feetsies. The pudgy belly with the black tail curl on top. 10/10

She is precious! Please tell me more about Moosie. What are her favorite types of pats? (Please give her one from me.) How old is she? How far does she run at a time? What’s her personality like?

Yeah, don’t tell us what to do!

When my vitamin D levels were tested low, the doc told me to take 2,000 IBU daily.

~7000/day seems quite high to me. But I’m not a doctor.

I would consider if the cost of purchasing all this vitamin D - a lot of of which your body may be excreting rather than absorbing - is a worthwhile financial investment in your health. I don’t know anything about you, maybe it is.

This reads like a Rimworld post.

I don’t think there’s a Rimworld community on Lemmy and I’m not going on Reddit anymore so I’ll just throw this comment into the void and hope some fans are out there. 👋

Also in Rimworld terms the answer is corn (if monoculture) and send everyone to harvest at the first sign of blight.

But in both Rimworld and real life, a monoculture strategy isn’t sustainable. Diversifying via multiple food sources reduces your risk of disaster leading to starvation.

Cool story, Miss Issippi.

Soup is just liquid salad.

Fight me.

I agree. I was in college at 19 and I would not have been able to grow as a person in the same way, if I had been dating a 25 year old at the time. You’re just at different stages of life at this point.

I’m not saying it’s impossible for this to work out well for some people. Clearly in the comments here it has, and I have friends with a greater age difference who are now happily married.

But in general, no I don’t think this is a good idea. If it was the same age gap but meeting later in life, no big deal. But a 19 year old is at a very different point in life than a 25 year old and she needs to be able to grow on her own outside of a relationship with an older person.

Speaking of Alibaba: Tianyu Gems is a quality dealer of moissanite. I originally got the recommendation on Reddit from someone who had ordered multiple stones. We used them for the moissanite in my engagement ring.

The larger stones are obviously jewelry grade but they have some cheaper bulk options too.
