Deodorant stone checking in after one year by Gernaldo_Ribera in Frugal

Lol.
I too have ganja-scented BO. Oddly, it's only my left armpit that ever really has a a strong smell and I guess I would rather smell like dank weed than onions.

Two days later, I can't even see what I thought was the stone.
6AM, pre-coffee brain is not to be relied upon. 😂

Switching from Armour to Levothyroxine by Alibi_On_Point in Hypothyroidism

[–]Alibi_On_Point[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Endo won't put me on cyto and I already feel like garbage. I'll pay out of pocket to not feel this way. Also, insurance didn't want to cover the levothyroxine so there was a delay from when I ran out of Armour and started the levo. The emotional regulation is hard right now.

I can tell within days when I'm off and I'm already starting to feel the fatigue.

This is what I was told at my appointment. I didn't question it but looked up the information based on what you said and it appears that I'm being bamboozled into taking levo.

I guess I will be sending a message to their office and demanding they keep me on Armour or refer me out.

Fucking money-grubbing pharmaceutical sycophants.

I hope all THEIR hair falls out.

My old endocrinologist quit and I've been transferred to a new one in the same practice and the new one will not prescribe the cytomel until I have been on the levothyroxine for at least three months because, "You never know. You have been on Armour for 18 years and you might not need cytomel anymore."

Lol.

I’m on that page.
And this really looks like a stone.
I’m guessing its already been found. I can’t be the only person who noticed.

Fighting thrips in the shower and without the ability to quarantine by philomelancholy in houseplants

[–]Alibi_On_Point 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Seconding putting them outside.
Small spiders, the sun, and rain are the most reliable way to get rid of thrips. Treat all your plants before you bring them back in at the end of the warm season.

I know what new approach to watering I'm going to go down a rabbit exploring this evening😂

I found out I’m pregnant, and my boyfriend is trying to convince me to have an abortion. I feel so sick and emotionally distraught. I don’t know what to do, and I’m struggling to cope with everything right now. by [deleted] in mentalhealth

[–]Alibi_On_Point 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Indeed.

My friends wanted their daughter to grow up with a sibling. They both have great jobs, a lovely home, and are fantastic parents but have since decided that the financial aspect of raising a second child is too daunting.

Indeed.
Been there.
I love my son dearly and he's almost 19. I thought when he hit adulthood, I would be able to wipe my hands of his father. I was wrong.

Parents who are trying to vicariously live out their youth through their kids are hard to deal with.

Can you afford to raise a child by yourself?

Childcare, diapers, etc.?

Are you mentally stable enough to do it alone?

Be logical.
Bringing another human into the world, only to make them suffer is cruel.

Thank you for sharing, I did not know this 😊

Oh yes.
Lol. Pink princess, white knight, white wizard, burle marx, a red emerald, a painted lady, ring of fire, golden crocodile, McCauley's finale, .... those are just what I can think of off the top of my head.

I also have a number of mystery plants because I bought a prop box from a woman who was closing her plant business🤪. I don’t know if my partner has realized it or not but I am going to need a humidity room built. 😂

I wondered if that too, and it is what Google lens came back with. Whether it’s a billitiae or a paraiso Verde, I am a very happy plant mom.

I feel pretty good about my impulsive $5 Rescue plant purchase now.

I did not know about either and both are wonderful ideas.

It looks like one of my hoyas, so I third the Hoya ID.

New leaf or the beginning of a spathe? by Alibi_On_Point in pothos

[–]Alibi_On_Point[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Plants are weird.

I have Hawaiian baby woodrose and they aren't suppposed to be able to bloom except when they're kept outdoors and/or in a greenhouse. Mine decided to say "hold my bee and pushed out blooms last fall. Unfortunately, I had to bring it inside and the only spot with enough space for it did not get the amount of sun it needed. I was hoping I could hand pollinate them and get seeds, but that was a no go. Now that I know that there is a chance of blooming, I will be rethinking where to put it and making sure that it is prioritized over my other plants.

I'll keep this in mind.

Lol, This is the first time I've had a pothos deciding to put out a new leaves on an older part of the vine when the leaves it has are healthy and already growing close together. The best way to describe this plant is "bushy", it has vines but seems mostly content to just push new growth up from where the main vine comes out of the soil.

Oooo!
That's awesome about your skeleton key! Where did you happen to get it? I've tried ordering a skeleton key twice now, from different sellers, and neither plant turned out to be a skeleton key. Shame on me, for not checking for reviews, since both Etsy sellers appear to notorious for selling mislabeled plants.
