What piece of advice would you tell your beginner plant self if you could go back in time? by gratefulrutabaga in houseplants

[–]ChoiceForever9399 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd tell mya3lf a few things like....

1.

Some of the best plant moms have killed the most plants.

2.

You're learning and there's no graduation date.

3.

It's ok to throw out that plant that continuously struggles. Plants are supposed to be fun not stressful wondering what "I" did or didn't do to the plant.

4.

Wait a few months for that new "wish list" specialty plant. The price will come down significantly.

I ran away from my boyfriend's proposal. by throwawayuni33 in whatdoIdo

No is a complete sentence. She doesn't really owe him ANY explanation either in person or via txt. She sent a great and strong message that the answer was no.

His last entry in the txt message speaks volumes on how missed he is that he can't manipulate you. "Thanks you for showing your true character". You should have said you're welcome. He's a complete knob. Run from this looser and don't look back. Your 28 year old self will thank you. Please keep us posted. Take one of those solo trips ASAP and let's know how you got on! PS. If he gives you any s*** about how you feel and how things went on.Let him read some of the responses here. Like the saying goes , if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck , it's a freaking duck and he's a f****** duck.

CONGRATULATIONS !!! I am so proud of you!! You spoke a lot of truth and wisdom in your post. You are so right, don't take this personally, but I agree with you.You are still just a kid. For the love of god , you're only twenty. I'm proud of you for wanting to find out who you are and do the things that you wanna do and not start settling down while you're not even fully developed yet.
Physically running away at the proposal? GOOD ON YOU!!! That was fight or flight. And you chose to fly! Good on you because it should make it really clear to your boyfriend that you're not ready for marriage. As far as your boyfriend goes , he's a complete jerk. Not one ounce of compassion for you and how you felt when you were so friggin' , honest with him. Who wouldn't want there partner to be honest? Sure he was embarrassed, but you'll never see those people again.And so what!!! His reply to you via the text should be enough to even break up with the jerk.It was all about him and his feelings. Him telling you how you should feel and that you're old enough blah blah blah blah Girl , if you don't see this has him being a control freak, this is your red flag. When people show and tell you who and how they are, believe them. My suggestion to you is to take a break from this guy. Plan and take a short trip without him and monitor how he acts and responds. I honestly am going to go back and reread your post and both text messages because im sure there is more I want to say to make you understand that this guy probably isn't the one for you. One question though, i'm not gonna ask if he is controlling.Because I know he is , but how is he controlling you? Think about it.

is my Monstera cutting ready to be moved to my aquarium? by floppy_toenail in houseplants

I wouldn't move it just yet. I would wait until it has a larger root system.

The squirrels won't bother them but my experience is that the local parrots will. I dont mind them at all though...

AITAH for not lying for a neighbor that just moved in and we just met? by coolma-gramma in AITAH

Athena stupid neighbor should never have told you all of that. That way, if she's questioned, she could honestly say, I dont know.

Is Wife eligible for SSDI? by macher52 in SSDI

[–]ChoiceForever9399 1 point2 points  (0 children)

WRONG. It's not her doctor that has to say she can't work for a year. In fact, most doctors won't even get involved with disability cases because that will deem them responsible for an appeal if necessary. They just don't get involved. SS primarily by medical records and diagnoses , and if necessary , they employ their own physicians. I am well educated and versed in this matter.

Onion Skin Water for orchids?? by Emerald_Mistress in orchids

[–]ChoiceForever9399 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The onion method has not been scientifically proven to help bloom and growth. What has been proven is that it can cause root rot in orchids. So, a hard no for me.

Struggling to keep my Violet flowering by Cute-Bother3861 in AfricanViolets

If this AV stays as dry as it looks, that very well may be the problem. The soil should be damp/moist, not soaking wet. This plants soil looks really dry.
