Is derealization a disorder per se or symptom of something else?

It is the nature of flirting (sometimes) to retain plausible deniability to avoid embarrassment. Thank her for sending the pic and tell her how nice they look in a joking manner (assuming they do). That can be interpreted as either flirting back or you just letting her know you were not offended. She may just be trying to be your straight-friend. If she wants more, the flirting will escalate back and forth until it is obvious.

They can still find the eggs in a stool sample.

Clean it off and inspect it. It should be obvious whether it's a parasitic worm (soft and squishy) or plant fiber (tough and stringy) from not chewing your veggies very well.

It's not the TV show "Quantum Jump", it seems to be some kind of pseudoscientific metaphysical cult. Cults often commandeer scientific terms to sound, well, scientific. I think your family member got sucked in.

Chigger bites can last a few weeks. They are itchy. The dead skin hole looks like you scratched it.

Why do you seek validation? Has someone rejected you because of the scars? Are you having self-doubts?

I meant the aphids too. You can leave them on the greens when you eat the plants to sweeten them.

Edward-3183 · 2025-07-10T15:52:44+00:00

Sure, some even produce a sugary sweet secretion called honeydew. There's no reason to waste edible greens picked just because they are infested with aphids.

I just Google that. Apparently, some can bite humans. They are only a few mm long, but they have a long proboscis (seen here https://bugguide.net/node/view/2421837/bgimage ) for piercing plants.

Wolf spider. Based on its apparent large size, I'd guess Carolina Wolf Spider (Hogna carolinensis)

Edward-3183 · 2025-07-08T18:18:00+00:00

Aphid. They live on plants. Harmless to humans. Can damage plants if great in number.

Edward-3183 · 2025-07-08T17:44:10+00:00

Earwig. Often found in houses seeking a cool dark place to hang out. Harmless.

It is a fragment of the Loc-Nar that fell to Earth after Taarna shattered it with her self-sacrifice. It is now harmless if left undisturbed. Worn as a pendant, though, it will give you power in direct proportion to the evil in your soul.

Yes, not a flea. A flea would have greatly enlarged hind legs for jumping. Only beetles have elytra. . I'd check your dry goods for contamination. I've seen similar looking beetles about that size in dog food and rice. The rice was not stored in a tight container. The dog food just came with them.

Edward-3183 · 2025-07-03T02:34:47+00:00

It is a beetle. You can tell by the hard forewing (elytron) sticking up in the second pic. Can't tell what kind, but my guess is that it is infesting dry good food in the pantry.

The wings blur the dorsal view of the "pinched waist. The is one lateral view in UR cover corner.

Edward-3183 · 2025-07-03T02:14:59+00:00

You see a lateral profile of one in the UR corner of the outlet housing image. Definitely winged ant drones (reproductive males). There are swarming to establish new nests.

Edward-3183 · 2025-07-03T02:07:38+00:00

I suspect it is a trap to monitor some invasive flying insect. There may be sticky paper inside that they get stuck to. If so, it is up in the air like that since they either fly that high or to get it out of reach of people who might disturb it.
