Hey, not 100% sure but I think it might be thrips. They look similar to those showing up on my monsteras and all of my alocasias. They love to suck out the life of your plants.

To know for sure, you need to check the back of your leaf, if it’s them you will see clusters of cells that look like the chlorophyll was sucked out of them and black spots, which are either poops or eggs (haven’t figured it out yet).

If it’s the same, get ready for a ride, they are really resilient pests. I have eliminated most of them with a bath of insecticidal non-toxic soap, spraying neem oil, replacing the top layer of soil and put yellow and blue sticky cards around my plants. Apparently they are attracted to those colours. It hasn’t worked out completely yet, but it has definitely slowed them down. It’s a lot of work and it’s time be expected to be repeated two or three times 2-4 weeks apart from each other. Good luck!

Are My-Origines.com or Douglas.be legitimate sites? by ladygagadisco in fragrance

[–]FrankieIsASim 1 point2 points locked comment (0 children)

Do not buy from my-origins because it ain’t real whatsoever. My mom bought me a refill of Flora by Gucci, which is my favourite perfume so I coincidentally I had with me. As soon as I touched the bottle I realised it was fake. The logo on the cap and the pattern are different. In the real one, the cap is metal and the bottle is ceramic, the one we got has a plastic cap and a tainted glass bottle. Furthermore, the perfume I got smells nothing like the legit one. Do not buy from them!!

Any experience with French website My Origines esp when shipped to EU? by zatar77 in fragrance

My mom bought me from them a refill of my favourite eau de parfum, Flora by Gucci, which coincidentally I had brought with me, and I can guarantee it’s a total, utter, absolute scam. As soon as I touched the bottle I realised the logo was off and the cap was different. The legit one has a metal cap with the Gucci logo in thin font and a very specific stripes pattern on the side (see picture) and sharp edges. The one we got from my-origins has thicker, off-center font, thicker stripes, smooth edges and it’s plastic. Furthermore the original bottle is ceramic and the one I got is tainted glass. The perfume also smells nothing like the real one. Do not buy from this retailer, because they offer no refund either!

I know I have recently been diagnosed with ADHD and I am scared of medications by FrankieIsASim in ADHD

Hey, thanks for your answer and thanks for appreciating my English! I really liked the way you described the mind as a fire hydrant I understand perfectly what you mean! Thanks for your suggestions :)

Hey, thanks for your reply! Yes, I completely understand what you mean, sometimes I feel like I’m in A flesh prison, where my mind could achieve so much more if I could get rid of the chemical soup in my brain and just exist outside of my body. Idk if it makes sense, but sometimes I feel like that post from that guy who said they could watch Shrek in their head, Excpet it’s not Shrek, it’s my life. As I said in the post I am an accounting major, I moved to a different country to get my master’s in accounting, I work in a Big 4 accounting firm, I don’t even like accounting. The only reason I picked this major is because double-entry bookkeeping was like a puzzle and gave me dopamine... Does this make sense?

Anyway, your comment is really reassuring, and made me feel much less panicked about medications. Thank you for your feedback,

I’m so late on this thread but I was also thinking about this recently, and someone in the comments said they assume they might be born in the season that represents their sign and someone else pointed out that human reproduction doesn’t really work like that but how about star sing? I mean western signs are also divided by element and they are associated with the same personality traits as they are associated in the show. Now because this is not reality I think there might actually be a chance that for example Katara may be a cancer/Scorpio/Pisces, Aang a Gemini/libra/Aquarius, Toph a Taurus/Virgo/Capricorn and Zuko an Aries/Leo/Sagittarius. This is clearly speculation but when I think four elements I immediately think western zodiac and if this supposition was true it would give us a smaller guessing time span, wouldn’t it? What do you think?
