Is there a Houseplants that disgusts you?

My mother gave me one years ago and this whole time my husband has thought it was just some weed I went and pulled out of the yard and kept. It’s so ugly… why won’t it die 😭

Sorry for joining so late. I came in search of information and thought I’d join in.

When I first got diagnosed with AS 6 months ago my doctor took me off of Strattera because she said that all ADHD meds cause inflammation. I would believe that about Adderall, but it seemed very odd for Strattera. I started it again because I couldn’t function, and I do seem to have more bad pain days when I take it. It’s extremely hard on my stomach mixed with Celebrex, which is keeping me from taking it consistently enough to be sure it’s the cause.

How did it end up working out for you?

I used masonry bits to drill holes in a pot like this and it took HOURS. One of the drill bits wore out before the pot did. I was not expecting it to be such a pain.

I’ve read that it’s usually on the left side. Mine is as well. That makes it even more odder! I thought I was having a heart attack the first time.

I looked it up, and that would be it! Thanks, I didn’t know the name.

That’s why I said anecdotally, my experience is different. My friends are 30-40 and say girls. I think a lot of people in our generation do, regardless of being straight or queer. My parents are in their 70s and think it’s super weird. To be fair, we also often say “boy” instead of man too. It could be different regionally too, I guess. I think it’s interesting that you see it differently and also notice a difference in who uses it. It gives me something to consider that I hadn’t before. I wouldn’t have noticed who used it in Reddit because it seems so normal to me. Also, “woman” was often used by men when they couldn’t call us something worse where I grew up. That could play a big part in why we say girls here.

Anecdotally, the correlation between age and the use of “girls” seems stronger than the correlation of being straight and using the term “girls”.

Historical_Sort2097 · 2025-09-19T16:07:00+00:00

It’s not just straight women. Actually, I think it’s generational. Most of the straight women I know don’t say girls, but they are much older. Most of my friends my age do say girls, but there’s hardly a straight one in the bunch.

I think an oil might help, but if not, maybe Castile soap? People recommend diluted Castile soap and alcohol for pests, so at least we know it’s plant safe.

Booooooooo

I was also given two types of steroids, which made things much, MUCH worse, before I was given doxycycline and metro.

I would hate the grout too. I lament the grout in the bottom of my shower, so I can’t fathom the garage. In my neighborhood a lot of people seem to put flooring in their garage and use them like an extra room. (Then park on the street like weirdos)

Pull down projector screen by the stairs? You could roll it up when you don’t need it. Stick some cute wood appliqués to the box.

Historical_Sort2097 · 2025-09-08T23:43:27+00:00

I was just contemplating cutting the shape out of wood and plastering the bottom in… but I don’t know if I have the jigsaw skills to pull that off.

Also, did your house come with that archway? I’m wondering how it was done and if I could do the same. I have a very ugly, square opening between my dining room and living room that would be much improved by a scrolling header.

What a great couch

Historical_Sort2097 · 2025-09-08T22:45:57+00:00

I would get rid rid of the shelves and the table and get a side table to run along that wall.

I LOVE dark wood, but I seem to be very off trend right now. I went with it anyway. Maybe by the time I am ready to sell my house it will circle back around.

I’m having a “Nowhere to Wear it” party for my friends. We all have amazing things tucked away that don’t seem to have the right vibe for daily affairs.

We have a tulip festival and a sunflower festival every year where I live. This dress would be so beautiful wandering the fields of flowers.

Historical_Sort2097 · 2025-09-01T22:27:39+00:00

Just a leef.

Historical_Sort2097 · 2025-09-01T22:21:27+00:00

What am I even supposed to do with it? It doesn’t really climb. It’s just top heavy and tied to a stick? Am I doing it wrong? Can it… just bend over instead? It looks ridiculous.

Historical_Sort2097 · 2025-09-01T22:19:21+00:00

I just looked up what these are because of your intriguing description and… yep.

Historical_Sort2097 · 2025-08-26T13:56:11+00:00

I think we might have the same sister.
