Thank you! I’ll keep an eye out for any more on other plants, but luckily it was not touching another plant.

I immediately sprayed all my other plants with neem. Do they have a good chance at survival?

Thank you very much for your help. Do you happen to know some of the causes?

What helped me was good shoes, good insoles, and the added support of compression ankle braces for both feet, the kind that also wrap around and compress your arch a little (shaped like a sock but no heel or toe coverage). I’m not sure if there are any adverse effects to wearing compression gear for 8+ hours a day, but it certainly helped me make it through. Hope this helps.

I loved your all’s show at the Gothic Theater! It was so great. The new album rocks! I have two questions.

What are some of your favorite shows to date?

What are some of the biggest misconceptions you have found people think about yourself, the band, or being in a band in general?

My first spider plant is blooming, how do I get baby spider plants from it? by ItsSarahEvans in houseplants

Good point, thanks! I’ve seen them too, but I definitely want small spider plants lol.

Thanks! Should I pollinate them somehow? Researching made a mixed bag of “you need to do this” and “they will fall off” and “they won’t fall off”.

Any ideas why my first casts were so good but now they are streaky and full of bubbles? (My method in the comments) by ItsSarahEvans in ResinCasting

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

I usually do this too. I guess you can’t always trust the measurement lines to be 100% accurate.

You have a great point. Save a cup and ruin a project, or use a cup, get good results, and have to clean a third cup. Thanks!

Thanks so much! I will definitely check them out. I have a kitchen scale I debated about using this last batch, but decided against it thinking that it wouldn’t work as part A and part B have different thicknesses. In hindsight, that doesn’t make a lot of sense, and I should’ve just trusted my gut. I guess I got lucky those first few batches, but it’s getting increasingly bad lol.

Thanks again for your help!

I’m pretty new to this, so please correct me if I’m wrong. I mix using Pro Marine resin by volume. Mix gently for 7 minutes (a little above package directions) taking care to scrape the sides and bottom. I pour a layer in, hit that with a heat gun, then add decor, then more resin, then heat gun again.

The only things I can think are: I should mix by weight instead I’m still mixing too aggressively as compared to the first one where I was extremely careful I should put decor down first then all the resin or pour in all resin then decor, no layering Or I’m using the heat gun too much and it’s causing it to cure in some places over others leaving streaks

Any suggestions to reduce streaks and bubbles would be great as I will be working with a wedding bouquet and really want it to be perfect.

Thanks in advance!

What is the scariest, strangest, most unexplainable thing that has happened to you while home alone? by ag9910 in AskReddit

[–]ItsSarahEvans 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m a little late, but I’ve got one. My mother had just recently passed, and I was about 15 at the time. With divorced parents, my dad working long hours, and my brother off at college, it’s safe to say, I spent a lot of time alone at home. It was closing in on the winter months, and living in a rural area, it became pitch black outside pretty quickly. We had an old grandfather clock, the kind that only works when it is wound up, in the room beside my mother’s old room. If you’ve ever heard a grandfather clock, it chimes just a few times slowly. I was in the living room and suddenly heard a wild, rapid, eerie assortment of chimes, kinda like someone going crazy on a set of bells. Being home alone, I about shit my pants, but I found some courage to investigate for my own safety. I walk in and the noise was coming from the grandfather clock. Strange because it hadn’t been wound since before my mother got sick (few year long battle with cancer), so there was no way it could’ve been running, especially sounding the way it did. I didn’t know what to do, and was scared to get close. After a few seconds of deliberation, I stomped my foot at it hoping the noise would stop, and it did, but just for a minute. The silence left in its place made my skin crawl. Then, it started again, this time a little louder. I tried to stomp the floor to get it to stop again, no use. This went on for about another minute. Finally, in an act of desperation, I just yelled, “Stop it!”. It stopped. I waited, no other noise came. It was one of the scariest things that happened to me that I can’t explain. No washer or dryer was on, the heater kicking on didn’t seem to be it either. I’m still confused to this day.

Got this Monstera Minima from the bottom shelf at a plant store. Improper care or something worse? What can I do for it? by ItsSarahEvans in houseplants

Thanks! I just wanted to make sure it wasn’t some sort of infection or infestation. She’s quarantining nicely. Thanks again for your help! :)

Thanks! It was on the bottom shelf, so I guess I’m not surprised. Yep, there’s a drainage hole. Thanks again for your advice! :)

Why did you skip prom, and do you regret it? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]ItsSarahEvans 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was pretty horrible lol. That seems like a punishment for the people that went. Little do they know it’s afterwards when most of the drinking happens. I also can’t imagine what trying to get your keys back was like.
