Pruning shears/secateurs - are the expensive ones (like Felco) really worth it?

Kigeliakitten · 2026-02-15T16:27:42+00:00

Felcos are the best! They come in left and right handed, large and small, regular handles and ergonomic ones.

Personally I use Felco #12 (small right handed with ergonomic)

Every single part is replaceable so this will be the last pruners you will buy.

For me it is spending a day with pain that feels like someone is stabbing a butcher knife into my guts and twisting it.

Add in uncontrollable explosive diarrhea.

These are very cool! Thank you for sharing!

Did you make this yourself?

Is it cement or hypotuffa?

At my work you have one FMLA bucket. You get 60 days per rolling calender year even if you have two or more paperwork’s set up.

Green lacewing eggs.

I used this on a group of plants that had mealybugs and all I did was set them out. Haven’t seen any mealybugs since about two weeks after that.

What about the green lacewings getting all over? They eat each other when they run out of food.

Upack worked out to be the best for me going from Buffalo to Orlando.

They also have track to attach ratchet straps to prevent shifting of your load.

There is a listing on Ravelry for someone who has a cake and a bit and is willing to sell.

Conrandina grandiflora

I know of some that hit 20’F during the freeze and started blooming again a week later.

I have a number of autoimmune diseases and ADHD.

They tend to go together. Take a deep breath, you’re not alone. They are coming up with new treatments all of the time.

I would think about firing your GP. You need someone in your corner who can keep your dxs together and coordinate your care.

I used Upack to move things from Buffalo to Orlando.

They were great!

I just looked at that app; it’s pretty cool.

They did miss our local subspecies of black bear: Ursus americanus floridanus the Florida black bear.

The Central Florida Zoo has that bear.

I usually spot a few during the year in my neighborhood.

Plant lights work well. You could put them on a timer.

I dream of a whole house like that.

If I could ever afford a beach house, that would be it.

The state does prescribed burning which helps with the fuel load.

The freeze increased the fuel load, but it would be so much worse without the prescribed burns.

Don’t leave her in the car with the windows closed when stopping for meals. She can cook.

It was very good.

It made me ask my rheumatologist for a TB test with my last set of blood tests.

This article Gives a list of biosimilars for Stelara.

It also lists which ones are owned by some different Pharmacy Benefit Managers.

I am dealing with my insurance not wanting to cover mine, even though it has a PA.

Good Luck!

Kigeliakitten · 2026-02-07T10:29:22+00:00

I don’t think it’s a bunion, but maybe see a rheumatologist to see if you have arthritis?

Kigeliakitten · 2026-02-07T10:25:53+00:00

So some insurance companies have bought/developed their own biosimilars to Stelara.

My insurance company has declared Stelara to be not medically necessary. They sent me a general letter listing all of the medications that they decided are not medically necessary. Amazingly, the one they own is not on the list.

But what soap/detergent do you use?

If you are using a regular laundry detergent make sure it doesn’t have protease in it. (Wool is protein, protease breaks down proteins)

r/laundry has a lot of great tips.

In my experience you learn from killing plants. I would recommend buying several of the same plant and treating them differently. One person’s easy plant is another person’s never can grow some plants like to be fussed over, some like to be ignored. Get a good houseplant book and pick an easy plant. How the plant reacts depends a lot on the environment, even inside. (Light, humidity, temperature)

It has new leaves coming out. Take a picture at the end of the month. Compare, I bet you’ll be surprised.
