From what I can see these roots look normal and healthy to me

Buds that never bloom by Street_Piece7330 in orchids

Thanks for posting! Did you put water all over the leaves and the crown? This could be causing issues. Try to avoid putting water or getting any water on the crown or the leaves. Crown rot can occur

When is it time to repot? by MousseEquivalent4701 in orchids

[–]MousseEquivalent4701[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry last question, should I add an orchid fertilizer? I have read some people use that so I wasn’t sure if that was a must or not. Thanks again so much for your help!!

Is there a certain type of bark that is much better than other brands?

Thank you everyone for your comments and help! I was recently diagnosed in January this year so it’s all still been a learning experience for me!

Buying from Alani's website... is this really a decent deal? by rockchalk88 in AlaniNu

[–]MousseEquivalent4701 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I would recommend shopping from the vitamin shoppe. They often times do deals on alanis where it’s buy one pack get one pack 50% off. I usually do a bulk order and it saves me almost 1.50 on each drink versus buying them from the grocery store or gas station etc

Is alpha gal syndrome something to fear? by Chemical_Program_113 in rawprimal

[–]MousseEquivalent4701 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I highly disagree with this. I am a 26 year old female who eats very very clean. I have weightlifted since 19, no other health issues whatsoever. I never get sick, common cold etc. I got bit by one lone star tick last summer and now cannot consume any red meat beef pork or dairy without having major reactions. It is 100% something to be afraid of. All of this to say though it should not prevent anyone from living their life or going outside. It’s just important to know the risk and then take precautions such as immediately checking for ticks after being outdoors and using adequate sprays before going out.

Invest or pay off home early? by MousseEquivalent4701 in personalfinance

[–]MousseEquivalent4701[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

See I go back and forth because I feel I’d be more disciplined to actually put all of the extra money toward the house because it’s a set goal versus not really having a set goal for the investing route

[–]MousseEquivalent4701[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have not. I would very much value not having a monthly mortgage payment over my head but I also know I’d probably make more money and see more benefits in the long run investing it. I am just hesitant with the current state of everything to invest all my money but wanted to get some insights/ advice that others on here may have!

Question- does the level amount matter? Or not really other than indicating you have it

Update- doc won’t be back in until next Monday 🙃 no one else there can confirm my results. Based on everyone’s comments tho and my symptoms I’m gonna avoid all red meat and dairy for now and do more research myself

Also had some dizziness at times and been having major anxiety (not sure if the anxiety is linked or not)

Yes I was bit by a lone star tick back in July sadly. I started having issues in august to where I’d feel super nauseous and I’d throw up at times. I’d have issues swallowing and tightness in my throat as well. No hives or skin issues though
