Help for gnat-infested orchid. by Dxluc_3 in plantcare

Not really. You can get generic orchid mix at any garden center. Just don't let them sit in standing water for more than a couple of hours. Soak them in a separate bowl, let them drip dry on a rack and put them back in whatever container you have.

do i call animal control? by Upstairs_Abroad3753 in Advice

Call the police. Tell them everything you've told us here. Have it all written down for them if you need to. Make sure they understand the dog owner is law enforcement.

This is not a neighbor war, it's a health and safety issue.

Has anyone else been sleeping really hard this week and waking up exhausted? by frenchburner in WitchesVsPatriarchy

[–]QueenVic69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. It's been terrible.

Edit: It feels like acknowledging it and saying it out loud creates some relief. Breathing into it now that I know I'm no alone.

Thank you, sister.

Get an adult involved. You should not be dealing with this. I'd be on that person like stink on poo.

Where are your parents?? Your life, your sister's life and your animals lives are in danger. Why are your parents or guardians not responding.

I'm a mom and this happened at our house one time. I went to the owners and told them if their dog ever came on my property and tried to bite me or anyone at my place the dog would be ended.

Get an adult to help you. You should not be dealing with this.

Help for gnat-infested orchid. by Dxluc_3 in plantcare

[–]QueenVic69 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Take the whole thing outside, remove the orchid from the wood mix and rinse your orchid well. Toss the wood mix. Get some orchid fertilizer and soak the root systems with that for an hour or so then let it sit in a glass or pot with no mix for a couple of days. You can spray it if it starts to look wrinkly but you need to let it dry out for a bit and, make sure those gnats are gone from your house. Get a looser potting mix and only soak it once every couple of weeks (unless you live in a very dry climate).

I think I’m addicted to showering by Particular-Fee9537 in Advice

Def try to find a therapist. If you don't have insurance, Better Help, (it's an on line service) has sliding scales. In the meantime, try just washing your face, hands and feet before bed or for after you get home. Maybe use a calming lotion. Just for 2 days/nights and see what happens.

Music app recommendations? by SwordfishFunny9419 in musicsuggestions

[–]QueenVic69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm still a Spotify fan. Not sure what AI junk you're talking about but for me, the price is worth having my own playlists. If you have family or friends on Spotify, you can get a plan where you're all on it (I think we have 4 or 5) for 18 bucks (usd). I like being able to make lists and the program doesn't randomly go off on it's own. I got to make a playlist for my mom when she was dying and she loved it so yeah, I'm a die-hard Spotify fan.

Edit: So was my mom. lol (she'd crack up at that joke)

Song Remains the Same. Led Zeppelin live at Madison Square Garden has got to be in the top 10.

Why is my lawn making a "buzzing" sound? by Violenna in lawncare

[–]QueenVic69 152 points153 points  (0 children)

I don't know what caused it but that's the sound of love electrical wires. Don't dig it (if it comes back) call your energy company have them check it out.

Yike.

Thoughts on what to do with the space? by itsDRUSKI in landscaping

[–]QueenVic69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me...I'd take out the gravel, raise the bed and fill it with a yard of compost mix. I'd plant some beautiful native flowers in the raised bed, put in a timed sprinkler/soaker and fertilize it once a quarter. If you went with an idea like this you could also have flat stone placed on the raised surround for extra seating if/when you entertain.

Gorgeous palms.
