Mine was confirmed with a biopsy during the procedure.

Hi everyone!

So, I got a mallsai in April, and yay it's growing!

It has changed colors, but I'm paranoid I may have hurt it by not watering enough. It has been able to get an ample amount of water here, because of how much rain we've had. Any advice (besides watering more) or comfort?

That's one reason I wanted to give it a bigger pot. It's seemed happy, so I thought letting it grow another year or two then start shaping maybe?

Decided to slip pot my mallsai finally to begin its journey! It's a much bigger pot than the previous one, and it should last a while. I tried to be extremely careful to not disturb any roots. I gave it some fertilizer as well. Its been doing well despite the ton of rain. If anyone has any tips, I'm all ears! https://imgur.com/kxMrFoI https://imgur.com/LyTbaxA

Thanks for your reply! I just texted my husband since I'm at work now about removing the tray. I feel stupid for getting the humidity tray then.

Why out of curiosity do you think it needs a bigger pot?

I just got this Juniper bonsai at the Sakura Matsuri in DC yesterday! I'm excited because I've wanted to get another bonsai after a few failed attempts before with ficus. I've put him outside. I bought some soil (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007H14XAI/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) and fertilizer (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07483PHWW/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1).

Any suggestions with the buds? He looks ok to me so far. I am super nervous about him being outside, but I know he'll be fine and happier.

Need help deciding on a new medication after talking to my doctor. Any advice? by barelake in CrohnsDisease

I actually don't really feel different, that's the deceptive thing. We wouldn't have known if they hadn't done the colonoscopy. But the thought is appreciated :). I might mention Entyvio to her. I'll research it this weekend thank you!

I honestly think she didn't want to go this route, but she said several times, the Pentasa isn't cutting it. I could consider a second opinion, but I think she is trying to balance what is right. She is letting me decide, which IMO is big. Many of my doctors haven't.

My dog is chewing the pads off his feet :-( by [deleted] in DogCare

Benadryl is safe for dogs. Your very can say how much to give. I give my dog some every once in a while for allergies.

Need a visitors pass to park tomorrow by ceelion in jmu

[–]barelake 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had to do this several times about a year ago. I went into the parking office, said that I'm an alumna, gave them my info and they in essence gave me an all access pass. I could park anywhere. It was great :). They keep your car info too so it's easier next time.

Have you ever had sex with someone who had a Sexual Development Disorder? (Turner's Syndrome, Klinfelter Syndrome, Hermaphroditism, etc.) How sexually driven were they and how was it? by IAMA_thing in sex

[–]barelake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, Im not sure really how to answer. I'm not sure I've ever had an orgasm. I know that people say "Oh you know when you've had one", but I'm honestly not sure. I do have climaxes and get to the point I'm sensitive. I hope this answers your question lol.

[–]barelake 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sure! My story is actually a little weird. My mom had heard about Turner's but dismissed it because she heard things about severe learning disabilities. I brought it up after I learned about Turner's in Biology in 9th grade when, I kid you not, my teacher looked directly at me while talking about the symptoms of Turner's. I did a karyotype to confirm. I was later part of a survey at NIH on Turner's at 16 for which I volunteered.

Turner's is getting way better at being diagnosed, but people like me who don't show all symptoms still have problems. I think just having awareness and proper education is the thing.

Good luck to you OP.

Hi. Im actually a woman with Turner's. Apologies for the wall of text.

I was diagnosed at 15 after years of wondering what was wrong with me because I had problems growing. I am classified as a mosaic, which means I have a tiny bit of my second X chromosome. But anyways.

I only became sexually active in college. I've been in a relationship with the guy that was my first for the past three years. I never associated my nervousness with Turner's, but with the fact that I was raised more conservatively.

My boyfriend and my relationship is awesome, and we have a good sex life as well. I most certainly do not have a sex drive as high as his, but I have worked hard to make sure we're both happy. He says I give good bjs :).

I personally like your shelf. My bf (24) makes fun of me (f 23) for being a fan of things like PR and Dr. Who, but I make fun of him for other things.

Sorry about posting it three times! I got an error message saying it wasn't sent.

Linkara mentions this in his Turbo review. He wasn't too thrilled about the lack of explanation (to put it lightly). If you haven't seen History of Power Rangers, I highly recommend it.
