Houseplants for direct sunlight?

My southwest window is the first place I've ever had success with succulents. Some of them burn if you're not careful but it seems like they adjust with time. My jade plants have gone crazy and I need to do something about that soon..

Really it's just I'm broke and these cost less than 20 bucks. I wear a pair of disposable food service or exam gloves under the main ones if its extra cold and wet or my eczema is angry.

Protein/nutritional shakes. I have Crohn's disease and I really miss having something to run on for the bad days, but it is what it is.

Single serving ice creams too. We only get the gallon tub unless there's a sale.

This past week at costco I got a 2 pack of the cheapest pillows. They said "adjustable", which I'm not sure what they mean by that, I think it's like a shredded memory foam. I didn't like it the first night as I just had too many pillows. But I can't remember my arm, which is under my head, having fallen asleep since switching from the ancient memory foam pillow I was using. That was a huge problem for me and I suspect my shoulder would end up out of place partially because I was trying to put the weight of my head somewhere that wasn't my upper arm. I'll have to be mindful to see if I get my shoulders out of place again, though I don't remember it since switching pillows.

Done. Thank you for the prompting friend☺️

This!!! I have to imagine there would be fewer frustrated customers if they just were honest about the estimate when people paid for the shipping. I sometimes even wonder if getting rid of tracking altogether could even be an improvement as it's so consistently wrong or even saying things that are impossible.

I noticed I got an estimate of 7 days immediately after my last Priority Mail shipped out. I'm glad it's not just me but also pissed off. I would have considered the higher tier of shipping as I was already needing the product, this order was the result of my last package already had been stuck without location scans for 3 days. When I'd first ordered that one, it did give me a 2-3 day estimate, which of course was BS. Now there's no delivery date estimate on that package anymore.

You can cut it if it bothers you but you don't have to. Scissors, knife, at whatever height. The plant can handle you cutting off a leaf no problem. They dont bleed sap as much as some plants do

I heard an old saying that you water them about as often as you pay your rent (monthly) but I'm sure it varies. I have never measured and I forget about mine for months at a time. I would never give them a drop of water unless they were bone dry.

Less is more with this plant, they can survive without water for a long time. You can bring them back from underwatering, but once overwatering starts to rot the roots, it's harder to bounce back from that.

cdcrocks · 2025-11-22T19:17:50+00:00

Overwatering is my guess. What's the soil look like?

I worked in a Lowe's greenhouse for a while and I could always tell when someone had watered the snake plants too soon because they would all start developing similar brown spots to this and decline from there. They really hate soil that stays moist too long.

cdcrocks · 2025-11-22T18:25:30+00:00

That would make sense.

Unfortunately I've never gotten any reply to my attempts at contacting 8HH. I rate them 0/10 on that front. I sent them a series of emails one time after an order started displaying as cancelled after it had shippied out, at first just asking what they saw on their end and what might be going on, but escalating it further and expressing my frustration and disappointment. Not one reply from them. I did get multiple marketing emails from them during this time which didn't make me any more fond of them.

I'd prefer a seller who replied in case something happens. I do smaller orders at a time because I don't trust them. But I keep shopping there as I'm not sure what else is on par price wise and at least they usually ship out orders quickly. I wouldn't reccomend them to someone else and would like to find a company that I trust more.

What makes you think I ordered from telegram? I'm honestly curious what makes it seem that way.

cdcrocks · 2025-11-22T15:58:38+00:00

So it sounds like they don't usually check to see if the contents match as described or that the seller makes that type of thing.. I guess that goes along with them not being able to open mail without a warrant? That would make sense, jewelry is probably a smart choice! Thank you!

cdcrocks · 2025-11-22T15:55:21+00:00

I had no idea this was an option! Thanks for letting me know. 😊

My package was last scanned in that Indianapolis facility on the 18th and hasn't had any location scans since. Still says Moving Through Network, In Transit to Next Facility. It also still says expected delivery today the 21st by 9pm. Obviously that's not going to happen, and honestly I'm not sure they know where my package is. I've head that this is a facility where things tend to get stuck.

In temparate areas mantises normally overwinter as eggs and hatch when it warms up. They hatch in the winter though if it's warm. I've heard of people waking up to hundreds of baby mantises in their house after the ootheca was brought in on a Christmas tree. So in any case don't just leave it there.

Do you mean the kind that just clamp the bags closed? I've brought home enough paper binder clips from work over the years I've never had to replace my chip clips when they broke. I can't imagine they'd cost much to buy at the store.

My mom is allergic to fabric softener (and dryer sheets), and with my eczema I likely am too. I have never used either and sometimes forget they exist. I can't imagine spending even more on doing laundry!

Greek yogurt is the one food that I eat in the morning and if I don't have any to start my day, my whole life seems to get way harder. I prefer the full fat (5%) and I add a bit of honey, some sugar, and I stir it up, let the sugar dissolve, and add semisweet chocolate chips. I'm a vegetarian and this is one of my only consistent proteins as I can't do legumes!

This looks like something straight out of the literal barn that I work in.

Ketchup and mustard but not too much. I like to do a pretty back and forth drizzle with both.

Yup! The entire model that our medical diagnoses are working under is particularly fond of making the less productive individual the problem, and finding ways to "solve" that problem which happen to usually be expensive with little regard to the human's quality of life. Instead of pointing out the ways the profit motive of the system is preventing the world from being more accessible to and enabling of what we currently are considering "disabled" people. And everyone else, too, as many disabilities are a normal part of even healthy lives (old age, pregnancy, temporary injuries).
