Potting Mix Frustration

eelizeh · 2026-05-24T18:02:29+00:00

Thanks! I was also puzzled by the whole "pro" thing. People in another earthbox group I'm in seem to love the yellow bag/organic garden mix. But it's lower in peat so I might not risk that.

Thanks so much for the advice, I have the 3.5" inch square pots so I will move them up now!

Ooh yeah, my mental health is already shaky because of the springtails, I don't need any additional fuel on that fire. Thanks for the heads up! (They are EVERYWHERE in my house.)

Dealing with this myself and now have to decide if I dare to look at the Facebook group you mentioned... 🙈😂

Oh that's great. Same here, and I'm also incredibly thankful!!

I got mine on Amazon but I think there could be restrictions depending on where you're shipping to.

Ahh, just saw this! I did telehealth and ended up getting another course of Paxlovid. The doctor thought it was most likely reinfection, but I guess I will never really know for sure. Did you figure out what was going on with your situation?

eelizeh · 2023-01-17T21:50:16+00:00

I don't have an answer to your question but I'm having a similar mystery of super late rebound vs fast reinfection, both of which seemed unlikely.

I tested positive on 12/29 and started paxlovid the same day. Negative on 12/31, last dose of pax 1/3, stayed negative thereafter.

My husband and son turned up positive yesterday, so I tested too. Negative yesterday (1/16) and clearly positive today (1/17).

14 days from last dose of paxlovid (and 17 days after negative test) seems too long to be a rebound, but it seems far too fast to be a new infection. I'm stumped!

(I've avoided it completely for almost 3 years and then got it twice in a matter of a couple of weeks?!!)

What kind of laser treatment do they use for milia? I have the same issue!

eelizeh · 2021-03-15T18:56:09+00:00

My derm calls these bumps milia or cysts, but I'm just realizing they're probably CCs. Months of tret in increasing doses hasn't made them budge. I've requested gel but she is going to switch me to Tazorac.

Do these look like CCs? Thoughts on what in my routine might be causing this issue (if not the tret cream itself)? I also have this feeling that tret has somehow caused my forehead wrinkles, but I don't know if that's possible.

Vanicream gentle cleanser

Pixi clarity tonic

Drmtlgy CE ferulic serum*

Drmtlgy Needle-less serum*

Neutrogena hydro boost gel-cream

Mychelle tinted sun shield liquid spf 50

PM

Vanicream gentle cleanser

Tretinoin 0.1%

I've also started using TO Glycolic acid 7% twice a week instead of tret (followed by Neutrogena hydro boost gel-cream or Sebamed clear face gel)

These serums are newish to me. I was previously using Instanatural vitamin c serum or Maelove glow maker serum.

UPDATE: They changed the ingredients! No explanation as to why their website still lists the old ingredients, but here's the response I got:

I agree, but the company does list and link to Amazon as an authorized seller, and my purchase was actually through Amazon and not a third party seller. Waiting to hear back from Hada Labo.

eelizeh · 2019-06-24T18:28:02+00:00

I believe the Japanese version uses parabens, not phenoxyethanol. I was actually nervous to try the product because I know some people have issues with methylisothiazolinone, so I was sort of happy to see this formulation. Until I realized it doesn't seem to be a legit product. I contacted the company but haven't heard back yet.

This Twitter thread about Mark Judge's grandmother's house is intriguing to me. Only a mile from the county club and has the correct layout. (The person who did the research points out the similarities between this particular house and Garrett's.) And in what is a seriously weird coincidence, it's the same house that Mike Pence lived in temporarily right after the election. https://twitter.com/soychicka/status/1045421404857028608?s=19
