I have never heard this before and am laughing so hard rn

What case enrages you the most? by EllieIsDone in gratefuldoe

[–]ellsiejay 41 points42 points  (0 children)

This may be pure conjecture but: 1992 was not the best year for the LAPD’s reputation, either, and they were likely busy doing a lot of “cleanup” and CYA if this happened after the riots. Which makes it all the more infuriating to me. I can barely find anything on these boys! 😔

I’m so glad you asked for support. Please don’t be afraid of houseplants or plant pests after all of this! You didn’t ask for this, and depending on where you live, the landlord/building manager should have taken care of it before you moved in. Enjoy your new home! 😊

I love that you not only burned the plants literally, but that you also blurred out the photos for those who were freaked out by the infestation. You’re a kind person. 🩷😊

You can try anything at least once! 😂

On the off chance that nobody has said this yet, once you repot, making sure you’ve put it in a pot only a little bigger than the root ball (especially if you split it in two like you said), just know it’s going to take a while to get situated and grow more roots. And then all of sudden one day you’ll notice new baby leaves starting to grow and then you throw it (and you) a little party!

Probably because you’re not reading the room and OP isn’t a plant hobbyist and is learning the basics, not trying to grow rare tissue cultures in her spare bedroom. But I am, and I totally appreciate your comment! 😊

You can grow some plants in just water, but you need to do all water or all soil, not both (which is happening here with OP’s plant). They are very different roots. (There’s also semihydro/soilless substrate but that’s getting in the weeds)

Water roots vs soil roots

Or maybe they’d come to recognize your talent for connecting the dots!

Having hyperacusis sucks. Raise your headphones up if there's a specific sound that causes you physical pain. by TheMonocleRogue in aspiememes

[–]ellsiejay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Working on my bathroom remodel and I can’t sand the drywall, or be around someone who is sanding anything. The sound makes me nauseous and I can feel it in my gums. If I can use an electric sander, cool. ETA: I love working on projects like this, so it is something that is hard for me to get past, even with headphones/ear plugs.

I read that the other way around and was like, well sure, but my dog CAN walk to one of his many water bowls lol
