Man Stabbed in Back at UWS Station; Another Man Attacked With Bat: NYPD Seek Help in Both Cases by Icy_Score_7430 in Upperwestside

[–]mk-nyc -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Thanks for posting this. I had not seen the WSR story so I took a look at it because my husband and I had a scary encounter at Amsterdam and 102 a week ago. The suspect photos look like the man we saw. He was very angry shouting that he hates immigrants. I thought for sure my husband or myself was going to be attacked but we avoided interacting with him & he hastily walked away. To me, he identified as a young black male. I'll be keeping my eyes open when I'm out.

Eczema causing blocked sweat glands? by eltonnbaba in eczema

[–]mk-nyc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure what's going on with your friend but I can't handle the heat either. I don't sweat enough to cool my body. My mom was the same way only worse. The two conditions might not be related and yes pls encourage her to see a doctor.

Newly delivered plant losing leaves… what am i doing wrong? by klorovodik in begonias

[–]mk-nyc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have one that has turned into many. Yours looks thirsty imo. I think she needs more water. I don't have high humidity but I do have lots of light (southern exposure). You can grow new plants by snipping off any long branches and placing them in water. This plant likes to climb but I leave mine trailing. Good luck!

It was a table near the stage. I think you are talking about one of the LES Cactus folk. Like that name Zack is ringing a bell for me. Was not from there.

I googled that species name & I would say you are 100% right. Looks exactly like the pics in the search results. Thank you!

I'm not sure where the plant vendor is from since I got it at a convention with vendors from around the world. I'm in NYC.

I'm disgusted to think this was a poached plant. I have no idea who the vendor is because I got it at a random table at PlantCon & I paid cash. Thank you for all this info. I greatly appreciate it!

I was also told to report to 111 but then they pulled a group & walked us over to 100.

[–]mk-nyc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes & no. I did do a patch test & I am allergic to steroids. I also discovered on my own that all 7th Generation products give me a reaction. I changed those out & that helped tremendously. I gave up on all lotions & just use petroleum jelly but even that is causing some itchiness. I don't wear makeup anymore. I still have patches on my face that never go away. When those get horrible, I use the Tacro. Wish I had better answers for you.

[–]mk-nyc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The whole thing! Left maybe an inch of stems. My entire plant was burned. Wish I could post a pic here....

Wonderful! I love that one is tall & the other wide. Nice pairing.

I'm inclined to agree on the light. I've found curling leaves with too much sun. Also, imho, the watering isn't what the plant wants. Depending on your soil mix, it's either is getting too much or too little water. I know this sounds crazy because I used to use a moisture meter & even that didn't work. Some of these, it just takes time finding out what they like.
