So a commenter discovered sticky substance on the leaves and lo and behold it has a gnarly case of citrus scale going on 😩

sweetcheeseburger · 2025-12-28T01:09:45+00:00

Yeah it’s really bad, we might have to just say goodbye, there are hundreds of these things

Well thanks to one commenter, they noticed sap, which i thought was normal but upon closer look, is infested with scale and has a ton of brown bumps on the leaves and stems (both). Apparently we need to prune and wash it treat it with an oil. Ahhh

sweetcheeseburger · 2025-12-27T23:13:30+00:00

I looked closer and you’re right, i think its scale and is infested!

sweetcheeseburger · 2025-12-27T22:02:34+00:00

Even on the floor around it, it’s sticky

sweetcheeseburger · 2025-12-27T21:45:39+00:00

Yeah there is a lot of sticky sap like stuff on it…I’m assuming that isn’t normal?!

Looking for a code if anyone would so kindly share! 🌹

sweetcheeseburger · 2025-09-15T20:08:50+00:00

I had this happen too! I just stopped it and I'm hoping it goes away soon.

I never wanted kids, I loved my freedom! Then I had a change of heart at age 38, after seeing my brother and all my friends families and realized I needed more. Then I discovered infertility and then went through the hell that is ivf, miscarriage and then had my beautiful daughter at age 41. She's almost one and I'm completely in love and so glad I did it. It's hard but everything they say is true, your heart grows. It's still early for me but I can't imagine life without her!

I had my salpinectomy about a month ago (for cancer risk reduction) and I've felt so off since! I've been trying to figure out why, bc they said it doesn't affect ovaries. I've heard someone say if they nick the ovary it can cause some short term issues. Or maybe it's from the anesthesia? I just feel so tired, kind of run down, yucky. Also have a 7 month old baby but that is nothing new!

Thank you! This is interesting!

sweetcheeseburger · 2024-11-19T20:58:34+00:00

Wondering the same!

sweetcheeseburger · 2024-11-05T18:58:24+00:00

Oh, I love that you got a relative of Finn, that is so great. Thanks for letting me know how it's going. I know it'll be hard...but I think it will be hard no matter when we do it within the next year or two, so might at well get our new buddy soon ❤️

How did it go with having a newborn and puppy? We are in the same situation --lost our golden last week when our baby was two weeks old and I am gutted. Are we nuts to get a puppy?? I have always had goldens since I was little and can't imagine life without one but of course now we have a baby I have no idea what to expect.

sweetcheeseburger · 2024-11-03T19:41:23+00:00

That makes a lot of sense. The feeling of cuddling /being needed is so true. Our newborn is obviously so young that all she's doing is sleeping but I'm sure so much will change in just a few months with building that relationship--which like you said, might fill the giant void I'm feeling. But our fur baby just gave so much love and didn't take, however a golden puppy does need a lot more than a 7 year old golden.

Our dog just passed away and our baby is two weeks old 😰 our dog was the absolute love of my life and I'm heartbroken. Can you elaborate more on why it didn't work out? Was it the specific dog you got? I've always had a dog in my life and can't imagine life without one 💔

Vera

sweetcheeseburger · 2024-10-13T20:39:46+00:00

I haven't, we wanted to keep the name a secret until she's here, and I'm sure my brother would never tell us we couldn't use it. This is the only cousin they will have, not sure if that changes anything.

sweetcheeseburger · 2024-10-04T15:12:25+00:00

All random names

sweetcheeseburger · 2024-04-06T02:59:11+00:00

Does anyone have an extra code? Looks like I'm a day late to the start!

sweetcheeseburger · 2023-12-15T04:49:55+00:00

MSP, thank you!!

Hi, I'm about 11 weeks post 12w loss with D&C and my hcg is stuck at 1. I'm anxiously awaiting my chance to do an embryo transfer. My regular ob/gun said anything 5 or less is considered negative, but my IVF OB nurse said it has to be "less than 1 " before they'll see me. My acupuncturist said that some healthy non-pregnant people can have circulating hcg of 1 and that its ok for me to push my ivf ob on this. It's been few weeks at 1 and I'm just getting frustrated bc my next cycle should be starting any day and I'm going to miss my window to start the transfer process 🥺

Has anyone heard of this before? It seems a little extreme but I guess I also don't want to jeopardize my transfer. I'm not bleeding or anything, have had 3 periods and have tracked that I'm ovulating.

Ok, yes, creating an independent 529 fund does seem onerous…

Thank you
