Part of the issue for Canadians is lack of access to healthcare. My province has a waitlist that people are stuck on for 10+ years waiting for a general practitioner. Even people I know that do have a doctor aren’t satisfied with the doctor, but they can’t switch because of the lack of alternatives.
I live in Canada, the province I’m in is more on the humid side but nothing crazy. The humidity in my house is usually around 45-50%. My one ping was around a heat pump and has been doing fine, no issues with the bottled water yet 🤷♀️
The top one, the sundew! The ones I have aren’t too bad honestly, I only have 4. Pinguiculas are the 3 I started with and the main thing to remember is they need low/no-mineral water (I honestly have just been using bottled since I had a case handy). They need neutral soil (plain sphagnum moss has been my go-to), and as long as they’re kept relatively damp since they’re naturally found in a swamp you’re good to go!
They’ve been easy to take care of and I definitely appreciate them picking up the stray fungus gnats. If you’re interested, definitely read up on them but they’re honestly super easy to look after and have been a great starter carnivorous for me. I’ve heard sundews are even easier so I’ll see how that goes!
I don’t want to tell you how to live your life, but that sounds like a bit much…
Right?? I actually had one before that was getting pretty large but had to toss it because it became infested with thrips, so I thought I’d try again 🤞
At least 5, I think more. She was what? 9? 10? and dude is 15 (at least) kissing her? I honestly think I’ll drop it, super ick. Sure she’s reincarnated and not mentally 9 but the guys don’t know that 🤢
Not sure if anyone else here is watching this but… Anyone else find it incredibly creepy how much these teenage boys are smitten with a literal child? I really want to like this show but damn is it giving me predator vibes. Maybe I’ve been watching too much Law and Order SVU lately…
My thinking would be why risk not getting checked out? Unfortunately worst case scenario happened this time :(
I found a pic of a succulent or something that hadn’t been opened yet on the internet. The taller plants are longer packages to accomodate the vines and folliage but this is essentially it (looks like this is actually one of theirs):
I can try! So they were wrapped in brown packing paper, kind of coned around it. the inner paper was reinforced under the pot with tape, all soil and sphagnum moss arrives dry by the time it gets to my place (unsure if they water before packing it or not). Most succulents arrive with tissue (like kleenex) on the soil and tucked under the leaves and then taped down on the corners of the pot. The pinguiculas had tissue completely over top to prevent damage to their delicate leaves. the brown wrapping paper is folded down so it all sits kind of scooped (kinda like how bouquets are wrapped some times). Some of the more fragile hoyas and succulents also had that like plastic stuffing that you’d find in a pillow or stuffed animal over top of it for padding. All the larger hoyas came with the wire trellises which, aside from being for the plant, helps prevent squishing.
All the packages were tucked in basically feet to head with each other. and then the empty space had more brown wrapping paper loosely in it to prevent any movement.
Crystal Star Nursery, it’s my 4th time ordering from them. It’s hard to find hoyas where I’m at and even just in Canada in general and they’ve got a really great selection. I highly recommend them if you’re in Canada.
The plants are always healthy and mostly pest free aside from the occasional fungus gnat. The gnats aren’t a big issue for me anymore though since almost anything that isn’t a succulent or cactus gets potted into semi-hydro.
**I should mention that I bring up pests because the nursery that’s near me is notorious for all kinds of bugs so it’s nice when I find one with healthy plants haha.
Not too big honestly, maybe 9"x18"? I recently lost a bunch of plants to thrips so I had the space and some birthday cash :P
Whoops! How silly of me, here you go: 
Sign me up for a house-bot. I’m so tired by the time I get home from work that I’d love a robot to do all the chores for me.
Freaking wild! I knew it was coming but damn did it suck to see some of my favourites go up in flames(?). I’m glad Oba was able to reduce the impact and that he lived at least.
They’re so pretty! The Cuprea is a stunner 😍
I enjoyed it but I wish I didn’t pay full price. The game is very linear and I think I beat it in about 6 hours. Also not a lot of replay value in my opinion.
Well at least she didn’t get screwed out of her money. The guy sucks but it seems she came out of the engagement relatively unscathed.
Fuck yeah! I haven’t seen the finale yet but this has been a super enjoyable anime. Very glad we’ll be getting more of it!
I’m having that issue on All, I can view Subscribed ok at least. I assumed it had something to do with me filtering out Trump but it’s good to hear it’s not just me.
