Same.

For orchids give them some nice roomy medium, I read once about a wiffle ball technique where you put a wiffle ball underneath the stem to ensure airflow at the roots. I don't have any wiffle balls whenever I've repotted, so I usually just do a bark "core" and then a slim wrap around the roots with wet sphagnam moss, and fill in any extra room in the pot with more bark. I soak the orchids in water to the base of their leaves like once every two weeks for 15 minutes in lukewarm to warm water, and put a tiny bit of orchid fertilizer in the mix every few months or so. I put them somewhere that is warm with a lot of indirect light. My oldest ones are I think 5 now, so it's been working alright for me. I've also stopped trying to make them be upright because they naturally lean over, so I just put them however they look comfortable in the pot.

I can't visualize nearly at all and when I was younger I would devour a novel daily. I have ADHD and a strong internal monologue.

I don't read books very often now and I think the reason for this is that my need is somewhat met (and maybe partially overwhelmed) by reading things online, unfortunately the majority of the things I read online are lower quality and creativity than a book would be.

It's true, I canceled mine last year. I also haven't missed it, if I need things from Amazon I just have to spend over 35 for free shipping, and while it's slower it really doesn't bother me as much as I thought it might.

It sounds like you don't know what gender affirming care for minors is.

Therapy, safely delaying puberty, general support - which of these do you take issue with exactly?

Habanero lime is sooo good. The jjajang and the cream carbonara are also great.

I think a lot of people cook them wrong though and maybe that's why they don't think they taste good. It's really important that you add the 1/4 cup water (remain 8 tbsp!) with the sauce packet at the end and then stir fry it until it's thick again, this usually takes me about 2 or 3 extra minutes on med-high.

Sometimes I add cream cheese and a little mozzarella to the black packet, and/or a single egg near the end.

The 2x is a bit too much for me, but sometimes my partner and I make two packets, one black (1x for those not in the know) and one 2x and call it 1.5x and that's pretty good.

Tbh tho, while not as spicy, the cream carbonara and the habanero lime flavors are both incredible (separately)

I get a lot of joint pain from specific or repetitive movements (especially in my hands) and these are just slightly too stiff and in a hard enough to press place that using them for more than very occasional use will hurt. I bought some rubber things that make them a bit easier to press, but they still are difficult for me.

Holy shit you are insufferable

They ask you about periods at every single visit for any reason. Have migraines? When was your last period?Twisted your ankle? When was your last period? Think there is a bug in your ear? When was your last period?

There is no avoiding this question as a period aged woman.

Hey if you're on hormonal birth control I think you can just tell them you use the method that gets rid of periods (not taking the placebo week and just continuing with the hormone pills, this is safe if you also just don't want to have periods link)

I have an iud and besides a short time after having one removed to get pregnant with my daughter haven't had my period in uh, 9 years? I just tell them I don't have a period and haven't in years and they accept that readily

Oh yeah, about 15ish years ago they were highly regarded and their products were awesome, but over the last ten or so years they've gotten progressively worse, it's disappointing and sad.
