Definitely check your sink/garbage disposal for a fruit peel you dropped in there. There’s always a source, you just have to find it.

It’s always somewhere! But try a bowl with white wine vinegar and a drop of dish soap covered in press n seal with holes poked through.

Yes. And apparently it’s a thing with produce at the moment.

Omg yes!

Same, seems to be killing a lot but more spawn up anyways

I was seeing fruit flies every day and made an effort not to leave any fruit or wine sitting out. I think they were actually attracted to the open bottle of wine on the table, and I started putting a stopper in the bottle in between pours.

I also rinsed wine out of any glasses if I wasn’t running the dishwasher right away. This seems to have gotten rid of the flies.

Also could be your plants not necessarily food?

It’s this terrible feeling of like anguish/unease in my gut, but I don’t have anything I’m worried about- it’s like my body wants to find something to worry about.

My SO told me he wanted to take a break and I told him that we should rather break up for good but never heard back from him. During the break, I met couple of guys and things happened. Now my SO wants to be back in my life and I told him what I have been up-to. I gave him the classic “But we were on a break” line and he got more upset. I don’t think our relationship is salvageable at this point. It feels so weird few months ago we were so madly in love and now we are in this situation.
