Plant resuscitations go!

So who else here is experiencing plummeting billable hours and exponential weight gain since this whole WFH thing started? Bought snacks for 30 days, finished in 48 hours.

How are you able to do heavy exercises after work? My body heats up and my sleep suffers. How do you work the next day?

What’s the furthest you’d drive for fertility treatments? I had to do clomid iui with my daughter and trying for number 2 but the office isn’t accepting new patients at this time

My last therapist keeps coming up in my mind. I left her when I moved to a new area before COVID dug in and frankly it felt like leaving a girlfriend. She also disclosed in the final session that she was a member of AA and knew several of the people I occasionally discussed from the rooms. Her knowledge of the program certainly built trust with me early on, but it has been two years. I discussed it with my current therapist but she’s still in there. Any advice?

How much of a pay cut are you willing to take to (hopefully) re-find purpose in your job?

My Context: work in tech, company has HQ in the Bay but I live in Canada. Single, no kids, 1 mortgage, no debts.

TC: ~200k USD (60% base / 40% equity). I put very low effort, completely disengaged and unmotivated, with anxiety building up. Don’t like the company, but very few companies can match where I live

I’m being offered ~110k to work more, better title, fun project and company

What’s your story?

I’m 21. Maybe I just got lucky, but working in Apple retail was an incredible experience. I was only there for 7 months, but it was enough time to know it’s a place filled with love and laughter. Walking in other Apple Store’s I can feel the energy and I genuinely believe my store was unique. Managers cared and coworkers were connected. I’m going to miss talking about Apple with people, but definitely not helping indecisive assholes try on 30 different Apple Watch bands; they can suck my balls.

I NEED MORE PLANT PICS ON HERE!

Piggybacking on my previous post about beginner plants. What about succulents? Are they low maintenance?

Anybody buy soil in bulk for delivery? Just bought a house and the shrub bed had personally wronged me.

Hi plant parents :) anyone in the dc/ northern va area that has a pothos growing well? I really just want a wee bit of cutting so I can propagate. I’d come pick it up from you, no contact! Help!

Do plants live forever? Or do the die eventually like animals? My peace lily of 11 years is outgrowing its pot and parts of it are dying it appears.

What house plants are NOT toxic to cats? I swear every time I go to buy a new plant and look it up it says “toxic to pets”. I have a dumb cane which I know is toxic but didn’t realize when I bought it so now I just keep it in the laundry room away from my cat when I’m at work but that means no daytime sunlight. Would like suggestions on which plants I can buy that are safe to leave alone with my cat 😸

Any recommendations for grow lights that can be moved around?

I left a little doorstep herb garden out over the winter. Do we think anything will come back or is it dunzo? Basil, cilantro and thyme. My rosemary out there persevered!

Has anyone in the US moved plants successfully across the country? I will be using professional movers for my move from IL to WA this fall.

Sort of houseplant related... but does anyone actually have experience with large fake plants, specifically the best places to get them? I have a large collection of live houseplants but I wanted a large (5’) fake plant for a place in my house that gets little to no sunlight. A lot of the ones I’ve seen look super cheap for how much they cost and I figured someone here might have some good advice :) TIA
