OT: Help, my Jade plant is dying..



Recommended Posts

It's a plant exchange! I gave away the last of my plants. They are gone gone gone. So there. They drove me crazy, I didn't love them. They deserved a better home.

The Aloe Vera plant will be divided and repotted. The dirt was rock hard, it was awful. And it wasn't dry...it was just hard! I have no clue what I did to it. The little ivy was growing but not growing big. just long. I don't know what it needs but it's getting repotted. The other plant is...I don't know what...I forgot, but it's doing okay, it just needs some attention.

So, the fish died last year, the dog died the year before, the plants have been adopted out, all I have left is my family and home. THAT I can handle! LOL

Wavy, send that lilly over to 'bonzo. She's a good girl...you can trust her with your plant :eek:

They are! I have passed them along to my banded friends in Charlotte. Dragonwillow has the funky jeans and the wrap shirt. The rest...who knows which girls have them! Clothing exchanges are wild! Think...restaurant parking lots, cars lined up, 5-6 girls digging through one another's trunks...LOL!

Yep, I'm in a 16W now. Can't quite do the regular 16's (big butt/thighs and flabby tummy, eww) but I'm getting there! Yay!

You married yet? How's Herman?

Nope not married...He can't seem to remember to bring me a copy of his divorce papers. Supposedly it has been final since February but every time I ask him to bring them, he cancels our date. I haven't seen him since July 3rd.

UPDATE: Well the hostas have been in the ground for a couple weeks now. I am sitting on the fence with this one and not gonna hold my breath.... they look a bit wilted and not as vibrant looking as when I planted them.... hmmmm.....I have not given up on them yet since they are still greenish and maybe something new is growing.... I think it would be best if I just never looked at them, then they wouldnt know I am expecting something of them and they would probably thrive.... A rock garden is starting to sound better and better to me.

Great plants, but they require a lot of shade and don't do well in the sun at all. I have 6 huge planters of them.

I dont think the poor thing would survive a box trip. I should take it in to work.. its odd, people will adopt other peoples plants if they think the plant is being abused.

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
