Dead cryptomeria globosa?

If there is a better page to ask this question, please advise.

I have three of these plants in a rock bed. They’ve always done very well, even in full sun. They get the same amount of water and sunlight. Now I noticed two of them have brown spots, but they look different. The first picture definitely looks like a dead patch. The second picture on a different shrub of the same variety looks brown, but appears different. It’s not dried out. It doesn’t look right, however.
Somewhere along the line I read that new growth on these plants appears brown, but I just don’t think that’s the case. Any advice on what these two shrubs could be dealing with and how to treat them?
Bottom line: they both have brown spots, but the brown spots look like they’re different causes. I’m not sure if the first picture is just dead shrub and the second picture is a shrub that’s suffering from the same thing but not quite at the complete death stage lol.
Help. I don’t wanna lose these shrubs.

1 mg: what if I stop

I started dieting several months ago and have been losing weight on my own. I had some labs done and my doctor was concerned about my A1c and my bad cholesterol. She suggested going on just 1 mg of terzepitide a week to address those issues. I don’t feel any different and have continued to be able to drop weight. I don’t know if the terzepitide is helping at that low-dose or not.
My question is: once I stop taking this 1 mg a week is my weight likely to rebound like it would at higher doses or could my 1 mg a week be considered insignificant to weight loss/gain?

Shapewear with open gusset

I need recommendations for shapewear with a snap or otherwise easy to open gusset. I’m going to be wearing a long gown with a train to an event and need some kind of shapewear that I don’t need to pull down. It’s impossible to find anything and I can’t be the only one with this issue.

When do Chesapeake Bay Retrievers mature, if ever?

We have a seven month old Chesapeake Bay retriever. She definitely lives up to the reputation. She’s very active, energetic, opinionated, intelligent, and stubborn. We would like to get to the point where we can leave her in the house unattended for, in the beginning, a few hours at a time. Right now, she gets put in a crate when we have to leave.

I know every dog is different and no one can make an precise prediction, but just wondering for any Chesapeake owners, when might we be able to start letting this happen? Just wanting to hear others experiences.

Retinol and botox

Should I avoid using products with retinol before getting Botox? If so, how long should I refrain from using products prior to getting Botox?

Indestructible dog bed

I have a seven month old Chesapeake Bay Retriever. I need an indestructible dog bed, preferably one that she can’t flail around in the air like a dead animal carcass.
Any recommendations?

Low dose terzepitide

My NP is putting me on 1 mg of terzepitide per week. The dosage is so low because it is primarily to help improve my lipid numbers, although my A1c is fine, but she would like it a little lower.
Question: I am getting ready to travel for a week and I’m starting my first dose tomorrow. I leave on a plane trip on the eighth and will return a week later. At such a low-dose am I looking at bad side effects? I don’t know what to expect, but I need to start it and I also need to take this trip and don’t want to have diarrhea on an airplane.

Japanese Beatles

Are destroying my zinnias almost literally overnight. I do not wanna walk around and flick them into a bucket of soapy water. Is there anything that I can use that will stop them, other than something like Sevin?

Japanese beatles

Are absolutely devouring my zinnias overnight. I’ve sprayed them with Sevin, but don’t have a lot of hope as I’ve already also sprayed my crêpe myrtle three times and they’re still landing on there and eating the leaves. Any advice? I cannot walk around and flick them into a bucket of soapy water. I want something that will deter them.

Irrigation

I am in the mid- Atlantic.
I posted the other day asking about the brown spots in my yard. Everything points to brown patch and we treated it the other day. I noticed that we have dead spots now that follow the tracks of our mower which, after researching, appears to be due to stress on already weakened grass. We have been watering five times a week for maybe twenty minutes to thirty minutes a zone and it’s been blazing hot and sunny during the day and warm and humid at night. My reading points to it possibly being an issue of the ground not getting saturated deep enough. I’m thinking that we need to amp up our watering but do it less frequently.
Question: how much water (inches) should a zone get and how many days per week?

Should I be concerned?

Mid-Atlantic USA

We did have some frost damage during an early spring last minute frost but all the leaves have come in well. I just noticed this.
The rocks have been pulled back from the base of it to give it plenty of breathing room. It also may be transplanted at some point to a more spacious area, but for now it’s fine where it is. I would just like to know what may be causing the dead spots on the leaves.

He does not communicate

I’m asking an honest question and looking for answers: are ALL men emotionally constipated? Are ALL men unable to think on a deeper level and understand the needs and emotions of their wife? Are they unable to understand the difference between accusatory dialogue like, “well i dont like it when you do such and such” versus dialogue talking about each other’s desires and helping understand your wife’s feelings and what you can do to better things in the relationship…. I’m tired of bashing my head against the wall trying to make this man understand that I just want him to sit down and listen like he cares about my feelings and can talk to me on an emotional level about us. He thinks every conversation has to be about throwing swords at each other, whereas I want a conversation about our desires and wants in our marriage and how we could be better for one another and how we can improve ourselves and how much we love the other person…
I want him to stop working at his job, stop doing projects around the house and stop watching Netflix and act like he actually cares that I’m a member of our household.
He’s like a cardboard box.
tl;dr— are ALL men unable to communicate on a deeper level and not just about whether they took the trash out or not?
