Is my scotch bonnet plant dying?
A few days ago the plant looked droopy and I thought it was gonna die. Its not drooping anymore but the leaves have got these yellow marks on them?
Is this a disease?

TLDR: My coworker has started publicly asking me if I’m sick whenever I come into the office. Even when I’m perfectly healthy. I’m looking for a witty comeback for the next time she asks.
(We meet at office once a week)
I have an annoying coworker who is such a bootlicker of the boss. She tries to do everything the boss does and be everything like him.
My boss is a germaphobe (but he's also very polite& gentle) so she has been pretending to be one as well. Its so annoying.
For the past few weeks, everytime I go to office, she asks loudly infront of everyone, "are you sick?" Or, "you're not sick, right?". One time I had a mild cold and knowing what these guys are like, went to office with a mask on (I would've happily stayed back but that was my team mate's farewell). She saw me coming in, made a whole show of freaking out, told me not to take my mask off and then, she wore a mask as well.
Whats a good comeback for when she asks me whether im sick again, for no good reason?
Btw, she's such a narcissist and is very bossy with everyone else in the team. She cant do that with me since both of us are in the same high ranking positions for different teams. I feel like this is her way of getting back at me.

Finally, Who is your favourite Qur'an translator? Have you come across a translation that's easy to comprehend?
Hi guys,
Planting beginner here. I tried planting tomatoes and green chillies from some seeds I had in the kitchen but they didnt germinate.
I dont remember the exact sand mix but made sure it was loose and well draining. Watered it daily, left it out in the sun for about 4-6 hours.
What should I have done differently?
FYI, I also planted okra and beans from store bought seeds around the same time and these plants have grown. My first okra has started to grow as well.
Asking this now bcz I bought a variety of chilli thats so hard to find and wanna try planting them.
TIA
This evening, I came out here to water my plants and lo and behold, my okra leaves have brown spots on them. It didnt look this way when I watered them yesterday evening. Whats the reason for this? And what should I do?
For some background info, my okra are planted in well draining soil. (I cant remember the exact potting mix I used but probably about 30% compost, 40% top soil and 40% sand). I give it about 2 cups of water once a day, usually in the evening and it gets a full round of direct sunlight everyday.
Hi guys,
I posted here before about just starting gardening to protect my mental health. I came out here to water my plants and lo and behold, my okra leaves have brown spots on them. It didnt look this way when I watered them yesterday evening. Whats the reason for this? And what should I do???

Hi guys,
Im (28f) new here. Ive been tryna lose weight ever since I had my second kid. He's 2 and a half now. I breastfed him until he was 2, and I used to eat pretty carelessly during those 2 years.
I'm 5'2 and currently 68kg. My goal is to reduce atleast 10kgs. I started reducing my carb intake and avoiding sugar as much as possible. Ive also upped my protein and Fibre intake. I used to be such a caffeine addict but I've considerably reduced that as well.
I was consistent with this for the last 3 weeks, but today, I had an ice cream and a little more carbs for dinner too.
I tend to get Sugar cravings during PMS too.
My question is how do I beat sugar cravings in order to stay consistent with my diet?
I've been a mom of 2 boys for the last 5 years and man, my life turned over ever since I had them. My life doesnt feel like it belongs to me anymore.
But I'm curious, have y'all noticed anything different about us, apart from less sex and constant exhaustion?

I'm at my wits end! Question in the title. Any helpful advice highly appreciated.
When my first born was in the hitting phase, we were completely non reactive and very soon it ended. That doesn't seem to be working this time. Every time my 2yr old hits/scratches his brother, my 5yr old, understandably so, screams "moooooooooooom!!!". My 2yr old seems to love the attention so this won't stop unless we do something about it. My 5yr old doesn't hit back yet but just complains or cries.
​
How can I handle this in a way that's fair by both kids?

I am SO mad rn! After 5 days of complete exhaustion, me and my husband try to relax and stay in on Saturdays and spend some time as a family. Relaxing is definitely not easy with our 2 year old. We just woke up, had our coffee, dealt with an early morning tantrum and breakfast was getting made, and my dad walks in, unannounced, with a plumber to repair a leak. Bro! Atleast give us a call before you come! Have some basic manners! Here i am, dressed up all comfortable (and revealing) and hiding inside my own home!
​
The thing is, my husband couldn't find a good plumber for a very long time and who ever comes in couldnt find or fix the exact problem. My dad's the swoop-in-for-a-rescue kinda guy! Anytime he sees an opportunity to "help" someone, he swoops in and then BAM! You owe him for the rest of your life! Probably because he thinks he's doing something super helpful for us (which he is, i dont deny it), he thinks he can walk in any time!
Aaaaaaaarggghhhhh!!!! So frustrating!
On a different note, this week has been so hard for me, mentally and emotionally, and I've been struggling with WFH + taking care of the kids at the same time! I was afraid that I was becoming a danger to my kids and I just wanted to spend some time with my husband and refill my tank a little bit. I do know that the leak has to be fixed too and we've had a hard time finding someone to do it. Im not being ungrateful. My head is just gonna explode!!!

We live in the tropics and wanna know what vegetables/fruits i can plant that will withstand/thrive in humid and hot climates. Ofcourse i will be watering them but the weather is turning extremely hot day after day.
​
I'm an amateur at gardening and started last month to save my mental health. 3 out of 4 of my plants germinated (for some unknown reason my tomato seeds didn't germinate). I will be transferring these shoots in the outdoors soon. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

TIA
