I'm writing this Black Friday off. I need to save for my Asia trip.

Don't know the last time I bought anything on bf.

I won't be allowed to wear T-shirts to work anymore. Sad story, I know.

Funny you say this, because today I'm testing the t-shirt with Robert Geller richard jacket combo at work - I'll let you know if I get away with it


edit: My hibiscus plant isn't doing so well, can anyone identify what's wrong with it?? The leaves look like they have dirt or rust on them

Is there a hibiscus doctor in the house?

Looks like a fungus.

If you wipe the leaf with your hand and the black stuff comes off and it's grainy b/t your fingers, then it's probably aphid poop, meaning aphid infestation.

This happened to one of my plants.

Things I read online that I tried:
1) Spray the leaves, underside too, with a mixture of dish soap and water every few days to kill the aphids. (What I found: I didn't think it did much, but it's easy to do and probably killed some.)

2) Sprinkle diatomaceous earth all over the plant every few days (Probably works well, but I only did this once because I was afraid of inhaling the stuff.)

3) What I think saved my plant was I just took better care of it, and let it try to overcome the infestation itself. I went online to find soil mixture recommendations, made my own soil and changed out the cheap store soil. I put the plant in a sunny corner. I made sure not to overwater. Plant's doing well now. Still aphid poop on a few leaves so they're still around, but the plant seems like it's shrugging them off; it's making a lot of new leaves.

Anyone bought from Guerilla Group before, and had it shipped to the US? Any idea how long it takes?

I've bought from them a couple times; shipping was quick, give or take a week.

Agreed - it looks like aphids rather than fungus. The plant's probably weak which is why it's being attacked so much. Check surrounding plants too. Wiping the leaves with a cotton bud using an 8 part water to 1 part methalayted spirits and three good drops of washing up liquid should help kill them off, but for such an infestation the plant is probably weak - could be over-feeding and too much young growth (reduce feeding for a while), could be underfeeding (If you haven't been feeding at all give it a light feed, preferably not too high in nitrogen).. Could be lack of light producing weak growth, could be it needs a better draining soil mix.

You could also buy a few hundred live ladybugs from amazon to unleash on the aphids.

Will be going for a trip to Seoul tomorrow.


Anything interesting to seek out for style and fashion over there? Sincere thanks.


Note: please don't ask me to collect refunds from that TOJ guy. LOL!

There's also a ton of feeding damage on the leaves. They are almost transparent.

If its aphids you should be able to see them, small green bugs.

All your gear is tight-fitting for a reason:
