Sacrifice the 10ml steeped for a seed and new mix will steep in half the time.

I thought about doing that, but it steeps pretty fast using that little blender thing. I’m surprised that makes such a difference.

The sun is supposed to come out and no rain forecast for today. The yard is too muddy to work out there yet but I bought some plants at the local greenhouse so I can get started as soon as possible.

I’d like to get out to Magee Marsh for some Birding but I need to find out if the road is still flooded. I know others are going out, and I could manage in the truck but I’d kind of like to take the car. Easier to park.

I contacted AsMODus about that green Colossal - the first one with the bad screen - and it was no longer under warranty, but they will give you $20 for old or broken mods. Just so happens, they had another 30% off sale, and a sale on Lunas, which can be stacked. So I have another on the way.

Good morning shiners! Crappy weather here today. Nothing new to play with so time to do some software updates I've been procrastinating on.

Standard rule: talk at the animals all you want, but if they talk back seek medical help.

They talk back! LOL to the best of their ability. I mean the cockroach just kind of emanated this general "I am black and trying to eat but I am also tired" kind of vibe.

My favorite critter to talk to was my son's dog, we would have LONG conversations about how keeping him out of trouble was SO hard. LOL that dog loved me.

I like to think it's a vivid imagination but I could be fooling myself. I mean when my brother talked to an "entity" as a kid my mom was like "I think it's spirituality and he's talking to God." And I was like, "OKAY mom but ruling out psychosis might be you know, wise." (She did not listen.)

I'm about as treated as I'm gonna get though. LOL. My doc says it's fine and to use my imagination all I want.

Lithium eats your kidneys, not your liver. It is one of the few medications that is processed by your kidneys not your liver.

However, it is a rough med, but dosing is important. I did not gain a jillion pounds, but I will say the teeth thing (actually as rare as hens teeth) and the fine motor tremor suck.

It's just that being slightly hypomanic half the year and deeply suicidal the other half SUUUUCKS.

I tried everything else possible before giving up and giving in. But there are far worse things than lithium and that thing would be Depakote (which also doesn't treat suicidality.)

My kidneys are fine and the one good thing about taking it later in life is I will have more functional years on lithium and I have already lived the rotten ones.

You know I think you're on to something about cockroaches. I remember when I was 17 and went on holiday with my parents to Treasure Island in Florida. Parents cleared off to some restaurant and I stayed in the hotel. I was all comfy with a gargantuan packet of paprika potato chips and a bottle of cola watching TV. First sign of things going wrong was Stephen King's IT and Tim Curry's freaky clown (don't trust clowns) scaring the crap out of me. Next thing I know there's this huge thing about a foot long with dirty great antennae crawling across the wall. I'd never seen a cockroach and I was petrified. It was like some alien thing from the outer reaches and I knew it was studying me and if I really thought about it I suspect it was saying "I can see you kid and I want those potato chips".

Almost unable to move due to sheer terror it crept closer and I summoned the courage to hurl the unopened packet of Twinkies which I was planning on stuffing my face with at it. It scurried away and bunkered itself in the smoke detector. But I just knew that when I went to sleep that night it would be moving around again saying "you bought yourself time kid, but when you're sleeping I'm going to crawl into one of your ears or up your nose and suck out your brains".

A vivid imagination is a wonderful thing but to a kid it can be very freaky, fortunately I confessed this tale of terror to my Dad when he returned and he promptly opened the smoke detector and flattened the thing with one of his slippers. And so the Night of the Cockroach was over.

Nope. It was dying.

Old 1960’s knowledge about roaches imparted to me by a USDA roach expert when I was a child. My dad liked to talk a lot. It’s only one of his bad habits I picked up.
Cockaroaches only crawl on corners. It’s a hardwired imperative. They’re very edible and evolved lo live in leaf litter on the forest floor. As such they’re not so much nocturnal as light hating, and they like to be touching at least two surfaces at all times. Their favorite thing is tubes. That’s how roach motels work. If you open one up it’s designed to have all sorts of nooks and crannies that roaches like to snuggle up to. They fill the nooks with poison. Roaches are highly poison resistant and the only thing that works on em anymore are neurotoxins. Neurotoxins are slow and they’re ugly. First they drive the victim insane, then they create crippling muscle spasms they rip them apart from the inside. The Geneva convention bans this stuff on humans entirely, and it’s why everyone got so mad when the Syrian monarchy started dropping it on population centers.
Your roach had maybe an hour to live. It was maddened enough it actually walked up a wall with only one surface for protection

 

[stols001]

Uh... More information than I actually needed about roaches.

Like... Highly edible?? People EAT them? OMG OMG

Wait. I am no longer afraid. I could eat a roach if I.... Well I'd have to be really hungry. Starving kind of hungry. It would also.... Someone else would have to cook it.

I don't mind eating an ant. I've even had at one of them "scorpion" lollipops that they sell at the Airport in Tucson and other "touristy" areas but I am really having trouble wrapping my mind around a cockroach.

And also that it's almost time to do notes/bathe and not in that order.

I just... glugh.

I do have to say that short story about turning into a cockroach is one of my favorites. It's just so vividly descriptive of a really miserable guy going "I am going to write something miserable and weird but also EPIC," but I could sooner imagine BEING a cockroach than eating one.

I'm not afraid but I feel a bit pukey

Got one. Haven’t used it yet. Looks like a kind of condensed aromamizer plus with a 5ml capacity. It’s a lot smaller than the plus though.

Adios. Too much to do to ignore have a happy day of purchasing shinies.

After my nic and snus I gotta wait some TIME.

Of course you have. Hence the title, lol.
Good aromamizer for out and about, especially if very high viscosity liquid is your thing.
Just thought I'd share as the sale email from health cabin has a pic with no info and a dead link.
Hopefully it will help someone out. For reference it was just over £13 UK with delivery. They also have the vaperesso nrg coils that are well liked for $7.99 a pack should anyone want to stock up.

yeah. TMI was pretty much my childhood

Like... Highly edible?? People EAT them? OMG OMG

monkeys eat them anyway, which is close enough for evolutionary standards. I don’t know of any of us hairless monkeys that do, but chimps think they’re awesome. Basically everything eats roaches that can catch them

Wait. I am no longer afraid. I could eat a roach if I.... Well I'd have to be really hungry. Starving kind of hungry. It would also.... Someone else would have to cook it.

they turned it into a play at one point and hired mikail barishnikov to play the cockroach which he did through interpretive dance. Only interpretive dance I’ve ever even heard of that wasn’t stupid. Apparently it was amazing

You know like, I lived in Sydney for SEVERAL years in middle school and not suburbia either I'd go swim where there were sharks and jelly fish and like, go riding out in the bush and stuff. I never saw a SINGLE terrible thing except a few funnel web spiders. And also, they would grab and air bubble and sink to the bottom of our swimming pool. NOTHING bit me. NOT ONCE.

Tucson doesn't have quite the same safety record I'm afraid. I sort of think that like, the beasties there are as angry as the inhabitants. The BEST thing about Tucson wildlife were the Coyotes, and that's only because we conversed.

Although, ever since like, I pretty much told that LAST live cockroach that "it could go kill itself and we were EQUAL we were BOTH dying only it was UGLY" I have yet to encounter another live one. A few dead ones, but no live ones.

Course, I kind of talked to it like a middle school aged girl, with withering jaded sarcasm.

I was a middle school aged girl in Sydney, maybe it's just that like EVERYONE fears the wrath of a middle school aged girl, even vermin.

All I know is, I'm going to be doing some experimental conversing with the critters around here. I have already met my firs Douglas coyote and he was majestic (mentally) compared to the coyotes in Tucson. They were like, mental in ......ation compared to my Douglas guy, he was pretty sweet.

Obviously we've nothing nasty over here. Only one poisonous snake and his bite is no worse than a wasp sting.
We actually foster hedgehogs that have been kept as pets and abandoned (currently 17 in vivariums in the spare bedroom).
We're also lucky this year. A Fox (vixen) has given birth to a pair of cubs under our shed. Lovely to watch them play in the morning or evening.
I shall post some pics soon.

All of our foxes have moved to better hunting grounds, miss watching the babies grow up under the streetlights. They sneak out when mom is hunting. Been nice to see the rabbits making a comeback; the foxes will probably be back in a couple of years again. We had a groundhog that was living in the plant for about a year but now that we are pouring vaults he's moved on.

Iirc hedgehogs are big insectivores. You should be cockroach free with all of those.

Hey @Skunk! when you bought the last stock here INR 18650 Batteries 2500mAh 20A (x2) what did you think about their service?(the store)

RatShack rebranded batteries...

"Radioshack 2500mAh 18650 batteries, long lasting, from a name you trust." I wouldn't buy from a store that would even consider selling those, no matter what actual cell was under that wrapper.
