It was a bit of a joke. I was raised to like insects. It failed with roaches actually. I hate roaches too. Had a bad experience when I was a kid.
Caution: if you didn’t like the other roach stuff you will like this less.. do not read.
When my dad was doing research at Harvard in 1976 he needed insect brains in quantity. To get them he raised a type of cockroach called an American longhorn, which was unusually large and had exceptionally large antennae longer than their bodies (hence the name).
Anyway they had a lot of what he was looking for, but roaches are still small and he needed a lot of material. So he had several 40 gallon fish tanks and fed them dog food. 2 inches deep with roaches and Vaseline smeared around the inside edge of the tank so they couldn’t crawl out. A whole lot of big black roaches.
Anyway they pooped so the tanks needed to be cleaned regularly and I as a cute toe headed 3rd grader and a favorite of his post docs who were doing the cleaning. I was invited to participate. I chose the wrong tool.
It went badly. I picked a flyswatter because all bugs had to be afraid of flyswatters right? In my defense I was 8. Anyway when I attempted to push the roaches into the carrier to empty the tank they simply crawled up the flyswatter onto my arm in a giant wave. My entire arm was covered in roaches.
It was a bit traumatizing. To me most insects are still just really neat. Big spiders? Those long legged centipedes you find in wet basements? Totally cool. Roaches? To this day Not so much.
For your afternoon vaping pleasure, a little Rammstein Du Hast in a Bossa Nova Style.
That works so well together.
Notes were horrifying. The ones I could still DO. Heh. I have 14 outstanding for the week INCLUDING one I asked to be unlocked ONCE already (they self lock after 48 hours) so I'm going to have to ASK AGAIN. Some, it was like a race against time.
I think I may focus less on Spanish and more on notes in the evening but it's so GRIM. Doing notes after dark I mean. Course, so are weekend mornings like mine.
@bombastinator the answer to your question about abilify is so length and off topic it's going on my blog if I can figure that out. LOL.
Shiny days ahead for all I hope!

If anyone who likes very flavorful single coil RDAs finds an Elder Dragon on sale then I suggest to buy one or even two. It’s become one of my favorite RDAs and find myself constantly reaching for it!
Plus it looks awesome on the SL Class

Nice SL Class stabwood there @Fidola13, have you ventured into TC with it?
I went to look I think it’s a preorder. I asked to be notified. I have 3 but wouldn’t mind a 4th @that price.
That is super lovely @Fidola13 .. Instead of the Dancing Queen I am going to dub you the Matching Queen.
I..... Am not. To this day I sometimes have to run work outfits for the week past my husband to make sure they are Strokes of Genius instead of Terribly Frightening.
He hates it. LOL. Today I must have been doing well because he approved of all my new "matches" he was so approving that like I was like, "Are you just so sick of doing this?"
He was like, "Don't be an idiot I hate doing it but I'm not going to let you go to work looking like your accessory would be a cart."
So sweet and touching and yet.... not, at the same time.

I learned everything I know about matching mods and atties on here so I’ll take no credit.
As for clothing- I couldn’t match to save my life lol! That’s why I wear solids pretty much all the time. That’s when I’m out of my “lounge wear” lol!!
12 years of parochial school in a uniform can have that effect sometimes on a young girls fashion development
!!Not fun when they rattle snake on you for the first time @Fidola13, your first thought is that it's broken or you broke it.
Then you mess around a bit and increase the resistance a little and it starts working, at least that's what I've found out.
Also, use joules like watts. Took a fair bit of Googling to find that out, thank you YiHi.

At 8 years old?? Man, at 8 I would have just sprayed a whole can of Raid in there when no one was looking and taking my chances on being found out.
Eskie, you need to do some mediations about cockroaches and fear because yeah I agree with you but I think you may be the person who hates cockroaches (and fears them) the most on this like forum.
Still no live ones sighted although I do agree that was bordering on child abuse, honestly.
I mean, one thing to volunteer you but they should have like, GIVEN you instructions. LOL.

That’s what happened with the 1st SL I bought. I thought it was broken lol! I have a Q Class and for some reason didn’t run into the rattle snaking like I did with the SL.
After reading LOTS of posts here and on Reddit and then a video I found by Yihi on YouTube - I realized I had the joules set too high. I was use to working with a DNA which has a different way of controlling tc as I’m sure you already know. Lol!

I thought roaches were neat too till I was half covered in them. I was in no actual danger. They were literally some of the cleanest roaches on earth at the time. I could have eaten them all and been fine. Didn’t feel like it though. I freaked out kinda bad. Roaches flew everywhere. It was a big mess. I really didn’t belong in that lab.
Aye, DNA and YiHi are totally different beasts @Fidola13.
Same here, DNA first and then YiHi.
Found the fix by accident, just pressed the joystick in and then increased the resistance. Rattle snaking then stopped, so must be errata caused by incorrect reading of resistance. But we can live with it, especially when it can be solved easily.
And which do you think seems to have the edge when it comes to TC? Personally I'm leaning towards YiHi.
