Put a little barbecue sauce and hey, why not?

I enjoyed handling my friends tarantula BUT eating a spider, nope, ain't happening. When I was a young kid I used to eat some bugs and worms off of the dares of my friends. Won some cash off of the dares too.

 

[Resistance]

Would it be called "Pig-Spider" or "Spider-Pig"?

Junior-"Pig-Spider" or "Spider-Pig"

My husband just looked at me and said "You have to be 10 years old to determine that a banana split would make a good dinner"... hahaha I have no earthly idea what's wrong with him, I'm clearly 52!

Haha..

I watch shows like Naked and Afraid and Alone... man after they go a week or two without food they decide everything is fair game...

But like them, I'd had to be quite literally starving... lol... and even then id go ewww...

Oddly though, when my daughter was little she would eat fire ants when she was playing outside because they were "spicy" and she liked them.. haha

20 years ago, while pregnant with my first, I was bit by a poisonous spider on my right cheek just below my eye while in my sleep...thankfully I'm high allergic to all bug bites (I react badly even to mosquito bites, doc said if I ever get stung by a bee I better be at the hospital) because it started swelling immediately and the swelling cut the poison off in it's place, otherwise it would have gone into my eye and brain.
woke up with this golf ball sized knot under my eye where the poison was eating away at the skin but couldn't get further because the swelling stopped it.
had to go to the hospital where I had to lay still while they used this huge ... needle to drain it
doc said I was very lucky due to my allergy it saved my eye and my life. They couldn't tell me what spider did it though just that it was obviously poisonous. I still have a little scar where it bit me.

Totally the same as you. Pretty bad fear of spiders. It didn’t help that I was bit in the forearm by a possible recluse spider a few years ago.

I ended up in the ER with severe cellulitis and my entire arm flaming red/purple, swollen, painful and itchy beyond belief.

I was miserable for weeks with the itching which kept me awake every night. And I couldn’t scratched it because it was too painful to touch.

So it just reinforced my fear of the little monsters!!

Oh man those are horrific experiences...

So glad your still with us @Shadav !

I couldn't go a week without food unless I had to for some reason. If I was on that show, by day #2 I would be digging up worms and maggots to eat. Worms are a good source of protein and they're juicy too. Yum!

BTW, a banana split sounds like a good dinner.

Same kale, different day

Better and better..... awesome

 

[charlie1465]

Just by the description, it sounds like a delicious vape! If you ever come out with a recipe, please post it! I actually have all those flavors and would never have thought of that combo. Could you list the flavors by prominence?

When I get the concentrate I'll see if I can come up with something and I'll let you know my thoughts....all I know at the moment is that if @Robfisher likes it then I want to try it.

Yep me too...I had a survival training phase and ate several bugs and butterflies shamefully!! Highly nutritious apparently

I'm knackered....see you soon

I've spent my life doing short term fasts periodically, so I can go a week on water alone without worry. I went 14 days on water alone once, but that was far more difficult.

After a general week I really don't know what I'd be like looking for food...

Someone might have already said this but that’s the first picture of kale I actually find beautiful.

How many pictures of kale have you seen?

 

[DeloresRose]

How many pictures of kale have you seen?

Probably, like me, not many. But there’s something special about seeing it in the wild, roaming free.

 

[Pigs]

@Pigs can you send the picture and video to a wildlife agency? It would be kind of neat to find a new one and have it named after you.

I've already sent it to the biologist/arachnologist who wrote the best field guide to Aus spiders but he doesn't know what it is. I'm going to contact another arachnologist at one of the Sydney universities today. Hopefully she knows - if not, my son claims naming rights.

 

[Pigs]

I know that the national museum in Canberra has a bug guy who you can send pictures and stuff to for ID. Unsure if Melbourne has similar. Years since I went there and I don't think they are so focused on Australian history and Fauna

Thanks @Doffy . I'll definitely give that a go.

I use both of the ceramics at .3 ohms and the other .5 ohms

I use the G2 coils at .4 ohms.

I don’t often vape anything under .3 ohms but I do have a few of the others from when I was vaping .15 or .2 ohms.

in other words, the GT coils are very good imo for flavor and longevity even with all the sweet juices I use.

Did you end up getting anymore from Sourcemore?

I didn’t yet. I have a pretty good collection already. I’ve noticed also that the coils last a long time. The .15 are good coils also but the ccell seems to last the longest for me.

True. I'm more used to seeing tame kale.

Haha. Just the ones in the health food ads with tough unappealing leaves in studio lighting.
