Suffer?
No, rather enjoys it.
“Odd, but if you look closely into the depths of these puddles you notice some things that are sort of green and purple polkadotted with three eyestalks peering back at you. I’m not sure if I should tell anyone about them or not.. “
Spawn of the Elder Things.
Pay them no mind.
Yeah, some people were curious about my Kearen when she was alive.
I let her out of her carrier whereupon she flumphed herself down and stared at the room as if the very sight of it pained her.
She then condescended to allow someone to give her scritches.
Then when the vet said she had ot come in, she gave that offended huff that said she was busy tending her subjects.
“You’re a great guy”
That’s open for bedate, er, debate.
Ribbit?
I dunno anymore.
It will be a great day when I don’t wake up babblign about whatever horrid thing I was dreaming about.
“Watch out for the nomme-go-nommes!”
I still have no idea what that was about.
You have to. It sounds like one of those “reason you’re here” kinda things. Just be there. :-)
Happy Spring to you Sandy in the rain! Tulips make up for sunshine. :-)
Did you invent Blgthrgths, or is that what your smart phone said?
Invented it due to imagining the sounds someone would make while being attacked by an angry wet towel.
*sigh*
I should be ashamed of the weirdness running rampant through my head.
If I could offload it all for a day and just sit calmly in my own head without a million terrors of thought marching through with signs saying “look at us! look at us! We are weird and runnign teh show hah hah!” it would be nice.
Just once.
I’d probably be very bored.
What FReepers really want to know is.... who the heck is weatherman?
Heading to bed.
Tomorrow will be an annoying day.
“Just once. ~ I’d probably be very bored.”
It would be nice to be able to turn it on and off though, wouldn’t it.
A good night to you.
“Catch and release outside ONLY!! However, you may take them as far away from your domicile as you wish. But NO KILL!!”
Any chance you can find a way to apply this plan to zone 4b?
If I put a spider outside in the winter, it will freeze to death.
Oh, the Spidanatie!
LOL, good one!
Well, in the winter, I put them in the basement. Plenty of bugs down there.
I use the catch-in-a-transparent-jar technique. The critters are usually spotted at night, so I just leave them in the jar until the next day.
Then, in mid-day, I put them out in a shrubbery area, especially one with a layer of leaves.
My thinking is, that if they can find their way under the leaves, they may be able to find the improvised safety they require. The rest is up to them.
Quck!
Duck in here!
That's the perfect solution... Unless you have a basement in which your pipes freeze in the winter, it's warm enough. We seem to have bloodsuckers, er, mosquitoes year round down there (not saying that it's wet, but it's ... wet). Right now the frogs seem to be on vacation, so that leaves the bug catching totally up to the spiders.
Now, if only we could get some spiders that catch those pesky stinkbugs we got swarmed by last fall...
Our basement is warm and dry. It’s about 1500 sq ft, and most of it is finished. It has a mother-in-law apartment and an enormous rec room, all carpeted and cozy. Oh, and spider webs here and there.
The unfinished part has a tool shop and the HVAC.
It was damp when we moved in, but we adjusted the humidity (don’t know why the previous owners never thought of that - the adjustment is right there in plain sight on the unit), sealed off the mouse-egress holes and evicted the little stinkers, and it has been quite pleasant there ever since.
I’m sorry to hear that you have a mosquito problem in your basement. We’re still trying to solve the ladybird beetle infestations every fall.
