Greetings fellow patriots! Houston we have a problem! A big one. I'm located in South Louisina 337. On February 28 a white SUV pulled up to the house with red DHS lettering with Texas plates. (Texas WTH i thought y'all were with us) I saw them pull in the drive an met them outside at their truck 2 agents late 40s-50s. They say Hi we are here doing a survey. One agent pulls out 3 volumes (looked like phone books almost sizewise) He ruffles through the pages in first then second volume. He finds my list (The 1 that they don't have). he says so we are doing a survey and we are going around visiting everyone and trying to verify if you own or still have these firearms. He proceeds to show me my list. Every gun i bought from a dealer is on this list. Every one from 22s to Mosin Nagants and everything in between. I was blown away and still am. Many bricks have been shat since then! I told them nah i don't have any of those dangerous baby killers gave them all away after Newtown. They left but sat parked down the road for a couple hours. Probably coordinating drone strike. I have ony told a couple of close friends i trust. I've been tryng to keep it together. The first person i told also had a visit exactly 2 weeks before me. He ordered a questionable part off the net an that's what the agents told him they were after. He lives 5 minutes down the road. I was freaked then but I didn't think anything of it you know he brought it on himself. Until i got a visit. All my stuff is legal and above board. No worries on that part. But then why did i recieve a visit? I don't know i've been gripped with fear since. Keeping watch on my porch, almost sleeping outside some nights. And then yesterday my wife's friends parents who are an hour north of us got a visit. Only the mom was home and she told them to hit the street. These people are farmers and have guns but mostly Fudd guns and relics passed down. The father was going somewhere on business this weekend and next week. He cancelled. Even the Fudds aren't safe from this. My only solace in all of this is the 3 massive volumes the jackboots had. I know i'm not the only one. I don't know what to do?! It took this long for me to tell somebody else. My wife and i are scared [crap]less!I'm not sure if they are testing the waters seeing who will comply. Or if it's something else entirely. Why down here? Why not in Commiefornia or one of these other liberal dreamlands? I thougt we were good we just voted to strengthen the 2nd in our state. i just keep saying in my head. WTF?
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.
