Gfted1 Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 Recently I noticed my cats had trapped a spider, so I grabbed a wad of tp, gently picked up the spider, and took it outside. When I unwadded the tp IT WAS COMPLETELY GONE! Im pretty sure it laid eggs on me somewhere. 3 1 "I'm your biggest fan, Ill follow you until you love me, Papa" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LadyCrimson Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 Majestic's spider would not bother me at all, even in the house. The one Gorth posted would not bother me at all and I would find it quite interesting ... but from over there. If I saw one in the house it'd be broom swept into a giant glass jar and tossed outside with a stern warning to never come back inside. >.> 3 “Things are as they are.

LadyCrimson Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 (edited) Fed the squirrels. Fed myself. (Edit: cauliflower, broccoli, mushroom, onions, sausage/hamburger crumbled mix, chicken stock/sour cream sauce/cheese) Boredom breeds vanity selfies. Although less vanity and more "should I cut my hair off again and F it's so grey now". Some people pay a lot of money for thin highlight streaking. When you age, you get it for free!

Nothing demonstrates living like Vegas I have mentioned this before but I have been fortunate enough to go their 3 times back in the days when American global software companies incentivized their partners by trips to Vegas. Due to cost cutting its not as common I loved Vegas, it was everything I thought it would be but more I wouldnt want to live their but to visit for 5-7 days is worth it "Abashed the devil stood and felt how awful goodness is and saw Virtue in her shape how lovely: and pined his loss” John Milton "We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” - George Bernard Shaw "What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived.

LadyCrimson Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 (edited) I've been to Vegas once. All I remember is the (early) 3D theater IMAX we saw (these heavy duty headpiece/glasses you had to wear), this cheap hotel we were in (we weren't "well off" then) and that hubby fell sick with a bad flu while there. Maybe we went to some show but I can't remember. I think we liked the outlying desert areas more than the city itself. Not surprising with who we are. I do like slot machines tho. Well, the ones before they turned digital and all of that, anyway. And the nickel, maybe quarter ones at max, so you didn't lose a fortune in 5 minutes. I'll stick to slots in something like Borderlands, it's cheaper. Edited May 6, 2022 by LadyCrimson 1 “Things are as they are.

Gromnir Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 vegas has excellent restaurant options, arguable challenging new york, san francisco, chicago and new orleans for the title o' best US food city. we don't gamble and most vegas shows ain't our thing, but am admitting vegas is worth the trip for culinary adventurers. HA! Good Fun! ps our actual favorite destination for dining experiences in the western hemisphere is mexico city which also turns out to be one o' the cheaper options for high-end dining. typical we go to ixtapa when we visit mexico, but from there we inevitable make the trip to mexico city (a full day's drive) to indulge our gastronomical needs. 1 "If there be time to expose through discussion the falsehood and fallacies, to avert the evil by the processes of education, the remedy to be applied is more speech, not enforced silence."Justice Louis Brandeis, Concurring, Whitney v.

Hurlshort Posted May 6, 2022 Author Share Posted May 6, 2022 I love my trips to Vegas with the wife. The food is probably the second biggest draw. It's also nice to get away from kids for a bit after spending the full year educating and raising them. Plus the hotels are inexpensive midweek and usually pretty nice.
