She was putting him down all the time - I couldn't stand it. Now they no longer invite me to their cook-outs. And while I sometimes miss the food, as she's a really good cook, I certainly do not miss the fighting.

That's why I rarely kill the spiders in my home. They sure take out any flies quickly. Just talked to some guys who were really annoyed by a drama and woe me queen. I'm in the same group, and I even offered some advice to that person - she never bothered me. It seems, however, that she's been spamming others with messages. I feel that I no longer attract that kind of personality, that kind of depression troll.

I too cannot stand the "ours is better, bigger, or We did that too, or such. Braggarts are stupid pointless people that I have no time for at all. We have a black rat snake living here. we thought it was a racer, but is it shiny - glossy in fact. Rat snakes are voracious predators, eating anything they can get in their mouths. Bye bye chipmunks, mice and other annoying things. The rat snake is also much less likely to be aggressive - it will avoid any confrontation with things larger than it. I am approximately fifteen times larger than one, by weight.. probably a lot lot more than than by size. nondisclosed_email@example.com (muladzh)Tue, 10 Jun 2014 18:19:05 +0000 Re: Talk about anything on Earth thread!https://bthepaganporch.runboard.com/p247343,from=rss#post247343https://bthepaganporch.runboard.com/p247343,from=rss#post247343Try playing with the wind.. gets interesting in a storm.

It disturbs thousands of shiny black round beetles, that bite. I get covered in the bloody things, and get literally hundreds of small red dots all over me - they get into clothing, footwear, and my beard..... Annoying little bastards..... I have been trying to communicate with them since we moved in, but so far, no luck. I can reason with the wasps and bees, and with the big beetles to a certain extent but those little biting buggers are deaf. Saw a very long black snake exiting the crawl space this morning. This means that there won't be many mice around, which is good. Hopefully it can get the chipmunk that likes to cause mayhem under there. nondisclosed_email@example.com (muladzh)Sun, 08 Jun 2014 19:10:50 +0000 Re: Talk about anything on Earth thread!https://bthepaganporch.runboard.com/p247324,from=rss#post247324https://bthepaganporch.runboard.com/p247324,from=rss#post247324I'll do that. Sometimes, I try to put a shield on my balcony, to stop the wind driving in the rain (my protective tarp is torn, need to replace it). Hasn't worked so far. But since there is always wind around the office building where I work (14 stories will do that), I can get plenty of practice. I'm also thinking about what people call the law of attraction. I believe it works, but in a specific way. Wishing works - when you don't focus on lacking what you wish for. If you wish in a fun, happy and completely detached way, then it happens. Practicing that, as well. nondisclosed_email@example.com (Firlefanz)Sun, 08 Jun 2014 06:29:00 +0000 Re: Talk about anything on Earth thread!https://bthepaganporch.runboard.com/p247319,from=rss#post247319https://bthepaganporch.runboard.com/p247319,from=rss#post247319Try playing with the wind.. gets interesting in a storm. nondisclosed_email@example.com (muladzh)Sat, 07 Jun 2014 18:33:27 +0000 Re: Talk about anything on Earth thread!https://bthepaganporch.runboard.com/p247316,from=rss#post247316https://bthepaganporch.runboard.com/p247316,from=rss#post247316I enjoy doing it in a benign way. Like the rain we got on Thurday - a gentle rain, ready to soak the parched earth rather than the downpours they predicted. It started before I had to go to work but I kind of knew I would walk to work in rain. The extra hour was needed. And it stopped when I wanted it to stop, as I was leaving work. And I got home from town five minutes before a serious downpour, which did no harm as the ground had opened up in the morning and could absorb the rain. It's fun. nondisclosed_email@example.com (Firlefanz)Sat, 07 Jun 2014 17:43:02 +0000 Re: Talk about anything on Earth thread!https://bthepaganporch.runboard.com/p247314,from=rss#post247314https://bthepaganporch.runboard.com/p247314,from=rss#post247314Nothing wrong with that, girl, we do that everywhere we go, I do not like getting wet.

I have noticed that there are more and more people writing books about things they really don't know anything about. Mainly diet or magic.. Too many people think they know about nutrition but prove otherwise within two chapters of the new book they are pushing. Magic is even worse - Quick rule of thumb. A written down spell will never work... If you don't make up the spell, and fill it with your energy, you are going to fail. A grimoire used to be a book of ideas, written by an ancient practitioner who really did do magic. They never had spells in them - to write them down and keep them makes them invalid, so modern writers got it wrong. Most annoying. Light bulbs... Why did the current government decide to ban light bulbs? The good old fashioned incandescent type? It would be far more use banning the use of gas guzzlers - that would save billions of dollars over a ten year period. Force vehicle makers to make efficient engines.. They do it really well in Europe, why not here? and leave the light bulbs alone. If you are like me, and don't like the curly fluorescent lamps or the harsh LED ones, buy appliance bulbs - you can't put either of the other type into an oven and expect it to work, so Appliance bulbs, from 7W to 40WWill always be made. That and antique bulbs - GE make some, and they will always be made. Christmas bulbs are still being made the old way, buy up a bunch of them, and have red night lights.. We have decided that when all the alternatives are gone, leaving only the fluorescent curly bulbs and LED, we will start using the Aladdin kerosene lamps we have, and go to bed early. We both hate the way the modern alternatives make our eyes feel. nondisclosed_email@example.com (muladzh)Thu, 05 Jun 2014 23:12:11 +0000
