    I bought this quantity of super worms for my turtles…

    And omg it’s so much. It’s like a 5gallon bucket full of dehydrated crawlies. I wish I could get that quantity of dried river shrimp, but so so so much more expensive.

    Anyway, I have no idea what I’m going to do with them… I doubt my little 3 inch turtle is going to be able to consume them in the max 10 years he has left… (I had two when I bought them, but the big female died a few months later. No idea what happened, but they were halfway to their max lifespan at the time, and she deteriorated too fast to do anything about it, so…) so I guess feeding them to crows might be a good bet. Get me a corvid following. I’ve always wanted a minion army.

    When I lived down in Houston I made the disturbing discovery that cockroaches in the south of the us are much much larger than the frozen north.

    I also learned that they can fly (Texas has FOUR flying varieties), and will in fact fly right in your balcony door if you leave it cracked for the cat and have a light on inside… they also don’t care about you.

    With a phobia of roaches, let’s just say Texas wasn’t the right state for me…

    I only shave my legs when pulling up my ski socks (knee-high, tight enough to not fall down, but I’ve never been skiing) causes pain from pulled hairs. And sometimes when I go to a pool. So like maybe 5-8 times a year.

    I don’t wear shorts or skirts above the ankle, so I really don’t care most of the time.


  • My trick to not having fur on me is wearing permanent press and other sleek fabrics (spandex blends, silk type feel, or otherwise just smooth). They tend to be less… sticky? Less clingy for hair anyway. And if not those, then very fuzzy fabrics that absorb the hair until it gets washed (comes out in the dryer) or blends in and becomes part of the fabric.

    My couch is covered with a microfiber blanket with the less fuzzy side up (one side is that pilling type of soft fuzz, that side is down, the other side doesn’t pilll and has space between the fibers) and the cat hair sort of sinks into it and comes out in the dryer. I use one of those for my bed as well. It’s not perfect, but it works super well for me. I wash those blankets all at the same time so I don’t have the spreading problem I guess, it also doesn’t really come out until it gets into the dryer.
