That looks fantastic

I don’t have any onions either

Ugh, yeah, I have to go sort my id too

Yeah I’m sick of it and off doing something else. Not participating. I just wish it was interaction as normal

He claims to have been framed

Urgh. My online friends are doing drama again. There are instigators who genuinely are being cunts but everyone else keeps reacting and feeding into it which keeps the cycle going.

I’m just gonna be over here trying to live.

I bought some cheap kids pencils for a few dollars because I want some I wouldn’t be bothered by losing or using up, and am swatching them to see how they stack up against the crap $15 ones.

Trying to stay up to try and fix my sleep schedule but I don’t think it’s going to work. At least it might push the window to having a little more daytime wakefulness

Both boys point at the other

How are you making them?

I do apple cider vinegar and water in a narrow necked water bottle with a few drops of dish soap. The smelly malic acid of the vinegar attracts them, the narrow neck makes it hard to fly out and the soap breaks the surface tension of the water so they drown.

Boiling water down the sinks also kills them as they breed in there

I forgot to get garlic

Ah ok sweet. This had actually been a science experiment in dish detergent being damaging to plants because of breaking up the lipids in its cell membrane or something so it was probably made strongish. I forget the ratio.

I just forced myself out to the shop to see if they had any organic spray but no. I forgot to get garlic… but I did manage to find some nasturtium seeds and some alyssum seeds to attract good bugs. No marigolds tho

This guy is talking sense. Unfortunately it probably won’t change.

Are you sure? I was going to do this with garlic and dish soap but a bit worried about hurting the plants. Heard it’s bad for them and the ones I used to use dish soap solution on looked kinda damaged 😭

New male flowers popped overnight with a female one getting ready to open. Not seeing any pollen tho.

I am seeing what is probably thrips

Oh man I can’t imagine maintaining anything exotic

I love animals so much. All of them but cats are the best

Edit: Hmm. Hot day ahead. I might peg out this wet washing now so I don’t have to do it in the sun. Currently night owling. Maybe I’ll knock out another load now just to empty this stupid hamper faster.

Ugh. I had washed some poster paint off a tshirt to save it from staining but left it sitting wet for days and it reeks. I’m soaking it but don’t think I want it to go through my washing machine. Might just throw it out.

I hope the washer isn’t bothering the neighbours fish (seen in window). I’d have fish for Melbcat to watch but could not manage the regular tank maintenance so I don’t.

I hope they’re both ok. I don’t always manage to keep up with reading everyone’s comments but wscholermann in particular sounded depressed.

They’re always welcome to come back anytime they wish and I hope everything is alright

Yeah… you’d have to draw out the bitterness like eggplant. Fortunately they supply their own salt

Perhaps your in laws can help. We can add mushrooms

opens pie shop

That’s valid. I even used to make one pot meals in a saucepan with a lid. Maybe you can get a basic beater you don’t really care about from the op shop and donate it back when you move.

Making separate rice and viands means there will be enough for a few meals which reduces washing.

Storage is annoying… I found saucepans can fit in the oven for storage but I had to take the lids off (as I left the oven racks in). You can hang pots as well
