Where do SPIDERS go?
Comments (131)Jodik...For some reason, I find spiders on the stairway to the basement. Where it's dark. There's a closet at the bottom where Christmas and Halloween decorations are stored. The spiders love it down there. I'm afraid to remove ornaments for fear a spider will be in a box..lol On the other hand, in our front plant room, where it's bright, spiders make webs behind a large shelf, usually wall corners. I don't know if they're spider webs or or cobwebs..are they the same? Once in a while a baby spider is hidden in the corner walls. It's hard cleaning behind the shelf since there's very little space. The shelf is wide, about 2" from one side of the wall across to the other. Oh God, yes, this old house has many openings. Far too many. If I knew how to fix them I would. My brother lives in a secured Condo..last summer a bat somehow got inside. They believe it snuck in through their exhaust fan. Tropic..your friends are very kind-hearted. They'll be rewarded. We have a couple rescue shelters that take in injured wildlife..This organization nurses wounded animals then releases them in the forest/wooded areas after they're healed. How big was the crocodile? I don't know what feral Cane Toads are. Does Cane Toad look like most other toads? Warty, etc. Do toads bite? Is biting how toads attack turtles and get venom inside their system? The pen you constructed is inside your house? Wow..Cool. lol. Have a picture? LOL, turtle couldn't care less about your landscaping. Do Cane Toads live inside your house, too? If so, how do you keep them from entering the pen? Lol, wildlife allows you to live in 'their' home. lol. I'll have to Google, Butcherbirds. Never heard the type. Why are they called Butcherbirds? A name that includes butcher, well, these birds don't sound very friendly. lol. Millipedes might be harmless in the way of venom, but if a huge 'pede crawled on me I'd pass out. Oh, getting goose bumps thinking about it. lol. Although Carpet Python is colorful, beautiful in fact, I could do without..lol. Spying a CS at the zoo would be fine, but not living in the house. Tropic, what's with the snakes? If you don't mind me asking. Milking spiders..when a spider is going to be milked, espeially after agitating him/her, how does the milker near the spider w/o getting bit? Very dangerous career if you ask me..hope milkers have sufficient health care. Larry..Go to Nam..you'll find two-foot pedes. My dh was in VN..they came across a 2' 'pede. Don't know if it was a millipede or centipede, only that it was huge. Dh said, although the body was 2', its legs were about 4-inches. Where does one keep a 'pede that big? lol. Toni Yuck..the delivery spider truck driver delivers a quart of leggy creatures. lol....See MoreHoya soil requirements
Comments (5)That is funny Florajilly about the Dom Perignon. LOL Your are right though, I think we who have many hoyas are up to spending whatever it takes to keep them happy. I have tried different mixes over the years with different combinations of things. Most work unless you get one too heavy that doesn't dry out well quickly. Some of the ones made for tropicals are good, but must be mixed with more perilte or orchid bark, etc to make them drain better as they are too wet too long otherwise. The thing that erks me the most is that most all of the mixes that the stores carry now come with ADDED ingredients for fertilizers and wetting agents. It is hard to find a good basic mix to start with that isn't full of other stuff you DON"T WANT. Since I add my OWN special fertilizers, I don't want a mix that already has some others I don't want (like Miracle Grow added to it). That makes for way too much fertilizer in the pot after I get started with my regime. Also those "wetting agents" (polimers) they put in there now make that soil stay WAY too wet for hoyas. Those may be OK if your planting roses or hibiscus outside in the sun or something, but in the house in a hoya pot, they are a death sentence. Sooooo...you certainly must read the ingredients in the general mix that you plan to start with. I used to always use "Supersoil" (sold at most box stores like Home Depot or Lowes). It is a good basic mix that is loose and doesn't have much added to it. Then I would add some perlite and maybe orchid bark or pumis, etc for added drainage. Lately this spring I have been repotting with some special mixs sold at hyponics stores called Light Warrier and Ocean mix. I mix those two together then I still added some perlite and they are doing GREAT in this mix. It is terribly expensive however (compared to the Supersoil). But ...like you say...if they wanted some champagne...I think I would be pouring it on them. Ha. We do LOVE our hoyas, don't we? Marcy...See MoreStepparent custody and visitation
Comments (21)Ha. My Ex actually linked up with SM at a daycare where my children were going. He left me for her, and actually it was humorous to see her thinking she knew more about raising children than I did. He, after divorcing me, married her, and she was their stepmom. And actually I did see after I got over my anger that she was a pretty good person. Eleven years later she left my ex by moving in with and finally marrying his ex best friend. My Ex was livid, of course. Ha Ha. I could have used that to the hilt. It was sad to me to watch SM try to have a relationship with our children, and my Ex and now also her Ex also tried to stop that relationship with everything in his being. I was now the one who held all the power. I could have blown her out of the water. And you know what, many people told me here is the biatch who stole your husband pay her back. It was actually one of my daughters' friends who said to me, SM is really trying hard here, give her some slack. That statement made me think. And the friend was right. It did make sense. There was no reason why I should stand in the way of a relationship simply because my Ex moved on, or was forced to move on. I have been married to my second husband for 15 years now, a marriage that I think will go on until we die. My EX is now into his third marriage, and now what I say to my girls is this. Your dad's new wife is in fact your stepmother, but it isn't the same this time for you. They are 20 now. And yes first SM, and her mom and her dad and her sisters and all their children have special times with "my" kids, and none of them wanted to say goodbye. I say you are all more than welcome because that is what my girls want. Is it hard? You bet you it is hard. It is likely the hardest thing I have ever done in my life. But when you have kids it isn't about you anymore is it....See MoreL Shades
Comments (57)You can now listen to this piece of cr*p as an audio. A link below to a report from the Telegraph. A message for Kath: after reading one of your posts above, the computer, with a strange smell of burning rubber and scorched leather gave up the ghost and froze. My son is even now de-gaussing it. In the meantime we are having to use the lap-top which is not happy with this RP site and requires me to sign in everytime I go online. Kath, I notice you haven't been at RP since your posting here and wonder if the L Shades was an erotic experience too far and the men in white coats have taken you away to a darkened room.
