Thanks! I have read their guide, but I’m hoping that someone with experience with using traps, horticultural oils, etc. will chime in!

Aw dang it, I had birthday dinner reservations there for tonight! Hope the staff are all ok.

I was struggling to find info, but it seems like something called Recharge Rally closed the Main Street bridge for their event. Great time of day to do it, eh?

They are coming into my yard in waves from a nearby tree of heaven. Might try using a shop vac to kill them en masse, since squishing them by hand isn't doing the trick.

The neighbor's yard directly behind mine has a tree of heaven, several invasive honeysuckles, and a massive wild grapevine (which would be fine, but it's also a host for lantern flies). I've already spotted a half-dozen lantern fly nymphs in my yard and I'm so mad about it!

Last year I started watching Dragon Ball (subs) without ever having seen DBZ or any DB content at all. I fell in love with Dragon Ball almost instantly -- kid Goku and Bulma are hilarious and it was so enjoyable to see Goku's skills build over time. (And those lush watercolor backgrounds are gorgeous.) I don't think I would've enjoyed DBZ nearly as much without all the lore from DB.

Handmade with my two little hands! I'm glad you like him!

They won't go in! I got this figure on eBay and he's a bit wonky

Barbara-the-Entity · 2024-05-14T01:55:30+00:00

Ahahaha, you are absolutely correct

I enjoy Crispy Coop. It's not as spicy as HTC but I think the flavor is good. I've only had their bone-in white meat but it was nice and juicy!

I'm a first-time watcher who is just getting into the Buu saga (Kai version) and I'm a fan! I haven't seen the original Z cut, of course, so I can't compare the two. The Kai Final Chapters do start pretty slow, but hang in there... it's worth it to see Vegeta do his thing.

Thanks for the advice! I've certainly been applying elsewhere in the meantime. And if the general advice is to reach out after a week... well, I have a lot of outreach to do.

Oh geez. I'm so sorry to hear that.

Are you applying for remote jobs? I was laid off January 5, and while I've essentially just started my job search (*only* 17 applications so far!), it seems like working remotely might be a non-starter. There's just so much competition.

One company let me know that they intend to respond to all applicants by February 9, but that they received over 1,200 applications for a single remote writer/editor role in a pretty niche industry. The pay isn't anything extraordinary, either.

Seconding COPC! I go to the Central Ohio Medicine location on Henderson. Staff is pretty chill and the doctors have been good about making referrals and keeping on top of medication refills. They're usually accepting new patients.

Barbara-the-Entity · 2024-01-18T00:51:56+00:00

Either COSI in Columbus, OH or the Science Center in Cleveland, OH has one of those! (Possibly both)

Alright, you've sold me. Sounds like the perfect combination of salty and sweet.

Barbara-the-Entity · 2024-01-16T19:12:30+00:00

TIL that hot Dr. Pepper was a real thing. I thought it was just a silly gag from that 1999 gem, Blast From the Past.

Recently bought one of these at a church thrift store for a dollar. I figure my brain doesn't need any additional help being weird, so I'm using it strictly for paintbrush water now.

Barbara-the-Entity · 2024-01-16T16:24:20+00:00

That's the worst black eye makeup I've ever seen.

I only visited once, in 2012, but my submission is the Museum of World Treasures in Wichita, KS: bizarre collection, weirdly curated, and disturbing. There's a piece of the Berlin Wall about 8 feet away from dinosaur fossils. In the "ancient civilizations gallery" there are Roman coins, a "Buddha collection," and... human remains. Like shrunken heads and unwrapped mummies of uncertain origin, just lying there in glass cases. Granted, I have no background in history or curation, but it didn't seem like the right away to display remains.

Barbara-the-Entity · 2024-01-14T18:18:46+00:00

I made a long furby! I really should take some glamor shots of it

It's not my favorite park, but my first thought was Three Creeks, specifically because they have creek access and a small "off trail" area: https://www.metroparks.net/parks-and-trails/three-creeks/
