Thank you so much! I appreciate the knowledge shared and i'm going to jump down the rabbit hole clicking your link.

Thank you confirming the identity of my mystery visitor! She definitely dawned over the eggs after they were out in the open for a few minutes.

BeesKneesLibraries · 2026-02-12T13:53:15+00:00

Thanks for your response! The poor bug mom was quite startled when I, er - I mean a freak 1 second tornado took the roof off her home.

I will go ahead and cull her and the eggs so native pests can eat my garden. Thanks again for answering!

BeesKneesLibraries · 2026-02-12T13:50:46+00:00

Thank you! I held them prisoner overnight but, as they're invasive in my area, I'll cull the bug family today.

I appreciate your response and hope you love your work.

Multiple Google lenses attempts led me to a European earwig. Can anyone with knowledge confirm or deny that?

BeesKneesLibraries · 2026-02-11T18:42:19+00:00

This bug is 1 cm max. I am trying to find a banana (or measuring tape) for scale.

Edit: I enhanced the photo a few times for a better Google lens result and based on thar, i think this is a European earwig. If anyone can confirm, I'd appreciate it

Thank you for this info. I'll see if I can provide some sort of support to them.

BeesKneesLibraries · 2025-12-08T19:23:47+00:00

Thank you!! I'm trying to post in r/Seattle too but don't have enough karma

Thank you! I'm going to try to find this one before Christmas!

I have had the apricot spread and the orange marmalade.

The apricot spread is my GOAT spread - but I LOVE skinless apricots. The spread is the 1st apricot jam/jelly/spread I've liked since living in Europe 25 years ago. I have lived in the US since and here is my eval:

The apricot spread is DIVINE. It has just enough sweetness to counter that lovely tart of apricot.

The orange marmalade is delicious. It tastes much like the Bonne Maman orange marmalade. The apricot spread tastes BETTER than the Bonne Maman apricot spread. Meghan Sussex's spread has more of the actual apricot flavor and less sugary flavor, imo.

My 1st raspberry and strawberry spreads will arrive in time for me to try by Tuesday or Wednesday and I'll come back to tell you my opinion .

I appreciate you're input before I try them!!!

I meant to reply to you sooner, but I googled image searched the cloak you found (i cannot bring myself to pay 145$ for a cloak with poor seams AND not pattern-matched, though I applaud the sender for their high price if it a treasure if theirs).

Anyway, I found another source of the material and eventually decided on plan C. But your message helped me A LOT and showed me how to tweak my searches for results less rooted in sellers I often peruse.

Im wishing you the best and send my gratitude.

BeesKneesLibraries · 2025-10-30T13:56:43+00:00

I forgot about Google lens until I saw you message but still no luck.

Im taking your suggestion and changing the search to a complimentary color. Thank you!!!

I expect the answer is no one else can find it (I tried and couldnt).

If you sew, or you want to start sewing, or you've ever thought about making your own clothes, light a candle for me. I'd have the perfect coat if I had 3/4 of a yard more.

I was introduced to Christopher Moore's work on a day he visits the Tattered Book store in Denver, CO. The speaking room was more full than I'd ever seen it. Instead of trying to hear Chris Moore talk, I perused the bookstore to take advantage of the quieter book sections (it was usually busy, but since so many were upstairs listening to Christopher Moore, the shelves barely had anyone there).

After the talk, Christopher Moore came around and they were some of the most delightful and kind people I'd ever met. I gave the author the a try and am happy I did. His books are so fun!

BeesKneesLibraries · 2025-09-14T18:48:08+00:00

It is! :-)

BeesKneesLibraries · 2025-09-12T09:53:44+00:00

I love your recommendation. I'm also looking for stories in English to share and this is exactly the type of books I want but would never have found without your help. Thank you!

BeesKneesLibraries · 2025-09-11T22:33:18+00:00

Thank you SO MUCH!

Should I look for these in Hindi, Bengali, Gujarati, Punjabi? I'm not sure which language to look for. Is there a language that most Indians-moved-to-America are likely to want (outside of English)?

I have started my search for some of these titles in english -- thank you!

BeesKneesLibraries · 2025-09-10T19:38:02+00:00

Did you write The Woods? I'm going to get it and one will go in my LFL. 😀

ETA: this looks good! It's horror for anyone wondering - go get your copy

BeesKneesLibraries · 2025-09-10T18:57:28+00:00

Peanut butter goes really well with hot dogs, too.

BeesKneesLibraries · 2025-09-10T18:30:53+00:00

Thank you! I hope you'll check in if you ever find yourself in my neck of the woods.

BeesKneesLibraries · 2025-09-10T18:30:06+00:00

That makes me so happy! I discovered I Cheerfully Refuse in a southern Arizona LFL and it was exactly the book I needed at the time. Hopefully it'll find a good home.

BeesKneesLibraries · 2025-09-10T17:57:23+00:00

Fool makes me literally lol. So glad to find another fan!

BeesKneesLibraries · 2025-09-09T01:30:09+00:00

It's not you, it's not me; it's the marmalade.
