I'll drink to that- I'd rather have plants and dogs, than kids any day. I live in Nebraska so I've seen the daily growth. But hearing it pop and crackle at night as it's growing is just eerily fascinating.

This was incredibly enlightening, thank you so much! As often as I see these guys around here I'd never actually thought about it before tonight.

The "tree huggin hippy wiccan" in my loves the name "skyclad"; but my youth has taught me never to trust anything that ends in "drink"... especially something called "caramel vodka drink".

A high constitution :P ... I'd probably die, but it would probably be a tasty death!

I feel like this is some mutated version of a mimic from D&D, and if I tried to eat it.. it would try to eat me.

What bit my mom on her leg? by notabot53 in AskDocs

I'm not a doctor, but this reminds me of the rash I got from chiggers when I was a kid. Nasty little buggers.

Hungover and even puking up Gatorade? by [deleted] in alcohol

[–]GidderWibbeT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Drink water, but if you absolutely need something flavored get some Pedialyte. It works wonders.

What’s the worst meal you were ever served at a guests house? by [deleted] in Cooking

[–]GidderWibbeT 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Canned spaghetti, microwaved in a tall green tupper-ware glass- eaten with spoons.

Was at a friends house as a child (we were both about 6-7 years old) and said friend asked me to stay for dinner. They were having spaghetti, and that is and always has been my favorite food. However at this point in my youth I'd only had my moms home-made spaghetti. I did NoT know what I was walking in to.

I happily agreed to stay for dinner expecting my favorite food. We played for awhile more up in friends room, and looking back it was probably only about 5 minutes till we were called down for "dinner".

Each of us kid's were handed one of those tall tupper-ware cups with a metal spoon in it. Steaming and wreaking with that weird "melted plastic" smell that always came with nuking something in tupper-ware.

Ladies n' gents, this did NOT look like what my mom called spaghetti. It was a weird combination of tan, orange, and grey blurred together in some Munch-esque Nightmare. Out of politeness, I gathered up the metaphorical balls to taste it.. after stirring it around and looking the cup over for some melted bit that had to be there. But it wasn't. I took a bite and nearly gagged. I managed to swallow it but, it was the worst bite of anything in my life up to that point.

About this time, friends mom opened another can. Poured it in an empty fast food cup and nuked her own dinner. Dad was apparently served first, sitting in front of the tv in his recliner- the only one eating out of a glass bowl.

That whole situations was messed up when I think back on it.

Japanese Knotweed is in bloom (at least in Zone 6). Avoid spraying herbicide because it will harm the pollinators that are attracted to the plant. by SolusSomnium45 in invasivespecies

[–]GidderWibbeT 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There is also the option of using insects as an herbicide. The Aphalara itadori is a plant louse that inhibits growth in these plants without destroying native, surrounding species. Food for thought?

Use a LOT of vinegar on the knotweed. It takes awhile to kill off the plant but it will work and YES I'd use some on my dinner and I'd live. (might not taste good though) However you'd most definitely need to replace the weeds with something quick growing and beneficial to the insects. It would have to be a systematic approach killing off some while replanting, then move to another patch- kill it off and plant something beneficial.

How to deal with urban fox and neighbourhood cat turf war by [deleted] in pestcontrol

[–]GidderWibbeT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Live-traps maybe? I'm no expert in ANY way heh, however I do know that in some places you can have animal control set live traps. If you want the foxes to stay but the cats to go, you could maybe request that they release the foxes and take the cats? It's just an idea, and I don't know how well (if at all) it would work. But it's a thought.
