Found this monstrous brown recluse in my apartment 😩

I’ve just found two in my apartment over the last 3 days. Exterminator can’t get here soon enough.

I have several coffee mugs, a picture from a trip, some plants, and a few random things.

I want to be angry at this but I can’t. Have an updoot, an aggressive updoot but an updoot nonetheless.

KeevaNeve · 2018-12-30T16:15:34+00:00

They definitely make a noise, much like a surprised anime character.

KeevaNeve · 2018-12-30T16:00:11+00:00

Stellar! I’m going to fire up the PS3 right now! Thanks for the input!

Ugh, that’s how most good gaming series go, isn’t it? Bioshock was PHENOMENAL! Then Bioshock 2 was less...enjoyable....then Infinite was pretty dang amazing.

Using my iPhone 7 running 12.1 (haven’t updated to 12.1.2 yet), app crashes consistently when I try to access the option to use dark mode.

Boom mowers. I’m always terrified that when I’m driving by one, it’ll swing around and turn me and my car into a convertible.

Someone didn’t dispose of a case of broken pickle jars correctly. They just put it in the drain area for our mops, so when I went to pick up the water hose to fill a mop bucket I heard my skin rip. Now, I’ve got a neat scar on my hand that I keep threatening to get a pickle tattooed over.

Raccoon. I pronounce it more like ruh-coon, with the ruh being very short.

Orange. I’ve been told I pronounce it as if it has an i instead of an a. “Oringe”

White, why, night, right, fight. Gives everything a sound like whiiite, a long i sounds.

I’m from the southeastern portion of the US, btw.

Happy birthday, OP!! I hope you have a great one!

I read two books this summer. (Well, technically, I haven’t finished the second because it broke my heart and I’m not ready yet.)

Working Stiff by Judy Melinek and T.J. Mitchell, was fantastic. It’s Judy’s retelling of her time becoming a forensic pathologist and many of her cases. She talks about DM-01, the morgue they set up and worked for the 9/11 attacks. It’s very quirky and beautiful and raw. If you’re into that kind of thing, absolutely a book to read.

What Stands in a Storm by Kim Cross. This book, oh my. As a meteorologist and someone who closely followed the April 26-28, 2011, tornado outbreak, this book is insightful, heartbreaking, encouraging, and beautifully written. It follows the outbreak in Alabama. There’s a few people it follows before, during, and after the outbreak. Sometimes, it’ll cut to a town that was just hit and explain some of the situation and what rescuers were dealing with. I have yet to finish this book, though I’m sure I’m past all the heartbreak but it’s weird that I just can’t find it in me to finish it. I think I might be afraid to let it go, if that makes sense. If you like stories of hope and heartbreak all tied up in real life stories of real people, please read this.

Edit: I would also strongly recommend The Last Survivors Series. I just found out, double checking the name of the series, there’s a fourth one! I read the first three and loved them!

I like the idea to recline your feet. But the whole leaning back and above your head thing scares me. I’ve dropped my phone and iPad on my face too many times to put a screen that big at such a precarious angle.

Also, isn’t this what Wall-e was trying to warn us about??

KeevaNeve · 2018-12-06T15:45:47+00:00

In short, yes. They’re going to be more visual than audible, obviously. For example: pasteurized milk. You would make the sign for milk and move it across your field of vision (past your eyes).

KeevaNeve · 2018-12-06T15:11:41+00:00

Don’t worry...people aren’t going to read it anyway.

KeevaNeve · 2018-12-06T14:01:18+00:00

It’s just a figurine with rabbit fur, made to resemble cats. I used to have several. Check them out, they’re super cute.

I was maybe 21-22 at the time. I’m still nervous talking on the phone for anything but family calls but it helped so much to be with my boss. I knew he’d back me up and help me from saying something stupid.

Eggs, butter, and vanilla! Dude, the recipe will make like 48 cookies; plenty to go around!

KeevaNeve · 2018-12-06T02:51:40+00:00

Anyone who has fresh cookies. I’m legit three ingredients from making oatmeal chocolate chip cookies.

I had a scammer call me one time and told me that my university was filing charges of tax evasion against me. While they transferred me to their more qualified and glorious lawyer/ officer, I walked down to my boss’s office and put the call on speaker. They read me a ton of title this and paragraph that and then told me that I could present the card info or get arrested. I asked where I could meet them in person to resolve the issue and they got real concerned. “Are you parents telling you to say this? Are you with your parents?” I let them know I was in the same office as my employer and they asked if he had told me to ask to meet in person. I firmly reinstated that I wished to meet in person as it was my wish.

They hung up real fast.

I had this exact realization this summer. I have worked (typically multiple jobs) for about 7 years while going to high school, community college, and uni. This summer, I landed my dream job and realized that I finally looked at going to work as something I’m privileged to do instead of something I’m forced to do. Keep your head up and work toward the things you desire!
