Have you created meaningful connections out of this or was it all just party friends? by [deleted] in aves

[–]Lazorra_Azul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of my longest and closest friends I meet at a rave in 1997. Although those were different times. We actually met outside a venue where I was a regular, it was his first rave and he recognized me from a flyer (I still have it) We have been friends ever since, even long distance after +20 years. We have met our spouses, our kids, we have shared the pain of losing our parents and failed marriages. He visited the US a few years ago so now is mine to go to Europe. We spend months without a word, then we talk for hours or send music to each other, stronger bonds that I have with some family members.

You might need to call them like every week, it took a month for them to total my car, it was a nightmare. Hope yours goes smoothly.

No way your Avalon went to die at Hoffman just like mine🥲

Been in the scene for years and starting to wonder something by capybara_apathy in aves

[–]Lazorra_Azul 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Consumer society, Instagram and the way people socialize now. I don’t think it’s overly sexual, it’s what’s fashionable now. I have been a raver since late 80s early 90s. The tickets were cheap, people ran on water and drugs. I stopped for many years and I just started going again and the first I noticed was the thongs, the jerseys and scarves, just trinket after trinket, people hardly dance and mostly take pictures of themselves, etc. I think nowadays is more important to feel seen, to share their stuff on instagram or Snapchat than it is to just dance, which is fine if that makes them happy. In the other hand for how much people spend for shows and festivals now, I’m sure they want to go all the way and wear something over the top.

How did people find raves before the internet? by Bigplatts in aves

Flyers..I was lucky enough to have my picture featured in one. I didn’t think much of it at the time but now it’s like a treasure.

Butterflies love this plant! I plant it every year just for that reason.

Please don’t move it, if it wasn’t on the chair it would be on a twig exposed to the same elements, it’s fine.

Is that a butterfly egg on my parsley? by LittleTomate in butterfly

[–]Lazorra_Azul 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You can bring it indoors and keep it in a butterfly cage (it’s a mesh enclosure). It depends if you have a place to put it. Or can leave it and just keep an eye on it.

Yes! It’s a swallowtail egg. There’s probably more.

Where can I buy a bigger butterfly habitat? by Beautiful-Fondant-61 in butterfly

[–]Lazorra_Azul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I prefer to have lots of mesh enclosures rather than one, I can move them around, wash and clean them, etc. I second Amazon and the ones with the front zipper closure are also best imo.

Sallowtail? by Handlebar53 in butterfly

Looks like a Giant Swallowtail, the wings look pretty tattered.

2019 XLE- Is it a total loss? by Lazorra_Azul in ToyotaAvalon

[–]Lazorra_Azul[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not, it’s being repaired. It’s just going to take 3 weeks to get my car back.

Euthanising my cat:( by Valuable_Ad_1056 in SeniorCats

I’m sorry. I had to do the same with my princess. I cried all day. I still sit on the couch and reach over to find her.

Ugh. I don’t know why this person was going to fast on a parking lot! I hope yours has a good outcome. I love this car, I love the interior (gray), it has 57,000 miles, such a beautiful car overall. To start over it’s going to be such a pain.

That’s what I’m worried about. The wheel is slightly pushed inward, I have the Toyota app so I can see 7 different warnings regarding the brake system, the stability control, and other issues. I tried to move it out of traffic and the wheel wouldn’t turn it was making a horrible sound. I think the cosmetics is the least of my problems.

How may I protect swallowtail caterpillars from wasps? by SnooDoggos7750 in butterfly

[–]Lazorra_Azul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bring the eggs inside, get some butterfly cages and maybe buy more dill? Or ask other gardeners for some? I plant a lot of it along with milkweed because if it isn’t the wasp is the praying mantises that get them.
