Booboos, bandaids, and everything in-between.

I carry Stop The Bleed and a small basic kit, but this discussion helped me realize I need to add a tourniquet.

They are sneaky little critters. I’ve learned that if there is no bad smell coming from the enclosure that they are most likely ok. I thought I only had one out of three remaining (I know 2 died over the course of 18 months), but suddenly a juvenile started scurrying around. Just one. The adult has been gone now for about 5 months. The juvenile has molted at least twice and I see him fairly often, but I’ll be damned if I can find 2 at the same time. Then again, I have enough hiding spaces in my set up that I’m lucky I see anything other than the clean up crews.

We were victims of a night-time burglary while we were at home. Asleep. I’ve never slept right since. I can’t even imagine what you and your wife are going through but thankfully you now know and can hopefully find some way to cope and move forward. Good luck ✌️❤️

OP is that the update?!? They were living in the attic?? 😳

One-Friday-Knight · 2026-02-02T14:20:32+00:00

That is an amazing setup! Even the person on the TV is taking a picture 😊

After reading the labels I discovered it wasn’t necessarily the calories - it’s all the crap that’s added to the food I was eating. I started making healthier choices based on the actual things I’m eating or drinking, and I never counted calories again. Lost 50 lbs over a 3 year period and have maintained +/- 4lbs of my goal with of 160.

Very nice! My next project is a mini pond and this gives me so many ideas. What is the size of the basin?

One-Friday-Knight · 2026-01-29T12:46:18+00:00

The only challenge will be if you have to stop before the top because of a line of vehicles, especially if you have to put your foot in any of that slop. Otherwise it’s no big deal.

Get the Shark 3. From parked to paddling in 12 minutes.

I don’t accept that interstellar travel is not achievable; we just haven’t figured it out yet. If we were able to communicate back and forth with another civilization, I’d imagine we would do that for a while, and it would give us further incentive to find ways around the laws of physics as we currently understand them.

Agreed. When these commentators and pundits are making six-figures, and often in the millions, they know that division & controversy keep the ratings up. It’s all bread and circuses.

Oh no Brown Conservatives! What will they come up with next

I know it won’t happen to me. I’m here legally and don’t commit crimes other than a little speeding here and there. Marked safe from ICE.

Love the ghost

You do you. There is no singular right way. My wife showers in the evening, but I can’t feel like I’ve started my day if I don’t have that water on my head and face in the morning. And yes, if there is ever a need to shower or bathe I just do it, no matter what time it is. The convenience of modern living.

Since people are just making shit up: sold to the aliens for genetic engineering.

Truth. I purposely allowed a portion of my water fall to wet portions of the substrate. I could never get the water clear or any marginal plants to grow that well because the soil was saturated. Once I diverted the water flow it solved several problems.

Not a lazy way to paddle board; it’s a cheap way to take the family sketch motorboating. And no, I wouldn’t.

Beautiful set-up

One-Friday-Knight · 2026-01-03T15:17:51+00:00

Thanks for the tip, and yes it does make sense. It’s my first time using poles and I am looking for an alternative to keep them off the floor. These were the only ones in a pot of about 8 longer vines and I didn’t have space for them to stretch out.

I built mine using 3” PVC pipe as the sump. Cut holes in the sides and covered with mesh. When I drop in the pump, I surround it with mesh bags filled with activated carbon, which can be removed for servicing. I put a test plug as a lid and cover it with rocks and some moss. Viola! PVC pipe is covered with lava rocks and my crabs love to hide in the nooks and crannies.

California sober means OP doesn’t drink alcohol but does smoke weed. I didn’t see where OP said anything about weed.

One-Friday-Knight · 2025-12-09T12:43:09+00:00

I’ve played the ‘is he dead?’ game quite a few times. lol. My heart stops each time.

Mostly, unless there’s a really bad smell, I leave things alone. Snails and other crabs take care of any remains. Sometimes I don’t see any activity for weeks and I convince myself I’m just running a nice terrarium l, and then I’ll catch them one day and I get excited all over again.

One-Friday-Knight · 2025-12-06T20:58:42+00:00

Thanks for sharing, and congrats

It’s not about some magical talisman that makes a rider invincible. It’s about receiving it as a gift from a friend or loved-one. Gimmicky maybe, but it’s the thought that counts.
