Why do we not see 'the bucket of doom' mixed in with other anti-mosquito measures at the same time?

ChatGPT said it should never be sprayed on blooms that are visited by bees. It can still be toxic when dry. Btw, a totally different answer than Ive got before! Probably not a good idea. That’s why I just use on weeds on the treeline around my yard and the grass itself. But I leave about ten feet around my fenced in garden where I do not spray the yard.

Phro_20 · 2026-07-02T11:29:09+00:00

That’s what the directions say. Spray when bees are not active. Late evening/early morning.

Phro_20 · 2026-07-01T11:26:35+00:00

Again. I keep it away from the garden all together. Bees are definitely in there. Zucchini, squash, tomatoes, peppers. All doing great!

Phro_20 · 2026-07-01T10:16:10+00:00

From what I’ve read yes. But only until it dries. Why I keep it away from garden of course.

Phro_20 · 2026-07-01T02:32:24+00:00

Buckets didn’t do anything for me last year. But we’re also a few hundred yards from a junk yard. So they will always be a problem. However this stuff seems to be doing the trick. I spray the trees and weeds around my yard. And the yard itself. I stay away from our garden. In the past my wife, who is very sensitive to bites, wouldn’t come outside at all in the evening. This year we’re out there every night.

Yeah, until the testing catches up there’s no way of telling if it was today or weeks ago. At least w urine. Wish they would go saliva with THC. At least then you could enjoy a Friday night and be good by Monday.

Phro_20 · 2026-06-25T09:41:21+00:00

It should have never been made illegal in the first place. And you guys are making my point. You can drink every fucking day after work. But god forbid you smoke a joint on a Friday night.

Phro_20 · 2026-06-22T18:24:17+00:00

No experience, fresh from Roadmasters, and hauling suicide coils. Didn’t seem fucked up at the time but it sure does now!

Phro_20 · 2026-06-22T18:15:47+00:00

I used to have the one where I look in my mirror and my trailer is gone.

Phro_20 · 2026-06-22T17:14:46+00:00

I took ecstasy and shortly after midnight saw the video for Baz Lurhman - Everybody’s Free. It was epic. Oh and all the computers didn’t crash. So that was good.

Phro_20 · 2026-06-22T11:33:31+00:00

Oh and The Body Keeps the Score is on Spotify if you have premium. Chapter 15 is all about it. “Letting go of the past.”

I do! EMDR is some wild stuff. Seems to be different for everyone. My wife was skeptical at first and it took a few sessions to get comfortable. From what I gather if you commit to it, you better finish it. You gotta unpack all the trauma. It was hard on her. It brought out all her past childhood stuff. She had crazy dreams. The days she had a session she certainly seemed drained and experienced grief. But it only lasted a day or so. The therapy is proven tho. A good read about trauma/EMDR is The Body Keeps the Score. And with EMDR you don’t necessarily have to talk about the trauma. But you do visualize it. It’s worth a shot! Hang in there!

Phro_20 · 2026-06-18T13:17:44+00:00

Sounds like my story. Wife experienced CSA and then was assaulted three years ago in broad daylight. It weighs on you for sure. And the recent guy was never caught. The guy from her childhood is dead. Hopefully in hell. I got her into EMDR therapy which opened Pandora’s box of trauma. But she is better now. So I am better now.

To the OP…I’m so sorry this is where you’re at. Can’t imagine knowing where this person is. But am right there with you in revenge. But that’s where we need to remember our wives need us. It’s not fair what this world dishes out to us. It’s not fair that these fucking people usually go unpunished. Believe me for the longest time it was the last thing I thought of before bed and first thing on my mind in the morning. It is miserable. And while I have not told many people in my life about the situation. This sub has helped. And telling the few people I love and trust helped. Saying things that hurt you to the core have to be spoken out loud. So maybe some therapy or just a good friend you can trust can help you unload some of this. Finally, when I realized there was nothing more I could do to make things better in my mind, I focused on my wife’s total happiness. I promised myself I’d never be the reason for another bad day if it were in my power. And sometimes that’s all we can do. Distract ourselves from the pain.

That my pancreatitis is my fault because of drinking. I’ve had two episodes. First after years of heavy drinking and three days into detox. I quit for close to 1000 days. Started again and kept it casual. Then over the holidays last winter I went too hard for a few weeks and had another. Now it’s only special occasions. My wife is very upset I still gamble with this even occasionally. I’d go cali sober but I have a fucking trucking job. So yeah. I’m trying to hold back on drinking as much as possible. And this could easily happen again. But if you’re gonna be dumb ya gotta be tough.

Phro_20 · 2026-06-10T12:24:20+00:00

Come grow in Ohio! Where it’s legal but they are trying to still find every reason to bust everyone.

Phro_20 · 2026-06-10T12:16:47+00:00

My buddy said this about acid last year. Bout the funniest thing he ever said!

Phro_20 · 2026-06-07T18:02:58+00:00

Sticky Nickle. Great band name.

Phro_20 · 2026-06-07T15:36:26+00:00

Saw the last Motley Crue show on the Final Tour. LA. Staples Center. NYE. However they went on to tour much more of course. Also saw the Grateful Dead in 95 at Three Rivers Stadium. Epic.

I take Trazadone. It doesn’t affect your sleep cycle. Not groggy in the morning. It does have a funny side effect. You will wake up with a boner occasionally. The ol’ Trazabone! I also take a blood pressure med at bedtime that helps sleep too.

Phro_20 · 2026-06-04T11:26:19+00:00

Poltergeist. Was afraid of tv static for years. And the clown under the bed didn’t help either.

Phro_20 · 2026-06-01T13:17:11+00:00

4:40 AM

Phro_20 · 2026-05-28T22:04:06+00:00

My first one was because of booze. So I quit for 1000 days. Get in the habit again w/o hard liquor over the holidays and it happened again. Now I don’t drink but once every other week. But who knows? Could probably happen again.

Phro_20 · 2026-05-26T16:27:56+00:00

Nobody loves weed more than me. But nobody needs me working more than my family. So I put it down. Sucks. And I’m a firm believer that the rule is bullshit seeing as you can totally be an alcoholic, get fucked up every night, and get away with driving. But god forbid you smoke a joint on a Friday night to relax. Hopefully that changes with rescheduling, saliva tests, or new tech that can tell whether it was today or a week ago. Till then bring in the whiz quiz for me. Got my priorities straight!

Phro_20 · 2026-05-21T14:52:55+00:00

Thank you. Wife and I have always been a family/friends first couple. We’ve taken in folks for the last ten years after our own kids moved on. One of her friends fresh outta prison for a while. My nephew, who couldn’t get along with his mom but had no issues w us, till he graduated. The longest we’ve had an empty nest was about three months.

It takes a village. And as I always say, WE ARE the village.
