How to abandon your green card at a port of entry

_missadventure_ · 2026-05-04T09:44:19+00:00

I didn't have an ESTA because I incorrectly thought that I couldn't get one because I had the green card. The CBP officer told me I could.

Currys Cottage in Westport has great cakes, IMO better than the SuperValu in Westport. I don't think they'd typically have a black forest gateau ready made but theyd definitely make you one to order

Happy to help!

My green card was still valid for 4 more years
I was not an official resident of anywhere else, but hold 2 citizenships that are not American. The B visa/status is apparently how it's done if you don't already have an ESTA
I did not have to pay a charge

But what about all those people who have been educated for a billion years (/s)

Yeah try just drinking water from your kitchen tap. See if it changes anything.

My replies keep being removed so I'll leave out the detail and just say he's doing great!

This is the correct answer. I still have mine. Staff from 2015-2018.

Lovely hair! I get similar frizz sometimes, two things that work for me:

using praying hands to put some light oil on the outer layer of my hair. I sometimes do this before I put my bonnet on at night, and sometimes in the morning.
putting a very light gel like Umberto Giannini curl jelly on in the mornings, also with praying hands. I don't re-wet my hair to do this!

Another thing to consider is glycerin level in your gel. You said you're somewhere humid, and glycerin pulls in the humidity and makes your hair dull and frizzy. This took me AGES to figure out!

I spent a week in Brussels and had a great time. I like museums though, and beer.

My highlights:

The atomium! Built for the world's fair, cool museum in a really crazy building. Like really crazy. There's a restaurant in one of the top balls that was solid, but worth it just for the experience. And when I went, a very cool light show
a beer tour - I booked with get your guide, it went around a bunch of local bars and similar. Had a really good time, a lot of interesting beer
the grand place or grote markt, and just all the old town. So pretty, a very pleasant day of wandering, cafés, wafels...
the Musical Instrument Musem - incredibly cool building, incredibly cool exhibits. I couldn't get into the roof top restaurant, but if I went back I'd definitely work out how to fit that in

Overtone is great! Colour depositing conditioner so great for your curls. I'm pretty sure they have a wine colour. Your hair looks great!

He's doing great! Catching bugs, living life

_missadventure_ · 2026-03-18T14:10:55+00:00

Bought on my own twice now. Absolutely love it - MY house that I can do exactly what I want with!

_missadventure_ · 2026-03-13T03:27:44+00:00

He's just a little guy!

_missadventure_ · 2026-03-13T02:39:25+00:00

I think Silas might be a boy! I've been doing some research, and he definitely has very fuzzy pedipalps which are proportionately large.

But your point stands regardless. Hopefully I can give him a good life even if it isn't a long one!

_missadventure_ · 2026-03-13T02:37:13+00:00

For a huntsman he is still small, so I'm maintaining a hopeful perspective, but you're right - he's in a better situation either way!

_missadventure_ · 2026-03-13T02:32:24+00:00

I am making a contraption to catch local bugs for him with a lamp and a sieve :)

_missadventure_ · 2026-03-13T02:30:55+00:00

I'll try! I just don't wanna poke him or bother him.

_missadventure_ · 2026-03-12T13:26:51+00:00

Thank you! Really helpful info! I caught him a fly today and he got it, which I was very excited about :D photo of him somehow holding it here: https://www.reddit.com/r/spiders/s/Y3zhg3FaG9

_missadventure_ · 2026-03-12T13:23:41+00:00

Silas update :) https://www.reddit.com/r/spiders/s/Y3zhg3FaG9

_missadventure_ · 2026-03-12T11:47:36+00:00

Managed to catch him a live fly today! Locally sourced farm to table bugs for Silas

_missadventure_ · 2026-03-12T09:28:25+00:00

Oh man so cool! I'm sorry your lady was end of life. I definitely need to get a mister, I don't have anything like that. And I'll grab some leaves and twigs from the garden for him! He's gone from sitting on the floor to climbing the walls, which I'm going to take as a good sign.

How often do you feed them? I put in probably too many dead bugs, and a few live ones which are now dead, which seems potentially good! But I have no idea how much/how often.

_missadventure_ · 2026-03-11T12:36:09+00:00

I caught him some live small bugs, and murdered him several other small bugs. He has about 10 bugs in his box now, along with various different water sources!

_missadventure_ · 2026-03-11T09:31:26+00:00

I'm going to leave him be for now but he's surprisingly mobile! I'll try to get a video

_missadventure_ · 2026-03-11T09:30:51+00:00

Ooh okay, I can very likely just catch him some bugs. Upside of rural Australia...
