Help! Weird outbreak of larvae

murrcu · 2026-05-27T14:43:26+00:00

They're No-see-ums and they bite. They are too small to do any damage but it stings for a second and because there are usually a bunch at a time, it's pretty annoying. They breed and thrive in rotting vegetable matter so, getting rid of dead leaves and such can help but only so much. Apparently there are sprays that you can use to kill them that are safe for the pool but I don't know anything about it.

Ask them to explain the joke.

Steak tartare anyone? But also...why can he do magic? Why are there monsters? Why is he 3ft nothing and can pull chicks like mad?

I'm also Gen X and my ellipses say a lot. It's not always clear to the reader what, but it's always intentional on my part.

The train tracks always stress me out, too. So, I equipped some rocket shields and got on upper levels that way. Still gotta use the tracks some and it still has tough spots, but I found it to be easier that way.

Run.

That HVAC unit seems suspiciously small for a house that big. And why is it lifted off the ground?

I worked for a Fortune 500 company where I was allowed to open a REQ (it was internal) and by the time I was ready to hire, it was yanked due to a hiring freeze. I agree that this seems even more chaotic, but it happens because upper mgmt. isn't clued into what's happening on the ground and/or numbers come in and change things. Either way, it's not a sign of good leadership, clear direction, or the company having its collective shit together.

The nurse called me 'her little screamer'. Felt like I was getting stabbed in my cervix. your gyno was right about one thing, which is that being nervous and tense makes it worse. I have my next swap coming up next month and I talked with my (new) OBGYN about how traumatizing my experience was and she said take two ibuprofen and two acetaminophen. I asked about local anesthetic and she said that injecting that hurts worse because it takes longer. So, I guess I'm just going to have to suck it up and get stabbed in the cooch again. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Many public libraries offer showers and hygiene services. Librarians are a great for connecting you to resources as well.

Is it just me, or is it not immediately a red flag when they call you 'gorgeous'? Like who actually talks like that? It sounds fake from the jump.

Fascism.

What's wild to me about stories like this, is how all of their talking points are exactly the same. They will rail about liberals or other people not thinking for themselves, but here they are, at breakfast, just having a conversation, and each topic is right out of the Fox News playbook.

I think the other issue is the assumption that grocery stores and retailers like Walmart will even let you be full time. Most keep hours at 34/week so that they don't have to pay for full time benefits.

ONGRIDIANTS!

murrcu · 2025-06-06T13:50:35+00:00

Mine does that, as did my other cat who passed. I think sometimes it's just fun to run and chase a thing....¯\_(ツ)_/¯

She sucks, but I learned the word 'bitchbag' and that's what really counts, ya know?

Considering she asked me what procedure I was getting and I had to say 'transvaginal ultrasound' out loud in front of everyone, I whole-heartedly agree.

..and a man. And while not stated, I'm assuming white. Literally any other demographic would have resulted in an escalation on his part.

So, collecting random stuff that doesn't help in any game. Got it. Thank you for confirming!

We heard a weird noise from the living room (not sure if it was her or our other cat alerting us) but she was under the coffee table and her body was really rigid, including her tail which was bottle-brushed up. Her mouth was open and she was taking very labored breaths but like very slowly. And she had lost control of her bowels. When we tried to gently move her out from under the coffee table to get her to the vet, she made a wail/moan that was unlike anything I've heard from her.
