I didn't want to say it first! But a huge salamander was living in the water holding tank last I checked! It seems to have gotten swept in during the hurricane in September, and I'm not sure how to get it out as the water in the tank is nearly 10 ft deep.
I've never seen that before though--the system is pretty tight. The water comes out from under a huge oak tree into a sheltered area, and stays sheltered until it comes out of the tap. Nobody has ever gotten sick off it to my knowledge... though the salamander is a new development!
I'd love to get the water tested, but I haven't looked into it other than some local offices that test mineral content. How would I look into testing for parasites?
Not saying I agree that the fall of the US would help others, but we sure have fucked up a lot of countries over the years and it would be great if we stopped doing so. We've illegally prioritized the capitalist agenda at the expense of international progress time and time and time again. Imagine what South America might be like without US interference in their governments.
Wait... People don't have a work-to-live attitude in CO? I live in NC where everyone works their lives away. Are you telling me I can move, even within the US, and that's not the case? I know NC is terrible for workers, but if it's that much of a discrepancy then I would pack and go elsewhere asap.
Y'all, I'm very very vegetarian, but knocking this dude for recommending fishing is silly. "Fishing or another outside activity that seems relaxing to you" is implicit. People have different morals regarding animals and consumption. I get where you're coming from, but "birdwatching is also a great activity!" is a better and more positive response imo.
Words in English that end in "-us" and pluralize to "-i" are from Latin, such as cactus/cacti or focus/foci. However, "octopus" is from Greek, and its correct pluralization from Greek would be "octopodes." In English, we have also adopted "octopuses," which fits our standard pluralization rules.
So, "octopi" is actually a language mix up, though one that's so common that it seems to be accepted in English.
If we're already taking about genitals, maybe I can ask if you know anything about the nerve endings in nipples? Two specific questions: first, touching them feels great to some people and awful to others. Why? Second, for someone to whom it feels good, the sensation is still really weird: it's almost like there's a ton of nerve endings but they're not site specific. It's not at all like poking yourself in the leg.
You're correct. I didn't mean that 40 was itself too old, only that there is a certain point at which they'll be too old for biological kids. No one is ever too old to find a new relationship though.
At some point we're too old to have biological children, yes, but my 72 year old father has been in a new relationship for about a year and they seem super happy together.
I mean, there's not anyone outside the window. But the idea that something could be out there without my knowing? It's a feeling of not being secure and makes me jumpy.
I can't believe no one said the things under the bed, or the things looking in through the window. On the rare occasion that I'm home alone I still jump several feet to get into bed. Yes I'm too old for this but it's the truth.
