If you had a conure, it makes sense.

When they are shedding, it helps, especially as they get older.

I don’t remember the exact circumstances, I think I was going to give her a quick bath before a flight(mistake). I was holding her when she bit the meat of my thumb and coiled around my hand and wrist. All 5 feet of her was coiled with her head in the middle of the ball. Water did nothing. I had to wait about a half hour before she got bored, she then peeled her mouth off. I later found out that rubbing alcohol gets them to fuck off immediately, but that was the first and last time she bit me.

I have been bit by a conure more times than I can count, I have been bit and constricted by a python once. Getting bit by an actual parrot is a big reason why I haven’t gotten into larger birds.

I would rather be bit by the Amazonian Hitler pigeon. Python teeth are like Velcro for skin and it is horrible.

Gweeeep will go down on you to completion, fuck your brains out, and make you breakfast the next morning. Gweeeep doesn’t wait 3 days because Gweeeep doesn’t play games. You want to be better for Gweeeep because Gweeeep is better than you deserve.

Not into Gweeeep? Gweeeep will still help you move and be there for you when you need Gweeeep to listen. Gweeeep is not your best friend, Gweeeep is the best friend.

Love Gweeeep or fight me nerd.

I miss SeaWorld sometimes too, but it was never meant to be.

Maybe it is the ease with Dex mode compared to other phones that don’t have a native desktop mode?

Governing bodies regularly consist of bored narcissists who only act in their own self-interests.

They wanted less mosquitoes and held a mock election to confirm their interests and did what they wanted even though the people disagreed because they knew better, as they were the ruling class elected to carry out the piblic good aa they understand it.

Idk my artificial monoculture of non-native grasses kept immaculately trimmed and racially pure with toxic chemicals applied regularly makes me feel better than my neighbors’ artificial monoculture of non-native grasses kept immaculately trimmed and racially pure with toxic chemicals applied regularly.

That is how my daddy did it and that is how his daddy did it and their generations haven’t set any cultural precedents that have been incredibly predictably devastating to life and the biosphere as far as I can tell in these recordbreakingly hot and insect free times. I mean sure, those other places are experiencing historic climate events, but that is just part of normal climate cycles that haven’t existed in millennia.

I am so sorry for your loss. Cilantro tastes amazinging fresh and plantey in a great way, for those of us without a genetic defect.

Do you taste that with cooked cilantro in a dish or just with raw cilantro?

My usual strategy to force a sneeze over the edge is to look up with my eyes(not at the neck, more effective) and put a flashlight on strobe and it is highly effective.

Another funny human quirk is the clinically proven most effective method to cure hiccups. Especially great if your partner has them and you are willing to help. It doesn’t matter how the stimulation happens either, but they were more appropriate with their testing methodology than a couple needs to be.

Bright lights, especially flashing ones, stimulate the same nerve cluster that the urge to sneeze comes from and can help trigger a sneeze that is loading. Some people are more susceptible to that stimulus than others.

Don’t try and hone your skill with fire ants then.

I can smell when a woman has her period if I smell her skin, so not at any distance other than intimately. My best guess is all the hormonal changes alter pheromones from the normal and we can pick up on that.

Not like it is a bad smell, just her normal natural scent changes.

You will ideally be splitting the weight between the two of you, but most of the weight will be in the tent body so you will probably have 3lbs of tent and your partner will have the rest. 3lbs for a shelter is pretty good.

Backpacking weight is a big deal because it is far more miserable to hike 5 miles a day for 5 days with 40lbs than that same distance with 20lbs. If you are only going a mile or two a day for two days, then weight can be higher, but you will pay for it if you aren’t conditioned for it. Now add the consideration that your lady will be introduced to backpacking with whatever gear she has to carry. If she has a miserable time because of the weight and distance, she will be less likely to want to go again.

Going lighter is always better, except for your wallet. First time backpacking I had close to 35lbs of gear dry and spent like $200 on everything, miserable. The second time I had $400 worth of gear at 25lbs dry, wasn’t that bad. By the 3rd time I had about $800 worth of gear with a 20lbs dry weight and had a great time. Now my pack is about 15lbs dry with the luxury of a camp chair and wish I could use my $1,000 worth of gear more than maybe once year lol.

The month leading up to the trip the two of you should take a few progressively longer hikes on a nice flat trail with your full pack including water and simulated food weight. You will learn what you need to adjust on your packs, condition your bodies some, and learn what gear you need to change for lighter/better stuff.

And people say yardwork can’t be surprisingly fun.

Yes. It is a drysack that can contain and inflated the pad.

By the looks of it, the Romans were size queens and kings. The frescos and mosaics of Pompeii support that theory.

How does that make you feel?
