Today was our wedding anniversary! Not much to do, but we wanted to pick a nice dinner.

Went to to take a nap after work and was woken up to a loud OH MY GOD LOOK AT THIS!!!

Ants all over one spot in the kitchen. Shitloads of them inside doggo's food bag.

Found where they were coming from- a small opening between the flooring and the wall at the pantry door. Killed all the little fuckers with Raid, cleaned the floor, plugged the hole, and then double bagged the dog food (still had ants all over it), went to go throw it out, drove to my parents' house and got a bag of dog food from them, ordered more online, drove to Home Depot and got some caulk, went back to their house to get my wife and the dog, tried to order food, the place was closed, found another place, barely got an order in before they stopped for the night, went to pick it up, had to wait longer, went home, sealed the hole, and finally ate.

Feels pretty normal for 2020.

Get Terro traps. Spraying em down just makes the queen poop out more. You need them to bring her the poison, end the bloodline

Used them before for ants outside- the next morning, an animal had tried to eat it and the ants were still there.

Should be good but will try this if not. This happened once before, a few years back ,(windowsill under the kitchen window had a crack on the bottom) and the ants stopped immediately once it was sealed. Still planning to renovate everything next year so will see what's up when they tear up the flooring and whatnot.

It’s crazy when they find the bait, you’ll see how many ants there REALLY are lol but you gotta let them load up and spread the death back home, hopefully your sealing does the trick

All you need is a nice caulk to plug up that hole!

I could use a bit of help. My anxiety is kicking my ass lately and I need to chill my nerves out a bit. I've decided that I'm gonna seek out the use of recreational drugs that I can get in my state easily. Problem is I have no idea where to start & what to start with in the realm of edibles. There are so many options it's insane. A little guidance would be appreciated.

EchoRin · « **Reply #34631 on:** July 10, 2020, 10:23:56 PM »

Honestly the people at the dispensary should be able to guide you. If you drop something on them like "I'm looking for an edible that will relax me but not get me totally blitzed" that should be more than enough info for them unless they are unhelpful dicks.

CatsCatsCats · « **Reply #34632 on:** July 10, 2020, 11:09:11 PM »

If you’ve never done them at all, pop like 5 or 10 mg, and just see how that is. Most likely a very mild experience, worst case a waste of money. Build up from there. Gummies are simplest and tastiest usually, but I’ve had a lot of different stuff, even hot sauce! Lol

Really give it time before re-upping a dose, that’s the biggest rookie mistake.

I would suggest Indica, it is the strain most commonly used for just relaxation. I like the Emerald Sky brand hard candy and gummies. They're individually wrapped and don't have as much of a weird taste as a lot of the chocolate products. I found when I first took them that I would get super relaxed and tingly and then eventually just fall asleep, so I pretty much would only take them when I knew I was ready to be done being productive for the day. Be prepared for the cotton mouth as well.

Caller: Hi, my monitors aren't working. They say "no signal" but my laptop screen is fine.
Me: Are you using your laptop with a docking station?
Caller: Well, yes- but I don't have it on the dock right now. I'm just using the laptop by itself.
Me: Uhh...do you have the monitors plugged into the laptop directly?
Caller: No. I just have the laptop over here by itself.
Me: If you're not using the dock and don't have anything connected to the monitors, you're not going to see anything.
Caller: Are you sure? I can swear they've worked before like this.
Me: Yes. You cannot use your monitors if they're not connected to anything.

We'll see. Not looking good though. I have bad symptoms. Went to the doctor today and he said it's "larger than normal". Then we've got the symptoms that got me to go to the doc to begin with. He's prescribed me a medicine and we have a test out for analysis (not a biopsy), I'll be back in August.

Himu · « **Reply #34645 on:** July 13, 2020, 07:25:53 PM »

I'm doing well. Just need to live a full life so I have no regrets. Right now we have to survive covid so life can be "normal" again.

What kind of cancer are you talking about, if you don‘t mind me asking?

Because symptons and something being larger than normal can have a myriad of reasons besides cancer.

Wishing you all the best regardless though of course

That's true. I'm scared so I'm naturally digging in my head and stuff. I don't really want to say what kind of cancer.

Nintex · « **Reply #34648 on:** July 13, 2020, 07:41:52 PM »

Sometimes doctors prepare you for the worst because of certain symptoms and risks... but if you have to get back in August they'll probably expect the medicine to work.
So far it sounds like a precaution.

Take care.

Chinese sellers are fucking shit. No matter what site you use, they all do the same thing. I guess I'm kind of used to it now.

So what is it they do? They will respond to an order quickly. They will claim they are processing the order, and then they will claim they are shipping the order. You will get a confirmation that the order has been shipped. Then like a week later you'll notice the shipping has been cancelled or the order is delayed in some way. And then you can be waiting for weeks for them to actually do something. lol

They give you the worst service you can imagine, and it's all intentional. It's simply how they operate. They give you the impression the order has been shipped so that you don't cancel and order somewhere else. Then they say it has been cancelled or delayed weeks later. Wait a minute, I thought you had already shipped it?

It gives you the impression that you're being scammed. When that first happened to me, I thought I was being scammed. Eventually though, you get the product you ordered. You get used to it. It has happened to me every single time. Every Chinese seller does it. lol

Yeah it takes about an hour or two to kick in. For reference, I'm 170 pounds and I way overdid it with like 20 mg of edible chocolate, ended up with a 12 hour panic attack. I smoked weed for years in college but this was my first time doing it again in a while so I had no tolerance.

If you want to avoid overdosing, the easiest thing to do is to just smoke it really but that's not great for your lungs of course. However, it does give you a small dose at a time and you instantly feel it so you know how your body is reacting to it.
