➡I accidentally bought Balut eggs: 2 live ducks! Now a Chat Thread!

What service has Orphan Black to stream?

 

[Tesumph]

YEAH @Tesumph - where is YOURS???

I’m playing video games, what’s your excuse?!

 

[Tesumph]

Um, it's totally done. It's so beautiful that mere mortal eyes cannot look upon it lest they burn out of their sockets.

My eyes already burned out of their sockets from Kiki’s bikini Furry photos.

Thanks! It doesn’t really look like a brown recluse bite, but I’m not sure anymore. It’s very raised and getting “angrier.”

I don’t think so. It’s pretty tender.
See the little bite mark in the middle? The Ginger thinks it’s a bite from a “regular” spider.

What a lovely close up..

You might have picked up a spider in your clothing coming in from outside.
Wolf spiders bite like a bee sting...you would have felt that one.
Black widows and brown widows have a "silent" bite, but normally don't live inside homes...usually outside.

I'm not overly cautious except with bites of any kind...You may need to have this looked at by a doctor especially if it continues to swell. Any red streaking up or down your leg would indicate blood poisoning.
With your seizure condition, black widow could be very dangerous.

So I'm nowhere near caught up, lots of housework as lots of family is coming, lots of coopwork trying to kill every last microscopic mite.

Also @RUNuts I just ate my first salad from greens I grew in my garden! This is a day to celebrate because usually a rabbit or something gets them before I do. I may have actually figured this gardening thing out this year. I am trying to focus on things that have a real chance of survival. I also planted everything from seed directly outdoors and let it grow at its own pace. My potato plants are huge and I can't wait to see what's underground. Arugula has taken over to the point it may be a problem, but the ducks seem to love it.

Congrats on your first salad!
That is exciting!

Are the mites leaving yet?

Don’t worry, my mother—ahem, sorry, HUSBAND—has already firmly told me we’re going to the doctor if it gets any worse.

I’m fairly certain it was in our sheets (which I’m about to go wash) and bit me before I fell asleep. I thought I felt something but I was nodding off and ignored it. Yuck!

Did you notice your new shiny badge?

@Tesumph Hubby said if there is any color change to a bluish or grey black inside a red circle you need to get to a doctor ASAP. It will be black widow or fiddleback.
If a family member or neighbor takes nitro, you should get a pill for the paste with Neosporin.
