Yeah that's part of it. You plant something in the spring and you never know whats going to be left when fall comes around.

wow that's nice.........looks like it would be some what of a challenge to develop, if someone did want to.

Exactly!!! Last year my squash and peas died and I have no idea why.

ETA: Think my grapes might have died too.

Thank you!! I read the sides hurt less so I tried that at first but barely got any blood. I’ll try them again though. My fingers are def already a bit sore.

Alternate fingers. Also hold your hand down before so blood goes to your hands. You have to do it on warm fingers not cold. Having heat packs always work well.

I used to stuck my finger daily for blood thinning test for my blood thinners. I forget the correct term but I don't have to anymore. I was taking Coumadin, I absolutely disliked taking it.

Though out the ages people have made sacrifices for plagues and wars. To me, Staying away from people is pretty minor to be safe if you have an income. I'm glad I am not one that has to be with people.
Like you said, people do all kinds of things that are dangerous... Most are simple dietary or unnecessary travel. .. for some reason people have a need for entertainment. I guess they no longer are struggling to just survive and have too much idle time

I would like to see my daughters again and a few dear friends. This means international travel and as soon as this is possible and affordable again that is what I ma going to do.
I would like on those occasions when I go into the local village for supplies to sit outside one of the many Cafe/bars with a strong black coffee in front of me and a Cuban cigar in my mouth and chat to those who come by that I know.
I am not going to let the media and the hysteria turn me into even more of a hermit than I already am. I will of course take reasonable precautions as I would for anything that involves high health risk but reading here and on various other forums, I am not going to let this crisis turn me into a frightened old man who no longer feels able to mix with his own species.
I fear for the mental health of many who it seems have let this crisis paralyze their reason.

Thank you!! This is helpful. Maybe my hands were too cold?? They’re usually pretty cold in general.

I use a different finger most of the time but do use the same 3. And also I think part of the problem is it keeps saying not enough blood or certain spots barely bleed so even though I’ve only done 4 tests so far, I’ve stabbed my fingers about 5 million times trying to find the perfect amount

Oh wow that sounds super annoying!!

When I used to do my blood test I would use the side where my fingerprint is. I would squeeze where you did the needle and wait until it's a big blob of blood but not dripping.

Nevaeh and Anastasia both are confirmed females. I love them too much to use them for meat

Thanks!! I’ll have to try the side. I did squeeze it but it didn’t really bleed. Or it’d be like this tiny little speck of a drop. Maybe my thing just requires too much blood haha but then couldn’t get more when I squeezed it.
