Wanted: W words

[R2elk]

The spinners, we have at least 3 around the house currently. As for mantis, around a 6-12 at any one time.... Be they green or brownish.... Very kewl to know folks have them as pets but, I like having them page our yard.... When I see them and they see me slowly approach, they very willingly climb onboard.... And usually the older ones start to look for what direction I'm taking them....

I "plant" praying mantis seed cases in the garden and various fruit trees. I rarely see any but I know they are doing their job from the lack of harmful insects.

That makes sense! Thank you! I guess I didn’t realize at first because of the quantity or whatever but I guess the difference is in the concentration of the sugar? Honey probably has way more even smaller amounts. Although doesn't ice cream have a lot of not really?

Honey is 100% sugar. A gram of honey is a gram of sugar. Ice cream is not pure sugar. The Butter Pecan ice cream I have shows a serving size as 2/3 cup (89 grams). In that 89 grams, there are included 16 grams of sugar or 18% of the ice cream is sugar. There are other components in it such as milk and eggs and fat. If a person is watching their sugar intake, they need to avoid low fat ice cream because they add even more sugar to replace the missing fat and the flavor it adds to the ice cream.

For me, it is even less because I take less than the 2/3 cup as my serving size. Mine would most often be closer to 1/4 to 1/3 cup for the serving size.

The apple dumpling was a large one but it and the portion of ice cream was all I ate. It was the whole meal and not a dessert accompanying a meal. I was also more than sufficiently active all day starting out with the skunk disposal this morning.

Thank you for such a detailed explaination and everything!! This makes a lot of sense!! And is fascinating! I think I must have just been getting confused in thinking all sugar was to be avoided or something also I wish I could have apple dumplings and ice creams for my meals maybe I need to find some skunks to dispose of! or more mountains to climb like the other day.

Freud was a nutcase. Jung had some better theories.

True dat!

I have seen pictures of those but none in person.

There are people that keep praying mantises as pets.

I had one. The thing was freaky. She laid like 5 clutches of eggs before she was done. We put the eggs in the fridge until spring, then hatched them for pest control in the garden. Haven’t found any this year.

Sounds to me like someone who has the thinking of " I have to have it, I always get my way." I would think it would be obvious that poultry are considered possible disease spreaders. Ah well, if he or she is stubborn enough and got enough money.. apparently nothing is gonna stop them. The poor bird though. .

Does the UPS pickup free anymore? I tried to get them to pick up a package here, but quickly scrapped that idea when it was $15.30!

Just watched that finally and what is that huge bird in the background!? The super leggy one that they didn’t zoom on. Looks like a chicken or something but not?

I was wondering the same thing ... any ornithologists out there??

I might as well join the rest.
Happy fake birthday @R2elk.

Hey, if he's not gonna tell us when his REAL birthday is, we can celebrate his fake one whenever we want!
