Endless Ends

I would make a terrible boy. I have zero curiosity about what it would be like to be a different gender. Less than zero.

However.

The whole pee while standing up thing seems awfully convenient.

The whole pee while standing up thing seems awfully convenient.

It’s one of the best things ever. I highly recommend it. ️️️️️

Earlier I was thinking about people and how they spend their money. Dwellings and transportation aside, it varies so much.

I have one friend who indulges in travel. Honestly, she is rarely home. Another purchases designer clothes. Her closet contents could fund a house purchase.

I occasionally purchase pricey articles of attire, but the two most expensive things I own have been gifted.

No point. Just a curiosity.

The main thing to remember is "Stay within your means" ! We all have choices, be it clothes, jewerly, vacations, homes, transportation, etc. But other than homes or cars (because longterm financing is available), my rule of thumb is "don't go into debt for any of the extras".

As my "nom de plume" implies, I am a longterm investor in the stock market, and over the years it has provided a financial cushion to be able to participate in the occasional "extra", which is usually a vacation trip.

Speaking of spending money, seemingly $1000 for two tires is a spectacular deal.

Honestly, if one can manage, even cars and houses are best paid for in cash.

For the guy selling the tires!

We are supposed to be in the middle of a drought, yet the best part of the last three days it's rained cats and dogs. Plus hail.

It had best not wash away all my dirt.

 

[Endless_Night]

Travails of the day:

-Found a tarantula the size of my fist.
-Argued with two Mediterranean geckos.
-Was ambuscaded by a flight of barn swallows.

It's been a creature feature kind of day.

Well if you are considering any of those critters as pets, you should know:

Tarantulas can be good pets for some, particularly those who enjoy observing them and appreciating their unique beauty, but they are not suitable for everyone. They are low-maintenance and fascinating to watch, but they are not interactive or cuddly pets and can bite if provoked. . . . All species of tarantula bite. However, they do not like to bite people. It cannot be stressed enough that tarantulas will only bite a person as a very last resort.

Mediterranean geckos are an excellent choice for first-time reptile owners due to their low-maintenance nature and hardiness. Here are some compelling reasons to consider them as pets: Small Size and Space Efficiency: Their compact size makes them suitable for small enclosures, ideal for those with limited space . . . A single Mediterranean House Gecko can thrive in a 10-gallon tank, but a 20-gallon long tank is recommended for multiple geckos or to provide more enrichment. Tank Dimensions: A 20-gallon long tank (30” x 12” x 12”) is ideal, as it provides ample space for climbing and exploration.

Although barn swallows eat massive quantities of pesky insects, they tend to become the larger pests by building their mud nests on manmade structures. Swallows can damage property and their droppings cause sanitation and health concerns, requiring expensive and time-consuming clean-up and repair.

Well if you are considering any of those critters as pets, you should know:

Thou'rt wildly optimistic about my love of nature coming indoors.

(The argument with the geckos was them wanting to come in and my wanting them to stay oooout. )

Do I need 10 yards of topsoil?

Do I not need 10 yards of topsoil?

Do I need 10 yards of topsoil?

Do I not need 10 yards of topsoil?

Do I need 10 yards of topsoil?

Do I not need 10 yards of topsoil?

Why not grab 40 yards just to be safe?

 

[Endless_Night]

Why not grab 40 yards just to be safe?

This is what you call help, is it?

 

[Endless_Night]

I have decided against any yards of topsoil.

Thank that, @hotwords229_A!

I am, however, going to order sand.

 

[Endless_Night]

I had no idea there'd been a squabble about who invented calculus between Newton and Liebniz. Complete with a book of letters compiled by Newton, purporting to settle the matter of who came up with the concept first.

Newton even wrote a review.

Of his own book.

Here I thought only biological science academics got all petty and full of ego.


The things one learns on the internet.

So now I can tell you to “go pound sand” and it can have a literal reference? That’s awesome.

There are no egos more fragile than the great scientific ones.

I had to google.

I was expecting a euphemism.

Imagine my surprise when it merely rude!

 

[Endless_Night]

Drat! Tonight was a frenzy of finding documents. I just realized it was the last day to challenge my agricultural taxes!!!

I'd meant to do it sometime over the last several days.

But was too busy with my emotional meltdown.


I'm always all about the practical choice.

This city girl was surprised you didn’t know that phrase. And shocked there’s something called agricultural taxes

 

[Endless_Night]

This city girl was surprised you didn’t know that phrase.

Oh, my ignorance occasionally extends past all things sexual.

And shocked there’s something called agricultural taxes

Only if you have an agricultural exemption.

The best part is that after all that scrambling to find all the paper work and searching surrounding properties on CAD, I realized I didn't need to challenge.

*flump*

“Flounce” comes to mind more than “flump” when thinking of you having a tiny huff.

Flounce is when she’s happily proved her point. Like a mic drop.

Flump is like a combination of facepalm and fall over in resignation or exasperation.

At least that’s how my Enny translator works

@LadyLascivious1 gets me.

Hmmmm.

I am now wondering if I should append a glossary in my profile.
