There should be orange and black caterpillars or grass hoppers. The caterpillars are the larval form of the gulf fritillary. The caterpillars are often killed by wasps that use them to feed their eggs. The vine is normally unaffected by this predation since the vines are green and continue to ...

glennlab replies on Aug 5, 2021:

@RussRAB In spite of what it looks like, they are not damaging the plant, so no control is necessary. Grasshoppers can come from miles away and the butterfly/caterpillar have a symbiotic relationship with the plant. I have had as many as 50,000 on my vines and very seldom see any droppings. The plant will increase it's growth rate and "poison" content once the caterpillars start to eat it. It's a Texas native, so it should be OK without any intervention.

People forget or never realized that reading and writing were highly prized professions. Work was beneath the wealthy so few of them could read and even fewer could write. Scribes were very valuable members of the ruling factions and it was not in their interest to pass on their talents to others outside their circle. This continued for centuries until the printing press was developed in 1440.

glennlab replies on Aug 3, 2021:

@Fernapple Since I'm not a fan of the flavor, I buy my seeds at the asian market, I get about 70 % to sprout and only pay $3 a pound instead of $3 for 1/8 of an ounce. I buy my cilantro the same way for a simalar price difference. I don't eat it either, but the swallowtails like it too. You really have to check on what the local butterflies like. I have adjusted my plantings so that I have a good mix for several varieties.

Most people tend to socialize with those that have similar beliefs and that they can learn from. It is called a comfort zone for a reason.

If I tap the side of the lid, it usually breaks the vacuum seal and I can get it open with no problem. Otherwise I run it quickly under hot water and that loosens it. I also have some gripping tools but I rarely need to use them. I was at an all female dinner party a few years ago and the ...

We have the orange moon all the way over in Illinois too. I just thought it was a pretty moon. Then the meteorologist mentioned that it was caused by the pollution from the fires.

He had a brand new truck, so he had full coverage, as do I, but he claims to not remember anything, so his insurance is holding off until they get the police report. I've got a friend who is one of the better accident lawyers in the DFW area, so I'll probably pay him a visit if it drags out too long or they try to lowball me.

@BDair the three currently being given have concluded phase III trials and have emergency authorization, and are expecting FDA approval, but that is always slow. Your drug has proven fatal in large doses. I have had to take drugs that were experimental, there is a whole protocol that is not being done with off label use.

@BDair That is no different than people that were treating Hepatacic infections with colloidal silver, it did stop all the symptoms and normally lead to death. Until there are peer reviewed studies and not just meta studies of non peer reviewed studies, I'll pass.

Is this a recurring problem? or is it a one off?

glennlab replies on Jul 17, 2021:

@NYTrink About an hour before bed take a long hot shower or bath. When you get into bed, concentrate on your breathing in for 4 counts, hold for 4 count, out for 4 counts, try to think of nothing but breathing, then go to in for 4 out for four, just low steady breathing don't think about anything but your breathing and the counts. I used that method when I still competed to overcome the pre race jitters. I still use it when my mind is racing after I lay down.

There surely are some advantages...

glennlab replies on Jul 14, 2021:

@rainmanjr The catholic church doctrine prohibits providing any sacrements to those that have died in mortal sin. Suicide is considered a mortal sin so bad that they offically prohibit allowing the funeral service to be held in the church, or the body to be buried in a catholic cemetary. Local Bishops may grant exceptions. I have had to officiate at catholic funerals because the local priest would not do it or the family was afraid of a similar diatribe from the priest.
