We never wanted to pick up horned toads, because we thought it hurt the horned toad to squirt the blood. I still don't know if it does or doesn't.

Well, we were kids. What did we know. It was probably some squeamish adult who didn't want us touching them and knew the way to convince us. I'm pretty sure that I or one of the other kids would have replied that the blood squirting thing was nifty.Hi taxy....in decades of desert dwelling, I've never seen or heard of them using that defense mechanism with a human. Maybe they don't see humans as predators that want to eat them. Dunno...
Probably, Taxy!

Fixin' to spend a little time chopping salad veggies. I just looked through my fridge veggie bins and have several tri colored peppers, a couple of cukes, red onion, carrots, celery, radishes....all kinds of stuff I use for salads. I love salads and have been having them so much lately, but chopping everything at the last minute is becoming tedious. I want to grab handfuls of already prepped veggies for the next couple of days. Cukes will go in a separate container since they are the most watery.
I'm going to make croutons, too - found several slices of sourdough in the freezer that I was saving just for that purpose. YUM
A friend of mine calls ratatouille "cooked salad".Sounds like you just solved your problem. Keep all of those foods in separate zippy bags and clip them all together. Then just grab them all at the same time. That way you won't leave one of the zippy bags behind.
Oh how I wish I could eat salads. Can't digest raw roughage. And a cooked salad just sounds totally yucky!
Why couldn't I do that when our kids were small???...not blood they squirt, but some other red colored fluid. Still a cool super-power though.
Munky, do you have the 15" loom, or the 25" one? Our artsy niece had found a huge used loom years ago. It must have been wide enough to weave a tablecloth! I'm guessing she no longer has it since her home is way smaller that her parents' old house.
Nah, warping is easy. Just put it in a damp basement and see how fast it war...oh, wrong "warp". Sorry.Chef Munky;1474529... said:Warping can be challenging after a while.
You start to see stripes and checkers everywhere!
Ooo, can I join you?Chef Munky;1474529... said:That would be ok if you've had a few
When you haven't..Man, that's when you walk away and take a break.
and go fix one! IF, you can't beat them, join em'
Oh man, I hate that dilated pupils thing. They tell me it goes away in an hour or two. Yeah, right, maybe for some people. Eight hours later, I'm still feeling it. At least I have learned to take the bus to see my ophthalmologist. He doesn't always do the pupil dilating thing, but often. Then I take a taxi home. Thank goodness it's less than 2 km, so the taxi doesn't cost an arm and a leg.Gack! Why is it all my appointments coagulate around the same time? I did manage to get to my eye appointment yesterday after several reschedulings, and spent most of the day stumbling around with dilated pupils. Beagle goes in to get her shots tomorrow, and of course it coincides with my own tooth cleaning appointment. I rescheduled that.
