Sweet Jesus on crutches, I have never had such trouble trying to pay a greedy insurance company before. The human part is telling me I don't owe a first payment because I never enrolled in a plan for 2025 and wants to argue that I'm not actually holding an acceptance letter into the new plan while the automated payment part recognizes me, and has my balance due and wants to take my payment. At least I got it paid.

And just checked account, it's already there pending to be taken out. Useless humans

Yeah....roll on Spring........... although we pass the shortest day shortly...I always Think the lowest part of the year is Jan/Feb.

Well people get sick in ...and sick people die in February.

I suppose we See it more being a retirement area...gods waiting room....but when the phone rings unexpected in February it is nearly always a death.

In the Northern Hemisphere, late Jan through Feb. is when seasonal affective syndrome hits its stride. We humans need more light than most of us manage to get in the winter up here.

I've been using a teaspoon per Gallon of Gnatrol (BT culture) at the first sign of a gnat. I mix it in my nutes the night before I use it. You can tell the BT bacillus is growing in there because the nutes get more cloudy overnight. I read somewhere that the ideal temperature for BT propagation is in the 90's (°F). It shuts the gnats down right away. Another application after 5 days gets any larvae that hatch later, before they can mature and lay more eggs. I tried "mosquito bits" before, but didn't have much success with it, had to apply multiple times. Gnatrol has much more live BT, and no chunks of vermiculite or whatever that is in the mosquito bits that plug up every orifice. I think I got the 4 oz size of Gnatrol, and it might be a lifetime supply for my grow.

Looks like damn good stuff. If I ever do soil indoors again, I will get some. I had mixed results with the mossy bits as well. Gnats are one of the issues that drove me back to coco, and at this point, I expect I will stay there.

I know at 1 point before i finally fell asleep i looked and clock said 6am and my alarm started going off at 8:15! Once it got past 2am i knew an alarm was gonna be necessary! Then i was so wore out it was like 9:30 before i stopped hitting snooze and woke up! Those extra 8 sessions of 9min sleeping increments didn’t help as much as i’d have liked! Shoulda turned alarm off and reset it for 9:30 so coulda got another hour of uninterrupted snoozies!

At this point, does she have to be hot?

Hmmm. Hesitate to answer that one. Suffice to say, hypothetically speaking, that standards seem to decline with hair color... Not that I would know, of course.
