Just looked up "Praying mantis life span." Blew my theory (that this is the same bug) out of the water. They just don't live that long. (Despite the extra protein, jamesp .) It said smaller praying mantis live around one or two months, bigger individuals can live as long as four to six months. A few may survive up to 360 days. The one-year-lifespan in mantises is probably too rare. Do you remember this discussion James? forum.rocktumblinghobby.com/post/738975/thread |

 a little Vincent That what I’m talking about The deviousness of nature Geez ! What advantage is there to kill and cannibalize your lover after sex ? it was a choice the female made for the fittest that the male worked hard to attain Unless it so the female can have other partners With out competition Males are just fodder

Do you remember this discussion James? forum.rocktumblinghobby.com/post/738975/threadDang, was I clever enough to create this statement back then Jean ? Check out the affairs of the Black Widow spider. She is large and heavy. Her lover slim and trim. A source of nutrition. Cannibalistic love at it's pinnacle. The things us men will do for a lady....violins playing You must be getting a new crop of mantis every few months. Love the mantis desert storm color motif. Guessing the females out number the males given the nature of their relationship. Mantis are amazing and have so many shapes and colors. Unfortunately I rarely see them here, Florida yes and some like 5" long and green there. |

Would you like to wash my car ? Just paying attention to detail, at 22 seconds you can see that she only shaved up mid thigh. Common practice back in the 60's and 70's. |

Well, hell, James jamesp, when I was much younger, when it seemed important to do at the time, I only used to shave to just above my knees. Now I don't bother shaving my legs at all, lol. |

Too funny, tell it Jean. About the lower level leg shaving, was that something Mom may have taught back in the day ? |

Too funny, tell it Jean. About the lower level leg shaving, was that something Mom may have taught back in the day ? I am only telling you this, because you asked. Yes and no. My mom used to shave her legs back then, but she was not religious about it. And just up to the middle of the knee, lol. My mom did things she wanted to do for herself, not for other people's benefit. She never gave a rat's ass about what other people thought. I took after her that way.j I went to a parochial school from K - 8th grade. They did not believe younger girls should be shaving their legs, although many of them did. I guess the nuns considered shaved legs too sexy. (What was it Joe Namath used to say? Take it off, take it all off.) I suppose they thought it would make the horny young males more attracted to them, with undesirable consequences. When I left that school after 8th grade and entered the public school system, my mom bought me a woman's electric razor. I used it some, but switched to the multibladed type before long. I stillhave it, it's an antique! |

Antique or vintage rockpickerforever lol ? If memory serves their may have been a moral issue with the shaving method. Seems like big sister and Mom may have had discussions about it. I do remember my sister cutting herself with a razor and must have not had an electric unit. Denise said the hair was so thin above mid thigh she simply didn't shave it. Interesting topic to say the least. Certainly sexy ! |

Two methods I have never used both involve painfully yanking the hairs out by the roots, either with waxing, or using an epilady. I am not into pain, especially for something as frivolous as removing the hair from my legs, lol |

Another primitive plant, the lotus. So I cut 3 stems off just below water at high noon today when photosynthesis was maxed out. Check out the metabolism of these monsters, supposing this to be CO2 running thru the 6 pipes integral to the long rope like root and stem system. Must be miles of rope like roots in this small pond. stems with continuous gas conduits.  fatter root bulges with same continuous gas conduits.  So a single pot of lotus placed in a quarter acre pond will grow so quick it will completely colonize the pond in one season. Imagine them taking over vast flooded areas during a fleeting ice age. They are one of the first plants to colonize massive wetland areas. They provide plenty of food and habitat. It puts out heavy amounts of seeds eaten by early man. The roots are also edible and often served as novelty in expensive restaurants, not tasty unless they are heavily spiced. |

Yes animals do seek out psychplants after an experience
At least that what I've read
Perhaps because they don’t have a strong centered ego
It can be even more of a pleasant trip?
I mean…. true reality shouldn't be scary
I would hope not
But maybe it is
Filtering valves have their purposes…
According to Aldous Huxley
Mescaline removes reducing valves from consciousness
Which are there for very good reasons…mostly
And afford one a truer vision of reality
Of course that fuller grasp can easily overwhelm
the analytical ego being
Anyway I think the psychedelics may have a therapeutic role
But nothing that going to alter the basic core
For some greater good
If that was true
We be in the garden by now

Mushrooms are another source of narcotics and medicines that have been around a long time. I know that deer feed heavily on mushrooms including poisonous mushrooms that would damage a human's kidneys. That dog ain't right RickB. The local cattle farmers feed cows an additive that prevents Psilocybin mushrooms from growing out of cow patties. To keep trespassing mushroom collectors out of their pastures. For Psilocybin treatments check 4:30 in video. |
