Here we go.

Regale us again, Jomo, with the astounding cyberadventures you had with your 386 and your 9,600 baud modem.

Fuuuuck!

Over $1000 in gasoline on my Northern Ontario (and back) camping road trip.

Nice. Might as well fix a leaky toilet rather than scrapping the whole thing.

I ordered a T Shirt from the San Diego Zoo last night, it just shipped this morning.

 

[Dove]

I bought another set of reusable cloth menstrual pads.

And some stuff that you put on your eyes like eyeliner and it stimulates eyelash growth. I dont wear much make up except for lip gloss and mascera so I'm being proactive with my lashes.

Took me around two minutes to install. They make things so easy to fix these days. I should’ve fixed the thing two years ago,

Nice, I have the same print on my stubby cooler.

I bought a can of Off repellent for a hike..

It didn't seem like it was much more expensive.

Hi Fash. I didn’t realise that Off! was available your end. Sweet.

Off is the go to here! While you can buy citrus based repellent, it's not as effective. The skeeters are MEAN this year. I buy Deep Woods Off, 30% DEET.

We also have Bushman Plus with 80% DEET and sunscreen in one. Heavy duty stuff! Probably make your skin glow in the dark lol

I'm over here with my pricey deet free stuff that doubles as a bug bite rub.

It works very well though.

That's a lot of DEET! Years ago Canada limited DEET content to 30% for some reason. At that time they also banned DEET/sunscreen combos too. Not sure why, but probably to appease some small but vocal special interest group...

I tried some DEET free spray, but the skeeters are just too thirsty this year here! They are BRUTAL in the evening! Hosing myself down with chemicals is the only way to keep them at bay.

I didnt really get bit a whole lot normally. They like to bite my toes and that's the WORST. When they nail you right under your toe nail. I HATE that.

I like to be barefoot a lot....and I have these wrap sandles I wear all summer unless I'm running....so my feet and a target. They really go for the rest of my body too much.

Same with my kids.....this stuff works really well for us. It took going through a few different kinds though. I like to stay as clean and organic as possible and stay as local as possible. The stuff I use now isnt local, but it is a small business.

If you want to go very natural, herbs like Lemongrass and Basil rubbed on the skin works. Rosemary and Lavender too.

Well…it’s a deterrent at least. ;)

Yeah I'm using Sallye Ander "No Bite Me".

It has eugnol, cedarwood oil, lemongrass oil, geranium oil, spearmint oil, thyme oil, clove oil, rosemary oil....purified water, olive oil blend, beeswax, rosemary needle and frankincense powder.

And yes I just listed off the ingredient list LOL. It actually smells good and feels good on the skin. It's pretty moisturizing. And it really does take the itch out of a bug bite too.

I grow a few of those herbs around the garden because the majority of my outdoor plants are bromeliads, and the mozzies breed like hell in their little cups.

Squish grew a bunch of rosemary this year. She used A LOT of seeds so we have a ton of it right now lol

She grew tomatoes as well and shes super proud of her plants lol.

Lots of groceries...

 

[The Prowler]

I use this stuff...I carry the little bottles with me on hikes and spray it on if I need it...

Nice! If you ever buy Off, buy the dry version. The regular version is greasy as fuck!

Yep! Toilets are easy to rebuild. Did my basement shitter not long ago... Fill valve, flush valve, and tank to seat gasket!

Maybe not a purchase, but renting pic below for a day. It'll be dropped off tomorrow morning. Need to pump my septic tank, and the soil covering it is clay that's almost as hard as concrete. Once I get the two access covers cleared, I'll install 12" risers so I don't have to do this again. I'll also amend the clay with some actual soil, so grass will grow properly. I want to fix up a portion of my gravel driveway also. So tomorrow, I R machine operator!

When we had that toilet paper shortage after Covid broke out and everyone went mental and starting unnecessarily stocking up, I had to use some rough-arsed paper towels as a temporary substitute. So I decided to install this bidet kit. It was so easy to install, that I wished I had done it sooner.

PS: it’s not great in winter mind you as your naught can go into shock with the low temperatures. But 3 out of 4 seasons ain’t bad…

I find damp washcloths to do a suitable job also... Not sure I want to spray a bunch of water in my ass crack! Although I could hop in the shower if I really had to I suppose!

Mate, the first time I sprayed water onto my naught was in Indonesia. After an initial mishap with the pressure nozzle, I absolutely loved it. I felt positively clean and vibrant. It’s great when one needs to day-crap and a shower isn’t an option.

I've heard people say good things about them, but for those of us in North America it's still a foreign concept... I have never seen a bidet equipped shitter in my life!
