Actually, I’ve met D9 members that are into cars. Not to the level I am to where they’ve made a career out of it though, like I have. I’m a pure petrolhead, brother.

With gangsters, for the record, they’re all thugs, to me. But, here’s an interesting clip about Frank Lucas.

Lol! You literally travel to buy? How about Sanford and Son’s pickup truck. Do you have that? Lol

As it happens, I had parked my car directly in front of his grave. LOL

If you're into gangsters, Baby Face Nelson is buried at Saint Joseph's Cemetery in River Grove, IL ("Chicago"). His name is actually Lester Gillis, which is what his grave marker reads. He's on the very south end of section C, pretty close the the roadway and near the triangular intersection.

This is interesting, navane. Thank you for posting this. That would be an interesting see I can add to the other historical sites I’ve been to. When I was in undergrad, my sister was living downtown Chicago, which was the midway point from my 13-hour drive to home from college. While I was in Chicago visiting my sister, she took me on a historical Chicago tour bus guide. Many of those spots and buildings were where a lot of notorious gangster activity took place. I also went to see where John Dillinger was when he was killed, the Biograph Theater. They still show movies in the same building and theater where he was watching a movie. I also saw the bullet holes in the wall by the alley where he died. Interesting, historical stuff.

Actually, I do. Mine doesn’t say “Sanford and Son Salvage” on the doors, but it is a red 1951 Ford F1 pickup truck — same truck in Sanford and Son. I have a green one, too. I used that one in a diorama I had on display in an art museum for black history month a couple of years ago.

WIFLSRN: My patient list is long tomorrow, starting with my first patient, lol.

I’d call in sick. Wtf could be wrong with a damn spider? Just kill it and tell the owner to get another one.

The museum reaches out to local artists they want to participate for black history month.

I’d say “Bring him in. I’ll take a look at him.” Once he came in, that’s exactly what I’d do. Look at him. Wouldn’t even open up the container he’s in, I’d just look at him, and then tell the owner, “I’m going to need to keep him overnight.” When he asked why and what’s wrong with him. I’d make up some bs and say “From looking at him, he definitely has the rona, as in coronavirus. We’ll need to keep him overnight for evaluation.”

Man, I’d go to Menards and buy three foggers, let them off in the container, put a towel on top of it, put it outside, and go home. Tell the owner the next day, “he didn’t make it.”

I laughed really, really hard at these posts. Hilarious!

Ok, so my first patient today was a Honduran Curly Hair tarantula. Her (she’s a female) original habitat is in or around Central America, so she needs quite a bit of humidity, and because she has very little provided to her by her owner, she was having problems molting, so part of her exoskeleton was still stuck to her when she came in this morning. Her owner is a first time owner of a pet spider and didn’t know what kind of species he had. She needs lots of heat and humidity.

And for the record, tarantulas and other arachnids can get host specific viruses and parasites, but Covid-19 isn’t one of them, lol.

How’d you get it unstuck? I can’t believe you picked up a big ass spider like that, CG.

I thought you said viruses aren’t living. I’m just observing you said “host specific” which I thought were associated with parasites.

I didn’t have to. Plus, tarantulas should be left alone during a molt, unless they’re having life threatening trouble molting. That’s why the high humidity is important. Hers was almost entirely detached, so the humidity will help it to detach on its own.

They’re not. Viruses are obligatory intracellular parasites, which means they cannot reproduce outside of a living cell. Yes, both viruses and parasites can be host specific.

This thread has been ghost all day.

WIFLSRN: I’m exhausted. The state fair was fun, but the state fair + my kids + lots of people + the sun’s heat = drained. I am so tired physically, and I’m mentally drained, too. Feels so good to be home, in bed, and relaxed. Sigh.

I’d have made it seem like I misunderstood the agreement. I’d have told her I thought you wanted me to hit it in the meantime until we found out the IVF was successful or if it wasn’t, with me tappin it, the chances of us getting a baby would be higher. I’d tell her I thought you knew I was hittin it. I thought that’s what we agreed to.
