  1. If you have larvae, and they eat the leaves, it's not aphids. Aphid young are called nymphs, and they suck the plant sap, rather than eat tissue. Correct diagnosis is important for efficient control.
  2. Cassie has the answer.

    I can't resist: https://satwcomic.com/nothing-is-perfect PS the comments to this SATW comic are hilarious too. Especially the one about how to pronounce the name of the Icelandic national park Þingvellir.
  6. Oh, I don't mind about more drama between the two guys. But I shall be upset if Aidan doesn't use his new deal with Heathcliff to tell the people who exploit him a work to take a hike.
  7. Good point - I'll just watch them on TV.

    I know the feeling. It's why I try to avoid writing short stories, because the hungry birds start chirping for more.

    Aahh,, I wondered if this was the case. But did they also met like this the first time after they broke up? Also, the name Günther had me because in Danmark 'en ordentlig Günther' ia a very large Very good take on the prompt, Aditus.
  10. Doesn't mean we're not scared of Nature. https://satwcomic.com/wonderful-nature https://satwcomic.com/too-big-for-denmark https://satwcomic.com/not-a-nature-lover https://satwcomic.com/happy-friendly-animals not like some Australians https://satwcomic.com/how-to-deal-with-animals
  11. Off to bed with you, Drewbear. Sleep well and have some naughty nice dreams. Or you could catch up on Rob and Co in my Prompt story
  12. @Brayon I agree with your choice of story to recommend. It's not always an easy read, but it grips your heart. @Renee Stevens God bedring ! (that's Danish for I hope you get better soon)
  13. Much more sensible than humans using it for mouthwash No, sadly not. This is a pet hate of mine. Nothing wrong with Listerine if used like Kitt does. But mouthwash is a marketing hoax and halitosis was invented by Listerine in order to sell their product. Brushing your teeth (and tongue) and flossing are the best way to promote good mouth hygiene and avoid bad breath. Or use sugar free mint or chewing gum. (I also sent you a longer PM on the topic. This is what happens when you say the L word or the M word to me.)
  14. Who, me ? No, no, in spite of being a Dane, I'm a law abiding citizen. I only rant about it and refuse to read, like or comment on any story where it's used.
  15. Fair enough - I can totally understand such an argument. I mainly reacted to you 'bragging' about killing a spider, like it was a good thing.
  16. If you have spiders which bite, then I guess you're justified in killing them. You'll note I only talked about European spiders, which don't cause any harm to humans as far as I know. But I don't go around smashing bottles of mouth wash. And like I said, I can totally understand fearing or hating spiders, just not to the point of killing them in Europe.
  17. Of course, allergy is a good reason to worry about spiders in the house, and I'm not dissing people who fear spiders, since I panic when I meet a wasp. But maybe asking someone to put them outside rather than kill them could achieve the same purpose of avoiding contact ?
  18. Why do you kill a harmless, useful spider ? They eat flies and mosquitoes which are much more annoying, and in some cases carry disease. I can understand putting it outside, but killing a native European spider is senseless (the most polite word I could come up with). Australians are excused for swatting their venomous ones, lol, but even they should be grateful to have fly-killing creatures around.
  19. Another way of selling the idea of the food bank to Eric would be to tell him to view this as compensation for not being paid enough for his labor while he worked, and for losing his home help due to cuts. That people who donate see it as a way to give to those who deserve a helping hand. In the best version it would be like going to the supermarket, but not paying. And who knows, he might find a friend or two, who will understand what it's like to have struggled to make ends meet all his life. Oh, and why hasn't Eric said something about the tea? Adam will be mortified when he finds out. If he went to the trouble of getting Eric's chair, making a stronger cup of tea for him would be a piece of cake.

    I had the feeling something was wrong with Ranegar when he said he didn't have as much power as he used to. Whatever it was, Rhys and Kieran fixed it with the healing. Now they have a knowledgeable and strong ally.

    Not to worry, it works well the way it is. Wolfgang should have know better than to invite Franklin without asking Jed first. But at least the guy was genuinely attracted to them beforehand, and he enjoyed the sex.
  22. Ohhh, a nice Rob First Line Prompt, or maybe I should do the unexpected and give it to someone else.
  23. So what will happen after the update ? Will the editors now be listed alphabetically, or by the order we entered them ? And will this apply to already posted stories or only future stories ?
  24. Oh yes, I'd almost forgotten about Silly Gilly nearly killing the guy who saved him. I had to go read the story again, to remind me. We definitely need to know what happens next.

    At least Nathan now knows he can tale more time off to go on trips with Jaymes. He can afford it too, when he gets his inheritance.
