2024.05.14 03:34 IntentionalChaos214 We made my ex's live in girlfriend think he was a gay drag queen.

I am now older (43f) and wiser and far more subtle in my petty revenge ...but, at this time? I was younger (21) angry, petty, spurred on my an equally petty friend (22f then), and he deserved it.
I had a get together for Halloween with a few friends. It was the usual early 20s social situation with drinks, cards and tequila shots. (I know... I know.)
A guy I had previously had a fling with (truly nothing serious--he was just tall, cute as all hell and had adorable dimples but our personalities didn't mesh) was invited as a friend. No big deal.
Card game turned into Texas Hold Em and bizarre dares after you were out of poker chips. My "ex" was losing BADLY. What started as us daring him to strip somehow escalated to him running outside, nude and in 2 feet of snow, to the pond behind the apartment buildings to acquire a cup of water... and then escalated to him going, in VERY sloppy drag, to the grocery store to buy an eggplant, lube, and condoms.
Now... this is all ridiculous already. (Tequila is a bad decision, kids!) A truly memorable but insane night that can ONLY be survived or created in your early 20s.
My friend (who spurred me on) and him began flirting and things escalated a bit between them. There were photos of him in drag taken, and photos of him with my friend as well.
They made plans to see a movie a couple days later after a few calls...
He never showed up and then ghosted her.
Could we have blown it off and moved on?
Absolutely.
Did we?
Hell freaking no.
We did a bit of online stalking and found out he not only HAD A GIRLFRIEND but was LIVING with her! (Where do these people find the time for this... and how do you NOT ask questions when your man doesn't come home?!)
We hatched a plan.
We took the photos and printed them... of him in drag flirting with my friend, nude with the cup, and doing lap dances on guys in drag.
We sent them, 1 by 1 in an order telling a story... every other day... by mail... to his girlfriend.
Did we stop there?
HELL NO.
We signed him up for drag clothing catalogs and sex toys created especially for gay men. We sent him about $200 worth of the most bizarre "eggplant" items we could find including straws, a hat that sort of resembled a penis shaped Pope hat, etc.
After 2 weeks of those packages... that we made sure would be delivered when HE was gone and SHE was home (but addressed to him and, in quotes, his goofy name from that night) we did 1 more thing...
20 lbs of the most powder fine glitter we could find in a glitter bomb.
She dumped him within a month... and he's a cheater to this day in his relationships.
The lesson?
Don't cheat... and don't piss off 2 petty women at the same time.

2024.05.13 16:14 Leather_Focus_6535 The currently 124 offenders executed by the state of Oklahoma since the 1970s (warning, graphic content, please read at your own risk) [part 1, cases 1-62]

This is the list that I wrote for Oklahoma's execution roster since the nationwide reinstatement of capital punishment in the late 1970s. Something that should be mentioned is that given the nature of many death penalty related crimes, many of the descriptions contain very disturbing details. Please read at your own risk.
Florida's list is next, and I'll post my list for Texas once I've completed it. With Texas, I've currently finished 464 entries out of the 587 cases to date. That will probably take 7 or 8 posts for it all to be released, so I'll probably do two posts a day with Texas to avoid spamming the sub. At the end of this year, I'll repost the states that have conducted further executions with the updated information.
As with Missouri and Virginia, Reddit's maximum character count limitations forced me to divide Oklahoma's list into two separate parts. Here is the link to part 2.
The currently 124 executed offenders, cases 1 to 62:
1. Charles Coleman (~1950s-1990, lethal injection): A month after he was released on parole in 1979, Coleman broke into a house. While sacking it for any valuables, the homeowner’s brother and sister in law, 68 year old John and 62 year old Roxie Seward, walked in on him and were both shot dead. Coleman stole Roxie’s purse, several packets of frozen meat, and the homeowner’s watch during the burglary, and was arrested shortly afterwards. However, Coleman managed to escape custody, and went on a rampage that involved several burglaries, auto thefts, slitting the throat of a policeman in a failed murder attempt, the shooting death of 49 year old Russell Lewis Jr. in a carjacking, and the abduction of a deputy. The kidnapped deputy was rescued following an armed standoff with other police officers. Coleman had an extensive history of animal cruelty, armed robberies, assaults, and carrying concealed weapons convictions dating back to when he was 11 years old. He was also heavily suspected in the murder of his teenage girlfriend’s father, but was acquitted by the courts despite the prosecution’s strong belief in his guilt.
2. Robyn Parks (1977-1992, lethal injection): During a gas station robbery, Parks shot and killed Abdullah Ibrahim, a 24 year old Bangladeshi immigrant that worked as the attendant. According to Parks, he murdered Ibrahim for catching him using a stolen credit card.
3. Olan Randle (1980-1992, lethal injection): Randle invaded a home and shot the occupants, 41 year old Robert Swinford, Sinford's fiance 42 year old Averil Bourque, and Bourque's friend 38 year old Julia Lovejoy, dead. He took a pocket knife and several watches from the victims.
4. Thomas Grasso (~1970s(?)-1995, lethal injection): While living in Oklahoma, Grasso strangled 87 year old Hilda Johnson, the best friend of his girlfriend's grandmother, to death with her Christmas lights. He took $8 from her purse, several coins that added up to $4, and a television set that he sold for $125. Grasso then moved to New York, and strangled 81 year old Leslie Holtz for his social security check. The trialing arrangements caused some controversy, as the New York governors at the time were anti death penalty, and tried to prevent Grasso's extradition in favor of giving him a life sentence in their jurisdiction. Grasso had several previous convictions for theft and was fired multiple times for stealing from his jobs.
5. Roger Stafford (~1974(?)-1995, lethal injection): Stafford was condemned for killing at least 9 people in two separate robbery incidents with his brother and ex wife, though his ex wife claimed that he was involved with as many as 34 murders nationwide. The first convicted incident was when he and the ex wife carjacked and fatally shot a couple, 38 year old Melvin and 31 year old Linda Lorenz, and their son, 12 year old Richard. A few weeks after the Lorenz murders, Stafford stormed a restaurant and gunned down 6 employees, 56 year old Isaac Freeman, 43 year old Louis Zacarias, 17 year old Anthony Tew, 17 year old David Lindsey, 16 year old David Salsman, and 15 year old Terri Horst. One of Stafford's additional attributed victims was 20 year old Jimmy Berry, who was killed in the hold up of an Alabaman McDonalds, but he wasn't charged by the state due to his death sentences in Oklahoma.
6. Robert Brecheen (1983-1995, lethal injection): Breechen was involved in a feud over money with 59 year old Mary Stubbs and her husband. In an attempt to take what he perceived was owed to him, Breechen carried out a night time burglary of their home. While rummaging through the house, Breechen stumbled upon old Marie in her living room and shot her to death. The gunshots and screams awoke her husband, and he chased him away with his own gun.
7. Benjamin Brewer (1978-1996, lethal injection): Brewer raped his neighbor, 20 year old Karen Stapleton, in her home and stabbed her to death
8. Steven Hatch (1979-1996, lethal injection): Hatch and another assailant, Glen Ake, forced themselves inside the home that Richard Dougass, a 43 year old reverend, shared with his wife, 36 year old Marilyn, and their two children, 16 year old Brooks and 12 year old Lesile. The pair tied up the family and raped Lesile in front of her parents and brother. All four family members were shot, and Hatch and Ake ran off with $43 and the parents’ wedding rings. Richard and Marilyn were both killed in the shootings, while their children survived the attack. Ake was also initially condemned for the attack, but his sentence was overturned and resentenced to life following mental health concerns, and passed away from undisclosed natural causes in 2011.
9. Scott Carpenter (1994-1997, lethal injection): In a convenience store robbery, Carpenter stabbed the owner, 56 year old A. J. Kelley, in the neck, and hid the body in the minnow room. He filled his truck with $37 worth of gas from the pumps and drove away from the scene. His execution caused some controversy, as it was reported that Carpenter gasped and spasmed for 11 minutes after being injected.
10. Michael Long (1997-1998, lethal injection): Enraged that his coworker, 24 year old Sheryl Graber, refused him sex and started screaming for help, he stabbed her over 31 times. Long also shot and killed her son, 5 year old Andrew, for being a witness.
11. Stephen Wood (1992-1998, lethal injection): While heavily intoxicated, Wood stabbed two other homeless men, 46 year old Charles Stephen and 34 year old Charles Von Johnson, dozens of times each. He was given a life sentence for both of their murders. During his incarceration, Robert Brigden, a 59 year old former minister that was serving a 40 year sentence for molesting several girls between the ages of 4-14 in his congregation, moved into his unit after refusing to go into protective custody. Woods killed Brigden in a stabbing attack, and his sentence was escalated to death by the courts for it.
12. Tuan Anh Nguyen (~1982-1998, lethal injection): By all accounts, Nguyen was jealously possessive over his wife, 21 year old Donna. During one of their arguments over his behavior, he stabbed Donna, her 6 year old nephew Joseph White, and her 3 year old niece Amanda White, in their home and left the bodies to be found by the children’s parents. He fled to Arizona, groomed a 14 year old girl into an illicit “relationship”, and impregnated her. After he convinced her to move in with him, Nguyen physically and sexually abused the girl until she fled and went to the local police for help. Nguyen was then deported back to Oklahoma to face trial for Donna and the White children’s slayings, and was sentenced to death for them.
13. John Duvall (1986-1998, lethal injection): During a fight with his wife, 30 year old Donna, Duvall stabbed and suffocated her to death with a pillow.
14. John Castro Sr. (1983-1999, lethal injection): Castro carjacked Beulah Cox, a 31 year old Oklahoma State University student, after she picked him up hitchhiking and shot her to death. A few months later, Castro held up a restaurant with an empty pistol, and attacked the manger, 29 year old Rhonda Pappan, after forcing her to open the register. During their struggle, Pappan was fatally stabbed, and he took off with her purse. During his mid teens, Castro was allegedly molested by his mother. Castro's attorneys made the argument that his glimpses of Cox's buttocks reminded him of his mother's reported abuse, and he was triggered into attacking her for it.
15. Sean Sellers (1985-1999, lethal injection): In 1985, a then 15 year old Sellers tried to buy beer from a convenience store, but the clerk, 32 year old Robert Bower, denied him due to being underaged at the time. Sellers gunned him down in a fit of rage. A year later, Sellers shot and killed his mother, 32 year old Vonda Bellofatto, and stepfather, 43 year old Paul, in their sleep. Due to being 16 at the time of his conviction, Sellers remains the youngest condemned offender to have his sentence carried out in the post Furman era. He also attracted national media attention for claiming that his crimes were the result of demonic possession.
16. Scotty Moore (1983-1999, lethal injection): Moore was fired from a motel for undisclosed reasons. In retaliation, Moore and a cousin (whom he was dating at the time), assaulted the motel, and gunned down the desk clerk, 42 year old Alex Fernandez. According to court documents, the pair took a total of $97 in the robbery.
17. Norman Newsted (1984-1999, lethal injection): Newsted tricked Lawrence Buckley, a 26 year old cab driver, into picking him up. He shot Buckley dead and took his wallet. In an attempt to cover his tracks, Newsted placed the body inside the cab, and drove it into a creek near a local church. Despite his best efforts, Buckley’s cab and remains were discovered a day later by the church’s pastor.
18. Cornel Cooks (1982-1999, lethal injection): Cooks and his accomplice broke into the home of 87 year old Jennie Ridling. She was gagged, raped, and suffocated to death with gauze wrappings.

19. Bobby Ross (1983-1999, lethal injection): While robbing an inn, Ross fatally shot a police officer, 30 year old Steve Mahan, that tried to intervene.
20. Malcolm Johnson (~1970s(?)-2000, lethal injection): Johnson invaded the apartment of 76 year old Ura Thompson and sexually assaulted her. Thompson either died from having her chest compounded during the abuse or was suffocated by Johnson’s hands covering her nose. He seized several possessions such as furs, typewriters, purse, watch, rings, and a hand mirror, which were discovered by police in his residence during an unrelated investigation of a firearms possession charge. Johnson had an extensive criminal history, which included several convictions of rape, armed robberies, and burglaries. The case attracted controversy when it was discovered that the lead chemist in the investigation misconducted several of her other cases, and forged some of the evidence used in the trial. Despite the other overwhelming evidence to the contrary, Johnson’s supporters took the opportunity to push a narrative of his innocence.
21. Gary Walker (~1960s-2000, lethal injection): Walker abducted, raped, and murdered at least 5 women, 36 year old Margaret Lydick, 35 year old Jane Hilburn, 32 year old Janet Jewell, 25 year old Valerie Shaw-Hartzell, and 24 year old DeRonda Roy, and non fatally assaulted several other women and teenage girls. The victims were mostly strangled to death with their bras and panties. Some of them were forced to withdraw hundreds of dollars from ATMs before they were killed. He also strangled a man, 63 year old Eddie Cash, with an electrical cord while robbing his home. Walker had dozens of previous convictions for burglary, carjacking, drug possession, and carrying concealed weapons. Some of his earliest arrests occurred when he was a teenager.
22. Michael Roberts (~1988-2000, lethal injection): A career burglar, Roberts was condemned for murder of 80 year old Lula Brooks. She was raped and her throat was slit by an intruder in her home. Roberts' death sentence and execution has been contested, as he was convicted on his later recounted testimony alone. He claimed that the investigators tricked him into confessing with the promise of a plea deal that was allegedly withheld from him.
23. Kelly Rogers (1990-2000, lethal injection): Rogers’ girlfriend lured 21 year old Karen Lauffenburger into her apartment with a fake pizza order. They accosted her when she arrived with the delivery. After the couple forced Lauffenburger to hand to over the $40 she earned from the night's pizza deliveries and withdraw $175 from an ATM, Rogers raped and stabbed her to death. The body was left in Lauffenburger’s apartment and was found by her boyfriend.
24. Ronald Boyd (1986-2000, lethal injection): During a robbery spree of several gas stations and supermarkets, Boyd engaged in a shootout with the responding officers. A Master Patrolman, 32 year old Richard Riggs, was killed in the exchange.

He arranged for her to entice Wiley to their home with an order. When he arrived with the delivery, Foster stabbed and bludgeoned him to death with a baseball bat. He a history of convictions involving threats and violence, though my sources didn’t disclose any specific details.
26. James Robedeaux (1978-2000, lethal injection): In 1978, Robedeaux strangled his first wife, 30 year old Linda, and plead guilty to a second degree murder charges. He was released after serving 6 out of a 25 year sentence despite an escape attempt. In the following year, he began a relationship with 37 year old Nancy McKinney while he married a different woman. During an argument, Robedeaux beat McKinney to death, dismembered her body with a saw and machete, and scattered the remains across the state. While being investigated for McKinney's murder, he was arrested for choking and beating his estranged second wife. The cases were incidental and kept separate by the courts.
27. Roger Berget (~1985-2000, lethal injection): Berget carjacked and abducted 33 year old Rick Patterson with an accomplice, and shot him dead. He also admitted to the beating death of a roommate, 40 year old James Meadows, on the behalf of the man's wife. As a trivial side note, Berget's brother Rodney was executed in 2018 by the state of South Dakota for killing a prison guard [for more information, please see Rodney Berget's entry under the South Dakota section of my states with less then 10 executions post].
28. William Bryson (1988-2000, lethal injection): To collect a $300,000 life insurance policy, Marilyn Plantz recruited her boyfriend Byrson and his friend to kill her husband, 33 year old James.

His crimes were exposed when an 18 year old man he abducted escaped from him despite being shot and stabbed numerous times. By his own admission, Wallace murdered 18 year old Thomas Reed, 15 year old William Domer, 14 year old Mark McLaughlin, 14 year old Jeffrey Foster, and 12 year old Alonzo Cade.

32. Wanda Allen (~1981-2001, lethal injection): In 1981, Allen got into a fight with her live in girlfriend, 21 year old Dedra Pettus, and shot her dead.

While incarcerated, she started dating a fellow inmate, 29 year old Gloria Leathers, and continued their relationship outside of prison. The couple’s relationship was marred with extreme domestic violence on Allen’s end. In one incident, Allen struck Leathers with a rake. In 1989, while they were arguing in front of a shopping center, Allen shot and killed Leathers. Leathers herself also had history of violence, and had a conviction for stabbing a woman to death. Allen and her defense team tried to use Leathers’ previous convictions to make a self defense argument, but that was shot down by the courts.
33. Floyd Medlock (1990-2001, lethal injection): 7 year old Katherine Busch went to visit her family's old apartment, which Medlock was residing in, by herself. Busch knocked on the door and Medlock let her inside after she begged for food. He then choked and sexually assaulted the girl, dunked her head in a toilet bowl, and stabbed her to death. The body was hidden in a nearby dumpster. Busch's grandmothers were staunch pro capital punishment and anti death penalty activists respectively, and their public feud over Medlock's sentence and execution attracted some media attention.

34. Dion Smallwood (1992-2001, lethal injection): Smallwood walked into the home of his ex girlfriend's adoptive stepmother, 68 year old Lois Frederick, without invitation.

He ransacked the house and dumped Beck's body in a field. A second murder, the robbery and shooting death of a Texan man, 77 year old Shirley Fox, was also tied to him. However, authorities in Texas withheld from prosecuting Fredrick due to his death penalty trial and conviction in Oklahoma. Both Fox and Beck had physical disabilities, which led prosecutors to the conclusion that Frederick intentionally selected and depredated on disabled men.
53. Jerry McCracken (~1980s(?)-2002, lethal injection): McCracken and his accomplice shot up a bar, killed 3 patrons and the bartender, and made off with $350.

58. Walanzo Robinson (1989-2003, lethal injection): A member of the Gangster Bloods street gang, Robinson shot and killed 26 year old Dennis Hill, an affiliate of a rival gang, in a turf war over drug sales.
59. John Hooker (~1971-2003, lethal injection): As a teenager in 1971, Hooker attended a party at a friend's house, and got into an argument. In a fit of anger, he fatally shot 18 year old Alta Lang, and wounded two other partygoers. Due to the witnesses refusing to cooperate with the investigation and being unable to prove any calculated intentions, Hooker was given a manslaughter conviction, and released a few years later. After he was paroled, Hooker started dating Sylvia Stokes, and fathered several children with her. Their troubled relationship lasted for 8 years, and ended when Stokes filed a protection order against him. In retaliation, Hooker lured Stokes and her mother, 53 year old Durcilla Morgan, into his apartment and stabbed them both to death.
60. Scot Hain (~1980s-2003, lethal injection): Hain carjacked and abducted a couple, 27 year old Michael Houghton and 22 year old Laura Sanders. After taking $565 and some bags of clothing, he forced them into the trunk of their car at gunpoint, and burned them alive in it. He had several previous arrests for robbery, and was involved with a number of rapes and attempted kidnappings months before the Houghton and Sanders' murders.
61. Don Hawkins Jr. (1985-2003, lethal injection): Hawkins kidnapped 29 year old Linda Ann Thompson and her two daughters, aged 4 years old and 18 months old, from a mall. Although his original intentions were to ransom off Thompson and her children, Hawkins gang raped the captive woman with his cousin and his girlfriend's teenage nephew, and drowned her in a lake. Thompson's children were spared and simply left with a babysitter. Hawkins and his accomplice then went on a nation wide rampage with his accomplice that involved the abductions and rapes of several grown women and teenage girls, hanging 31 year old David Coupez of Colorado in his home while robbing him, and countless other robberies.
62. Larry Jackson (~1984-2003, lethal injection): In 1984, Jackson shot and killed his girlfriend, 19 year old Freda Washington. He accepted a plea deal that dumbed down the charges to second degree murder, and was given a 30 year sentence for it. During his incarceration, Jackson started a relationship with 29 year old Wendy Cade. Despite her promises of marriage after his release, Cade left him for another man, and they got engaged. When Jackson was assigned to a prison work crew, he snuck out and went to confront Cade. Reportedly, the two had bought alchool, cocaine, and cigerates together and had sex in Cade's apartment. However, they got into an argument, and he slashed Cade's throat and stabbed her 31 times with box cutters. Jackson then left with her jewelry, watch, and the keys to her jeep.

Early season peppers
Early season peppers
Usually I struggle with peppers, only managing to begin harvesting them in late summer or early fall. NE Texas, 8a. This year, I wanted to see if it might be possible to push the crop ahead. Harvested enough today, 6 May, to make a generous skillet supper.
Started seeds 12 Jan. Potted them up 24 Feb. Planted them outside 28 March. Protected them outdoors with Wall-of-Water insulating teepees, which I removed on 14 April, which is our 90% frost-free date.
Today’s peppers are sweet varieties: Jimmy Nardello, Shishito, Manganji, and Txorixero. Have some others, mildly spicy varieties, that aren’t quite ready to pick yet. Numex Heritage 6-4, Big Jim, and Guiseppe Hatch. These have, however, all set plenty of small fruit.
All are growing in 7-gallon fabric grow bags. 18 plants. Also planted a trap crop of radishes around the base of each pepper plant. Have been gradually eating the radishes and replacing them with straw mulch.
I plan to use most of these peppers green this month and next, then let the remainder stay on the plant to turn red. Our season usually ends in early November.

2024.05.06 18:18 BulkyAir9762 Newborn mantis not eating

I have a praying, mantis, that hatched yesterday. I kept a few of the babies and put the egg sack outside so they could hatch out there.
I separated the babies and have been giving them fruit flies from Petsmart, but they have not eaten. It’s only been maybe like 15 hours since the hatch, but I don’t know what to do! They are very small.
This is in Texas, USA (Pls don’t attack me)

What laid these eggs in my garden?
Went out out after all the rain we've had to check the vegetable garden and found these all over and around my marigolds. Figuring once they hatch they will devour something in the garden. Just want to be able to identify what is attacking this time.
I'm in North Texas area.

2024.04.28 17:23 SciFiTime Alien, Texas Hold'em Poker and Cold Ones

Zog, an intrepid explorer from the planet Xelon, found himself hurtling through the vast expanse of space after an unforeseen malfunction in his spaceship. He had been on a mission to learn about different civilizations and their unique customs when disaster struck, leaving him stranded and alone.
As luck would have it, Zog crash-landed in a small town in Texas, where he was discovered by Jake, a kind-hearted rancher with a penchant for adventure. Jake had been out riding his horse when he stumbled upon the wreckage of the alien spaceship.
Curiosity piqued, Jake cautiously approached the crashed vessel. To his amazement, he found a scaly green creature with numerous eyes and tentacle-like appendages emerging from the wreckage. Despite the initial shock, Jake's compassionate nature took over, and he extended a helping hand to the stranded alien.
Zog, grateful for the assistance, communicated with Jake through a universal translator device. He explained his predicament and his desire to learn more about Earth and its inhabitants. Intrigued by Zog's story, Jake offered his hospitality and a place to stay while they figured out a way to repair the spaceship.
Weeks passed as Zog acclimated to life on Earth, immersing himself in the local culture. One evening, Jake invited Zog to join him in a friendly game of Texas Hold'em poker at a local saloon. Zog, always eager for new experiences, agreed without hesitation.
The dimly lit room was filled with the smoky haze of anticipation as the final round of the poker game unfolded. Zog, seated beside Jake, observed the players with a mix of fascination and curiosity. The colorful assortment of chips and the players' air of confidence intrigued him.
"Alright Zog, let's show you the ropes," Jake said with a mischievous grin. He began explaining the rules of Texas Hold'em, starting with the basics. "You see, in this game, each player is dealt two private cards, and then five community cards are placed face-up on the table."
Zog's many eyes focused intently on Jake's hands as he shuffled the deck of cards. He listened intently, absorbing every detail.
Jake continued, "The goal is to make the best five-card hand using any combination of your two private cards and the community cards. The player with the highest-ranked hand wins the pot."
Zog nodded, his tentacles wriggling with excitement. "Fascinating! It seems like a game of strategy and skill."
Jake chuckled. "You got that right. But there's more to it than just the cards. Poker is also about reading your opponents, picking up on their tells, and knowing when to bluff."
Zog's eyes widened with curiosity. "Tell me more, Jake. How do you know when someone is bluffing?"
Jake leaned in closer, his voice dropping to a conspiratorial whisper. "Well, it's all about paying attention to their body language, their betting patterns, and any inconsistencies in their behavior. Sometimes, it's a subtle twitch or a nervous tick that gives them away."
Zog's tentacles quivered with anticipation. "This bluffing sounds like a fascinating psychological part of the game. I would love to learn more about it."
Jake grinned. "Alright, let's have a little fun. I'll deal a few practice hands, and you can try to read me. Don't worry, I'll go easy on you."
As the game progressed, Jake intentionally exaggerated his expressions and movements, giving Zog opportunities to pick up on his bluffs. Zog's many eyes darted back and forth, analyzing Jake's every move. He carefully observed the way Jake's hand trembled when he had a strong hand and noted the slight smirk that graced his face when he was bluffing.
With each hand, Zog's understanding of the game deepened. He began to decipher the subtle cues that revealed his opponent's intentions, and he even started to incorporate his newfound knowledge into his own plays.
By the end of the practice session, Zog was beaming with excitement. "Jake, this game is incredible! I can't wait to put what I've learned into practice."
Jake chuckled and patted Zog on the back. "You've got the spirit, my friend. Just remember, poker is as much about skill as it is about having fun and enjoying the company of your fellow players.
I understand Jake. Let's play this final round and see if my lessons have paid off."
As the final bets were placed, Zog's newfound knowledge and enthusiasm guided his decisions. The tension in the room grew palpable, but Zog remained calm and focused. Little did he know that his skills would soon astound everyone in the saloon.
With a confident smile, Zog revealed a higher pair of aces, outshining Jake's pair of kings. The room erupted in cheers and applause for the alien newcomer. Jake, though momentarily disappointed, graciously acknowledged Zog's victory, handing him the chip. The desire for another round was ignited, and Zog insisted, "Best two out of five!"
News of Zog's prowess at the poker table spread like wildfire throughout the town. The saloon became a hub of excitement as eager players flocked to witness the alien prodigy in action. Word even reached the neighboring towns, attracting players from far and wide who sought to test their skills against the interstellar challenger.
As the nights passed, the bond between Jake and Zog grew stronger. Jake took it upon himself to teach Zog the intricacies of poker, imparting his knowledge of bluffing and reading opponents. Zog's many eyes blinked in fascination as he absorbed every word, eager to master the art of the game.
Zog quickly became a quick learner, surprising the other players with his adaptability. He honed his skills and began bluffing with the best of them, using his unique alien perspective to throw off even the most experienced players. The humans marveled at Zog's newfound abilities, astonished by how quickly he had become a formidable opponent
With each game, Zog's confidence in his own abilities grew. He learned to channel his alien intuition, expertly concealing his true intentions behind a mask of calm and calculated detachment. His opponents found themselves caught in a web of uncertainty, never quite sure whether Zog held a winning hand or was simply bluffing.
As Zog's reputation spread, his games became spectacles, drawing crowds of spectators who marveled at his otherworldly presence and unwavering composure. The saloon echoed with whispered discussions of Zog's strategies and the enigma that surrounded him.
Closing time approached after another exhilarating evening of poker. While the other players reluctantly began packing up their chips, Jake had a different plan in mind. He proclaimed Zog an honorary Texan, a title reserved for those who embraced the spirit of the Lone Star State. Together, they hatched a plan to repair Zog's spaceship so that he could continue his interstellar journey.
The next morning, Zog woke up nursing quite the hangover from the previous night's revelry. Jake's mechanics went to work on repairing his ship while he recovered. Ever the gracious host, Jake brought Zog a strong black coffee, which helped revive him.
"You sure can drink, little buddy!" Jake teased, a wide grin on his face. "I've never seen anything like it. Do all your people get that crazy when they tie one on?"
Zog rubbed his aching temples, his many eyes squinting. "I may have overindulged in your earthly pleasures. On my planet, we have no such thing as alcohol. I simply wished to immerse myself in your culture."
Jake howled with laughter, his deep voice filling the room. "Well, mission accomplished for sure! Next time, go a little slower. We aim to show hospitality, not send you to an early grave."
By that evening, the repairs on Zog's spaceship were complete. He invited his new friends to join him for a ride before launching back into space. Even Jake, usually fearless, seemed a little green around the gills as they floated weightless within the ship's confines.
But when they returned to the pasture where Zog had crash-landed, the alien made a proposition. "Perhaps I could visit again sometime. I've come to enjoy Earth, and your poker tradition. What do you say to an intergalactic tournament?"
The crowd whooped and hollered excitedly, their enthusiasm echoing across the vast open space. It seemed that the beginning of a beautiful cosmic friendship had been forged, fueled by cards, friendship, and more than a few cold ones. Zog blasted off into the starry night, eager to spread word of the hospitable humans throughout the stars.
And so, in the depths of space, a new chapter began. An alien and a Texan had bridged the gap between worlds, brought together by a shared love for a game that transcended boundaries. Through poker, they had discovered a common language, and in each other, they found friendship among the stars.

But when they returned to the pasture where Zog had crash-landed, the alien made a proposition. "Perhaps I could visit again sometime. I've come to enjoy Earth, and your poker tradition. What do you say to an intergalactic tournament?"
The crowd whooped and hollered excitedly, their enthusiasm echoing across the vast open space. It seemed that the beginning of a beautiful cosmic friendship had been forged, fueled by cards, friendship, and more than a few cold ones. Zog blasted off into the starry night, eager to spread word of the hospitable humans throughout the stars.
And so, in the depths of space, a new chapter began. An alien and a Texan had bridged the gap between worlds, brought together by a shared love for a game that transcended boundaries. Through poker, they had discovered a common language, and in each other, they found friendship among the stars.

Can/should I relocate egg sac?
My friend and bathroom companion, Murder Millie (steatoda triangulosa) recently died and left behind a full egg sac. Problem is, it's in my bathroom. I'm not sure how she managed to live a full and freak life, but I'm certain that her bebes would not make it if they hatched in my bathroom.
Is there a safe way to relocate them? If so, where to? We're in North Texas.

Help please
Hey everyone, so this mothers babies finally hatched and I’m not sure what to do next. Do I open the gate so they can leave and come back? Should I keep them in the backyard as best as possible until they reach a certain age/size? Do I feed them? If so, what? Any and all recommendations are greatly appreciated I live in Texas if that helps with any info The second picture is with my gate open, would prefer not to keep it open at all times but just let me know!

Whatisthis bug
. This is the bug that I think hatched from the second photo? I'm from SE TEXAS and we have had more rain then we usually have! At one time we were subtropical but our climate has changed. I don't know how much of the change is natural and how much was caused from government jets putting out chemtrails! All I can attest to is we are more of a desert climate because our rains are almost none existent as compared to when I grew up! Of course someone could investigate the change and when it started compared to the chemtrails! This goes back to the age old question, which came first, the chicken or the egg and why did the chicken cross the road! Lol! A little off subject but funny!

2024.04.10 07:10 ApocolypseJoe Renters insurance/roof repairs and hvac unit issues

(Loc. Texas) live on the top floor of a 4 flr bldg. I know that renter's insurance doesn't cover roof repairs since that's supposed to be handled by my landlord, but can I use my renter's insurance to force my landlord to fix my roof properly? I've lived here for about seven years, and in that time have had to make about fifteen maintenance tickets for roof issues, multiple emails with the office, the whole deal. I've even called local building code/311 and they said the repair was fine at the time, but the leaks have just been getting progressively worse, and this last repair has really done a number.
What's killing me is it's a flat roof with a parapet, which seems to retain water and from what I can tell there's no proper drainage from the roof, so when it rains, it pours...into my living room. The building was built in the late eighties, and i'm pretty sure they've never gotten a new roof on this building, which far exceeds the life of a typical roof.
They also have the hvac units up there, and they have a unit over a hatch in my bathroom and the drainage pan overflows into my tub/shower. I don't know how building code didn't say anything about that, but I would have assumed that would be a health code and/or building code violation.
I'm at a loss as to what to do anymore.

2024.04.07 04:56 ofquartziloverocks Car for late 20s person who lives in the city?

Howdyyy.
As the title says, I’m in my late 20s and finally looking at retiring the beater I’ve been driving since high school. That car has done me well and I love her to death, but she isn’t always the most reliable and since she’s a 2006 Ford Five Hundred, she doesn’t have a lot of the perks a newer car would have- including safety and reliability. I make decent money (~70k/yr) and I live in a Texas city and work in the construction industry. I can afford ~400/mo in a payment.
My parents desperately want me to buy a “family” style car because “wHaT iF yOu HaVe KiDs” and offered to match what I save up as a graduation present (since they never gave me a graduation gift when I graduated college and they’ve bought each of my sisters a new car regardless of their achievements). But they want it to be a car they approve of. They’d love for me to get a RAV4 or a Mazda CX-5. I want something reliable and not terribly pricy, but I want a fun car to drive and to not look like a soccer mom. I could buy something without the parental support, but in this economy turning down free money seems like a dumb idea.
My main goals: -Around ~25k to 35k (w/ TTL) -Reliable -Fairly fun to drive
I personally am not the biggest fan of sedans, so hatches speak to me the most. I’m kind of at a loss since they (the rents) vetoed my original wish of a corolla hatchback XSE. Any recommendations are extremely appreciated! Thank you so much!
