I have a good friend that’s Polish. We used to spend a LOT of time together, and her mom really liked me.

We went camping one time when we were around 15, with her parents and some of her parents friends.

her parents friends had 2 daughters, I think a year younger than my friend and I.

Me and the girls were hanging out in a tent around 10pm while all the parents were sitting around the picnic table drinking. Suddenly the tent opens violently, and the parents practically pull me out of the tent.

They proceed to sit me down at the picnic table. I’m literally shaking at this point, I’m so scared. One then proceeds to actually grab a piece of my hair and say something in polish to my friends mom. My friend mom turns to me and says “you have blond hair and blue eyes, they want to know where your people are from.”

The only thing I thought to reply was “Uh, i think I’m Irish, German, but I mostly identify as Hungarian cause that’s where my grandpa moved from”

As soon as I said Hungarian, the table erupted. Instantly one person was slapping me on the back, and another said in their VERY broken English... “Hungary, Poland, we are the same, we are like neighbors.”

They then poured me a red solo cup more than half way full with vodka, pointed to the tent, and said, “now you go have fun with the girls!”

WEIRDEST interaction with someone’s parents. Ever.

lol awesome. Probably wanted to make sure you weren't of Lithuanian heritage.

I have a weird relationship with her family too. I adore her mother, she treats me like part of the family. I don't think her father likes me despite what they tell me. He doesn't speak English and I don't speak Polish so everything is lost in translation. I think he blames me for her staying in Canada after school. I can't stand being around her brother for more than a few minutes, he's a leech and wasted opportunities that most people would kill to have.

Overloaded with the AC running maybe? Perhaps the surge when the AC turned on at some point?

Good luck!!

My guess is having the heater AND AC is not a good idea, I just pulled out the heater. Not really getting cold enough at night to need it anyway.

I just ordered a new dehumidifier....$300 and some change but I have to have it, or my basement will smell like mildew and I'll have PM in about 2 minutes

But damned it's like winter is returned!! I'm glad we had all those nice days already. This is the NY I remember...shitty weather til June!

And I picked up something that might just make a nice little vacuum chamber...if it doesn't implode, since it's all glass...and Chinese glass to boot! I was also thinking about making one out of a quart size Mason jar....that might be better. Drill the metal cap and put a fitting in it. Or I could quit being cheap and order one for $60

Just dropped the lady off at the airport. She'll be gone a week. What the hell am I going to do?

I know cheap ass rum but I have some good beer and the store is very close. I'll be walking.

So I’m eating a steak and “why is my foot itching?”
and it is COVERED in Southern Fire Ants. Their sting isn’t much, but the welt itches worse than mosquito bites.

I’m in for two lousy weeks.

Uh-oh? This is been done already I take it? Did it work? Because mine seems to but I haven't tested it in the real world yet only a 5 minute test to see if it would implode, and so far it hasn't. What do you think? It's pulling a good vacuum!

And my plan is to put a silicone mat in the bottom of the jar, and then my oil in a small beaker on top of the mat, then de-gas for 2 hours! Or until mason jar implodes, lol.

Big no on the silicone. It is not good for extracts. Extracts are not good for it. Use parchment.

Nuking their base of operations was a bad idea

It should work but test each jar, occasionally you'll find a bad one, and put them in a box or shopping bag or something so if they implode you won't have glass everywhere.

They survived it.

From (bad word) orbit.

Yup and most likely they will mutate into giant ants and it's Them! all over again.

The good news is, southern. They will be leisurely and incomprehensible about it.

Now it is time for me to put my dancing shoes on* and entice the Pupper into a summer walk.

*runners. But the sound on tile has a bracing effect on young master.

Keep him safe from the Fire Ants.

I'm glad you said that!!~ Thank you!! And now I remember you saying it before in different context!

Good idea...Just about to do a test run with 5 ml of oil.

I've ran across those things or something similar in the strangest of places. Years back a friend and I were hiking in some forest area at the base of Mt Hood. We stopped at this rocky outcropping to have lunch. Someone had carved "Watch Out Ants" on the face of some of the rock. We couldn't figure out what it meant and sat down to eat. A few minutes go by and these ginormous ants start crawling out of the cracks and they were mean. It was like they were attacking us. We got the hell out of there.

Later I did some googling and came across some guys blog where he had also hiked the same location and talked about the ants. I tried to find the blog but it was years ago and is apparently gone now. It was the weirdest thing to find these where we were at.
