That's a great link. Kind of disturbing how many questions that were asked about the amount needed to be lethal.

I thought that was weird too!!!
Why are people so fascinated on how many it takes to kill someone???
Ok...we better watch the news every night from now on... There is bound to be a story ....” wife poison husband could not take his cheating ways.... “
Back in MY day the wives would just add bleach or cyanid to the husbands drink for a couple of days.. then poof!!!!
That’s how these crime shows all started up??? ?

That’s a great point. I guess it’s because every little kid is fascinated with poisons, torture methods, blood. At least that’s true for my kids, they are strange little monsters.

In the UK it was mushrooms for breakfast.
Britain has several of the most lethal toadstools in the world and a few of them look rather like the common field mushroom.
Yum.

I'm still not sure what a bank holiday is but the same from me.☺
It’s a public holiday.

originally named because the banks were closed! We just hung onto it as a name here in the UK. We have 8 public holidays here in England (Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland have their own variations): New Year’s Day, Good Friday, Easter Monday, May Day (first Monday in May), Spring Bank Holiday (last Monday in May), Summer bank holiday (last Monday in August), Christmas Day and Boxing Day.

Valentine's Day can be very cheap in the Cold Dark Room.
"Look, I've bought you some beautiful red roses!"
And nobody can see if you're telling the truth.
Valentine’s Day is my birthday and I loathe it. Everything is pink and double the price, there’s no choice of menu in the restaurants and you can’t exactly go out for a family meal. We usually celebrate my birthday a day or two either side. It’s as bad as having a Christmas birthday... possibly worse!

Good afternooning from sunny Devon where the weather has ignored the forcast and remained bright and sunny. Not terribly warm, but who cares!

Today JoesDad and I celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary. We spent today out at a coastal nature reserve where we spotted harbour porpoises as we had our picnic on a cliff top.

They were impossible to photograph, so you will just have to enjoy the view instead :)

Tonight we have a table booked in a restaurant for the four of us where I am guessing we might drink a glass or two of something fizzy :) ??

I had a girlfriend whose birthday was Valentine's Day.
Saved me a lot of money. :cool:

Please say they aren't bacterial.
Or yellow.
Or on baby sulcatas.
Otherwise, point me to a nice soundproof corner where I can muffle the scream.
I don't have any sulcatas, baby or otherwise.
I expect they're bacterial. (the spots, not the baby sulcatas that I don't have.)
But pink to red or even disguised as skin colour.
I like blackheads best, but haven't had any for decades.
Anyone know how to cultivate them?

I believe the snow leopard has black spots (it’s hard to see in the dark here) Perhaps she can help?
