I'm going in to have a pre-cancer removed. She (the doctor) froze it a month or so ago, but it came back. I'm not sure if it's to be frozen again (actually burned because the freezing material is so very, very cold) or surgically removed. It's very tiny.
Well I hope it stays gone this time. Good luck.

Lol. No the thing you are growing it in. Although the red leaf lettuce is cool too. [emoji23]
OH! It is some type of AeroGarden. There are pods of foam that have seeds. The pods go in holes on the lid. Under the lid is a base of water.

The plant is baby red leaf lettuce
And Welcome to the Cold Dark Rooms, where armadillos are seats, wool spiders may or may not exist and knit warm mittens and socks for those who are cold. Where One legged pirates serve hard liquor and leprechauns stand in for the one legged pirate and cause nonsense. Where we use beans for substrate and a bunch of really great international friends old and new get together to talk nonsense and create great puns, tell each other about the weather in their corners and share post cards so that their roommates can share in their experiences.
BTW I am Carol and I live in Cape Town.

Hmm. Conversion from Rand to dollar is a bit expensive right now. But maybe we might have something similar here. It is a really great idea.
It is very expensive. There are many brands, any probably cheaper ones.

I’m sure you could make a DIY one too. All it is is some seeds in a bowl of water. ;)

Hope it goes away for good. [emoji173]️

[emoji23] [emoji23] At least he is still showing you and not making friends with them.
One morning, on my birthday, he was telling me there's a bug in the house. Come to find out it was my pet praying mantis on the kitchen wall. Of course, I scooped her onto a newspaper and put her back in my flower bed. It was my birthday present from God.

Lol. Well done to him. If he hadn't told you, you might have lost your pet.

Yep ain't it ridiculous. Every year in the spring, it's a neat day when I see the baby praying mantis hatchlings. Later in the year, I usually find a baby toad. I live in a fairly good sized city but there's a lot of wildlife in my yard. I'm blessed.

I used to go out first thing in the a.m. and there would ALWAYS be a 'gift' on the mat outside the door. . . the tail end or head of a half eaten mouse. But I guess the mice have learned that the cats won't go into the sheds, so they don't come out anymore to be hunted.
Trust me, you have lower vet bills if the cats corner the "intruder" and call you to come deal with it, vs. "taking care" of it themselves. Anubis ("Nubi") is infamous around here for science projects that sometimes start out that way. Still not sure he's convinced that frogs and lizards from outside aren't supposed to be on the menu.
Yes. I agree. The way our home is built I've never had to treat Dilly for fleas. The one time he accidentally found himself outside, I found him screaming for help. His vet says he's in purrfect health for a senior.
