I hate most spiders, but tarantulas don't really bother me.  I found one when I was a kid and brought it inside for a couple weeks.  Once I noticed it wasn't doing so great I let it go.

I don't imagine breeding roaches to be that difficult, since they seem to do pretty good with minimal care in many places.  Do you just give them food, water and places to hide?  Can the tarantulas eat them?

Yeah roaches just eat fresh fruit, veggies, and dog food for protein .  They are super easy to breed and make great feeders for Tarantulas, reptiles, some fish, and even humans if you are into eating insects lol.  You can raise them in a big Rubbermaid tub with egg crates for hiding and breeding along with water gel and food.  Also need heat as they can't breed unless kept around 80•F.  B. Lats are perfect for T's as they are roughly cricket sized as adults and babies are the same as "pin head crickets" for feeding spiderlings.  Roaches have far longer life spans than crickets, don't smell as bad, and don't eat each other like crickets do.

Thanks for the kind words everyone.  I'm coping half ass lol.  My mental health issues are all over the place as I lost my only sort of schedule(work) and I'm all over the place with sleep and feeling like I need to be going to micks or waking up "ready for work" it's all really weird to be honest.  I still have my disability coming in once a month so I'm okay finacially.  I'm getting a decent tax return within the next 10 days so please PM me if I owe you as I'm really REALLY bad at remembering things especially right now.  In order to keep myself halfway sane I've decided to start keeping and breeding Tarantulas and Roaches.  I have a B. Smithi (Mexican red knee) now and 6 slings(spiderlings) on their way in the mail along with 1000 B. Lat roaches.  Tarantulas are quite the amazing little creatures and I enjoy taking care of them immensely.  Luckily my fiancée is getting over her fear of spiders since my Mexican Flame Knee Ralph has been around.  smile

Mick passed away today... I'll miss him a ton.  He was an amazing human being and he will never leave my heart.

I had this Happen with a pocket.  Games worked fine in it but LSDJ caused dimming and crashing.  All I had to do was solder a resistor in and it's worked like a charm ever since.

I have a huge favor to ask of anyone that has the time and desire to help me out.  I've kind of disappeared off of here and didn't get things mailed out and still have a few things to mail out and wanted to explain what's been going on in my life.  I work for a disabled man named mick.  He has an aggressive form of CMT a muscular disease that's had him in a wheelchair since he was 15.  I started working with him as an in home health care provider over 2 years ago.  We became very close as we shared a lot of the same interest and ideals and honestly I consider him to be my best friend.  Over the last 4 months I've had to call 911 3 times because he had became very delirious and confused and was talking to people that were not there,  thinking people were hurting him that were not real, and a bunch of other crazy shit a failing mind can make you believe.  Well the last 911 call and ambulance ride was last Thursday.  The hospital said he was "normal" and sent him back home on the ambulance the same night they took him in.  His birthday was on Friday and he turned 72.  He hasn't ate for 5 days as he's to weak to eat and his brain is shutting  down so he forgets things instantly.  It tears me apart to see him his way.  For what he lacked in muscle mass he made up for with a brilliant mind.  Mick could literally store phone numbers in his head after hearing them once.  He "ate like a dog" his words not mine,  he did everything he could do on his own by himself.  He's in the final stages of death now and can't even remember where he is when he's in his own bedroom.  I remind him that no other 72 year old has 4 Buffy posters on their walls and it's still hard for him to focus.  I spent an hour last night letting him know how much of an impact he made on my life and that he was my best friend and that I loved him.  I told him I know he has to go soon and he agreed and said he was thinking about a movie where two best friends had to say their last goodbyes and we said ours.  I'm going to miss the fuck out of Mick.  I'm losing my "job" but it never felt like one and losing someone so close hurts a lot more than losing a job.  I've rambled long enough and I'm crying again.  The favor I need is someone to send all my music gear to to sell for me.  I'll pay to ship it to you and use what I make off it to refund the few people I owe still and give whomever helps me a cut too.  I have 3 custom gameboys, 2 USB carts, Nanoloop with the USB transfer thing, and possibly an RM1X.  I need to sell this stuff but I'm too sad and stressed out to do anything right now.  I have a fiancée, her little girl, and our little boy to take care of and I'm going to be out of work soon with a broken heart to match.  Sorry for rambling I just needed to get this off my chest and let people know what's been going on.

Thanks for your time

Thanks for the heart guys!  One person had made me feel like everyone was feeling like him and his comments in the paypal dispute were pretty rude in my opinion.  I'll be mailing out stuff and sending tracking numbers as time permits

You guys rock

I received my disability money and I decided to refund everyone after one person decided to say a bunch of nasty stuff about having to wait for me to mail things.  I was clear about when I could ship things and have got some peoples stuff shipped already.  If I haven't contacted you with a tracking number please email me for a prompt refund.  I don't handle negativity well and someone acting like I am uncapable of delivering an item I sold to them at quite a loss to me because my hillbilly post office was closed is beyond silly.

Someone on here filed a paypal dispute with good intentions but somehow two disputes were processed and one $60 item turned Into a negative $120 balance on my paypal account.  I refunded them and I still have -$60 from the second one?  So confused here and was wondering if anyone could help...

Update for all.  I've PM'd anyone that messaged me.  I take care of a paralyzed man for a living and my only coworker spent the last week in Cancun while I worked 8 days straight.  A day at my job is a 3 part split shift 9am to 12pm, 4pm to 6pm, and 9pm to 10pm.  I've literally been pushed beyond my limits because I was the only person able to take care of the guy I work with and had to work many of the days for free as I can't get to many hours or it fucks with my disability.  I'm mentally and physically drained at the moment and Monday is the first business day I have had off since x-mas.  I almost lost my housing assistance due to not being able to make appointments because I had no choice but to work and my first disability check was $108 dollars instead of $600 because they took out almost $500 for Medicare deductibles going back to sept of 2013 which makes no sense to me personally as I was just ok'd for disability in November....  Social security failed to let me know any of this was happening and even gave me different reasons for the money being way less but the website confirmed it was for Medicare.  I'm extremely sorry for the delay and I hope everyone understands.  I'm a father of two with severe mental health problems and everything has been stacked against me lately.  I'm hoping for the best and getting all this sorted ASAP.  Thanks for your patience.

Here is the device to add midi: http://store.highlyliquid.com/products/umr2

Anyone here actually use this?


Highly liquid kits are very nice tech.  I remember when he first started selling stuff he had some really streamline circuit bent gear.  I had one of his bent SK-1'S with a detachable  banana plug patch bay.  I easily ordered another cable connector and bent a TR-707 to use the same patch bay and sold them as a set.  Miss them both!

Did you get the castration to put in your fiancée's purse before or after your son's circumcision? Fucking hell.

Do you have children?  If not get back to me when you reach that point In your life.  Respecting the wishes of the woman who carried your kid for 9 months and then births it gives her opinion whether it fits yours or not some leverage.

If it helps your kids have a decent/good Christmas then I'm happy. TBH I got a damn good deal and since I had very little to offer for what I wanted I was hesitant to offer it to you. In conclusion, not mad and I still feel like I got a good  deal.

Thank you!  smile this is why Kitsch is getting funds for his project to help bring something great to the community.  Most everyone here has been full of awesome and kept my spirits up during some really low points in my life.  Love all you guys/girls.  This is a great place to just chat and learn with good people.  I loathe Facebook and haven't logged into it except to login to my spotify account in months due to it triggering to many of my mental health problems.  Can't stand seeing everyone's negativity and dudes thinking that Facebook is a dating site and hitting on my fiancée on pics of her and our kids.  I can come here and just talk and joke with cool cats without all the drama.
