Oh, goddamnit. I hate when I do that.

Do what?

Mildly infect people?

Yea, I hate when I do that too.

I must not have opened this thread in a long time. Tapatalk takes you to the first post you have not read yet. I was replying to glatt finding that big gear and cutting his finger. I can't even find that post now.

Found it.... Only ten days ago...derrr deeerrreeerrrrrr

Exactly.If you're gonna do it, do it right. I'm talking Ebola Zaire, minimum.:p:

So long ago, the finger is healed. Just a hint of flaky skin where the cut was.

Now, Ebola; that's a horse of a different color...

Or four horses of a different color ...

Its got a couple names, most common around here is the Shaggy Mane.
AKA shaggy ink cap, lawyer's wig.

Is it edible? Or are most of the pics of poisonous ones? (I know the morel is good to eat but don't know the others.)

Classic, did you ever eat at Joe's in Reading when it was there?

Here as in most public forums, except when I am speaking to certain groups,
My default answer is ALL MUSHROOMS ARE POISONOUS.

However, according to Wiki -

"The young mushrooms, before the gills start to turn black, are edible. The taste is mild; cooking produces a large quantity of liquid. It can sometimes be used in mushroom soup with parasol mushroom. Large quantities of microwaved-then-frozen shaggy manes are delicious when used as the liquid component of risotto, replacing the usual chicken stock.

The agent responsible for unpleasant symptoms when consumed with alcohol, coprine, which is found in Coprinopsis atramentaria, has not been isolated from C. comatus"

My problem is that thee is a fine line, check that, there is a blurry fuzzy sorta smudge when things change from "edible" to what? "Inedible"? "Poisonous"? And what does poisonous mean? Deadly? Causes stomach upset, headaches, body-aches, dizzyness ... what? At what point?
You tell me. Have I eaten them? yes. Were they worth the "maybe" nope. I've got plenty of others to choose from and I get them in huge quantities without too much effort. Sorry for that aimless rant. :3eye:

Top image - Some of what ended as 40lbs Hens harvested on my B-day. (Yes, there were other days.)

Bottom Image - Cleaned & Vacuum sealed Chickens - 13lbs.

:lol::love:
Gotta say I share Ortho's fungal apprehension but in terms of the harvesting and vacuum sealing*, you're a man after my own heart, Classic.

*Among other great qualities.

I can get behind the harvesting and vacuum sealing, but I don't quite understand why you would go through all that trouble for fungus. Berries, sure!

Out of curiosity I'm making a fungus poll.

thanks footsies....

glatt - cuz I lurve to saute. Shrooms and MEAT! Beef. chicken, pork ... you name it. And the flavor of the wild ones is similar to that of a fine wine. They taste NOTHING like those commercial "things" grown in shit. :headshake

It's one of those things I guess. I'll never know what I'm missing because you can't get 'em in stores, and I only know the commercial stuff and that makes me not want to try anything else.

What's mildly irritating me today?
 

My kitteh, Slick, was staring into my eyes from six inches away this morning when I woke up. Nice enough wake up most of the time. But, this morning, after showing him much more love than he deserved, I later rubbed my eyes (heartily), before washing my hands.

My eyes now look like I went a couple rounds with Roberto 'Hands of Stone' Duran. And itch like I can't describe.

Work, eyedrops, work!!

benadryl.

Don't crush it up and snort it though, just take it regular, like.

That I have the worst US Senator in history, Ted Cruz! :mad:

I'm not the first to recognize similarities:

Being the "worst in history" means just there can only be one... but yours may be well on his way.

I get the impression some people around here just think I'm an idiot.

What? Why?

Drizzle and snow mix :mad:

Here, the cellar or here, your household?

Or your neighborhood?

Mildly irritating me today is Java.

I know it's supposed to be a dangerous turd, but I have several online applications that require it. It seems like about once a month, it vanishes from my machine. So I have to track it down and reinstall it. I did automatic updates for my work PC recently, and now the damn thing is gone again, but I need it to do my time sheet so I can get paid.

Had to install Java again this morning.

And you gotta remember to not get tricked into loading their stupid Ask toolbar too when you are doing it. And then restart the browser. It's mildly irritating, is what it is.

Oracle, you should be proud. What other company can mildly irritate so many?

My Java plugin has security vulnerabilities.


I gave it a hug.

A visual representation of my day today:

^^ love the earmuffs. ^^

Those are industrial strength, too. We have a few pairs just like that. Do you use them for noise protection from garage tools, or what?

They're also good protection from headbutts to the blindside. ;)

My concreet mojo is Gone !!!
That is all

@ Choco > teething?

That's 'palling.

(concrete joke)

Ha! Before I met Mrs. Z, I dated a girl who worked at a concrete repair company.

What happened? Or should I ask what didn't happen?

2 cementish jobs in a row that went south,
this time it was to cold and wet for the grout, after I spent 2 days busting out the old busted grout from under Some rail scale bace plates,
It sucks when you pour epoxy grout and the next morning you can push your finger into it

I am irritated because Max is just recovering from the snots again, and Eva is just starting. I swear it's only because yesterday I dared to think that maybe she wouldn't get it. That was obviously a fools hope.

Yeah, those are Kitsune's ear muffs for his garage workshop. Anna was just having a miserable day -- screaming, yanking my hair, pulling my glasses off, scratching my nostrils -- so I grabbed the ear muffs to stage a photo.

Zip -- Im sorry about ur mojo!

Ali -- hope the kiddos are all in good health soon!

Next time you have to remember to make a sacrifice to the concrete gods. Don't mess with them.

Was the epoxy out of date or too cold or what?

Don't aggregate them.

To cold feetz , I put a heater down in the scale pit , one of the grout beds actualy set up ,when I took the forms off it was perfect , the other one as the form wascomeing off this shit was flowing out, untill it stoped th3 center is Solid. Wtf ?????????

Chocko I used have a pair of those for sleeping I a squad bay full of guys back in the day

There was probably enough heat from the chemical reaction for the center to set, but chilled before the outside could cure too.

Thats what I suspect as well, we shall see

Minifobette sleeps in them every night, too. :)

Epoxy sets up faster and generates a lot of heat when it's all pooled together, when it's spread thin it takes longer. When I was glassing my canoe I put the scrapings into a quart plastic container, when it got to be about 3/4 full it suddenly set up and got too hot to hold. I dropped it and watched it foam up like mad and melt the plastic container to nothing. What a fucking mess.

Sucks to have to redo a job like that, Zip.

Ha ha ha, don't I know. I was building a fiberglass roof on my van, so I took a plastic bucket, dumped in a gallon of resin, stirred in the hardener for about 5 seconds and started for the scaffolding to slop it on. Three steps and the bottom fell out of the bucket. :haha:

There was a short lived instant coffee drink in a can that had some pull tab that you manipulated and a separate chamber of the can that contained a product like cement that quickly heated up and heated the coffee in the other part of the can. It never really took off because you had these big cans that were mostly cement with a little separate pocket of coffee at the top. They also weren't very green.

Two great tastes...

Pretty much everything, but specifically, sick midgets, and my ex husband being a dick about the big boys pending visit. He fucked up the dates to begin with, but he's now not acknowledging that Aden has a lot of study to do (probably because he's not educated himself) so Aden and he are bitching at each other.

It's nice that he hasn't seen them for over 2 years, but wants to fucking argue before he even sees them.

Fucking moron.

I think he's actually pissing me off. Not irritating me.

my android had an update. now the alarm sucks...there is no longer the ascending alarm option...and caps don't work. auto caps don't work and shift doesn't work. stoopid phone.

My motto is never, ever update if you are fine with the way things are working for you.

I've had to rollback too many times to ever fall for that update BS again.

Chrome doesn't always make it obvious that you are updating.

Agreed.

I'd still be writing in MS Word 5.1 (100k) if it would just run on my newest Mac (OS 10.4.11)
