Look at all the bag charms I found for only $5 (Warning: Vinted is dangerous!)😂

Squeeeee! I can’t wait to get them! I had just bought a lot of the itty-bitty ones right before I found these! I think Vinted is going to be a problem for my bank account, but they’re so CHEAP there! I’ve seen boxes full sell for $2!!

That one time…(Warning: Cuss words incoming from hubby).

Warning: Some swearing!😂

I’d just had a medical procedure at a clinic right by the Indian River. Afterward, while still high as a kite, I convinced my husband I could talk to dolphins. He thought I was crazy so I had to prove it to him…😂.

That dolphin still comes when I call! Maybe I’m related to Snow White?

Can anyone ID these tadpoles? Found in a rain filled ditch on the coast of Florida.

Please help identify. Found in a ditch full of rainwater in Florida (coastal side about 20 minutes from the ocean)

Evil Ghost just spilled the entire pot of tea and it was scalding hot.

He’s a f’ing hero!!

I’ve never heard so much incriminating evidence in one phone call! And it’s all coming from his own disgusting mouth. You think you’ve heard all about what he did in the school that day? Nope. Enjoy the gory details from Ryan himself.

And subscribe to Evil Ghost on YouTube. He’s a rockstar.

Zombie female dung beetle! Please explain.

I found this huge female dung beetle dead floating in a container of rainwater outside. We live in Florida and I spot these beautiful insects on occasion, but not often.

I felt horrible & scooped her out of the water (she was floating on her back-no movement) hoping to preserve her in resin.
I put a paper towel and a quarter on the counter to take a picture. I wanted to share it with my grandchildren to show how big they are.

About an hour later, I spotted her trucking across the kitchen floor!!!

Insect experts-HOW?! She was dead! No movement, floating on her back, I’m completely flummoxed. Please explain how this was possible.

I checked her out thoroughly before releasing her in a nice shady spot under a tree in our backyard. She was as good as new as if she’d never drowned to death😂.

Everyone gets a mystery snail!

Come one-come all!😅. Get a couple mystery snails they said. It’ll be fun they said…

35598752 snails later…. (Despite how this looks, the population is well controlled by Frank the Fahaka, Chubbles the green spotted puffer, and my shoal of 7 peas). Each has dibs on different sizes of snails so it works out well.

Honest answers please

EDIT: I WILL BE REMOVING THE SAFETY EYES AND STITCHING ON BOTH THE EYES AND THE CHEEKS. THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO MADE THIS SUGGESTION! PICS OF IMPROVED SQUIDS TO COME!🥰🪼

ALSO THESE ARE MADE WITH 100% COTTON AND COMPLETELY WASHABLE. THAT WAS THEIR REQUIREMENT FOR THE BLANKETS-SO THATS WHAT I WENT WITH. I’VE BEEN SAVING COTTON SCRAPS FOR YEARS SO THAT IS WHAT I AM USING FOR THE “STUFFING.”

I TRULY APPRECIATE ALL THE EXCELLENT TIPS AND ADVICE! I’M SO EXCITED TO LEARN HOW TO MAKE EMBROIDERED EYES AS WELL! SO MANY CUTE ONES OUT THERE!🥰🪼🫶

I TEXTED THE HOSPITAL EMPLOYEE IN CHARGE OF THIS BLANKET PROJECT AND SHE WAS 100% ONBOARD. I SENT HER THE SAME PICS EXPLAINING THE EYES AND CHEEKS WILL BE STITCHED AND THEY ARE COMPLETELY WASHER/DRYER SAFE SINCE THEY ARW 100% COTTON INCLUDING THE STUFFING.

Our local hospitals are asking for crocheted blankets for the surrounding NICUS. My arthritis is so bad, it would take me months to make one.
I’m wondering if these would be good enough to donate? They are “security squids” and the little ones grasp onto the tentacles instead of all the wires and tubes going in & out of them(😭).
Please give honest opinions. You won’t hurt my feelings at all. I just don’t want to make a bunch of these and they be rejected. Thanks in advance!

How I found my daughter and now-15 years later.

There is an “animal shelter” in Vegas that euthanizes an average of 200 dogs a day during the hot summer months. I volunteered as a foster there for 8 years. I combed our website multiple times a day to look for posts like this.
I don’t think my tires left the pavement on my way to save this baby. They were going to take her life for being terrified and crying in the corner of her kennel. She came from a hoarding situation and has all the signs of inbreeding.
Thankfully, I got there in time. The third pic is her “I’m free!” pic right before we pulled out of the parking lot.
That was over 10 years ago. Her name is now Niblette and she is the leader of the pack. She “talks” to me all day and her favorite things are napping on the couch in mommas lap and the homemade dog food I make her daily. She dances like a puppy and literally smiles as I carry her plate to her cushion. This precious little foster failure has changed my life and I love her with my whole heart ♥️.
