At least the Fuckstang is technically a sporty-ish car and not a Corolla. I once ran a rental convertible V6 Mustang through some serious SoCal canyon twisties and it went admirably well.

School starts next week so I'm trying to detox WagonJr this week to break him of the big blinky screen of idiocracy and get him re-acclimated to the little blinky screen of edumacation.
I do not think I will live through the next 9 weeks with my sanity or job intact.
Send Rum.

Well, "sanity".
I've already lost my fucking mind... But whatever this is that passes for coherence and sentience, will be broken too. I believe.

Went white water rafting yesterday. Brought the super soakers and my diving fins. Got in the water to “supercharger” the rafts with my feet and hit a big rock underwater. Now I’m hobbling like Homer in the Christmas episode.

But a noose, even if your letting your body choke It’s self out is easier. but there are easier ways. Much easier. You could even order a kit online to do it the “humane” way(legal way to go in Oregon).
But Culo just a biznatch who can’t get his head in the game. Intellectually brilliant, but emotionally retarded. Your genes are a great asset for the human race on earth. You’ve got an accomplished life, but that could be one of the roots of that state of mind.
Its Tuesday right?

And slowly drown?? I hear the water entering your lungs feels like fire, but has a calming effect.

My steering is pretty much 100% back to normal.
I didn't like it feeling light like it was... It was awful, like jerking off with a flaccid dick because you can't get a boner.

Yeah, the problem with killing the ones flying around is that they're the adults that are not long for the world anyway. They lay eggs down in the soil and then the juveniles eat the plant matter. To be effective, you need to eliminate the source.
All conventional solutions involve letting the soil dry out. But I have trouble with that on because it's a delicate balance between the gnats eating the roots and killing the plant, and needing to dry it out long enough that the plant will drop leaves from lack of water. I usually only get infestation on 1 plant so I'll take it and re-pot it with fresh, clean soil. But this time, it's 9 different plants that are infested.
What I did that seems to have taken care of 90% of the problem is let them dry out for a week (it's stressing one of my mini pseudo banzai ficus pretty bad) and then took them outside and saturated the top inch or so of soil with Demon (sperm) WP.
https://smile.amazon.com/Insecticide...6211312&sr=8-2
That stuff is amazing. One packet in ~1 gallon of water in a pump sprayer. Apply liberally anywhere you want bugs to die the hell off. This is the first I've used it on my plants. I typically use it to spray the windows/doors, brick wall weep-holes, and perimeter of the house. For weeks after, there's just bug carcasses everywhere.
I figured that if the soil is saturated with that stuff (it's only effective when dry though, so I've been holding off on watering for going on the 2nd week now), then anything that hatches and leaves the plant will need to go through it, and that'll kill'em.
If that doesn't work, then I'm going to re-re-pot everything, leaving an inch of space between the top of the soil and the top of the pot. Then fill that last inch in with sand from the kid's sandbox. Supposedly the sand will prevent the gnats from getting in or out.
If that doesn't work, then:

Two smaller ficuses were really close to dying since they hadn't been watered in a couple weeks. Trying to nurse them back to health and I think they'll make it. I've got a longan that I sprouted from a seed that is 50/50 right now. It was growing super super slow and lost 3 of like only 10 leaves it had during the dry-out. Hopefully it bounces back.

HFS. I just realized that now that I've tossed the wife's plant... All the survivors in the house are mine.
Which is odd because I'm not a plant person. I could care less and wouldn't have any in the house if it were up to me. Hence the reason "my plants" are cactuses.
But my wife really wants to have plants and shit so she brings them home. And then manages to run them right to the brink of death through neglect or over-care. Which is when I usually step in and take them over...
Shit. I've adopted all the strays...
I'm the crazycat lady plant guy.

I've got a green thumb mostly...
but the one that eludes me is the Australian tree fern...I've killed 3...wilted means over watered which is counter intuitive.
On my 4th ever and this one is still alive and happy for now...going on 3 years.
Little J's nemesis is this newfound obsession with the Fiddle Leaf Fig tree plant...in the house every day she was transplanting, moving...
feng shui...needs Western sun from one side. It's the annoying Vegan Crossfit friend of the plant world. After it was literally on it's last leg...
she gave up, took it out of the pretty pot and put it in the backyard where all plants go to die and be forgotten. Wouldn't you know it...as soon
as she left it alone it is happy as fuck and doing great.
I jokingly tell her I'm the Fig plant in her life...if she's stop nagging and overbearingly try and care for me while also stifling and killing me, I could
flourish and live a happy life.

Ahh... the Fiddle Leaf Fig Tree.
Yes, I think we're on our third one. Same shit, she brings one home and tends to it and it dies.
She brought one home a month or so ago after a trip to Home Cheapo. I unloaded the truck and put everything where it needed to be, but the the Fiddle Leaf, I just stuck on the front porch and didn't say anything. It's thriving there. Probably because it's out of sight, out of mind. I'll go water it once a week or so when it looks thirsty and it's the best looking one she's ever gotten.

Probably not. If they're anything like all the other companies I've been getting emails from lately, they just give it away in data breaches with regularity.
