We've now got Al Franken for MN's US Senate - adios Coleman! I must admit, I figured we'd be voting for that in Nov. so I didn't get a chance to vote. I only saw attack ads, nothing mentioning when to actually vote. I only found out when a guy at work walked in with an "I Voted" sticker on...

Hey everyone! As some of you know, I head to Oshkosh Wisconsin every year for the "the world's greatest aviation celebration," the EAA Airventure. When they say greatest, they aren't kidding. We're talking the largest fly in airshow in the WORLD. Well, I'm here now, and every day from tommorow...

I'm wondering if anyone knows how I might go about this little idea of mine... I have some great DVD movies of William Burroughs talking but I wanna be able to hear it in the car while I'm driving. Anyone know how I might dub the audio off and get them onto CD-Rs? I have Nero, VLC media and...

I was at the pet shop the other day and found some new kinds. Other places here just have emperors. I picked up a flat tail scorpion that is only a couple months old they said. Talking to the guy though I asked about the scorpion from the middle east. I knew it had the word death in it. I...

Hello everyone, as you know flytrapshop.com is still small. But I'm always on the look out for new stuff to carry. But at the same time, I don't want money tied up in stuff that won't sell, I'd rather have stuff that people want. But since this opportunity has arisen I figured I'd put the...

Yes. Clay. I love this stuff. I have noticed that in pots where I use 50% arcillite, 25% LFS, and 25% bark & charcoal as the medium, with a 1/4th inch top dressing of Sphagnum, I can have near-instantaneous drainage , however, it has been my experience that it does not dry out any faster than...

Hey all, I was recently turned into a Carnivorous Plant addict by my wonderful boyfriend, DrWurm. This has since spread to my younger brother and my mother, both of which are getting Nepenthes to grow. I currently have four Drosera and soon i should have two more Nepenthes of my own. I've...
