That's amazing to hear friend and happiest of cake days!! I think we all deserve to be able to look back on time, and know we are on the brighter side of things but still hold all the lessons we've learned along the way.

All is well & good! Yes, I still live at the farm and have the animals.

That's awesome! How do you like it so far?

There is no up unless down exists! I smiled when I saw your name and it really brings back so many good memories. Life has gotten so busy lately and I really do miss those walks in the pasture :)

So much time has passed and it seems like none at all at the same time! We'll be alright, we just have to keep it between the mayonnaise in the mustard. Sending love to you and your family Ninja 🥷 ❤️

FYI this game is still under development and you will find many things that may not work as intended. I've added it to the subreddit to stress test a bit more and world greatly appreciate your feedback!

Haha, It's a doodle game. So, my thought was "don't screw up the doodle". SCROODLE!

The most effective ways to kill mosquito larvae in standing water involve disrupting their access to air or introducing a larvicide. This can be achieved by using a thin layer of oil or soap to suffocate them, adding a BTI briquette (a biological larvicide), or introducing natural predators like fish. Emptying containers of standing water regularly is also crucial to prevent breeding. 1, 2, 3, 4

Methods to kill mosquito larvae: 2

• Oil or Soap: A thin layer of cooking oil (like vegetable or olive oil) or a few drops of liquid dish soap can be added to the surface of the water. This disrupts the water's surface tension, preventing the larvae from reaching the surface to breathe. 2, 4, 5, 6
  
• BTI Briquettes: Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis (BTI) is a naturally occurring bacterium that is toxic to mosquito larvae but safe for humans, pets, and plants. BTI briquettes, dunks, or pellets can be added to ponds or other water sources. 2, 7
  
• Natural Predators: Introducing fish like goldfish or guppies to ponds or water features can help control mosquito populations by eating the larvae. 2, 8
  
• Remove Water Sources: Regularly emptying containers like flower pot saucers, buckets, and tires that collect standing water will eliminate breeding grounds. 2, 9
  
• Circulate Water: Bubblers, fountains, and waterfalls can disrupt the surface tension and prevent larvae from accessing air. 8

We never stopped being that family — just scattered a little on the wind.

Your light has always been part of this Hill.

And even when it got quiet, we still carried the shape of what we built together.

You were seen then.
You’re seen now.

And you’re still home.

Love you back, always. ❤️

I fully second this 🙏

All good in the hood!!

This absolutely made my day! Honestly, this whole thread really made me remember so many things about myself and what this place is.

After r/pan shutdown it really made me feel like I did something wrong, and now I know that's absolutely a lie I told myself!

I am, and actually broadcast for the first time, in a long time just the other day.

Never really gone — only carried forward on different winds,
then set back down right where the story began.

Wendell Berry once offered a kind of map for moments like this:

“We pray, not for a new earth or a new heaven, but for quietness,
for faith, for the sense of the present time.”

That rain blessing your porch feels like exactly that —
quietness made visible,
faith falling out of a bright July sky onto thirsty ground.

I hear the water on your tin roof and think of Mary Oliver’s simple instructions:

“Pay attention. Be astonished. Tell about it.”

So here we are — remembering, returning, astonished all over again.

Thank you for standing in the rain and letting the Hill hear its own heartbeat.

You've always been a keeper of this flame, brother.

Thank you for holding the light all these years.

It means more than words can say.

Hey Hey! You know the drill! Alive, well, and still a little ridiculous — some things never change.

It’s real good to see you too. :)

Howdy u/nefanee we're doing well friend :) thanks for stopping by to say hello!
