Honey bee! O.o Where?! xD

You're welcome. ^^

Honey bees are actually dying out, and no one really knows why. ):

*Licks you, too.*

:U

Really? Well, Dae usually freaks out when she sees any kind of bee... Though generally, she doesn't kill them.

I wonder if that is affecting honey farmers...

-is licked- >.>;

Hello, thread killers.

I'm trying to make a Valentine's outfit.

What do you think of this one?

It is. ):

And it's especially bad because so so many products have honey or other bee products in them!

Most people don't realize that.

Angel Spirit Girl: Hm... It's a little cluttered for my tastes, personally. ^^;

Monstahh': I assume there are theories out there as to why the honey bee numbers are decreasing, right? Maybe it's all this crazy weather... >.>

That's my guess.

But I also think it's multiple things.

The weather, how much honey and such is taken from the bees (maybe they could decrease that, promoting growth) the lessening of wildflowers in some areas, ect, ect.

I mean, if the bees go away, we'll lose not only honey, but flowers and fruits, too!

A big factor could be the selling of farm land. Seems like many people back home who had land either can't keep up with the taxes on it or can't maintain it. So, they decide to sell it to some big corporation that builds another big, ugly building. -.-;

dae: Thank you, I hope so too! The pops are very cute! :3
Maybe I should seriously start thinking about making an exchange thread. I keep thinking about it but I never get around to making one. XD

Bees are no problem for me. Neither are wasps. In one of my job applications (for a amusement park) they asked "are you afraid of wasps" (in case you get stationed outdoors around wasps). The alternatives were "Yes, nasty little buggers!" or "No, why should I be?".

No one seems to really know why the bees are disappearing. But it could very well be a kind of butterfly effect somewhere that's effecting them. Or perhaps some kind of new parasite/disease?

Dae has an exchange thread but it isn't very active. ^^: Mostly because she doesn't really sell anything in it... Nor is she looking for any event items or contribution items to buy. xD I'm thinking about questing for a crazy CI/EI when school is out though... I just don't know which one.

xD That is amusing. I've never had a job outside before. >.<; Probably why I'm all pasty and stuff.

That's a bit what I'm worried about. I just don't know what to do with it when I don't have anything for sale/looking to buy there. And I just know I'll misplace the link to it in no time. XD;;

If you can't make up your mind - how about all CIs and EIs there are? 8D
At least it'll keep you occupied. ;D
It could be the EPIC quest to top all other quests!

Hehe, neither have I. To be honest, I'd rather have a full time job indoors if I can get one but as long as it's a steady job with decent conditions I'm not too picky.
The only real job I've had was a job in the labs of Stockholm university's basement. Only one window per room, and it was in the roof. I got a cold the first summer I worked there because it was so well ventilated, almost 30*C outside and barely 21*C inside. XD;;

Mine just sits there and does nothing most of the time. ^^: Really is a waste of space but I made it a really long time ago. >.< And you can always go through your stats on your profile to find threads that you've created. ^^

I actually have probably a good number of the EIs, actually. ^^; Dae has been here for a long time. It's just some of the older [and harder] ones that I would have to quest for... And I don't like all the CIs, to be honest. I mean, some are nice but some I wouldn't really bother with.

I just don't like the part-time jobs I've had so far because they require me to stand for 4-5 hours. -.-; I mean, I've gotten use to it but sometimes the pain is bleh.

Btw, does anyone know how much this months CIs are running for?

No clue. I don't even remember what the CIs for this month are. ^^;

Okay.

:3 I'm hoping to pick up a set.

Also, it's me and Jeff's one month tomorrow. :ninja:

Ooo, exciting. ^^ Are you doing anything special?

No, sadly he's all the way in NC (where he lives).

D: But, I'm going to call him. <3

That's nice. I do remember you kind of mentioning that it was a long distance relationship.

Yeah. :3 But, we're both pretty happy so far. Soooo. :3

Yeah. > w<

*Dances.*

I'm mega tired today.

Whatcha up to Dae?

Dae is currently looking at her father's dental plan and trying make heads or tails of it... >.>

What about you?

I hate dentists. ; O;

*Hides.*

I'm hungry and tired and blah blah blah. Also, yay me and boyfriend's one month. :'D

Dentists... I don't realy mind them but since having my bracers taken out, I don't really go unless I'm called. (Which is about once every year or so.)

And I guess today is the one month day? Congratulations, monstahh`! (And to Jeff too, of course.) :3

Monstahh': Well, Dae has no issues with dentists because Dae has never been to one. We'll find out how it goes when her mom gets back to her on the subject of which dentist to see and when.

Congrats!

Youn: Regular checkups in the States are recommended for every 6 months... Well, that is what our dental plan covers. anyway.

Really? We usually go about once a year or once every two years at least up until we get to 19 (which is the age we have to start paying for dental care ourselves), depending on the dentist...
But I hear it's different if you're working. Some places offer more frequent check-ups, I believe. :3

i noticed a lot of the dental plans I was looking at recommended every 6 months.
We have some weird dental plan though... Sadly, my parents, ultimately, know nothing about their health plan as well as their dental plan. Thus, I have suffered this long without having gone to the dentist when I really should have...
