If you are an American making $75,000 or less, you receive a $1200 check and an additional $500 per child.

What will you do with $1200? Formicarium much? Buy one of those expensive military gas masks? Spend it on some strippers named Leticia and Shaniqua? More bleach? I am curious to know.

The fact you included the fifth sentence and described it with as much detail as you did is some major reason for concern...I don't think you're okay buddy...

:lol: haha. I don’t even know what Leticia and Shaniqua is :lol: 

Again, I would probably just save the money.

Hi there! I went on a 6 month or so hiatus, in part due, and in part cause of the death of my colonies. 

However, I went back to the Sierras, and restarted my collection, which is now as follows:

Aphaenogaster uinta, Camponotus vicinus, Camponotus modoc, Formica cf. aserva, Formica cf. micropthalma, Formica cf. manni, Formica subpolita, Formica cf. subaenescens, Lasius americanus, Manica invidia, Pogonomyrmex salinus, Pogonomyrmex sp. 1, Solenopsis validiuscula, & Solenopsis sp. 3 (new Sierra variant).

They don’t care about your kids...... they just want your tax money, and will do ANYTHING to stop Trump from giving us their money.

I can get annoying sometimes. We are in the middle of a national crisis, and people are still thinking about politics... :(

Just last night it really donned on me how broke our world is. With this corona-virus, the money problem, etc.
