Marian, I am quite sure that Lou will be very happy that you are dreaming about him!

i sometimes used to make wine and beer and occasionally used tinned yeast. left half a sealed tin for about 6 months and when i opened it out came a load of very fine( just like dust) just like spiders. they were flowing out of the tin and i quickly put the lid back on and threw it in the rosie. if you get a jar of distilled water and seal it and leave for some months it will start to show little creatures.

Alf thanks for telling us. I have a breathing machine which takes distilled water. I was told to change the water every day, but as it is 4 dollars a bottle from the local garage I was letting it go a couple of days before changing. There are maybe others on the site with sleep abpnia which the machine is for. At the test for such they reckoned I stopped breathing 61 times in the hour, with the machine I use at nights at home have got it down to 3 times which is better than the average person they reckon. However the thought of weird thingies going up the nose has me thinking. Cheers John Sabourn

Turbatrix Aceti or Vinegar Eels are a type of nematode that inhabits vinegars. They very tiny, and if you can’t see very close you might just miss them. The best way to see them is to hold a sample of them in a clear see through container to the light and look for the tiny worms wiggling. Vinegar Eels reach the size about 1/8 inch making and are an aquatic nematode. This means that the Vinegar Eels are quite happy living in a water environment like a fish tank for some time until your pets eat them. But, to truly live and reproduce they need to live in cider vinegar. The female Vinegar Eel give birth up to 45 young every 8-10 days, and live for an average of 10 months. Vinegar Eels do well at temperatures from 60-90 degrees. But, room temperatures 68-85 +/- a few degrees are best for optimum reproduction rates.

yuk
after reading all the posts regarding spiders and others, beginning to wish I had never started the thread.
Though on 2nd thoughts most of the beasties referred to could well be used to describe the politicians I was referring to in the original post.

Hi Shipmates, politicians are very hard to exterminate, much harder to kill than rats or cockroaches, they have special police to watch over them, and if your lucky to catch one alone. you will get a very long time in jail if you try to hurt one....

ihave told the tale of the viniger beatles in the past and have never been believed and it has been a bone of contention as I know what I saw .....really pleased that it is now confirmed ......cos if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes I wouldn't have believed it .......well done rob......pleased to say of course no one would eat them and of course the chief steward ....said he could see nothing but wouldn't eat one of the pickles......I have no comment on the cheese but I swear it moved .....albeit not very fast....regards cappy
