Welcome to the Dregon's Den

Log of my internet oddity hoard

Here in my first addition to my hoard (10/14/25)...

10/15/25: My second edition to the hoard.

Yesterday, I found this website for an artisan mill in SC that talks a lpot about about hierloom Southern grains. I think it's interesting that there are so many varieties of grits. Growing up, I only ate the instant grits with shrimp and a lot of butter. Guess I'm not a "true Southerner", but then again I am not much of a Southerner to begin with lol. I will link it here:

10/18/25: My not so adventurous adventures with neem oil

Hi everyone, I know its been a minute. Its midterm season right now with classes and I am sinking lowkey lol~ Anyways, a couple days ago I saw that my lil palm plant had a small infestation of spidermites on her, so I did some googling around to see what I could do and I found out about neem oil. I ordered some on Amazon, got it, sprayed it on my plant...my entire apartment smells like the funkiest cheese I ever did smell. I wanna cry. :,3

I did promise to deliver on internet finds so that I will do. In fact, I first heard of neem oil not too long before I found my spider mite infestation, so here is a webpage I found that talks about eco-friendly solutions on how to care for your garden.

Honestly, I had no idea on what the heck neem oil even is. So I decided to do a bit of googling, and I found out that this stuff has been used as a natural pesticide for centuries. It could even slow the rate of some cancers? That's cool I guess, I just wish it didn't smell so bad.
