May. 23rd, 2022 08:42 amWent looking for places I could buy water absorbing crystals to sew into neck cooling bands today. Search involved "-amazon" because I don't feel like paying homage to the demon Bezos. I was half expecting to be blitzed by listings for home decor places offering me shiny gel beads for plant arrangement.
Understand that I'm not complaining when I say this, but it was a little surprising to get mostly teacher supply stores and shops that sell stuff to reptile owners. I had not realized that those little gel things were used for supplying water to the insects that reptile owners feed their pets, specifically so that they avoid either drowning the bugs or growing mold in the sponges that might otherwise be used.
