Bottoms Part 77
I think I may have to Nands. The anxiety is under control at the moment but that's only through a cloud of Xanax.
And I even missed out on the first reply on the thread by catching up on the end of the last thread.
I have found an aye-aye though so all is not bad in the world.

what the heck is that creature? and what sex?
The anxiety may well decrease as your body gets more evened out chemically...that can take some time.
I never make it first to the thread So you are in good company....just shows we don't have that arragant competitive streak going on...we are more spiritually fit :ghug2

I saw it and foolishly went to the other thread. I am too rubbish at most things to be too competitive.
I hope the anxiety goes away soon, but it was an underlying condition anyway that I foolishly chose to self medicate, hence made it worse.

The Aye-aye (Daubentonia madagascariensis) is a strepsirrhine native to Madagascar that combines rodent-like teeth with a long, thin middle finger to fill the same ecological niche as a woodpecker. It is the world’s largest nocturnal primate, and is characterized by its unique method of finding food; it taps on trees to find grubs, then gnaws holes in the wood and inserts its elongated middle finger to pull the grubs out.
The Aye-aye is the world’s largest nocturnal primate, and dwells predominantly in forest canopies. It weighs about 2.5 kilograms, with the female weighing in slightly less (by an average of 100 grams) than males. Other than weight and sex organs, aye-ayes exhibit no sexual dimorphism of any kind. They all grow from 30-37 cm from head to body, with a 44-53 cm tail.
The adult Aye-aye has black or dark brown fur covered by white guard hairs at the neck. The tail is bushy and shaped like that of a squirrel. The Aye-aye’s face is also rodent-like, the shape of a raccoon’s, and houses bright, beady, luminous eyes. Its incisors are very large, and grow continuously throughout its lifespan. These features contrast its monkey-like body, and are the likely cause of why scientists originally deemed it to be a rodent.
The Aye-aye’s hands are arguably its most unique feature. Much like other primates, it possesses opposable thumbs, but both the hallux and the fingers are long and thin, and appear to be in a curved position somewhat similar to that of a fairy-tale witch when the muscles are relaxed. The middle finger can be up to three times longer than the others.
The Aye-aye lives primarily on the east coast of Madagascar. Its natural habitat is rainforest or deciduous forest, but many live in cultivated areas due to deforesting. Rainforest Aye-ayes, the most common, dwell in canopy areas, and are usually sighted upwards of 700 meters altitude. The Aye-aye sleeps during the day in nests built in the forks of trees.

It's been slow all day unfortunately. Hopefully it will pick up this evening.
I am too full now. I wish the British asparagus season was longer as it is the best in the world. I am addicted to the stuff. The stuff now is from the USA which is actually quite nice.

Are those things edible? I was thinking of something like aye-aye cottage pie? That creature gives new meaning to the phrase "a face that only a mother could love"! Actually I think it's pretty cool looking!
