Odd you should mention the so-called 'Holy Trinity,' Yes that was proclaimed at the Council of Nicaea in 325C.E. after, according the records kept by Scribes, some heated debate over whether God and Jesus should or should NOT be included together and as one. Eventually it came to light though that Emperor Constantine brought up the matter as way of appeasing the Roman Populace by using the "holy Trinity" of the Flavian Family as per the history of the Flavians as written by Flavius Josephus, an ex-slave of the Flavians. It was NOT until the Third Council of Nicaea, 331 C.E. that the issue was resolved and that the Bishops agreed to have the Flavian threesome made into 'substitute' God, the Father, Jesus the Son and the remaining son, the Holy Spirit to thereafter be referred to "The Holy Trinity" of God, Jesus and the Spirit/Ghost.

Btw, UNLESS Southern Connecticut is in the Arctic Tundra/Sub-Arctic region/s then the freezing effect of being in the ground would mitigate by the insulating effect of the ground itself, since even in regions where the snowfall can exceed a layer of 2-3 feet or more on the ground, the soil below is seldom frozen beyond 4-10 inches below ground level. However, I shall make it my next experiment to freeze a bulb, an onion which is btw classified as bulb just as are Tulips, etc, etc, and then once it has been frozen for, shall we say, 3-4 months, then I shall plant it, IN SPRING of course, and we shall see if it grows or simply rots away because it is already dead.

Most varieties need a long period of being frozen.

Triphid replies on Sep 22, 2021:

@AnneWimsey Just for your edification, AnneWimsey, I did some research regarding pre-planting treatment of Tulip bulbs. Guess what, FREEZING them KILLS them completely. CHILLING them by placing them in breathable container, i.e. a PAPER bag, and placing then in the Crisper Drawer of a refrigerator MAY enhance the stimulation they need to grow BUT FREEZING them DESTROYS the CELLS completely and you end up with S.F.A.

Feeling pretty pleased with myself about now, been TRYING to grow Tulips for who knows how long, ...

Triphid replies on Sep 22, 2021:

@AnneWimsey REALLY, odd that I merely bought them in a package from a store, opened the package, extracted the 3 bulbs, planted them to the depth suggested and left to grow, NO freezing, etc, what-so-ever. Every other attempt over the last 20 odd years has been done by storing the bulbs in a paper bag in the Fruit and Vegetable Crisper Drawer of a Refrigerator and EACH and EVERY one has been a TOTAL failure.

Heh, heh, Caught the little Sod red-handed.

I'd get a locking metal mailbox. When I was a kid the mail was delivered through a slot with a flap in the front door. If your area had curbside mailboxes, I'd talk to the post office about how to get a locking metal delivery box.

Triphid replies on Sep 22, 2021:

@snytiger6 Simple IF you actually think about it, 1) the Mail person delivers through a slot (opening) in the front of the mailbox, 2) the thieving little sod, and his fellow sods, have to open the mailbox from the back, raise the top of it UP and then reaching in. 3) I have informed our local Post office branch of what has been happening and that I have put a set Rat-trap in the mailbox so they can WARN the Mail Deliverer.

I do NOT believe it.

IF the bulbs are frozen/get frozen then does that not also mean that the individual cells making up the bulb get split apart as they freeze?

Your "friend" isn't paying your bills. Whatever they think is irrelevant. You run your life how you see fit. None of us are here to live up to anyone else's expectations. Family, friends, or otherwise. If your friend can't accept how you live, they really aren't much of a friend.

Triphid replies on Sep 22, 2021:

Your guess is as good as mine, last I knew he was unemployed BUT doing some Gardening and Lawn Mowing on the Q.T. and getting paid without informing Social Security of his extra income. Plus he informed the Police, so I've been told, that his mother has now relented and due to the COVID Outbreaks reinstated his monthly 'allowance" to STAY away from the rest of the family. So it sounds like he'll be getting his 2 grand a month from his mother again.

I do NOT believe it.

@AnneWimsey If the plate's have been bolted in place for a few months/years, yes it really is PLUS you have about 1/2 a ton of Coupling assembly to worry about since once the plate comes loose and the Coupling has NOT been secured, it comes down with a very heavy thump, IF you are under it or not. We had one workmate try to show us how 'expert' he was ( even though he had ONLY be qualified for less than a week btw) he cut the holding bolts with an Oxy-Propane torch, the Coupling dropped like a stone and just missed crushing both of his feet. He resigned from the Railways 24 hours later and took up running his own Garden and yard cleaning business.

It's really that simple

Triphid replies on Sep 21, 2021:

Me and wi8th my wry Aussie sense of humour, I'd tend to erect a scaled down model of an Aussie Outback "Thunder-box," aka Toilet, over the top of the access lid to the tank, one that is removable with relative in case of needs to empty it or inspect it, etc. It'd be easy enough to built if you know how to do use a few basic handyman's tools. 1) a simple framework of timber, say 2" x 4" softwood like cedar or pine., constructed in the shape of a rectangular prism standing one end, 2) a few bracing cross pieces one the sides for stability and rigidity, a few pieces of 2'x4' made in the shape a triangular prism to act as beam/rafters for the roof, 3) 4 metal loops attached, 1 in each corner, for driving tent pegs to hold it in place ( tent pegs can be removed easily when moving it is required, 4) you could use either corrugated metal sheeting or fake it with over-lapping timber slats on the sides and across the roof, 5) go fancy and add a false door BUT if you do TRY not to forget to cut out the crescent moon shape near to of the door, that makes it ANTHENTIC Aussie Outback "Thunder-box, " well worthy of drawing the attention of passing tourists, etc.

Hey and FYI, Port Pirie ALWAYS had a worse Blood Lead Level problem that we did here BECAUSE of how they Stock-pile the Ore Concentrates before Smelting them and what the did with slag from the Smelters afterwards as well.

Not much chance of the local Cops doing anything about him or his fellow mail-box raiders since, 1) they are ALL of Indigenous Australia Native Lineage, an Indigenous child/young adult CANNOT be arrest for a minor offence WITHOUT at least 2 Clan/Tribal Elders being present and MUST be given Bail on his/her own recognisance IMMEDIATELY, 2) it would REQUIRE them to leave the Police Station, get into a patrol car and drive somewhere OTHER than the nearest Coffee shop, 3) these little 'darlings (not)' know exactly when the Cops are changing shifts and that is usually when they strike.

Mine is metal, hand made from 1/8th inch stainless steel, unfortunately the clasp and locking system has broken and needs replacing at present BUT I placed a loaded rat trap into it after yesterday so the next attempt, if there is one, will get a very unpleasant surprise and a few very sore fingers to boot.
