Vermicomposting-filter: while there seem to be a lot of places that sell red wigglers (and other worms like "super jumping reds"?), I'm not sure who is reputable, what's a good price, and what metric I should be looking at. [more inside]

My worms are getting cold! I started a vermicompost this summer, in a big plastic bin on my balcony. It's working very well, but the temperatures have dropped and the little wrigglers are getting cold and slow. Two options: move the bin to my unfinished basement with a dirt floor, or try to insulate the bin well enough to keep them warm in their current location. The basement is probably best, but I'm worried about mice! Any suggestions to keep all of the critters happy? [more inside]

The other night I saw a woman with many tattoos - one of them was of a pair of worms that had the heads of a perky boy and girl. I know I've seen this image before but my searching has been in vain. Does this sound familiar?

My backyard is infested with suicidal worms. We have a pool. I've left the cover off this winter as it allows the filter to work better, but the bottom of the pool is covered in worms that have drowned themselves. Vacuuming the bottom at least every two weeks. Where are they coming from, as I never see them crawling across the deck towards the pool, even in the rain, and why are they doing this? [more inside]

Has anyone here actually had worms? The medical sites say that 1-2 billion people have intestinal worms, with at least 17% of Americans carrying something. You can be anonymous by saying it was a friend that had it, or just mention a friend that really did. Please, no pet stories. [more inside]

Wormfilter. Why did so many corporations wait so long to implement the recent updates to Windows 2000? Microsoft released them last Tuesday. As of yesterday many corporations were just implementing them, and by then it was too late and they got hit with the zotob worm. [more inside]

Two friends have been infected with the evil Aurora pop-up thing, and I've spent hours thinking about how to kill it. I've installed Avast on their systems and no dice yet. Is there an app that will destroy it, or is the fix deep DIY registry surgery? Thanks!

Can I put earthworms into a rotating composter? I have one of those drum kinds that sit off the ground on a rack that spin around for aeration. The spinning takes the place of the earthworm action in the traditional pile, but I've heard that you can put worms in the spinning drums as well to speed up the decompostion process.

Our three cats have fleas and worms. We've tried a couple of over-the-counter products, but they haven't helped (especially with the worms, which are our biggest concern). The vet wants to sell us expensive remedies, of which we are very skeptical. Before we shell out big bucks for the stuff the vet suggests, are there other things we should try? What has worked for you?
