I've had ants, but not for a couple of years. The main vermin I have to deal with are camel crickets. [link] Those buggers can jump as high as my head and try to move in when it's too dry (most of the summer) or too cold (most of the winter). Luckily, my cat thinks they're the best toy ever, so while they may come in they don't stay long.
The next time you decide to stab me in the back... have the guts to do it to my face.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Happy New Year everyone!

Kat, can you embroider over the clipped patch? If you use the same fiber content yarn it should wash and shrink/not shrink the same as the body of the sweater.
Nope. The hole is about the size of a sharpie marker. Then there is still tape residue on a patch the size of the tape which is about the size of my palm. AM not amused.
The the thing that has really broken me of the ick factor is having Grace home. The sheer amount of bodily fluids I deal with on a day to day basis are kind of intense. Let me just say, there is nothing tactile-y worse than stomach acid.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Huh. Just west of Powers near S. Carefree. I used to deliver pizzas for Domino's in that neighborhood back in the mid-80s.

Morning, all. And Happy New Year to billytea!
I had crap sleep and my jaw is all yonked. Un-yonk, jaw!
We've never had a mouse in the house, and I'm not surprised, with 4 cats and a Corgi. Minnie deposits little gifts on the stoop all the time, though. I praise her and dump them in the trash. Mice don't bother me.
Mmmm, coffee.

Random hysteria from the holidays: a four-year-old relative saw his mother taking the neck from inside the turkey and said, "I'm not eating a turkey penis."

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Happy New Year BT!
Haven't had mice in my living quarters since college.We get bugs.(Mostly stinkbugs,ugh.) The cats find them interesting, but we're the ones who have to dispose of the bugs.
