Re: All Around You

I did some organizing today in the other room to make room for my new washer. All around was a skil saw, bits and pieces of boards, air compressor, bags of bedding, 20 year old TV, it still works, empty buckets, tools, vacum cleaner, two chairs, drop-leaf table, toilet, boxes of old cassette tapes, sawdust and a dead mouse. I finally got everything shoved back where it all belongs except the dead mouse. I can walk down the middle now.

Ripening fruit on the kitchen table, everything from mangos to peaches and bananas...finally got rid of those annoying fruit flies...I'm surrounded w/glasses of vinegar /dish soap filled jars filled w/DEAD friggin fruit flies...( those suckers " took the bait "...)

First time around, I failed to include the liquid dish soap ( which enables them to crawl out after they " party " on the apple cider-vinegar ) GOTCHA ! :twisted: :mrgreen:

I found something that does a pretty good job of controlling these piss ants. I use that Awesome brand of spray cleaner you get at the dollar stores, its cheaper than ant spray and works just as good.

Often times " more expensive " doesn't necessarily mean better...

In the garden amongst all the greenery, catching some rays while reading...
