Why do weeds continue to thrive in weather like this but the good plants start dying?  :(

I'm here.  :biggrin:  I'm sitting here at the Baltimore/Washingtion International Airport waiting on my flight to Fort Lauderdale.  Fortunately for me, I found a hot-spot.  My flight doesn't leave for 2 more hours, so at least now I can surf while I wait.  :yes:
Doing a fly by are we???? LOL!!!!  :smile: :para:

Because Mother Nature is a very cruel woman sometimes.  :sumo:

What really irritates me is when I was pulling the weeds tonight I got into an ant hill and those little suckers got in my gloves and were biting the crap out of me.  Those little red ants have a fierce bite...

speaking of water as a way to rid ones home of pests...

a friend had a problem with a possum in her crawl space...
so she sat a trap, caught the sucker, and then called animal control to come get it.
They said they dont do that. She asked if she should just go drop it in a field somewhere...they said no, something about rabies.
So she asked what she SHOULD do. They told her to fill a plastic trash can with water and drop the thing in, cage and all.

we were trapping our trespassers--skunks, racoons, groundhogs--mostly.  then we'd call the animal control guy, he'd remove them for us.  one day the animal guy was away.  we had a skunk.  it was hot out.  (you have to set the traps in a black garbage bag to make it look like a cave--critters are too smart around here.)  we didn't want him baking in the sun and weren't about to let him loose in the fenced-in yard again.  we called the cops to remove him.  well, they took him... and fined us for illegal trapping.  apparently, it is illegal to trap ANY quadraped, even mice--no matter the harm they may do.

(we have a pal or two in the legal system and weaseled out of the fine... and donated our 4 $75 traps to the city.)
don't threaten me with a good time.

And here I thought you only trapped two-legged victims!!

That reminds me of the time a beaver decided to set up housekeeping in my back yard. It was literally destroying all of my trees, so I called the wildlife service. They told me they couldn't move it that time of year because it likely wouldn't survive. But they offered to put me in touch with a trapper who would come kill it for me when the season opened in about a month.  :rant:

So I shot it.
