I have a tip I can give them...
I'd never meet expectations. Got to die.

I'll admit I fall short at times.
Bugs, thugs, slugs, or snakes...enter my domain uninvited, either them or I die.
About twenty-five yrs ago.....I found a roach on the kitchen counter......by the end of the day my buddy had dropped his camper off in my drive and we had emptied every closet, the pantry and cabinets........I set off about two dozen bug bombs in the crawl space and both floors of the house.......I let it sit two days we washed every bit of our cloths, bedding the whole works....we used OPC and I called them to come in and spray even though I had set off the bombs..........I can't live in a house that has a bug in it......
Exactly. I don't blow smoke up people's backsides, so I don't bother talking with just anybody about most things.
Besides it takes 20 times the expended effort before they hear it from someone else and it's all of a sudden gospel. Usually after they'd paid a high price in the meantime from their stubborn ignorance
Realtor friend of mine told me about a house that had roaches crawling out of the knobs in the doors when he relayed a house to get it on the market. They bombed the everlovin heck out of that house, treated it, cleaned it floor to ceiling and he goes in there to show it a week later and there are roaches all over the place still. He wanted to drop the listing, but stuck it out. Found out a LOT of the owner's properties were like that so he dropped him as a client
Can't stand them things.
Have an acquaintance that can tell if they're in the house when he walks in. He has an allergy and gets itchy and short of breath if there's roaches in a house.
Should have called me. Okolona Pest Control had some good people but, I was a better choice.
(I was around about that time too.)
I could smell them, still can. I also worked part time for Harrington Real Estate and then Re/Max for a while. (I sold a few properties but I had a weakness, I couldn't sell someone something I knew they couldn't afford.) I actually went to real estate school to learn how to sell high dollar items. Actually have my license now but I do mostly my own stuff.
Alexa is a stubborn, nosey, naggy sort. Got one of those with an appliance the wife purchased cause it was "free".... what the ..... were people thinking inventing THAT?
Don't know about you, but I CAN'T STAND inanimate sht talking to me. I turn the volume off on the self-checkout I'm now forced to use at the store late at night. First thing I do.... annoys the heck out of me. SILENCE WOMAN!
Most days I can't even listen to the radio, tho, so I'm probably just a crotchety old man and don't know it.
..... that damn Alexa is in a box in the basement, btw, and she's still probably nosing through my emails and texts....
Go figure, I had my second vaccine yesterday and I just finished my second Yuengling. Must be some sort of reason associated with that...(Should I break the hex and drink a third? Let me flip a coin.)(Yeah, heads I do drink another and tails I drink another.)
Ha, my Darling and I were driving down the road using our GPS and I was spouting listening to the GPS repeat and repeat the direction. I forget exactly what I stated but the google assistant stated; "Yes, you are fat." Me and my Darling busted out laughing. Made an enjoyable trip but I DO agree. That woman should shut her mouth.
I can neither peer pressure nor deny your desire if you feel so inclined as to drink another. BUT IF YOU DO, know that I support your right to choose where when and how you drink it
SOLD!!!! Be back in a minute!
Edit: That wasn't a hard sell...effective, but not hard.

Thanks UK82. The pain isn't that bad(for now), but the inflammation has my upper thumb joint (interphalangeal) swollen. I don't have a full range of motion in my thumb, with is bothersome.
It was windy today. Had to hit 40mph at times and nearly a constant 20. It beat me down and I'm going to sleep early tonight.
Have any of you ever heard of Diatomaceous earth? We found a couple of carpet beetles (Ringo and Paul the other 2 are dead) in the carpet last week and I put Diatomaceous earth down and let it set for 2 days then, vacuumed it up and have not seen any since. However, soon I am going to take the carpet up and put in this fake wood stuff that hooks together.
Don't have any of those type of things around the house.
I didn't know that about vitamin C. I'll have to check out my multivitamin and see what the % of vitamin C it is.About 10 years ago I had a trigger finger syndrome associated with arthritis symptoms. Then reading blog comments from the afflicted and there was one post of hundred stating "It's the Vitamin C stupid" about an overdose of vitamin C contribution to the swelling of tendons causing a nodule to jam inside the tubular sheath. I could press on the nodule and release the locked tendon. I slowed the ingestion of vitamin C and the trigger finger went away. I preferred that to the cortisone injections or invasive recommended surgery. It worked for me and didn't think it should be a secret. I'm not a physician and cannot explain the why behind the relationship between vitamin C and the tendon swelling but that seemed irrelevant when the syndrome went away.
Speaking of trigger finger, my doctor asked his intern what she thought my diagnosis was, and she said trigger finger.
I am in a bit of pain tonight myself. Sparred today and got kicked twice in the ribs. Should have stopped after the first one because, the second one did me in. Hard to breath and getting up and down off the the couch.
Damn you golden years!
I was one of the 696,000 who watched. Loved it! Way to go, Cats!
I feel for you Warrior. I bruised my ribs when I was young playing football and know exactly what you're going through. Like you said, it was hard to breathe, and I didn't want anyone telling jokes, because it hurt to laugh. The one thing that seemed to help me was wrapping my ribs with an Ace bandage.
It is supposed to be an organic pesticide. If it works you are good. You can also get some boric acid very cheap at most any hardware store. The smallest bottle available and put it down according to the directions. The lighter the better.
Things are going faster than our human abilities to cope effectively and learn fast enough to keep up. Instead people get silly. At one time you could understand the world around you. Now it's magic and the lost begin to worship the technology. Something "they" (other people) do. You heard it 1000 times. Things will take care of themselves. That's just stupid, like birds are free. To me that means I get to do it because of someone's inability to cope. Eventually that know nothing feels he knows how you kneed to wake up. The real disconnect is when folks have been confused by intentional deceptions to the point where their simple minds lose touch with reality and go full retard about how they've evolved. Duh not recently. People have been confused to the point when they don't comprehend the fundamental ecological construct of marriage between a man and a women. I'm all about freedom of choice, but not to the point of rejection of biological imperatives to embrace acceptance of evolutionary extinction. So in short, it's not just you. De-evolution is not progress.

My ribs are in some serious pain too. Mine is from packing my Grandson recently but I will never tell. It comes from not healing properly from that "darned" dog. I set all cockeyed now to keep from hurting.
Dayum..... Glad I am on that third Yuengling. Yeah, I'd like to sit with you a while and chew the fat. We'd have a GREAT time.
I had a couple of ribs cracked while sparring a black belt that was 6' 7" 260 back when I was a green belt. I wound up using rib protectors for a couple of months after for training while they healed. This was back in 1989. After he cracked my ribs he kept going after them until my instructor called an end to the match. Another black belt was pissed and told me while I was struggling to breath not to worry he would get him back for me. He did because, they sparred next and he broke his nose. The guy who cracked my ribs is sitting to the left of me in the picture below that was taken back in July after a funeral we went to for another black belt who died and was buried that day. Everyone in the picture below is a black belt in Kyokushin that I had to spar while they where active. The black guy on the right as you look at the picture is 6' 8" about 300lbs now. The guy to his right is about my size and a youth counselor at a local high school. The guy to the right of him is 6' 9" and the son of the guy who cracked my ribs. The man in the front left of picture is our Sensei who is from Thailand originally. And me to his left.

Yep, as soon as the toast was ready it would pop up and say hey baby, I just got it hot for you.

Meat on the hoof.
I too have brocken ribs that still hurt if I make certain movements, that happened ten years ago.
I like chewing fat. You're probably right. I used to chew tobacco before I went turkey to detox the nicotine.
Oh I agree. Lame Deer being spiritual would likely thank it's spirit for providing nourishment before eating it's liver.
I used Donnie over at OPC......when I worked for Schaefer Construction Co..........he was our go to guy.........one of the few that I didn't have to chase to get him to do what he was getting paid to do............If I had known you I would have called you.........you use who you know....Should have called me. Okolona Pest Control had some good people but, I was a better choice.
Good morning from ATX. Currently 74°F, cloudy, windy and humid. Today's high should top out at 90°F.
Feeling great after the dreaded shot. My second jab is scheduled for May 18.
Tonight at 7 pm EST, SEC Network will air UK spring football practice highlights. I plan on watching.
Happy Hump Day.
Wishing happiness and health for all our fellow D-League members.

When I was renovating the house I fell out back....I fell off the ladder and went through the floor joist on the deck............I could feel my ribs flexing when I walked......8yrs later arthritis reminds me that my rib cage was messed up........not all the time but.........when it's giving me the blues I remember the fall......
