What Are Some Of The Things That Annoy You?

I hate people who allow roaches to take over their house and act like you are supposed to ignore them. Boric acid is very effective and doesn't cost much. And I know roaches come in the mail. I keep a can in my living room for junk mail and have seen them coming out of it. When it the only place you ever see one, you know it has to be where it came from. That's why I keep a can of Raid right there too.

The toughest pest to control in my situation are gnats. I know they come from dish water drain, but the only way to keep them in check is with a glue strip. Those thing are ugly and messy but seem to be the best solution I've found.

 
IDK how far north fire ants are a problem, but it's a battle every summer down here. At least they don't invade the house. Probably the worst outdoor pest, aside from the fire ants, I've ever had was with chiggers. Went fishing at a friend of a friend who had a small pond and freshly mowed the grass, or more like hay I suppose, but the three of us ended up eaten up by those things. The worst part... well, remember talking about crotch rockets? Yeah, they liked that area best for some reason. /default_ohmy.png

 
I've dealt with chiggers and fire ants, to me the little fire ant bastards win hands down! (1) They all get on you and send the signal to sting or bite at the same time and believe me, it feels like fire! Chiggers itch like hell but rather put up with that than the damn fire ants. Besides you can't permanently kill the lil suckers, just show up somewhere else.

 
They are both pesky, but for me the fire ants are something you can see and for the most part avoid. I've only had that one bad encounter with chiggers, but it wasn't until it was too late to know they were there. Although there was minor irritating symptoms at the time it was nothing like what What I dealt with the following week. At least with the ants you know right away theres a problem, and they don't seek out sensitive areas to bite you. Having a "sack full" of chigger, which isn't really easy to get rid of, was a lot worse. The ants let you know immediately you have a problem, but the chiggers are not something you can see, and as I said, I don't know of a way to treat them after becoming a victim.

Thankfully I've only had the one serious problem with the chiggers, but you make a valid point about the ants. Get rid of one mound and the bastards show up next week a few feet away. IDK if anyone else has noticed, but in the spring, after a rain you can see the ones awaiting their opportunity to start their own colony climbing to the top of the grass and flying away. Would be queens are the ones that have wings, which they remove before digging their own spot and hoping to start their own colony. Just a bit of "Animal Planet" I learned by accident when walking out after a spring rain. "The More You Know..." type of thing. As my nephew once said I know a little bit of useless information about a lot of stuff. /default_smile.png

When we bought our house (foreclosure deal) these ants were singing "kumbaya" hand in hand, swaying...they were 90% of what was holding our house together, after they'd dined on the place for the last decade.

Yep, hate 'em even more now that I type that out (Cat: while you are over there obsessing about sponges, here I sit pacing over ants)

KK, I really do wish I could take some of this SHIT away from you.  It just doesn't seem fair that good people get to carry such heavy loads.

I can only say that some believe that we only are given what we can handle...

You're strong as an ox still (just in different ways)

I'm glad you have your family; they are your riches.

Hang in there, 

Beranda

I would knock on wood, but then I'd probably discover my wall falling from those things. Maybe the fire ants kick their butt, idk.

I did happen to catch two chicken snakes (aka rat snakes, among other names) this year, one being almost 6 feet long. If anyone has seen "Legend of the Swamp Man", it's what he caught and bit the head off of, but he called it a water moccasin. The one he caught had brown stripes, cotton mouths (aka water moccasins) are completely black.  I let them go, better to have them control the mouse population before they come indoors and cause havoc. I hope to have a chicken coop next year, then my attitude may change.

  3. ClintEastwood @ ClintEastwood: Robert Duvall and a handful of others were a younger actors coach and always said no one worked as hard as those guys did. Robert Duvall and rest would read the full script 228 over and over, then after the last read they would go into how to perform their character. The young man had made it to meet Al who are greats and pull them to the side. And explain what his coach said. They all looked back and said out of every role you’ve seen me in. I have read it 228 by myself. 🫡 🫢 🫢 🫢
  4. ClintEastwood @ ClintEastwood: Sorry for comment below, but I couldn’t delete. Know I see the
  5. Realbenzeyes @ Realbenzeyes: Yeah Robert Duvall passing is a hard one. RIP
  6. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: Damn. Just heard Robert Duvall passed away Sunday. That’s a tough one. He’s one of my favorite actors. From Lonesome Dove to the Godfather and many others. We will miss you Mr Duvall. You entertained us for 7 decades. RIP

  8. ClintEastwood @ ClintEastwood: Just wondering if anyone well trusted has a supply of research thienos or benz in powders for good average prices? Or could give a shout out from me to him? Or the best lowest per each? I’ve seen some cool and some i just know are worth it. Good price rv presses too but it is much more bang for your buck. I have one good vendor. But am looking for variety’s well. Send me a message or reply if you think any. Thanks - CLINT E. Any Heavy stuff too which all seem about the ssmmmmmm
  9. Realbenzeyes @ Realbenzeyes: I always thought I should’ve been born in a much earlier time but I will say, i do enjoy my Xbox and occasional TV series tho 😂
  10. Realbenzeyes @ Realbenzeyes: I just wish the opioid epidemic never happened. Fk the turn of the century (which would be cool no doubt)! Many of my friends and family would’ve ended up in asylums like so many others. I just wish I could get back all those I’ve lost since the start
  11. L @ Layne_Cobain: 1914 I meant
  12. L @ Layne_Cobain: I often wish I lived during the turn of the century or at least before the Harrison narcotics act or whatever I think it was 1924 the fun ended but anyway yeh being able to get laudanum, ❄️ and amphetamine at the local friendly pharmacy
  13. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: Chew on the leaves with a bit of slaked lime and enjoy the mild boost you get from the raw base.
  14. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: I’m sure you know the folks in the mountainous regions along South Americas pacific side buy cócà leaves at the local farmers market just to help acclimate to the higher elevation when they have to head up into the hills.
  15. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: I would certainly have bought it, swilled it, enjoyed it…. Why not? A little boost in your juice isn’t going to hurt anyone.
  16. R @ Royboy99: Exports were reported to have around 7.2mg per FL OZ, it’s success is what actually led to Coca Cola
  17. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: Having cramps and husband thinks you’re acting hysterical (ie. PMS) the doc would either perform a certain massage to relieve the strains of motherhood and family life of that time or send you down to the local apothecary for a bottle of laudanum… A tincture of alcohol and 10% òpìųm. Fun days huh?
  18. R @ Royboy99: @malestrom: yeah thats it, my bad Mariani, yeah i considered that and also its ROA, which was oral so the bioavailability was lower than insufflation, higher degree of purity tho and longer duration … there was a significant marked increase of patents filed by Edison during the time it was released in the US. Presidents were known to use it as well, and the Queen. The pope awarded the wine the Vatican gold medal award
  19. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: I think it was called vin Mariani. But yeah, it was all the rave back in the turn to the 20th century. Original formula Coca Cola did it for a while too. I think it was pretty weak though. Something like 200 mg per liter of wine. Enough to maybe give you a little push but unless you could pound some serious alcohol, it’d be hard to really feel the effects before the ethyl knocked you down on the ground. It was an interesting time period. Laudanum was a “hysterical” woman’s best friend.
  20. R @ Royboy99: Maybe it’s the admixture of my South American dna that works so well with it ? 🤷
