Maybe I will have a chance soon to try it. First to shovel through all the mail on hubby's desk, dresser, etc and find the stuff for the taxes, as they need to be done by next thursday?<br /><br />Hubby thinks if I find all the papers and he installs the software, the taxes should just be done, no other work is required. Maybe, if he had left last years installed or at least remembered where he saved them, I would not have to find the missing key ring, so I could get the kids social security cards out of the safe deposit box. I have no idea what any ones number is, though my dr has them in their records, why I don't know?mommeeof10https://www.blogger.com/profile/03611832953435781430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29186394.post-76868741424652045532010-04-08T19:05:24.274-04:002010-04-08T19:05:24.274-04:00I sure do miss having my hubby home to kill bugs w...I sure do miss having my hubby home to kill bugs while telling me stories about sleeping on the roof of his house in the Summer as a kid, with bats, spiders, and other pests around him.

Common wisdom around here is that none of the poisons, etc. work on them, and all you can do is seal up all the cracks in your house. Hah! I also read today that dropping them in soapy water kills without releasing the scent that attracts more. Since there was one in my CAR yesterday, I'm thinking "kill them all!" is a reasonable strategy.Ann in NJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08867456693546188505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29186394.post-15572101837761801062010-04-08T08:20:14.554-04:002010-04-08T08:20:14.554-04:00Yeah, but could Ma Ingalls simultaneously write a ...Yeah, but could Ma Ingalls simultaneously write a blog post, plan a trip to target, and tweet about both?

We have swarms of ladybugs, but, I mean, they're LADYBUGS. Too cute, even in swarms. Ants drive me nuts. And when I fished a fully engorged tick out of the washer (they don't drown, you know) but had no idea what it was so I was holding it and only realized I'd been flicking the mouthparts when it started to stretch its legs out? Well. I'm surprised you didn't hear me shrieking from there.<br /><br />Keep spraying vinegar for the moths anyway. The boxes only attract the adults, if I'm correctly picturing what you've got. They just let you know you still have them. It won't kill any eggs or larvae.amyhttp://abccreations.squarespace.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29186394.post-21019087181937623712010-04-07T22:42:15.157-04:002010-04-07T22:42:15.157-04:00Why don't you have another man over to install...Why don't you have another man over to install your dishwasher for you?
