” WD-40 takes a bit longer. “

so the more sadistic of us should stick with WD-40.

LOL!

I used a lawyer, who, in retrospect, should have been put in storage along with her.

Which one gets more money? The lawyer or the ex-wife? I’ve never been able to figure that out.

Always pleased to see you, Frank. I’m really sad about the flamingoes, when I think about them. We’re not allowed to have flamingoes in our subdivision at all.

Skippy the Echolocating Wonderbat ...

Oh, that's a good one!

After an excursion to Walmart, the highly numerate James is charging through pages of multiple addends. He's starting to get goofy, though.

Any oil-based sprays (animal, vegetable or mineral) hair sprays and spray deodorants will kill insects. The oils/drying agents clog their breathing holes and smother them. Oven cleaner, Scotchguard, window and bathroom foams and sprays ~ use your imagination and see what happens.

You're kidding! The bugs are doomed here this year!

Not yet, but if he finishes today, I’ll take him for some tomorrow. It’s too late today - we have to get supper and leave for church by 5:15.

We got our gardening started later than I would have preferred. DP wasn’t working for 7 weeks, but he didn’t do anything until the last week! Maybe we won’t get really hot weather for a while, give the plants a chance to get going.

DP is back at work? How wonderful! I didn’t know.

June, July, and Aug. are expected to be warmer and drier than normal around here, but they haven’t said anything about May.

Yes, he just started the new job today. Very peaceful here with one less guitarist ...

They say it will rain here Tuesday night/Wednesday morning. Tom had better get the grass mowed.

Would I kid you????

"Insects r or frenz enemas.

Anything that is a "petroleum distillate" or "hydrocarbon" or something REELY sticky is gonna clog up the breathing pores of the critters.
