Good afternoon, NIKK.
So good to see you!
Our President and Pres. Macron not on the same page on the Iran issue, sounds like Macron might have moved closer to us since a French reporter took him to task.
Have you-all any idea what the hand gestures mean on the balcony scene? Twitter is all buzzing giving their impressions. Has the picture been posted? If not I will post it. It is quite strange.
FRiends, this is totally off topic but I can’t stand it any longer. The flies here are horrible. Ugh, gave up on the fly swat yesterday because it did nothing but stir them up. Ick, finally went with hand squishing since they seem to congregate in one window and mostly sit there waiting to be squished. No, the window isn’t in the kitchen. Yes, the window is closed. Yes, I’ve washed the window, the sill, the edge where it goes up and down. Washed it several times over the past few weeks with store brand windex. Cleaned every nook and cranny of it for half an hour yesterday, inside and as much as I could outside but outside shouldn’t matter. Vacuumed up countless dead ones on the floor. The seal and window molding is wood but the window frame is aluminum. Put out homemade fly catcher jars with apple cider vinegar or sugar water on the sill and have basil and mint plants nearby that are supposed to deter them. But still have and invasion of flies. There’s a jar with vinegar in it right now that they’re happily buzzing around but not going into.
They’re coming in through the back door, not the window. Yeah, yeah, shut the door. Nope, not happening. I’d be up and down every 5 seconds constantly letting furbabies in and out and in and out and in and out. I’d thought about getting that screen thing with magnets for the door but don’t think the kitties would understand it and the dogs would have it torn up in no time. One dog is practically blind and gets confused/lost going behind the door instead of through it so she’d go nuts trying to get out. Also, thought of getting a screen door and cutting the screen off the lower half for them to make a somewhat smaller opening to get in but figured they’d all still get in.
Help! What to do?
