ElicBxn @MarieCoyle I've never seen eggs on the cats, but the poo, that's another manner. I do know fruit flies like the drains, but I can't get to the drains in the kitchen sink right now. The dish washer never worked, I hate to hand wash dishes. My 'low tech'...

I talked about the flies, and yes, they are still making absolutely crazy. However, because of them, I started working on my "mountain." Now, I have a problem. This is one I seemed have had my life. Not as bad as some... but...

ElicBxn I really haven't drop sizes, well, maybe going from 3X barely fitting to the bottom of 3X. Now, when I started this thing, 3X was 28s, now it isn't and lots of company don't go beyond.

ElicBxn Trying to put the chair in my car is how I hurt myself earlier in the spring. I'd say the gravity drop isn't exactly my idea of fun either, but... there we are.

ElicBxn @MarieCoyle I have a catio and the cats have flaps to get inside. The cat litter is inside and I have seen signs of maggots, so some may grow up before I clean the boxes, I do have 7 cats. I have heard I need to put stuff down the sinks for the tiny...

ElicBxn I got over 20 maybe over 30, just in my bedroom/office yesterday. There are easily that many today. I think I've already accounted for 10, and I was out picking up the roommate from the hospital for a while.

ElicBxn When the lights are out, they don't seem to be around me. Maybe they go into the window curtains...? I did have things shut down but the light I was reading with and while they came to that, it wasn't like with the over heads or the monitor.

ElicBxn I found it also at our major grocery chain and, yeah, expensive.. I will try a different one, but the flies do seem to be very attracted to light and I'm going to see if this other one works.

ElicBxn Smushing them is not what I like to do, but I have never found citronella candles or the like has ever worked. One year, I have no idea why, maybe the condo place my brother had some fireworks and wanted us to sit out on his balcony and lit a couple of those...

When I go for Chinese I usually get Chicken with Cashew nuts. I love the way the dish tastes and every place has it. If I don't get that, I will get Kung Pao chicken. I have had other things but I never like them as well as those...

ElicBxn @snowy22315 you are right, I do, and I'm kind of aware I may never eat Chinese food again. Now, there was a time when my wife, years before we got married, had her youngest nephew visiting and he wanted "Chink food." We looked at each other. Now,...

Does anyone think "sooth" means truth? I have heard it, and probably used it, mean to help a person who is injured or the like. Maybe to make it easier on a person. "She soothed the man's sunburn with cool water and some aloe...

ElicBxn Yes, "soothsayer" does mean "truth teller" since sooth means "truth." Of course that is probably the final remnant of the word. Soothe is another story...

That's how much I got paid today. And then I spent 15.50 of it. But for that I got these pretties. The potted flowers were a quarter each. The 2 rose bushes in the back were only 3.50 each. I had been trying to get some of those...
