Help! I've Got Squirrels... And I Can't Get Rid of Them!!!

lisaviews @lisaviews (184) • United States 9 Feb 08

After over 2 years of my trials and tribulations, I am at my wits end. I have been feeding a family of California Ground Squirrels. They love all of my vegetables and fruits, and even the seeds for the birds. After the first year...

kraziekara Finally got around to looking up what a California ground squirrel is. It doesn't look as ugly as I thought it would. It's horrible that these little creatures are doing so much harm to your garden. After some research, I found out more about these...

kraziekara The flavor of ice cream I eat most often, which isn't very often, is mint chip. My favorite is probably Ben and Jerry's Half Baked.

kraziekara My kids embarrass me on an almost daily basis, but not to the point of killing a dog. (How sad.) The best story I have was when my boys, ages 3 and 6, were with me at the doctors office. This is a large office with many doctors, a lab, and urgent care inside,...

Do you hate it when your man stares at another woman?

ladyrainfx @ladyrainfx (366) • Philippines 1 Feb 08

I must admit it I stare a lot to beautiful women in almost all of my encounter I am very much open about having my man stare at them but sometimes I'd feel different if he starts to really stare at a good one. Do women tend to...

kraziekara Interesting that you brought this up. I was thinking about this last night as I was watching 3:10 to Yuma. If anyone isn't familiar with this title, 3:10 to Yuma is a new movie based off an old western. They were still fighting in the North and South. There...

kraziekara This is always a struggle for me too. I wish I could say I am always a "good" parent and ignore the tantrums and not let my children win. Well, I'm not perfect or even close. Sometimes I let their tantrums get to me and get myself all in a frazzle then I give...

kraziekara I am not writing a book, too much for me. Maybe keeping a small notebook with you and writing and ideas for your book as they come. Then set aside 10-15 minutes a day to expand on these ideas. Hopefully that will help you organize your ideas a little better.
