Qwerty: What is that long candle lighter thing? You burn them right there?

You know what we do? We don't buy a house with backyards to avoid all these problems ;-) I am not scared of spiders at all. Mr. CZ is more scared for me- have a habit of running after insects with a shoe to kill them. We had one of those flying ones at our house- went after it with a shoe :-) Kids used to be scared before, but now depending on the size of the spider, they have mastered the art of shoe stamping.

SoCal- what you do when Mr.SoCal is at work?? Scream with the boys? Or boys are old enough to take care of things like that to save momma?;-)

I was fifteen when I killed a snake- I had gone in the kitchen to get water, and saw something move. Wasn't sure what it was, so turned on the lights- there it was! Almost 3' long. Dad wasn't home, mom was a pampered mom- never swatted a fly! So asked her to hold it's head with a stick, while I hit it till it died. Oh God! It was so cruel doing what I did, but if it had escaped somewhere in the house, would have been terrible.. Lot of scorpions are in the murder record too. Never was scared. But these days I am a good Irvine mommy, I only kill ants and spiders.

Homer, SoCal- what if you are alone and "it" is in the same room, no one to help?

I've been noticing a lot of spiders and their webs in the trees lately too.  I'm terrified for the gardeners who have to trim the hedges and shrubs where the spiders hide in.  :(

Shush! You don't say those things in public ;-)
The webs are huge too, so are the spiders. What's the variety called? Every tree in our community has those. Hope none of them come indoors.
 
Afternoon update: Morningstar veggie burger (SoCal- their Sausage patties are the worst in my experience), Salad greens. Fage + Kashi Go Lean Crunch (SoCal - how could you NOT like it? Seriously, that's the best sugared cardboard flake out there).

Yeah, the Crunch is my favorite! It's good. Kashi has a LOT of different kinds. The one I don't like... I think it's the Original but I'm not sure.

Oh OK- I eat only Crunch, so no clue. There was one more kind that I ate a few years ago when Costco did a two pack, wasn't much of a fan.

Your mother AGREED to hold the snake's HEAD?  :o

I live up in the hills now, where we have all kinds of woodland creatures. Lots of lizards, rabbits, mice, etc. Even mountain lions. There was a headless rabbit lying dead in my yard. A rat half-alive on my patio, and one climbing the window screen way up at the top. A lizard came inside. The solutions vary. A double-tap of 409 or Windex so the house doesn't smell like poison. Then Raid. If it's too big a trashcan on top of it. I may or may not have called my husband, pleading for my life in a shrill voice, loud enough for his coworkers to hear, begging him to drive down from work and take care of it.  :-X

If it's outside, my "boyfriend", Juan The Gardener, is just a phone call away. He'll do anything I ask.

Luckily, my big boy is starting to take care of things for me.
 
CZ - this is what is was talking about and yes, i just burn them right where they are.  Then the ants take it from there.

But...but... what if the flaming spider crawls under the eave of your roof. Can't it start a fire?
Click to expand...

they are always close to the ground, on the web from the wall to cement, then i hit them with the flame, they fall on the ground and i continue to flame them, they dont actually catch on fire, just makes them crispy. and the ants take it from there.

I meant to ask you, Homer - what is motivating you to eat better and what are your goals? If I recall, for a brief time, your avatar had a photo of you. The guy in that photo appeared to be in good health... on the thin side, even(?) Was it not you?
 
Yes... it's irritating when fit guys think they're fat.

Trust me... I have no idea why Homer is "dieting"... he's just trying to make me feel bad. :(
 
Aww, Iho. It is always sad to read what you think of yourself. Is there someone in your life who is giving you a hard time about your weight, dragging you down? Honestly, I don't think you could pull off that sexy-tough look if you were thin. I'm not just saying that to make you feel better. Chin up, Iho. Were you a big boy your entire life or is it a more recent thing you're adjusting to?

Don't think I ever posted a photo of me up or an avatar of me.  :o

My motivation is too get ripped and fit but mainly be healthy.

I call it dieting but it's mainly eating clean and lean :)
