My wife and daughter are horrified of these things. I didn't watch the show with them, so everything is cool. Gregor, that may be the most rational thing you have said to me. Attack their food source! Of course, they tried that is on the show and it proved futile. but I haven't given up. Oh, and my new short story ia going to be called EVANS GETS EATEN BY SPIDERS.
This is too early for saturday but my son has a soccer game at 9 in another town. All I have to say is when I'm old and can't take of myself they better remember all I did for them lol.

So Adam...it sounds like it's time to go old school on the spider problem. Have you tried sacrificing a goat? I mean it's a little unorthodox, but probably cheaper than an exterminator.
I'm pretty sure we have to go the lamb route. I looked into Satanic rituals and what not. All of them seemed to want the female sheep. I think I know why... they say they will also take Evans, so I can't lose.

I was going to get you this for Christmas, (view spoiler)
Aww looked what you missed out on Adam lol
It's okay.. I'm fighting giant spiders right now. Sorry, Evans. I will likely see you in hell. Please don't hurry. Oh, and I can't see the picture of the aborted Christmas present, so I really don't know what I am missing.

Commence weeping.
Use fire ant killer, Adam. Put it outside around the perimeter of your home and wet it down and it will kill the shit out of 'em.

I've got the zombie film Fido on and after lots of collered zombies the free ones a taking over the town.Are fire ants those big ones that were in Indy 4?
Just sitting reading with a little space heater next to me because I don't want to turn the heat on and smelling a very fragrant scentsy candle:) Nice nite to get my read on as I've been lacking lately. Happy reading everyone!
Yes I'm obsessed! I found blood crazy and salems lot for a buck!
I'm sitting at home, drinking coffee, and reading. Need to go somewhere in about an hour. I've had a good weekend although I had to work yesterday. Watching this Dallas/Phil game and laughing my ass off on some of the plays, calls, and challenges. Definitely one to remember.
Panthers game today was like a hockey match. Fighting after almost every play during the second half. ADDY, what is blood crazy? I want to revisit Salem's Lot sometime.
Thanks for the advice, Chuck. I like killing the shit out of them!
Angie wrote: "Are fire ants those big ones that were in Indy 4?"Never saw it, but I doubt it; fire ants aren't big at all. They're just relentless as hell.
You had it right to miss it, it was really crap. But in one seen all these red ants, maybe they were ants, swarmed over this man and ate him.
I'll take our wolf spiders over those ants, Angie.
I don't know Adam , spiders that bite or ants that eat you. Are your spiders the kind that lay baby spiders in you, then they all come running out of you. I saw that on tv.
I'm pretty sure they sleep in your mouth at night, and they carry their young on their backs. So sometimes when you smash one you get about fifty babies skittering off in all directions. I don't think they give birth inside you, though.
I just looked and it says they don't,lol. But some bug in Africa does do it and you get a grub growing in your skin. Nasty.
1550Sat outside the station waiting for #2 as there is another train delay
I'm about to go to bed, because it's really late here, and I have class in the morning! Which will be fun, I suppose.
I am watching The Voice and reading. I can't stay up much longer because I have to take the grandbaby to daycare in the morning. Must get up no later than 4:30 a.m. (yuck that sounds horrible).
Having to get up so early. I remember having to do that! It's nearly 2.30 in the UK so I'm going to have to sleep soon.
Just got everything unpacked in my room in Tampa. Got 3 days of Ops Mgr conference ahead of me. Going to take a nap now, though. I didn't sleep well - my mind kept going over everything I needed to bring, but I think I packed it all.
I was eating dinner and turned on the tube just to have something to watch while I ate and found Flowers in the Attic on a local channel. I must watch this now that I've read the first book in the series.
Cindy...it's not a great adaptation...but if you think of it as a lifetime movie...it's kind of fun. Hell, Louise Fletcher is worth it alone.

But I never knew it was adaptated for tv.

Thanks Scott. We turned it on about 45 minutes ago and it was into the movie already. Just went off, but I thoroughly enjoyed the part we watched.

OK, it's looking like it's gonna be a TV night. Found Biggest Loser on and The Voice comes on right after that. Then I need to go to bed. 4:30 a.m. again in the morning. Talk to everyone tomorrow.

I bought the second book but haven't read it yet Angie. I must read this soon now.

Angie...lol...same here...these books wete the rage when I was in jr. high...and while the author sometimes gets slammed...I thought they were like candy. AND...they only made the first film...it actually came out in theatres..but didnt do so well...acting is pretty bad in mother and daughter role. Mother is Steve Martins wife...she was never a good actress...but its fun for the nostalgia of it all.
Building some new bookshelves I picked up from IKEA earlier. Anyone want to help me out then together? :-)
lol...hell no....IKEA...been there...done that...bought the tshirt...my prayers are with you and the assembly gods
I love my shelves but putting them together is always a bitch.
Scott wrote: "lol...hell no....IKEA...been there...done that...bought the tshirt...my prayers are with you and the assembly gods"Lol that is too funny.
Just finished a very late dinner and my hubby is getting the kids ready for bed. Think I'm gona see what's on tv
I need a new bookcase, my books are now in piles around the edges of rooms. And on tables, tv stands...
Yeah, my books were getting out of control too. Scott, IKEA is a four letter word for a reason! :-) I'm suffering.
I sure hope all the bolt holes were properly drilled out already.
Lol I've never bought anything from there, is it that bad?
angie...a fun and inexpensive way is to mount the bottom of a black metal bookend to the wall...with the vertical end sticking out. Slip the end of it in the middle of the book, with book spine sticking out horizontally...with a rubber band or tie holding the book closed. Then you can stack books upwards. Its an easy idea...you can mount them at different levels...varying the height of the stacks...and it ends up being wall art.
You can also take old window shutters...inexpensive at salvage yard... mount away from the wall with wooden blocks and break out some of the slats....slide books down over the remaining slats...it essentially becomes something to the old hanging newspaper, magazine racks in libraries.

Ants should be tiny, these were up to a centimetre and they had wings. They were even in my bed. I had to get my son round and he told me they were ants. After two summer's of this I moved.
