Sorry about the Guinea Piggie, Snob. It is a horrible thing to lose a pet 
Speaking of health issues . . . I got a minor injury inside my mouth in the corner of my tongue. It hurts like hell but I keep spraying listerene to numb it. The girl had a similar one, too. We're both in pain

Pleased that the slow entropy proves my position correct, and the claims of another is as usual completely false and unfounded.

Ugh.
Went to a family gathering at my Aunt's.
Ended up getting punched in the nuts by my seven year old cousin, because she failed to push me off the sofa.
Kind of ruined the afternoon for me...

I thought about it, but then I figured that taking revenge on a seven year old would actually be a step down from being hit in the nuts.

Yeah, but when it comes to revenge, I favour elaborate schemes and melodrama.
Throwing that at a seven year old is just demeaning for everyone involved

It sure isnīt hard to follow this thread these days. One good thing about not many being here now; I donīt need to read through ten pages to catch up!
I just had an odd conversation warning the pest control guy not to step in the wasp nest. No, I dont want you to kill them. Really, theyre fine. Theyre not in the house and the world needs wasps. Just dont step on them or theyll get angry. Also dont spray near the toad house. No, Im not kidding. And watch out for the toad in case hes still up. And keep away from the flowers. We love butterflies and the birds love their caterpillars. And be careful not to hurt the spider webs. *pest guy gets crazy eyes* Actually, why are you here again?
If you've got wasps, toads, birds and spiders, you have all the pest control you need, don't you?
Maybe termites. I don't recall what their natural enemies are.

Sounds like you have a pretty good deal going on there, Grits. All the animals tend to themselves and if left alone everythingīs hunkey-dorey 
Bet your little requests messed with the pest control guyīs head

I was going to take the opportunity to explain integrated pest management to a guy holding a pump sprayer, but then I started getting bitten by mosquitos.
I think some ants are enemies of termites. Yikes. I hope they keep their battles outside.

Grits you sure have the patience I don't. I'd leave the butterflies and caterpillars and toads alone but wasps . . . That's a different story. I love nature and each living thing needs another but wasps are just nasty critters. I love lizards.

I'm not a nature guy, but yeah, some stuff needs to be left alone, spiders and the like. Wasps/hornets should ideally be nuked wherever they're found in my opinion.
Gotta love lizards though

As to wasps, allow me to quote Robert McCammon from "Boy's Life" (a great book, by the way).
"Now let me say a few things about wasps. They are not like bees. Bees are fat and happy and they float around from flower to flower without a care for human flesh. Yellowjackets are curious and have mood swings, but they. too, are usually predictable and can be avoided. A wasp, however, particularly the dark, slim kind of wasp that looks like a dagger with a head on it, was born to plunge that stinger into mortal epidermis and draw forth a scream like a connoisseur uncorking a vintage wine. Brushing your head against a wasps' nest can result in a sensation akin to, as I have heard, being peppered with shotgun pellets. I have seen the face of a boy who was stung on the lips and eyelids when he explored an old house in the middle of summer; such a swollen torture I wouldn't even wish on the Branlins. Wasps are insane; they have no rhyme or reason to their stingings. They would sting you to the marrow of your bones if they could drive their stingers that deeply. They are full of rage... If the devil indeed ever had a familiar, it was not a black cat or a monkey or leather-skinned lizard; it was, and always will be, the wasp."
