A good night's sleep, chocolate, the happiness and satisfaction of sharing on AgingCare forum. Does anyone have some favorite things to think about? Yes, this phrase is from the song in the movie "The sound of Music". My husband and I often resort to using movie lines and song to improve communication. We were the only two in a gathering of people who heard the background music playing. We both had the same (cassette tape/CD). A connection bringing two people together. To this day, we crack up when one uses a simple movie line to make a serious point.
SO, What is one of your favorite movie line, some of your favorite things?
Love Veronica
When feeling bad, I just put one chocolate chip inside each compartment of my pill box instead of pills, then I get well!
Really! My physician is still laughing! He had the audacity to suggest raisins instead, what is wrong with doctors today? They are just not getting it!
Even if I try a gluten-free diet in 2016, dark chocolate will still be on my plate, or in my pill box. Don't worry, I only use the inhaler 3X per year.
My favourite movie line of all time is ""You know how to whistle, don't you? You just put your lips together and ... blow", from To Have And To Have Not. Love LB.
Maybe the refined sugar in chocolate is what's doing it?? Did you know that only cocoa is good for you -- not chocolate? Chocolate has very little cocoa in it; cocoa has antioxidants and is loaded with minerals -- magnesium, calcium, iron, zinc, copper, potassium, and manganese. So have a cup of cocoa and not a chocolate bar. You can search for chocolate hoax and that may give you some results.
I'm wondering what's in the yogurt that causes you to wheeze? Maybe some preservatives? Does this happen with any brand of yogurt?
I suspected the refined flour and sugar because of the inflammatory nature of refined products. Chocolate - that's a mystery. Everyone knows chocolate is the best food of all, so how can it be bad for me and cause wheezing?
Seriously, I suspect one of the additives, flavorings or preservatives. But since I've been off refined flour and sugar, no more wheezing. Chocolate is still an issue. I may have to make the supreme sacrifice after all!
CM: You can even by flypaper in new-fashioned hardware stores. Our local Canadian Tire has it.
Ahhhhh.
Aired out the whole house with open windows, fans, central fan, for 30 minutes.
Has anyone read that the inside air can be more toxic than outdoors?
get up, get out!
Breathe deep.
Me too, going now. Really, really I am.
That could certainly describe those miserable fire ants or whatever they're called that attack in formation and wipe out crops and whatever else is in their way.
Maybe they're the ones that trained the ISIS nuts.
And no, like Gershun I haven't been drinking, not watching bug spray commercials, but for some reason remembering some of more graphic horror movies over the years.
Time to read some more gardening magazines and get normal again.
Keep it up - I'm in a much better mood just from having visualized your graphic descriptions!
With ants, the only really effective answer is to trace and destroy the nest - if it's accessible, boiling water in large quantities and try not to think about karma; if it isn't, use powder on their main traffic routes - individuals track the poison back into the nest and it will eventually reach the queen, which is the key goal. Tricky if it's under the foundations, of course...
I think they could work for ants, but the ants would have to be channeled (rather, "tempted") onto the strips. My experience with ants is that they like to travel, all over, wherever they want to go in search of either water or food.
That's a good idea though. I think I'll try it by putting some water in a small tin or tuna fish can and let the ants get trapped on the sticky stuff. You could also make a trap of duct tape overlapped to create a solid border.
I've had ant problems periodically and have one now since the weather has been so warm. They also seem to come inside when the neighbor cuts branches and piles them up on the side of her yard, fairly close to the setback line of my property.
The best method I've found for eradicating ants is the mixture of 20 mule team borax (I think the invisible mules stomp on the ants), sugar and water. I can't find the specific proportions right now because McAfee is on holiday break and isn't advising which googled sites are safe (I don't visit any websites that aren't marked safe).
What I found worked best was to use 2 throw-away dishes, one with a borax and sugar "moat", with a smaller can or dish in the center, containing the water. The ants had to cross the moat in order to get to the water, tracking through the borax and taking it back to the nests.
I used it one day on the tiny kitchen ants. Put it out, next day there must have been 70 or 80 or more little tiny ants crawling around an area of about 14" by 14". Next day, even less. That was a few years ago and no little ants have been in that area since.
He's a straight shooter... when it comes to political correctness, disciplining children, etc... I rewatched it....
Let it snow, baby...let it reindeer.
