We quit planting sweet corm because of the deer. They still come eat the apples that fall before we pick them.

Prisons have inmates help install razor wire so they know how sharp it is. Should be interesting to get the deer to help with the fence.

Also better for my sanity.

I have to deal with enough clogged bathroom sinks and tubs full of hair from 3 women in my house. I can't even imagine with 6.
I have enough hair for three or four women. That's WHY you get a screen trap for the drain...and dump it after each shower.

Yeah, not really getting into blaming women for hair in the drain. Husband losing hair and six men shaving, sure. And how do they somehow flick the hair they shave in every nook and cranny of the bathroom?

My hair is waist length, and still pretty thick for my age. PapaLew's hair is long-ish and he sports a trimmed beard and moustache. In our house, the woman definitely accounts for the majority of the hair - and I probably did when the boys were home too. :D

...and I like SCyclone's wife "name" too... :D

1. Leftover lasagna>freshly made lasagna
2. Just throwing in here that I love your CF name for your wife.



Garbage disposal replacement is the only plumbing husband is allowed to do himself. He has successfully completed this in two houses. Banned on the rest since he and his brother messed up our master bath plumbing a week before I had my nine pound baby.:(

Just FYI........
Somewhere along the line the word vixen came to mean a hot-headed or ill-tempered person. Nowadays vixen is often used as a derisive term for an unpleasant or mean woman. Vixen also gets used frequently in descriptions of female film characters. In this way it doesn’t really mean that the character is bad tempered. As slang, to call someone a vixen means that she's sexy and flirtatious, a label she may or may not like.

The bolded part is why I use it. Really.

I Hate Deer Fall 2017 Edition: Put my Schefflera Arboricola indoor tree outside earlier this summer. Been trying to kill the scale that infested it. The google says to throw it away and they are impossible to get rid of. I am trying to be the first to "win" this. Used some systemic stuff and also strayed with an alcohol mix. They just seem to keep coming back. Channeling my inner McNamara and pursuing a war I cannot win.

Anyway, something keeps knocking it over. Based on the damage that deer did to my hostas while I was gone I am guessing the ******* deer are the ones that have knocked it over. The big pot it is in must weigh 25-30 pounds so it was unlikely the squirrels or feral cats did it. Was thinking aliens for a while. At least the ravaged hostas were at the end of their seasonal run but it's a reminder those ******* deer will be back for the yews this winter. Pulled out the stinky ick deer spray. If I lived in the country they would all be dead.

I will come over with my 30.06 and end any deer that try to damage your property. (I'll cook it for you, too - venison is actually very tasty!)

You saw my photo (along with Hannah, at her wedding) - I don't have enough hair to even comb anymore. The vixen has long blonde hair.....and I'm very thankful for that.

Vixen, as I knew it (and is probably outdated now), refers to a sassy, sexy woman. Got no problem with a man calling his wife that. :D

After an 11 hour work day yesterday, I got home and there was a smell coming from beneath the kitchen sink. The garbage disposal had been leaking so we got to remove everything from beneath the sink and clean up the mess under there. We now have only a bucket under the sink. Got a new garbage disposal last night and will be installing it Thursday. Fun?
I've had to replace a couple in 26 years. The last one I got has more HP than the previous ones, which I like. Only problem now is, because it has a deeper reservoir, my hand can't reach the bottom to pull out things that don't grind up very well.

Poor PapaLew! Can you imagine having to pull waist length hair out of a drain??
