My friend had a party the other nite and I was sitting at the kitchen table and seen a mouse come down his brick wall from the metal rafter in the ceiling. He dropped about 3 feet and took off down the back side of his kitchen counter. I heard him go "THUD!" It scared me to death. I did not know mice can do that. Do all mice climb? How can I mouse proof, so I dont get them? Do mice bite? I am terrified.

I have manicured (very leefy) bushes along the front of my home. About two months ago I went to trim a bush on the side of my home and was immediately confronted with a highly organized military sytle bee attack... I'm confident that these bees studied the "shock and awe" concept that was used in Iraq... (My attempt at humor)...

Anyway, I can't see a hive because there are a tremendous about of leaves on this bush. As a whole it stands perhaps 4 ft tall X 4 ft wide. I live in Florida but the bees are definately not Africanized. A few dozen fly out but I haven't been stung yet (as I would if they were the more dangerous variety).

My question... How in the hell do I get rid of these darn things so that I can trim my bush? As I said... I can't see the hive to spray it with a chemical and I can't get near the thing without immediately pissing them off. I tried soaking the tree withTriazide (or something like that) which is supposed to kill 140 or something bugs... didn't work.

I'm currently in the middle of the wildfires in So. Cal. My new pool is inundated with ash. Any suggestions as to cleaning it up or what I should avoid doing?

Thanks!

I think that a twin bed and a single bed are the same size but my husband feels differently. We need a bunk bed for our kids and my husband insistes on getting a single bed mattress one because it is smaller. Is this true>?>?????

I've recently acquired one of these for the first time. To start with I think I had more flies in the house than I had before!!lol

But I have just noticed that it is working and it is now full of dead flies. Am I supposed to empty them or do they decompose into the plant/soil?

I had a very bad appetite, and my parents made me eat on the balcony (doctor said - for fresh air), and told me not to leave my seat until I eat all the porridge. And they did it day after day, keeping me there, trying make me to eat it. And I did not want to, but I made friend with a large crow, and it came daily and ate the porridge off my plate, and my parents praised me, and then gave me pancakes, hot and nice, and I
wanted them for myself, but the crow came and took them all, I tried to fight it, but it is large, with a large beak. And it ate
everything, and flew away.
Now will it go on coming and stealing all the yummy food off me every day? I wanted only to give it porridge.

We have typically had thousands of those awful little pests in our house in the past few winters. But we had a really bad drought this summer and have yet to have a hard freeze this autumn. We haven't seen a single one, yet this fall...and this is typically when they start showing up.

I read that they thrive in warm, WET summers. Do you think the beetles will be as big a problem as usual?

BTW, If you have had them, what do you do about them?

I have a vacuum I bought 5 months ago with receipt but no original packaging that quit on me. Can I take it back? Also, I cheeked their stock and they don't carry it anymore...so I guess I have to get a different one? Anyone know the return policy? I'm in a small town and don't want to call and ask about returning a vacuum and them say "no" and then they'll know it'sme if I go in again.
