Random Facts...XLVII

my back hurts so much it made me forget about the headache

 

Found a few of these under the eves today...

 

wd 40 makes them vacate


i recommend doing it on a cold night

 

Maybe they can pay rent with honey.

 

Wasps don't make honey... They just make more wasps

 

Sounds like she is, unfortunately. It reminds me of my Belzebuth that passed away last year, he was exactly like what you described in the days before he died.

 

Didn't I tell you to do something about your eavestroughs in post #564?

Take a squirt-bottle and fill it with a 50/50 mix of water and dish-soap. Spray the bees and the nest. The soapy film will cause them to fall to the ground and suffocate.

 

I believe we move in on mother nature, she just has to put up with the raff....that same solution works on Ants, just less water

 

If you don't want ants to get into your house, draw a line around the outside of your foundation with chalk. They won't cross the chalk line. After four years of doing this, the ant don't even show up any more. A friend told me about this. Or should I say a "former" friend. We had a falling out after he ripped me off. I got even, though. I sneak onto his property at night and rub off the chalk line he drew around the foundation of his house. Then I leave a thin trail of honey leading to his foundation.

He fucked with the wrong friend!!

 

but they do assist in pollination..

 

Not sure what they feed the larva... I've never seen them on the flowers.

 

Been stacking firewood in the woodshed, hot job and yucky spiders...I don't like spiders...

 

I think they feed on little insects .. yeap. thats what the google said. the come and go around my rose of sharron bushes. but not as plenty as the bees.

 

There's some cool looking spiders out there... Big guys and a lot of them this year.

 

105 days till Christmas, the count down starts soon!

 

Can we do the countdown like your boys down, girls up thread?

 

Noooooo, its fifteen weeks and 1 day...you cant go back on Christmas...its coming ready or not..lol

 

Got any of these cool dudes around your place..

I've never even heard of anything like it, until today. It's cool and scary looking at the same time.

BTW, after 1:12 the rest of the video is of him scarfing down a big fly, in case anyone here has a weak stomach.

 

RF: we just found out here one of our cats is pregnant. Yay kittens!

 

Kittens are the best. Are you keeping them? Congratulations!

Mew is getting weaker and weaker here, and not eating or drinking anything. I cannot believe what a skeleton she has become...just fur on bones.... She makes little whimpering cries now, and stays in her corner on one of the kitchen counters, as she cannot seem to use her legs anymore.. She was hanging out there on a bag and pizza cook tray for weeks anyway, so now, I have put a cat bed there for her to lay in. I did not think she would last the night. She will be going to the vets shortly to see if there is anything they can do, but we are not putting her to sleep. We will let her die here, if she makes it that long, and bury her on the property. She is the pet I have had the longest, since 1999 as a kitten in Cooperstown... so it is sad, but I have seen this coming for awhile now, so it is just a sad acceptance.

Moved here in 2008 with 7 heatlhy happy cats....one was old and had to be put to sleep.....I found her as an old cat and adopted her. One disappeared outside...Houdini....Lucky Lou died from illness this January and now Mew is dying. We did get Minxy last year....so after Mew dies, there will be 4 cats here....and I have no plans to get any more right now, unless one finds me, as they sometimes do.
