Monkey Musing Daily Open Discussion #3 8/24 - 8/29/2007

[mrs. red]

I know the humidity is hard to deal with... but my skin just drinks it up!  I don't mind being 45, just don't want to look like it!!

[Anna]

Some of you may remember my pretty bamboo that I said was invasive.  Klaas said her hubby said I would never get rid of or stop its spread.

Well, I am going to have to go out in the heat and thin it down drastically as a huge flock of birds are now using it for a roost at night.  There are hundreds of them!!!   

And birds carry histoplasmosis, especially in big roosts like this.   Not spelled correctly but maybe Tyler won't see it, lol.  And they are in the Scotties area, too.

So I will have to make the bamboo so it does not touch and support each other, the stalks, so they can't do that. 

Hoping it is true it will only be in the 90's as I dread doing this because of the heat.

Angie,
There is a hot pepper called the Habernera or something like that.  Looks like a nanna pepper but is hotter than a jalapeno!  Bet that is what you had.

Yikes!!!

.

   these were wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy hotter then a jalapeno. I am suprised I haven't grown chest hair yet.. 

[mrs. red]

Hiya Art. Try to stay cool. I am anxiously awaiting Fall. How is SeaMonkey doing? Miss seeing her around here.

Do that at night!  YOu know around 7 or so when it's only 100 degrees... (that's how it was at the family's... I was dying!!! the sun goes down and it gets to oh, 96 or 97)

Do you have a totally new boss? That is great, Mrs Red.
Were you working for family? Or was it a family owned business?
I tried working for my hubby once years ago...fergit it. I was ready to slay him! lol

OH I learned this one... there is a thing called SLUG SALOON... just pour beer in it... and it kills them all... they can't resist the smell .... they came with the house when we bought it a few years ago, but I think they sell them at all garden centers or Ace or walmart.... if not just use old saucers!

I guess there will be no burning leaves here this fall or we will get arrested!  We can't even have a BBQ grill for fear of fires.  Bummer.

But October is my fav month, Art.  Remember that poem we had to learn in school October's Bright Blue Weather?  Cool at night and warm in the days here.

And make sure your dogs don't drink the beer!  The Slug Saloon keeps the dogs out as it has a top with holes big enough for the slugs to go in but the dogs can't get to the beer.
