Rush Cocky Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 QUOTE (Xanadu93 @ Jun 15 2010, 01:08 AM) And then I'll basically spend July traveling (Detroit, Toronto, Raleigh, Blacksburg, and maybe Richmond) Yeah, but look at the bright side......all those places are going to feel like a refrigerator compared to Augusta this summer.

Janie Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 (edited) The yard waste bin is full so I've had to put grass clippings in recyclable brown bags. All is stored in the garage and it is stinking to high happy hell. The stuff won't be picked up until Friday morning. I'm gagging. Hardcore gagging. The smell is awful. It's permeating through the house. Edited June 15, 2010 by Janie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking of which, my neighbor in back of me "recycles" his yard waste into the protected wet land that is in back of both our homes. He has thrown some sort of weed/grass back there that is taking over a huge chunk of area and has been creeping into our backyard. I'm having a heck of time getting rid of it. I'm thinking of reporting him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm surprised it's not more popular in Seattle. You are basically putting all that stuff in an enclosed bin, and mixed in the right proportions and with enough water, you end up starting a reaction that breaks down all that stuff into rich black dirt.

Rush Cocky Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 Here's a link for some more information Janie: http://www.composting101.com/ The finished product by the way should be odorless, after all the microbes have done their thing. It's really not that difficult at all to set up, I used to do it at my old house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya_Big_Tree Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 Ok these mosquitoes really need to f**k off and leave me alone! My first night here I went on a bike ride and got bit 6 times in the same spot, I'm thinking it was the same one cause the bites were so close together. Got bit a few more times on the mountain climb the other day and last night I got devoured out on the lake in the boat. DEATH TO ALL BLOODSUCKERS!!! Other than that... I'm really loving it here.

GhostGirl Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 Sneaking around, up early, trying to get ready for work...and Stephen wakes up at 6:40... Now I have to leave for work and worry all day that he'll be upset because I left him. If I can get out the door before he wakes up, he's okay...so this starts the day off badly. I hate this.

We have two kitties and they stay indoors. Growing up we had outdoor kitties and never again. They were always bringing home "gifts", always chewed up to bits because of fights, they would disappear for days sometimes, come back with (non-TRF) ticks and their fur was always nasty because of stuff they would roll around in. Right now we live in an area where there are a lot of coyote and whenever a new family moves in and they have an outdoor cat, within days there's a "missing" note posted around. We live right next to a wetland and I've heard my fair share of coyote getting those kitties. Not pretty. I'm in a mood today. There's so much that I need to get done around the house and yard and there's never time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Janie Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 When I'm running errands with an erratic toddler stomping and yelling all over the place and holding an infant the size of a small moose in his car seat who's blathering at the top of his lungs, with my hair as frazzled as my nerves and constantly giving you that look while hollering at my neurotic toddler to stay close to me, please don't ask me about my day, or if I want to apply for a credit card to your store so I can save 10% (about $3.50) on today's purchase. Just concentrate on doing whatever it is you need to do to get me out of that store while an ounce of sanity is still in me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xanadu93 Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 It didn't piss me off, rather it's made me a little uneasy... but I can't find my cell phone. I've tried calling it, but it's on vibrate and ring so I'd hear it going off. I went to a baseball game tonight with a friend, and I'm pretty sure that it just slid out of my pocket either on the way to the game or on the way home. I would have heard it hitting the ground, so I don't believe that it fell out while I was watching the game. I've left him a message on Facebook asking him to please look for it when he's able to, and to tell me whether or not he found it so I'll check back when he responds. By the way... I can easily live without my phone. The thing is, I'm about to get a new iPhone from my grandparents, and I was planning on giving this one to my mom so that she can give hers to my dad. That, and the fact that I kind of need the phone until I get the new one in case of an emergency, is what's making me nervous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mara Posted June 19, 2010 Author Share Posted June 19, 2010 I've had it with these effing skylights. We have two, and even though they're meant to be low-E (meaning they aren't supposed to let a lot of heat through), they are miserable to live with during the summer. I feel like an ant under a magnifying glass when I'm in the kitchen. I'm hitting Home Depot today and covering these bitches for the rest of the summer. From the inside - and it won't be tacky.
