yep, chewable air all around tonight.
so there was a HUGE slug in the basement.
bull slug, i guess you'd call it.
about 6" long and thick, munching on a concrete mushroom.
(i swear i'm not making this up!)
the next part here ain't for the squeamish...
first i salted it, but it kept moving.
so i poured some "air dry" powder on it.
sucker wasn't giving up, so i poured some bleach on it.
still wrigglin'!
so i added the piece of resistance: LIQUID PLUMR
i gave that slug what-fer.
feel free to follow these steps next time u need to slay a slug...
Christ! Why not just leave it alone? Or put it outside?
(frig -- should've used a smaller font...)
Don't worry, I won't hold it against you.
i kill the big bugs and the big slugs.
(gonna go put that on my resume...)
You could become the exterminator (said with best govinator accent)
What, you people don't enjoy this humidity? I LOVE IT!
This saturday, walking back from the bar at 2:00 AM, it was so perfectly muggy and right at the edge of rain that it kept starting to turn into mist, and then it would stop and then it would start misting again...it felt like a rainforest...it was in that perfect sweet spot of humidity that I love so much.
Humidity is lovely so long as the temperature is under 70.
region, next time just try plain beer. gets em good and they go easy...
Or diatomacious earth--it rips out their little guts.
Up until the last few days, the humidity has been hovering between 7 and 9. Since rain clouds have been coming through, spitting a little rain here and there, the humidity has risen to 27 and this afternoon it was all the way up to 70!!! We with a swamp cooler get sticky and miserable and we don't have an air conditioner as back up. Still, the swamper is fine 99% of the time and lots cheaper than A/C.
Why does Sally want to cuddle when it's so hot? Her warm, furry little body generates even more heat.

hmmm. thanx, i'll give it try...
Thank you for killing the big scary slugeroonie. <blech>
Heat index supposed to hit 100 today, with the start of a three-day heat wave, too. A/C is cranked.
Diane - stop bragging.... what I wouldn't do for 9% humidity right now.....
the wall of heat that hit me as i walked out of my office this evening was amazingly oppressive...
Sorry k, sometimes I just can't help myself or what comes out of my mouth or keyboard, hee, hee. Besides, I'm entitled having lived in Connecticut for 27 years.
RP - I hit that same wall..... several times. I spent a large portion of today in my A/Cd car. I have no gas now.
Diane - I know, I know......
Still enjoying it immensely...I love air that you can actually eat with a spoon.
I feel like I'm being squashed and suffocated.
i'd be enjoying it a lot more if i didn't have to go to work.
i'm a sweaty mess by the time i get to my desk in the mornings...
we get some relief today -- 90, but they claim it'll be less humid...
