Trifioso

hello friends. waiting for primo to arrive to help me with yard slavery. A quick babble to get the mind sharp

10:00 am

hokie carla

Hey, y'all! Only 4 to go.

10:00 am

Trifioso

wow hokie!

10:00 am

Trifioso

you are all business today!

10:01 am

Trifioso

went out to mow the side yard, could not have been out there for more than 20 minutes. Number of deer ticks on me? Two. Gonna be a BAD season for the little buggers

10:02 am

hokie carla

I've started hiding the chat to see how I can do on my own (with the list after a while)

10:02 am

hokie carla

omg, hope you got all the ticks. I hate ticks.

10:03 am

Trifioso

chat is such fun though.....well, sometimes - i get your point.

10:03 am

Trifioso

I HATE ticks hokie. They really spoil my time outside.

10:03 am

hokie carla

I found one crawling on my dog's head last weekend. I thought it was dirt and picked it off, then it made a beeline up my hand and I was freaking out.

10:04 am

Trifioso

there is a company around here that will come spray the crap out of a yard, to kill ticks, but I am leery of such a thing - what else are they killing off?

10:04 am

hokie carla

We get ours sprayed monthly for mosquitos. It's so worth it. I don't think it helps with the ticks but that would be awesome.

10:05 am

Trifioso

all those chemicals dont appeal to me

10:05 am

Trifioso

i grow food out there. I dont' want all those chemicals on my food

10:06 am

Trifioso

you are also a GOOD deal south of me, so I am sure the skeeter population there is a much bigger problem.

10:06 am

hokie carla

one time they were spraying our deck garden (we have a bunch of planters on the deck) and my husband complained. They claimed it was fine but we told them not to do it again.

10:06 am

hokie carla

yes, the skeeters are horrible here and we have a pool so we want to be able to sit out there.

10:07 am

Trifioso

I try to be zen about it - they have their space, I have mine. Having had two serious bouts with Lyme thus far, I am not eager to go through that again.

10:07 am

hokie carla

ugh

10:07 am

Trifioso

sigh three. just found another one creeping up my ankle. what a bummer

10:07 am

hokie carla

well, I found 1 clue in the chat. down to 3 left. going to look them up. :D

10:08 am

hokie carla

horrible

10:09 am

hokie carla

at least you are catching them before the plant their bloodsuckers in

10:10 am

hokie carla

ok, one of the ones I had to look up was a plural that I just couldn't see because it was going in the other direction from where I was seeing the singular.

10:13 am

hokie carla

AYKM on that mu7. well, at least I got fireworks! now I need to get busy. hope you find all the ticks, trif.

1:07 pm

rururocks

i hope it alleviates some of your pain.. i'm very pro pot for medicinal use.. although I don't smoke it myself

1:07 pm

Judi

Would prefere not to smoke it, but it's my only option until my state makes edibles, liquids, etc. approved for use.

1:12 pm

Judi

A wee buzzed, but can still type... for now.

1:13 pm

rururocks

1:18 pm

MollyL

Oh this is a BIG acronym place. But since I prefer typing out whole, actual words, I have never bothered to learn what they all mean.

1:24 pm

hokie carla

FWIW I had to learn them all at one time too

1:30 pm

hokie carla

FTR, I don't mind typing out words either. OTOH, using acronyms makes my chat posts shorter

I'm so old fashioned. I just write out an entire word.

3:16 pm

Deeha

I'm so old fashioned I put all the punctuation in too!!

3:26 pm

MollyL

That reminds me of this, which illustrates the omission of punctuation.
Let's eat, Grandma.
Let's eat Grandma.

3:34 pm

Deeha

or the classic eats shoots and leaves

4:04 pm

MollyL

For those who don't know it:
A panda walks into a café. He orders a sandwich, eats it, then draws a gun and proceeds to fire it at the other patrons.

"Why?" asks the confused, surviving waiter amidst the carnage, as the panda makes towards the exit. The panda produces a badly punctuated wildlife manual and tosses it over his shoulder.

"Well, I'm a panda," he says. "Look it up."

The waiter turns to the relevant entry in the manual and, sure enough, finds an explanation. "Panda. Large black-and-white bear-like mammal, native to China. Eats, shoots and leaves."

6:01 pm

java2

I'm a retired technical writer. Punctuation, and careful selection and placement of words all matter. Would you rather have a hot cup of coffee, or a cup of hot coffee?
