    I used to douse slugs with salt. But someone told me that they could slime their way out of it and survive. Then I tried beer traps. They LOVE beer and will drown in it, but the cleanup is gross. Then I used Corry's slug bait but didn't want to accidentally poison birds. So now I use sluggo Which works very well, it's just more pricey than I'd like.

    OMG These creepy, crawlly things are making me itchy I feel like I was reading nature's top villians. We see a fly and get all get it out. We do have spider and icky stuff, but not like u guys and my cat catches most of the flies and some other little ones, so she's useful tht way. All of a sudden it's Friday night. WTF happened to this week I feel like it didn't happen--OH well it did happen. Was going out (maybe )tonite but changed my mind my GFs were going out to dinner but not tonite-

    I didn't leave the house today and my DD said it's a  little humid--it's been raining on and off. Oh well. Oh chit I'm so boring today---I sent my # to the Governors staff and no one has called me, they just got it today tho--I knew they's ignore this but I'll be back to them on Monday--my usual day hahaha--they thought they'd get rid o me. Not that easy.

    Gumby, Fairy lamps started from around 1880 till around 1920. They were restarted around the 60's/70's maybe 50's. It a two piece candle. AKA a hurricane, there all types. My favorites are the ones with the most facets. They SPARKLE AND TWINKLE. Ebay has allot Keyword--Fairy candles. Indianna glass seems to have produced allot 30-40(50) years ago. That's why they are coming on the Market right now. The stuff from folks breaking up there homes and downsizing, is coming into the 2ndary market. Thrifts, garage sales, auctions. Stuff from older than that can be had, but lots of factors affecting that. The 50-60's colors and styles are collectible because of price. Sorry off on a ramble. SHELLS woo-Hoo! I did decided to change that situation I mentioned. HMMMMM only 3 little puffies

    CkickieD Chemo Drugs are my weakest suit(bridge type). But That much numbness seems out of range. Does doc and Nurse say anything unusual???????If you didn't tell them I think someone should know. No clue if it's a tonite call or not.?

    CALLING ALL NURSES--JULIA, LMG,SHELLS,STACEY, BEATMOM-----OR ANYONE WHERE DOES THIS FALL IN S/S RANGE????????????? SASSY

    Didnt mention it yet to Onc...it seems to be a common se of some chemo drugs (I'm on TCH) at least its in my cancer binder they gave me...little amounts of the chemo drugs leak out of capillaries and the fingers and toes are the first to get hit.

    Sassy - No we have DirecTV. I'll probably put Tootsie on. It's on Encore. I've never gotten into NCIS,Bones,CSI any of those. Have watched many a House episode with DH who loves it - go figure - about as non-medical a person as you could get. He's watching Elizabeth the Golden Age on The Movie Channel.

    Garden - Miss Chevy has a fairy garden and Miss Sassy sent her a fairy lamp for it. Not sure what color. They are also called fairy candles. Also a Fairy Lamp Club.

    Cami - I'm with you. Where did July go? Just noticed last night how much earlier it's getting dark.

    ChickaD and Sassy - chemo is not my area personal or prof. but we can ask some questions. Chickie - When did it start/worsen, where and it is progressing or has it stabilized? Any change in regimen? Are you well hydrated? All elimination functioning as well as it usually does?

    What other questions can I bug you with? Detective Goatsy here.

    cHICKIE, i CALLED THE PHARMACIST AT MY OLD HOSPITAL. (Sorry about the caps)

    The symptoms I'm concerned about are the tongue and lips. Call your doc. If you feel ascratchiness in the throat or start to have shortness of breath CALl EMS. Until your doc says this can be an accepted response. You may be having an allergic response.

    Sassy - me too with the tongue/lips. Toes I would expect, fingers maybe. Tongue/lips too close to oral problems for my liking. I would think I would call too. Vomiting more? Do you have adeq. antinausea meds?

    Down the shore our mosquitoes are big enough to land at the Cape May County airport......



    Had a groundhog in my backyard last week.....in Pa......hey, maybe it was Pauxatawany Phil......Pa's famous groundhog.........nah.......



    I also get Fox, Raccoons, Possums, Owls, Rabbits, Squirrels, Chipmunks, and Skunks......I live right behind a Historic place called.....Collenbrook Farm........and yes I also have a brook behind my house......sorry you asked.....now I will STFU, and go to the shore for the weekend...catch you when I get there.....

    We be on it ladies! That's what we're here for even if it isn't STFU moment.

    Chickie - Hoping he says no problemo, but he needs to know. It is the weekend and you know how getting anyone on weekend is. Better to nip it in the bud - so to speak.

    Talked with Chickie, new onset two days ago, getting worse, Circamorhal(spelling way off) & nasal numbness and tingling. She's calling her doc, and then she'll call back.  Gave her other s/s's to watch and when to call EMS. Docs gotta say this is in normal range.

    Hey Chickie there you are. Cirrcamorhal is a fancy word for around the mouth. Cirrcamorhal numbness and tingling inclusive of the nose can be a sign of an allergic reaction. The pharmacist couldn't find anything in her sources that identified n/t around the mouth and nose with your drugs. So, this a safety call that your making.

    Ducky I have more little house spiders here than in city. You're right under every table if I don't watch it. Yes, skunks - had one living under my hay shed. I think DH finally discouraged him. Armadillos, possums, a few racoons, usual squirrels. Ducky enjoy the shore. Sounds like your time there has improved some lately.

    Sassy - I'm glad we've been on here talking. Yee Gads.

    Garden - Fairy lamps are made for candles. I know they are called fairy candles but DM always called them fairy lamps. Oddly enough I've never seen one with a candle lit in it. DM didn't collect them just sold them.

    Squishy and detective goats - love it. Thanks for making me laugh! Squishy, your grandkids sound adorable. Can I have one? I'm still waiting on mine.



    Chickie - scary stuff and don't let the vomiting and diahhrea get out if control. Doc needs to know that also.



    SlugTalk - tune in every Friday evening on BCO!

    I got bit by a brown recluse when I was in my 20s. That was the grossest thing Ive ever had.  and hurt like hell too. Heres a little Jordan story for you. Had him for dinner last night and while he was here, he broke a treasured night light by accident. He felt really bad and kept saying how sorry he was. On the way home he was really quiet, and finally said, Grammy, I am so sorry about your night bright, it was an accident. I said I know Baby. hes quiet for another minute and then says, I wont tell  my mom about this...I laughed and said I wouldnt either...
