My Dog is a Killer
I am at my wit's end. My sweet, sweet mutt, Sparky, is a Killer. Nothing in my yard is safe (only cats). Last week a squirrel, Saturday a possum, and yesterday a blue jay. I cannot get her to stop killing "critters." She is the kindest, nicest, most gentle dog, but oh man, when it comes to wild-life, she can't stop herself. She sneaks up on them like a bird dog (front leg bent) and creeps along stealthily. I put extra tags on her collar for jingly noises so the critters would stand a better chance, but she still is so fast that she gets them. We had a long talk last night, I hope she now understands, but this is driving me nuts. The smell from my trash can filled with all of the carcasses is horrible... trash pick up in the morning, thank goodness. Any suggestions? Help!
Burt's Bees
I've been wearing a Burt's Bees lip product. It is moisturizing, has good color and is fairly sheer, and yet stays put. It is minty also.
I'm scared of BEES. -sm
One or two, I can sort of deal with, as long as I'm not in close quarters with them, such as in the car. But more than 2 or 3? I'm outta' there! Large numbers of any bug or insect creep me out. I'm also scared of sharks, seaweed and jellyfish.
I'm not scared of mountain lions, (though I have yet to meet one face-to-face). I would really like to see one someday while hiking. (At least I know not to run!) I'm not afraid of doing things alone, like long drives, flying, or traveling to other countries. In fact I prefer it that way.
I can deal with spiders. Don't like 'em but I used to live in a place that reminded me of the movie "Arachnophobia", so I learned how to get rid of them and prevent their return by targeting the nests outside the house. Nowadays I have a cat that spends her days hunting them, so I rarely see one (at least alive) anymore.
Then where is the killer? Everyone, except possibly you and 13 other people sm
know he did it and so no one is looking for this horrific, terrible person out there - why haven't there been others in that area after they were killed?
We use Terro Ant Killer products, you get buy at WM or local Co-Op. nm

Hibh blood pressure is a killer if not under control
My husband was on dialysis for nothing more than elevated blood pressure that was not under control, killed his kidneys. If not controlled on medications you have now, should get under better control and also do things to help it as well, that being avoiding as much salt as possible in the diet, weight loss to lower blood pressure if overweight, anything to get it under control.
I used to love spelling bees too. However, I went to a Catholic school and......
they were required, just like learning the catechism. LOL. I have a TON of holy cards from my grade school years. But I'll be darned if I can remember the word I won my last bee with in 8th grade.
I told my son's 6th grade teacher that I was concerned about the fact that they didn't study spelling, or grammar, the old fashioned kind of subject, verb, and object grammer. Those of you who are in your 50's and plus will know EXACTLY what I am talking about. But that is a subject for a whole other discussion.
Burt's bees hands down - have a tube everywhere - original, don't like honey

You need a biological odor killer. Found in better hardware stores. Have no
Names are something along those lines, but make sure it has the word biological in it. If you can wash the blanket, put some in the wash water. If it's not washable, then just spray it for a few days in a row while hung up. I got rid of smoke odor in a couch using this stuff. It really works! Fabreze and other name brand odor eaters are not enough to do a complete job. The stuff is pricey, but worth it. Gets rid of skunk, mold smells, vomit, all kinds of funk! You can probably search for these products on line and then see if your local hardware stores or cleaning supply places have them locally. Good luck! nm
