| Well, until I redo my fencing, it's not an issue anyway, really. But I've been awfully tempted. Carol, BTW - sheep dung is about the only animal smell I cannot stand. It is *nasty*. In the end, only kindness matters. Art and Artists & The Reading Room http://cubits.org/thereadingroom/ |

rancid lanolin, urea, and poop... yummy.  I have little confidence in any enterprise or business or investment that promises dividends only after the death of the stockholders. |

Ya, if you want something to pet and cuddle, sheep ain't it!  Confidence is that feeling you have right before you do something really stupid. |

| Of course, now you can rent-a-goat for weed-eating in some cities... the shepherd supplies the goats & electric fence. You could see if someone in your area is up for that.

| I've seen the rent a goat concept....very clever!!!! Leap. The net will appear. |
|
|||
| You would think so - there's tons of goats in this area. In the end, only kindness matters. Art and Artists & The Reading Room http://cubits.org/thereadingroom/ |

| OK... If I were dictator for day, I'd outlaw record-breaking heat temperatures here at the end of September. Hey, I'm sure it would work as well as SB1070! And most of the other nonsensical laws passed by 'our' lawmakers. I say 'ours' because, of course, they're really just shills for mega corporations.

I'd outlaw bugs! Stink bugs, wasps, hornets, yellowjackets, ants, flies, mosquitos, aphids, whiteflies...all of 'em! I don't care what niche in the ecology they fill!  Confidence is that feeling you have right before you do something really stupid. |
|

Well, I'd at least support you on the mosquito issue. Hate, hate, hate 'em.  Alma In matters of style, swim with the current; in matters of principle, stand like a rock. – Thomas Jefferson |

| I would make all the school kids go out and dig up their playgrounds and make gardens and EAT what they grow!!! Leap. The net will appear. |

Carol, I did that once. (I didn't have to make them; everyone was excited to do it.) It was a beautiful garden - until the school decided to erect a building right on top of it.  Alma In matters of style, swim with the current; in matters of principle, stand like a rock. – Thomas Jefferson |

| And that's called "progress," right? Confidence is that feeling you have right before you do something really stupid. |

| I just want a coffee maker that really does stop dripping when you pull the pot out. Is that so much to ask??? In the end, only kindness matters. Art and Artists & The Reading Room http://cubits.org/thereadingroom/ |
|

| And I'd like one that doesn't drip all over the counter when you pour the coffee! Alma In matters of style, swim with the current; in matters of principle, stand like a rock. – Thomas Jefferson |

| Alma...you have mosquitos in AZ? Leap. The net will appear. |

| OMG, Carol, it's like being in Florida! We didn't use to have the blasted little buzzing blood-suckers, but now there are droves of several different types. Take a look. Seven people have died of WNV. http://www.azdhs.gov/phs/oids/pdf/wnv2010.pdf I can't sit outside unless I slather myself with some EO repellant.

And who said there is no climate change????  I think there is always a serpent in paradise...and here it is the mozzie. There are 4 different ones...and they come out at different times of the day. After 3p.m. I stay indoors...the afternoon bugger is immune to repellent and a real bother. Actually, I don't get welts, but I get momentary itches that drive me bonkers...then they go away. Husband Bob is NEVER bothered by them.... Have you found an organic repellent that works? I have tried all the local ones (Bob threatened to divorce me if I continued to wear one....) but OFF is the only one that REALLY works.. I will probably die with three heads and no fingers...but in the meantime....no bites!!!  Leap. The net will appear. |

| I've tried the garlic method, Skin-so-soft unfortunately makes me gag ... what else is there? In the end, only kindness matters. Art and Artists & The Reading Room http://cubits.org/thereadingroom/ |

| Sorry - you said organic and I don't think SSSoft is... In the end, only kindness matters. Art and Artists & The Reading Room http://cubits.org/thereadingroom/ |
