Bats are opportunistic feeders so you can't count on them to handle your entire mosquito problem. Worrying about bats as a vector for rabies is pretty silly unless it is endemic in your area and then bats are not the top worry. Whereas West Nile might be more worrisome.

Your statement implies the possibility that 'maybe it wasn't sealed for a reason' which leads me to think wtf!?

There is an interesting 'cheat' going around that has to do with buying 500 or more dollar coins from the mint using your credit card. Buying that many means the shipping is free so you end up with your reward points and your $500. You just have to spend the coins or turn them in. Last time I checked it was still…

That is why I drink coffee/water - the walk to the bathroom gets me up and away from my computer every once in a while (after I quit smoking, I found myself praying to the cathode gods for hours without moving).

Prime rib - drooling begins. We have a freezer full of cow (we bought an 1/8th of a free-range cow last week); it is time to find some flesh to warm.

The main problem with eating just before bedtime is 'reflux'; if esophagal sphincter gets displaced a little (hiatal hernia) food and acid can come back up because that sphincter is not strong enough on its own to prevent reflux, it also needs the help of the diaphragm. So, yeah, eating late at night is not good for…

I have sleep apnea and use the CPAP every night; - what I miss most is my dreaming. When I am off the CPAP, I have dreams that are science fiction-y action-packed adventures. I use to nap on purpose so I could dream. If I do not get my 8 hours of sleep and slow down for even 15 minutes, the adventure begins. When…

How can you never wash something that is all soapy and rinsed almost daily?

Does it work to be real lazy and wrap the soap in yarn then felt it? I have a friend who cards, spins, and knits her wool - it tired me out just watching.

Now I am confused - I thought Bourne/Damon trained in Kali or Filipino Martial arts so where does Krav Maga come from?

A friend of mine made pot-based beer 20 years ago - it was awesome, there was 'earthy' undertones to it but it was damn good beer and a kick like a mule. I'm not sure what it would do to the taste of wine though!?

I get update notices for my 'aurora' version of FF that check for what add-ons it breaks; I click later until the latest update doesn't break them.

Billings is my favorite Montana town - I went to college there and lived there for a couple years after I got out of the service. Loved that place to death but since I left in 1972 most of the people I knew died (mostly from drugs or drug related violence). Did a lot of acid, smoked my first pot - heck I was the…

Have you considered a Roomba - get one of those and it will randomly chase your kitty around.

I have adult ADD and swing from totally flaked-off to tightly focused tunnel vision; I exhaust myself. I juggle when I flake-out and stand and move when I get too focused. I work customer service and really suck at call-handle time - once I start helping someone, I forget everything else.

At my worksite, we have powered desks that rise and lower with the push of a button - it is GREAT!

Where I work, you have to prove that you can handle one of those balls - people (newbs) kept falling off them and hurting themselves. Heh,heh - never saw it happen but I remember my first couple times on one.

I am going to vote for Cron-o-meter also - I created an account after @Slatz_Grobnik's post and was able to get started immediately. It thinks of everything.

The newer McMansions now have a small garage w/door attached to the garage for the ATV toys.

You can make your own garlic salt using the same process which implies you can make your onion salt or any other flavored salt you want.
