Hi friends,

I have got these bugs that look like ants with wings around my house. They also look like the dragon flies when I popped out my head and see through the windows in the evening.

A bug swept in near my laptop and hummed so loud killing the silence and so I stretched my hand to banish it but... wheeezz! wheezzzi... it flew in lightning speed for fear of DEAD and perched on my window panes, I gave another hit and it perched on my curtain this time, and each time I tried to hit, it escaped on the bed-edge, drawer, mirror frame, shelves and on the WALL!

ONLY to remind me that I am like this bug! I AM THIS BUG!

HAVING

The sense to escape from dying

HAVING

The sense of fear of failure

And the conundrums of Google Analytics and SEOs and No Traffic Brain Storming Sessions.

Oh! How many phakacha8 bugs are flying around with wings are flying bugs at Wealthy Affiliate University?

Ophoo... Hey!

Holy Cow!

And hallelujah,

Not Giving up till we've got the Flight.

Awesome, Just Awesome! First, I would jump on the red carpet with the mouse. We shall rise to the top.
Bless you and Your awesome Imagination.
Sam and Deb

I know you can be annoying, but swat you? never!

I also have a lot of flying ants at this time of the year. Always around Xmas and they fly into my computer, between the keys and die all around my desk. A constant clean up which I don't enjoy.

It is so hot and humid here right now I've even resorted to sitting here with my hair wet and dripping just to keep cool.

Sorry you poor chilled people in other parts of the world. Both extremes suck.

What do I want for Xmas? an air conditioner that runs electric free.
Bye for now,
Jae

Hey,hey Jae,
You shot me down with your words. And the best part is the two extremes that suck.

Two opposite sides in magnets also attract. I wish you have the air conditioner that runs free electricity.

Merry X-mas to you.

Love the analogy, Phomrong! I got a good chuckle out of this one. Keep flying, my friend!

Anita

Hey, you live in NOVA and probably have mice. Follow my instructions below. lol Peace Miss Anita! :-)

I have a cat for that! :-)

Haha.. chuckling is a good anodyne for health. keep it up Anita.

Thank you

Now your meese have reached Nova, LOL!

Yes, it is!

My cats are WAY too lazy! Here is Figaro...snoozing as usual! And the blue ball in the background is my exercise partner...keeps my abs and back tight! Peace y'all. :-)

Don't encourage her, she'll just pick on me! haha All in good fun, Miss Anita is a nice person! I am blessed to consider her a friend! :-)

LOL

Yes, yes. She is a helpful one and so active. Wonder how she manages to influence me in influencing you.

Great friendship never breathes slower. Kookoo!

I adopted Bigfoot George, who has 6 toes on each front foot, from a friend that HE adopted! And, like Anita, I got him because I had mice. When you live in the woods, it's a fact of life!

So far, the score is George 5, meese 0. He is a fabulous hunter...catches chipmunks and brings them on the porch to show "Mama" what a good boy he is. Then he eats the entire thing, which is too big for one meal, and I don't need to go into the gross details of what happens next!

I started taking them away from him, so now he doesn't show off to Mama any more. When I was cleaning up behind my pile of firewood, I discovered 2 squirrel tails...guess he doesn't eat those!

Happy New Year, Bob and kitties from Carol and Bigfoot George!

Oh, we never had a mouse problem where I live, though I don't doubt that there are areas where I live that do have them (closer in towards DC).

We got Aura because we wanted to teach Dane how to be around animals (and because we missed having one). I was just supposing what she would do with one. She's dying to get to the chipmunks and squirrels outside, but she is afraid of the outside.

I'm sure if she ever did get ahold of one, we would know it. She'd either parade around the house with the thing in her mouth or we'd be cleaning up what she leaves behind after trying to eat one.

I had a Maine Coon once before I moved up here who would get out (I never figured out how) and would force his way into my roommate's bedroom window and leave it on her bed (while she was in it). She would scream and holler and carry on for an hour. He tried leaving me one and I just patted him on the head and threw it away. He was obviously going for her reaction.

I had 2 cats prior to George that I adopted from my vet. After my son's 14 year old cat died, I told myself "no more critters". About six weeks later, I was on the way to the bank, and my vet's office had a sign that read "Kittens for Adoptions" on its marquee. Told myself I was just going in to take a look at them. Yeah, right! They were so cute I couldn't leave them there...littler mates that I didn't have the heart to separate. So Sam E. Snuggles and Sass A. Fras came to live with me. Sassy caught a mouse and gave me the same treatment that your room mate got...brought it in to bed to show me. Luckily, she still had it in her mouth, and I got her off me before she dropped it on me! Ah the joys of pet parenthood! Carol

Aura rules this house now and has us all bending to her will. Such is a cat!

I use a flamethrower on the wasps. And I can teach you to build a redneck mousetrap if you ever need one. lol :-)

Great my friend. I would love that.

Ok, here goes.
1) Get a 5 gallon bucket and a dowel rod longer than the width of the bucket.
2) Drill a hole on opposite sides of the bucket large enough to slide the dowel rod through.
3) You will need the cardboard middle section from a roll of paper towels.
4) Begin to insert the dowel rod, through one hole in the bucket, thread it through the paper towel cardboard, and through the hole on the other side of the bucket.
5) Smear peanut butter on the cardboard, and put water in the bucket - about halfway will do.
6) Place the bucket somewhere that mice are entering your home, and every morning you will need to dump out the drowned mice and add fresh water.

Mice dead, problem solved, and no getting your fingers snapped by a standard snap trap! Redneck ingenuity at its finest! lol :-)

Haha.. what a fun going between the lines of your demo.

But Holy Cow! that makes the mice drop dead and problems solved,

fantastic my friend. :)

I used to live on a farm and placed them in the garage, worked like a charm! haha Now I live in a 3rd floor condo at the beach, so thankfully no more mice. :-)

I hate those meeses. :)

They stink and yet, your problem gets diverted in the Condo 3rd floor beyond the townhouse and miles away from the farm you used before.

Congrats!

I have a cat that leaves no evidence (if they were ever here to begin with). I actually think that they see her sitting in the window and run away as fast as they can. (She's a big cat!)

OK, I'll bite. What's a redneck mousetrap?

HaHa ok so here goes Miss Carol, but remember, you asked! lol

1) Take a 5 gallon bucket, drill a 1/4 inch hole on either side.
2) Thread a 1/4 inch dowel through that hole, toward the other hole, while placing a cardboard paper towel center in the middle.
3) Once the dowel is placed through the paper towel center and into the other side, smear peanut butter onto the paper towel cardboard center,
4) Fill bucket halfway with water. Place toward mouse entrance.
5) Watch mice drown and die and dump into nearby field (or neighbor's yard) daily.

Better than the standard snap traps. It definitely works, and it teaches mice to swim if they are so inclined. lol :-)

Guess we're both suckers, Anita!!

That's a bit hard to do when it's inside the house! I think my cat and dog would spill the bucket to get at the peanut butter! Then I'd have dead mice PLUS a mess to clean up!! Guess I'm not a redneck, even if I do live in the woods on a mountain!

See SurfsideBob's description in the comments.

He is such a staunch narrator perplexing everybody with his intrigues.

Thank him for that and no worries!

Cold weather kills bugs. Good luck on slaying your bugs. Jay

Haaha... that's it, that's it my friend.

I killed the bug and proceed towards a heaven of hell.

thanks for the comment buddy.

Outsmart them Phomrong...

Yey, yey, Big Loes.

You are my icon. A great model to emulate.

Thanks for your comment.

"...We would zig zag our way through the boredom and pain
Occasionally glancing up through the rain
Wondering which of the buggers to blame
And watching for pigs on the wing..."

- Pigs On The Wing (Part One): Pink Floyd

:)

Haha... I like that.
Pigs on the wing by Pink Floyd

Great post and analogy of many of us here at WA.
With Grace and Gratitude
Karen

Haha.. Memorylaneuk,
You shot me down.

Thanks for the comment

First of all, you used my favorite word...conundrum! Keep flying, my friend.

All the best,
Sue

Haha... ContentBySue,
Thanks for that and glad I used your favorite word.
Cheers!

I thought you were talking about minidrones at first! Good post Phak!

Haha. Mkearns. Thanks for the comment. You can take it as minidrones too, whatever.
