Good Evening Everyone!

Thoughts for all you getting that rain from Lee. We are soggy here in FLA [neighbors chicken coop area under a few inches of water -- they resolved that by dumped wheelbarrel loads of mulch [from when the road tree trimmers were doing the street] so now the chickens are walking above the water. Being 'flat' we have 'sheet flow' flooding which can mean the water flows everywhere at whatever depth the present rain situation is. In actually, here, it is just standing water in the 'lower' areas of our flatness -- and in the case of the neighbors, overflow from their pond. Rusty lost one of his favorite 'wallow' places by a maple tree and there are other areas under an inch or squeshy amount of water all around.

You poor folks up north have uneven ground, so all your water starts running off in a rush, cutting into roads, bridges and finally really overflowing streams and rivers. Please take care up there.

Nancy Too Old 2 Tap if your outside porch doesn't get much rain [and particuarly if there is any floor covering, try using 24 mule team borateen [or boric acid] sprinkled around. That is great at killing fleas where they hid. And if you vacuum it up it keeps killing them in the vacuum and then the trash. [it kills other insects too -- it used to the be old standby for the snowbirds being sprinkled around the house when they would leave. I've dumped it in the carpet [and furniture] in the past during infestations. As a further note, should you 'brave' giving the cats a bath. Use boreteen in the water [you really don't even need to use any type of soap/flea product]. The boreteen kills fleas and is a GREAT for itching [I know this from fire ant and mosquoto bites].

lludwig note I used the full name 24 mule name in honor of the 'two mutes/mules'. And I read it as 'mules' too originally. In fact, I was thinking when I initally read it -- the old 'one dog town' phrase.

jcorn sympathies on the loss of your mother. It is now just over 10 years since my father died.

News -- Ebay has decided to remove the CHATS. They keep changing the actual deadline. Fortunately, Curt [the blessed webmaster] set up this lovely site for us and for a bunch of other boards -- see the side bar. Ebay's reasoning was that their system no longer supported the old Chat boards. But if so, then why are they continually delaying the end of times? Probably no conspiracy theory, just ebay lack of competence even in the wiping out of a whole ebay culture [which will probably not do them any real good]. The old Board Board, though, as you see is pretty much dead. Even a few weeks ago it was still popping along. Very glad you are here.
