magidthe neighbors put in a new patio last fall, and now i'm seeing what it means for me: less green visible from my porch :-(
i hate that there are ants invading my place right now. for me, it's worse than mice, by far, i think because we had ants when i was growing up. the exterminator would come every so often, spray stuff that smelled awful and was probably toxic. blech.
i finished the curried cauliflower improv from last night, the last bit with some eggs poached in it. yum. i'm still reveling in the cooking power.
oh, dang - i have to get one of those egg-stractor things (i wonder if pearl art has them? hopefully i'll remember to call.) so i can save the shells for cthulhia.
from saturday's gaming: someone mentioned there's an online translator into swedish chef. someone else said there's a translator for mr. t-speak (from the a-team; i assume he doesn't talk like that outside the show). so... what about putting something through both translators, one after the other? would it make a difference which was first? (are they commutative?) alas, i am too lazy to try to find the actual urls.
accomplishments of the day: finished state taxes, therapy, a chapter of index checking, paid condo fees for the year, boggle playing... hmmmm. i think i need to do something useful tonight...

Date: 2002-04-16 04:53 pm (UTC)How to get rid of ants
Date: 2002-04-16 05:47 pm (UTC)It works very quickly. I liberally sprinkled it along an indoor ant path and dozens of the ants were dead in just a few hours. They didn't come back. *evil grin* I found the stuff packaged as a flea powder for dogs :) Couldn't find it in unadulterated form anywhere else. I will see if I can find what's left and bring it by - I don't know how long it keeps . .

Or looking on Google under "swedish chef translation".
