I think the mice must have heard me. There's been zero activity since I bought the traps. Looks like I didn't have to kill any of them afterall. Strange, that. If they were still here, they would have already gone for the peanut butter. I haven't heard a peep out of them since I put the traps out, and they were making it very obvious they were here when they were around.
The outdoor ant traps aren't working as well as I'd hoped. Those little f****ers are really getting on my nerves. Maybe I just need to give it more time. I really had a bad infestation last year. I'm thinking there are just a ton of them and probably a lot of queens.
Oh well... at least the weed poison seems to have done the trick. I'm going to go buy more and give everything a 2nd dose for good measure.
Do Right, Be Right. :)
It was a good time and I came back in a much better frame of mind. :)Quote:
Yeah. Sometimes you just need a change of scenery for a little reset. I was hoping to do something similar with my time off right now, but it just wasn't in the cards. I'm hoping to go down south to visit my brother soon. Gotta wait until my other bro or my dad can go though.[b/quote]
True enough and I will get to see them again around Christmas this year or into the new year. They have a tripped planned and are going down to the US by train. They have a stop over in Vancouver but when I get to see them will depend on their trains.
Sorry you didn't get your little trip. Hope you can work something out. We all need a break sometimes.Quote:
Glad your mouse problem seems solved. On that one I wouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth.
Ants sound more difficult. And time could be what that problem needs.
No more weeds is a good thing too. But even dosing them, you know that they will come back.
Well the mice problem is solved.... for now. I'm actually quite happy they moved on. I don't know what was here that attracted them this time, but it seems they're gone now and I didn't have to kill any of them this time. :)
I'm hoping I can at least get the ants to the point where a few traps per season will keep them away. My big problem is that I had all that firewood and other sticks and crap sitting there rotting for so long and I had no idea there was a monster colony there until I removed all of that last year. When I displaced their home, they moved all over my yard and patio and into my house. Shame on me. I know better now, but a lot of damage was done.
I'm hoping by next summer I can afford to put some nice stones down in the landscaping. It's just bare dirt around the hastas now, and the weeds are insane every year. I'm getting tired of all this work trying to keep it looking at least like somebody lives here though, so I might just get mulch instead.
Do Right, Be Right. :)
Well, the mice I would guess found a lot of food around your place for a bit. That's probably all it was.
No wonder the ants! Wood piles like that can attract ants, termites and maybe even the mice.
I hope you can get things in better shape next year. Will make for a nicer home for you. :)

Aaaaarrrggghhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My landlady is going to make my head explode with her idiocy. This time it is the fact that her mother can smell me cooking sausages. OMG! So now if I do that I have to open the door or a window.
Also I am not suppose to go grocery shopping. They see me leaving with a bag sometimes.
She also asked if I take food to someone because of all the cooking I do. Unlike them I have to eat as I have a blood sugar condition. Also that is none of her freaking business.
Godam people.

Don't let them boss you around Brenda. There are no laws against cooking food in your apartment or bringing a bag outside with you. They can kiss your ass. I'd love to see the police's reaction to a call on either of those things.
You're right, it's none of their gorram business. None of it.
How long until you can move to the better place? Isn't that day coming soon?
Do Right, Be Right. :)

Not going to. Have to pick up a couple of things today as I don't want to do it on Monday.
I don't know. Have to find a place on my own because I can't get any help from any agency because I'm not old enough or whatever their boxes say.
Later Jack. Heading out for a walk.

Little over 3 hours and 15minutes till I have to change the batteries in my hearing aids for tomorrow.

Dang about the landlady. I agree with Jack. Do what you want. Let them call the police. But I also agree with you. You need to find a better place. I think yours might be making you sick.
How are the hearing aids going? Well, I hope.
SECOND is a troll because it constantly misrepresents what people post, fails to address their actual positions, and resorts to personal attacks when its brain isn't working (which is most of the time).

I am. This place definitely isn't helping my depression any. Though I have a better handle on it than I did.
This place does aggravate my allergies for sure.
Batteries changed and the aids are helping. Just a pain to remember to change the batteries sometimes. I almost forgot tonight. Just did them a couple of minutes ago.
Discovered that I can't use them with a headset. Hurts my ears.

If the hearing aids are helping you hear, then yay!!! That's one thing going better than before.
Hope you have a good night.

Any chance you could pick up a carbon monoxide detector if you don't have one?
I'm not saying that you have a memory problem. We all forget things. But I saw a video about some Reddit "mysteries" recently where this guy was finding post it notes around his apartment in his own handwriting that he had no recollection of writing. He was actually starting to freak out that he had developed a split personality disorder.
Somebody there recommended that he get a carbon monoxide detector and he ended up having something like over 100 ppm of CO2 in his apartment. Whatever the number was, it was deadly levels and it was trashing his memory.
I wouldn't worry much about it if remembering stuff generally isn't a big deal for you, but it's something to consider investing in.
As for getting out of that place into real government housing, I think you need to keep pushing on it. Everything I was reading back when I looked into it said you have every right to do it this year. If you don't get anywhere with one person, call back and talk to another person. If nobody there is willing to help you, get in contact with your local politicians. If you still don't get anywhere, take it to the media. At that point, I'd also start taking pictures and video of the living space you have right now with emphasis on the mold and structural problems, and let whoever you're in contact with at the media know that the Government not doing their job is risking your health and your life by doing so.
Do Right, Be Right. :)
