Sunday, June 27, 2004Dead bugs lying around the house...how to get rid of them quickly!No, I'm not insane but this really is an insane idea that works! Every summer when the bugs start getting into the house- gnats, ants, flies, bees, crickets, spiders, etc, etc- my hubby likes to kill the bugs and let them lie where they die so that I know he has been a good boy and has gone around...

Why is it that when I put something away, I can almost always remember where I put it? Maybe it's because I group things together or maybe because I try to put it close to where I will need it. Or maybe I just have a good memory. So why is it that my hubby decided to clean up the garage while I...

It sure is a difficult thing...to remember who is doing what and on which day. Plus, I began to hate looking at the little day planner because I had to dig it out (after I remembered which purse I left it in), then I had to flip through the pages...

This is a common problem with many people I know. The worst part is that my son will leave his shoes in the entrance way and smell it up-PU.

Every year he tries to bring me something from my dad's stock of plants or even from his own.

In fact, she was downright ticked...she doesn't have too many pairs that she likes to wear and I really did melt the whole left cheek...the cheek of me... Anyway, the moral of this story is either #1 make sure the...

And I never had to buy a mildew stain remover because I never had mildew. aND i COULD BOIL MY WATER ON THE STOVE WITHOUT WORRYING ABOUT SCUM...
