    Guess which state has the most people killed by alligators?

    I wonder which state has the most people killed by bears? It isn't Arkansas because their latest bear attack was the first one this century. https://www.foxnews.com/us/arkansas-man-72-mauled-70-pound-bear-hospitalized-extensive-injuries?msockid=395aa26e672363993b3fb40e665662e4

    Guess which state has the most people killed by alligators?

    Louisiana has the most alligators but thanks to the large supply of nutrias that we have for them to feed on, they aren't as vicious as some in other states. Today they announced that a handicapped 15 year old boy in diapers, who lived on the edge of the swamps, escaped from his house through...

Today I tracked it again and it is in Anchorage Alaska. WTF? Tracking Number: 9405508106244165467843 Copy Add to Informed Delivery...

    Gin and Tonic fans? What's up with tonic water these days?

    Coca Cola in 10 ounce returnable bottles was my favorite drink until "New Coke" came out which I hated. I don't remember if that is when they started using HFCS but I do know that it had much less carbonation giving it a flatter taste. This was because they started using very thin aluminum cans...

    You Know You Are Old When

    I was very young when my parents listened to Fibber Magee and Molly on the radio. All I remember about it was that when they opened the closet door, there was an avalanche of items toppling onto the floor and my parents breaking into laughter everytime that happened.

    Rant on shipping

    How can this happen? I mailed this small package to a customer on September 25, 2024 and today I got it back marked Return to Sender. I even printed a photo of the house to deliver it to on the back in case they didn't have an address number showing. I tried to track it to see what type of...

    Strange things your pets do...

    I've had at least a hundred dogs in my lifetime but never had one that could catch a squirrel. My coon dogs could easily catch a coon at night and the untrained ones could catch a possum, mink or nutria. They would learn about nutria the hard way as the nutria would always bite them under the...

    How to get rid of Hornets?

    I have some big plastic syringes but the last time I put gasoline in one, it melted the plunger and made it stick to the sides so it wouldn't squirt out.

    How to get rid of Hornets?

    I just wanted the fireworks to blow a hole in the nest or blow it apart so I could get the spray inside it. Maybe at night I could hit it with a shovel to try to break it and run away. Then come back and spray after they settle back down.

    How to get rid of Hornets?

    One problem I have is that the bottom of their nest where the entrance hole is,is only about an inch above the floor of the cabinet and in the far back corner. To spray something in the hole I would need a long spray tube with a 90 degree, short upturn at the end of it. I was wondering if I...

    How to get rid of Hornets?

    I had not been in a shed I have in a couple of months and went it for a second until I saw hornets buzzing and then I ran out. I came back later with a new can of hornet spray and wearing some more protective clothing and located the hornet nest under the bottom shelf inside a closet. I gave the...

    Dogs.

    We had the nicest mixed breed dog years ago that obeyed so well that we kept him inside at night. On a hot summer day we bought him a little plastic pool but he wouldn't go in it, He thought it was a water dish and drank out of it for about 20 minutes straight. The next morning when we got up...
